Well Hague just got traded from VGK to Nashville and got a 4 yr deal at 22 million. I have watched Hague from when he was drafted until now. I was guessing he would get a raise to 4 million to maybe 4.5 but 5.5 good for him. He’s still young and has never really produced offensively and his skating is so so. The Golden Knights will receive defenceman Jeremy Lauzon and forward Colton Sissons in return. I have no faith in Adams to get back anything special from the Blue Jackets as I don’t see them moving out a good young player when they are pushing to make the playoffs. I would love Byfield for Byram. Seen tons of Kings games being here in Vegas and Buffalo might have to add something.

Well that was a tad expensive

I don't think we have even a slight chance of landing Marner.

That would be a nice thought if ka actually wanted to give him that contract. He wants a forward....and it's obvious

We wont know until they see how they play together but Doan will be pushing to crack the line up.

Give him a 2x6.85 mil deal and tell other GMs to suck it then My guesses would be Voronkov, Marchenko, and Jenner

My gut tells me the sabres feel like they have too much money locked up in D right now. Suspecting that is why the byram return rumors are light...GMS know ka is stuck

Isn't this a combination of the two? Even strength they were on the ice together for 35 goals for (offense) and 15 goals against (defense). 70% of the goals scored when Dahlin and Byram were on the ice together at even strength, were Sabre goals. That's really, really good. Also, why are you not including offensive stats in your evaluation of D-men?

Geekie had 33 goals. If he cracks 30 again that's a hell of a deal. More likely he's in the 20s but I'd still put McLeod a step below that. 4 million seems right to me for McLeod.

Apparently, GMKA wasn’t able to convince Peterka to stay since the trade deadline. Which RFA Sabre(s) switch to Walsh as their agent this season to prepare for next summer? Krebs, Benson, Doan, Kesselring?

Why are you evaluating defensemen by their offensive stats?

Walsh works for his clients to get them what they want. He didn't give a counter offer because JJ didn't want to be here. Why do you think he was feeding his stooge Fat Frank all of those stories?

Sign and trade on Provorov?

I have no idea where Doan goes. Switch with Malenstyn?

I’m assuming they’re losing Provolov to UFA so they prob do need a dman. Provolov wouldn’t be a bad partner for Dahlin btw.

They would be stupid enough to think that.

Columbus doesn't seem to have much that to want. I mean I'd love Kirill Marchenko but he'd have to play LW here or move Tage back to C but Columbus couldn't be that dumb? Jet Greaves save percentage been good as a backup but he still hasn't played 30 NHL games to date.

He seems like the perfect middle six forward...odd if Columbus moves him with the contract control they have

Well Jaro knows CLB well. Dmitri Voronkov Is the only LW of interest on their roster. 48 points last year, young (24) and huge 6’5”. Not sure he’s 1st line material and if CLB traded him their Laws would look hideous

If Mrtka was truly 7th on their board, and their top 6 went top 6 in the draft, then that means they had Mrtka rated higher than Hagens. Which is interesting. Not bad, necessarily. But I don’t think that would have been the case two years ago.

Makes sense. They are not keeping him based on the moves they made.

Hmmmm…

Picking up a first line forward is a must. Next, they extended Quinn, he needs to take a big step this season. You are missing Doan. Doan should get a good long look at 3rd line ice time. Lindy must want some jam - Doan and Benson, or Doan and Greenway in certain situations.

I would sign up for a similar deal for McLeod
