2 years, haven't seen AAV yet. Guessing under 2.5. Hope he survives this offseason, really like him as a player and still only 21. EDIT: 2.3M per.
Agree it would be a waste. He has the pedigree as a early pick and the skating ability that I have to think some team out there would be willing to...
I think the point is that Tinordi will likely be the 7th D, which was pretty much the last role available for Hajek. Nemeth was the dagger for Hajek....
Wrong. Suter can still play and will get a great deal this offseason from a contender. The point is moot anyway as the role is filled.
I like him for the third pair. Fits what they are looking for in a partner for Nils. He wasn't great in the playoffs in the COL games I saw, but...
Yes agreed it had to happen, and I do like Blais in our bottom 6. Just thought the return would have taken a different direction.
In a vacuum it's not a great trade value-wise in my opinion. Blais will be a very nice player for us on the 4th line and PK, and was on the cup team....
Laf-Zibanejad-Kakko Panarin - C Upgrade - Kravtsov Kreider-Chytil-Goodrow Barron-Richards-Rooney I can see that being our lineup opening day....
Why are we repeatedly calling Goodrow a 4th line player? He just won two cups playing 3rd line winger on a very important line for Tampa. So he’s a...
As I said, there are many valid arguments as to why we might want to move on from Mika. His struggles in the faceoff dot are one of them. But surely...
There are valid arguments as to why we might want to move on from Mika, but now we're calling him "worse than below average defensively" and "one...
In my post I completely forgot about Lafreniere, who has a lot of that type of game in him.
Kakko is not a shoot first player at all. Sure he “can be”, but it would take away from his natural style and strengths, which is being a possession...
Wahlstom is a pure shoot-first player and we can certainly use more of those. It was a hole at the time of that draft and it continues to be one now.
EDIT: Sorry, misread what the rumor was you were referring to.
Good man, wish him well (but not too well). Hey JD - the Columbus blueline is looking pretty thin. We have some solid defensive prospects you might...
If the idea is to get tougher to play against and to add more jam to compliment the skill guys, which has been a running theme in everything we have...
Chuck, did you write that or is that a copy/paste from somewhere? I ask because I like Monahan a lot, have posted about him before, but whoever wrote...
Horvat is a very good idea. He's a great 2 way player and penalty killer, and always up there in faceoffs. Just checked the numbers, he hasnt been...
Zib leaves a lot to be desired as a leader, but as a center he would be very difficult to replace. He’s our best center in all 3 zones and were it...
