Im also curious as to where the Eichel that plays against Toronto, Boston, Buffalo and a couple others is other nights. He’s an elite player when he plays 200ft and uses his size and speed to generate offense. But as we’ve seen and has been seen in Vegas he seems to never fully commit to playing 100% every game. Tuch will occasionally have an off day but 9 out of 10 games he’ll at least give you 110% effort and use his lesser skill and far more effectiveness.

Damn Hellebuyek giving us trouble again

I more or less in your camp I was fooling around with capfriendly in 2 years and we have a metric ton of players to sign or resign by then. I had Dahlin 8x10.5mil Cozens 8x8mil Power 8x9mil Quinn & Peterka are Pending RFA's at year's end Notable RFA's Mitts (does he earn another contract?) Krebs (what will he want?) UPL (What will his stats allow him to ask for and Is Levi ready for back up role or does he need 2 full AHL seasons?) Jost (Do we keep him at 2mil?) Jokiharju (Has he become a solid dman worthy of a new contract?) Notable UFA's Olofsson (will he be capable of pushing beyond his current state of being) Okposo (is he still hanging around?) Girgensons (easily could still be an effective 4th liner) Other Questions Ryan Johnson? Rousek? Kulich. Rosen, Savoie, Östlund.... who's ready if any? My shot in the dark Krebs 3 x 3.35mil UPL 3 x 4mil Jokiharju 3 x 4mil Mittelstadt 2 x 3mil Jost 2 x 2mil Rousek 2 x 1.575mil

In this case it’s true; they seem overly pass happy

Easy no, to be honest I don’t even think that would help us all that much. To me the 2023 1st is untouchable and I’m disinterested in trading Savoie. Chychrun won’t put up as much offense due to having no powerplay time and Crouse feels to much like a one hit wonder that is having a great year on a bad team akin to Girgensons looking great when he was force fed 1st line minutes early in his career.

Quinn looks like he always does in his first year in a league; flashes of greatness with intermittent errors. He needs to grow further into his body and get stronger but he is not afraid, he's just weaker presently. Tage is in his own head at the moment; teams are playing him tighter and he's trying to figure out how to adapt and has sort of gotten drawn into over stickhandling the puck. Okposo + Girgensons make their center play more straightforward and we can see how much better Krebs has looked thanks to their mentorship. Krebs probably will never be quite as insane as Marchand but he certainly has the dogged determination and even a sneaky edge to him. Nice goals Dahlin looked great as usual The Bush was a giving tree today GoOlofsson with 2 more Cozens with another nifty goal.

How does that fat bastard always score on us

Dear lord Bush

The Isles are playing the new 6 goalie lineup

The ceremony, then warm ups and then the game. My guess is that after RJ night went over it’s time that the NHL wasn’t exactly happy with the idea of having another situation akin to that arise.

If Lucic’s hit occurred today it would depend who was on the ice. Guys like Tuch or Jost would go after Lucic to fight. Dahlin, Muel, Bush and guys akin to that would certainly legitimately scrum. Not just bear hug him, like Gaustad did. Mitts and Krebs would depend on the day if their feistiness was enough at that point to mix it up.

Yes of course; not sure why he wouldn't like it here though

He has zero protections

If there's one theoretically available player I'd be interested in, it's Sam Bennett. He's a physical LW/C who's never been a prolific scorer, besides last year, but plays with that reckless abandon our team lacks.

A game they needed to win and they outright blew it. I wish they’d stop with dipstick doodling and just crash the net. Well they better have been saving their energy for the Miller game Thursday night

Mitts with the own goal

We just cannot close out games; unsure as exactly why but it seems as if no matter how much momentum or energy we have we always somehow alway blow the lead.

Well their goal scorer literally had his stick in Dahlin’s hands for 3 seconds until he made him lose the puck

He dared to complain about being hooked

Is it the pucks or the ice that would cause the puck to stick to the ice the way it has tonight?

Tage looks jumpy since his All-Star birth

I think 8 years will cost under 11mil unless he gets the Norris 8x10.75 would be a very fair offer. That's a tad over 12.5% of an 85mil cap ceiling.

Barring him winning the Norris I don’t see it. Karlsson is the lone 12.5 mil man on D and no one else even approaches that within 2 mil. Dahlin’s side may want Karlsson money but Fox’s AAV will pull him down a bit. He’s 7x9.5

My guess is that he’s taking over more of the financial/business aspects since Kim seems to no longer be doing so.

Dahlin at minimum gets 9.9mil in the event he’s superstitious about the whole winning the Stanley Cup thing
