Apparently the plan is for Bjugstad and McCann to play tonight. That should be fun. Welcome, boys. e: And Geno is day-to-day (will not play this weekend) Good Soldier Svejk fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Feb 1, 2019 |

Zodijackylite posted:The 2nd and 4th are basically chances to have players like the ones they just acquired, but five years down the road when their superstars are nearing retirement. For real, you might get a McCann as a 2nd rounder and like... no one in the 4th. This is the right move although I am not sure what we're gonna do with all the RWs (Kessel, Hornqvist, Rust, Bjugstad). I feel like it's more likely that one of them is moved than a d-man but I guess we'll see.

rex rabidorum vires posted:All of this is fair. I'm not opposed to moving Maatta it depends on what comes back. I think Riikola is *maybe* a better option already and that's with playing way less NA playing time and probably having a bunch more upside. All stats (and eyes) show Riikola is pretty much a pre-season flash in the pan. Granted, he's getting absolutely murdered with zone starts but so is Maatta, but Maatta at least has a really good outlet pass still. Pettersson on the other hand is an absolute delight and when Schultz comes back we'll have enough d-men to have at least one good one on each pairing.

rex rabidorum vires posted:It comes down to who are you playing in that 4D role and then pushing in to the bottom pairing? Johnson absolutely deserves being on the bottom pairing. Pettersson I really like as well, but you probably don't want to put him up that high...and Maatta/Johnson is an absolute disaster. Given that Schultz was getting something insane like 60 percent offensive zone starts last year I wonder if the idea was to pair him with JJ and give them the easiest coverage. That leaves Dumo/Letang and Maatta/Pettersson to handle the harder minutes and I feel more confident in those pairings. I don't know. I don't know what you do with that loving JMFJ boat-anchor he is just so bad. He doesn't look as bad as like a Scuderi did because he can still kinda skate but he is one of the worst decision makers I've ever seen. We can only hope Sid really begged to get him this contract as a favor and JR can find someone (Bennnnnnnning) to convince he's worth having

For them to be spending anywhere close to the cap, they'd have to go pretty hard after some of the big name UFAs out there. I'm thinking a core of Duchene, Stone, and maybe Karlsson if they can land him

None of those players are good but Arizona gave up the "better" one. Cleaning up a contract spot maybe

DJExile posted:They... honestly don't seem to. They're in a bit of an odd spot. They have like $20 million in the offseason if they let the UFAs walk. That's plenty to play with, especially if Luongo retires/Reimer gets traded. Isles and Rangers, too, as far as the rumored desired destinations go.

Mike_V posted:The Blues have been legitimately very good since Jordan Binnington was given a bunch of starts. Thanks again for Ryan O'Reilly, Botterill, he has been the best player they've had since...I don't know, probably the 90s or very early 2000s. What about Tarasenko?

Aye Doc posted:imo Ovi is going to crush all the previous old man goal scoring records. first of all, look how stupid this is already - amount of seasons with 40+ goals by a player 33 years or older including Ovi hitting it tonight: 22. if he hits 55 (just about on pace to do it), he breaks Jagr's record for most goals in someone's age 33 season Sometimes it worth sitting back and reflecting that Ovi's lowest scoring season is 32 goals (and that was a shortened season) The next lowest was 33 and I think we can all agree that looks more like an aberration than the norm

rex rabidorum vires posted:Hagelin wasn't very good this season as a PK'er which is one of the reasons the Pens moved him. Tack on what production he once had disappearing and welp . Granted if LA retains half you're only out 1.25mil in cap space plus whatever you gave up to bring him in. If he's a part in a bigger transaction plus some retaining he's also probably fine if you can shove him in the bottom 6. Yeah, you won't find many better than Hagelin at ~$1m. You can find plenty better than him at ~$4m.

Ryan Donato appears to have a small statistical chance to one day be as good of a player as Coyle and a 5th round pick is nothing. I guess they can sign Donato long-term for cheaper maybe? I'm really surprised Coyle wouldn't get a better return
