Chicago offer sheets lafreniere 5×5m. Dirt pool but would cost a 1st and 3rd and not much nyr can do.

10 Aug 2023 00:24:00
I’m sure they gladly take a top 5 pick.

10 Aug 2023 01:41:25
Rangers would love Chicago’s first for Laf. Chicago could also offer 4.3M or less and only give up a 2nd. He’s probably worth 2.5-3?

10 Aug 2023 15:38:26
Is he even eligible to be offer sheeted?

Don't wanna be that guy but I was the one who said Matt Murray will be put onto LTIR next and was met with a ton of back last. Well I told you all so.

27 Jul 2023 03:27:05
Don't be that guy then VB. Congratulations on a good call, but just be humble.

Maybe tarasenko says, maybe next year when the cap goes up and better options try again, 1 year, 6.75 to chicago to play top line with Bedard and hall. Heck, hes already fired an agent and l, heard Carolina but maybe leaning to a 1 year deal like a few others for a bigger payday next year, never know.

I think the biggest misconception in the NHL is that Mathew Barzal is a centre. He is stapled as a winger beside Horvat this upcoming season and his max career FOW is only 30 more then William Nylanders career high ( also that was during 2017 Barzals rookie season and ironically Nylanders largest exposure at C )

During that season Nylander was 51% in the dot vs Barzals 43% ( career high 46% )

So in short Barzal is highly overrated but with that being said I think he is a PPG+ player in a offensive system as a winger.

A player who is a winger that pretends to be a C.

If the Canucks put bieksa in for one face-off in 82 games and he wins it, does that mean his 100% face-off percentage makes him better than Patrice bergeron?

12 Jul 2023 16:40:26
Well if you put him out for only over 400 faceoffs like Nylander and he wins all of them then yes it does…….

13 Jul 2023 07:56:59
Faceoffs are important and 46% stinks, toews best ever at 63.1. Most 1st line centers would be at 53-54 . 46 is bad. that's why some people here have a bad misconception of lindholm. Old toews old kopitar, old Bergeron, they all have the same in common. End of game, 1 goal down and offensive zone f/ o, they there, defensive zone 1 goal up, they're there. That's a true 1st center. 54% or better and even better in bad spots.

That’s all Ottawa got for Debrincat? The market is so bad right now, its going to seriously screw over the Flames. Gonna be a long rebuild..

11 Jul 2023 04:05:08
Yup people always overestimate players values on this site. Pretty well was the expected return on HF boards.

13 Jul 2023 07:59:55
Seems weird to compare. Debrincat says not signing and 2 teams? Hanifan has as many as 6 already and he has a year left. Very bad comparison.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Sporting Villains 4: Lance Armstrong

Can’t wait for the Flames to overpay Lindholm for 9mil @ 8 years..

07 Jul 2023 22:06:40
Plot twist he walks as a UFA.

I miss MoxNix

Leafs signed Klingberg for a steal !

Willy Nylander wants Marner money !

Bertuzzi wants Toronto, will wait until Nylander is traded.

Bertuzzi $6.75 X 6 ?

So I am extremely disappointed the Habs took Reinbacher over Michkov. I know all the issues with Russian players at the movement as well as well know has been able to see much development since the war.

I'm not all that educated on the players, I know the obvious like Bedard and Fantilli, and was very high on Michkov a couple years ago at the canceled World Jr when he was 16. But can someone tell me a little about Reinbacher? All I know is he's a right hand shot. K , cool. I just felt( im probably wrong) that there seemed to be so many guys called after him that I was more excited about .

29 Jun 2023 05:35:03
On most draft rankings he was the best defenseman, though it was crazy varied. He will be very good and montreal already has giant offensive pieces so want equal de pieces. Size. Watching he really understands how hockey and quick, he'll should be a top 2, not dahlin or power but could develop to be better. Or could just be a journeyman. Who knows. Swiss . Rumor is that if fantilli went 2nd, Smith woulda be 3rd so team needs and likes are anybodys quess.

29 Jun 2023 18:02:56
I think he will be a good choice.

30 Jun 2023 04:52:33
Atleast you didnt pull a Arizona and pick the wrong Russian.
