I like the two bolded moves, dislike the other two. Farabee doesn't impress me in the slightest Foegele strikes me as a playoff darling this year that will be overpaid

Except if Tavares waives to go elsewhere, he only is owed 1 mil cash after July 1st Link for this Hockey buzz commenter please

I don’t trust McGroaty to sign and I have zero interest in promising him an NHL spot

Trading 11 for Laughton and Deslauries should get their staff fired instantly

That honestly would be hilarious just to see Toronto fans wring their hands in outrage

https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/5259108 How'd this team fare?

I wish I could both roll my eyes at your comment and the idiocy of not editing the video. Its one of those annoyed and exasperated eye rolls both at the need to make jabs and at the team for making it far too easy.

They can't they used up all 3 slots

Here’s a question Skinner & Krebs for Rakell and Accari We save cap and replace both players Rakell, we can use for a year or two then buy him out.

I do remember for a fact that part of our reason for being able to get him was location

Neither have great analytics; Jensen being worse

Goodrow was picked up by the Sharks so we never even had a shot in this case

Oddly tame to what we were expecting.

The main reason is because Kane wouldn’t be 9mil and has tons of playoff experience. If Skinner were making 6 mil you wouldn’t hear anything. If Kane makes 4mil, he ends up better bang for the buck. Still a one way player but it’s far less troublesome when said player isn’t your 2nd highest cap hit on the team.

My one “fear” is that Minnesota wants to build around Boldy, Rossi and Faber and they want Jack Quinn to reunite him with Rossi. That would be an extremely tough pill to swallow

That’s what confuses me besides the fact their offense is effectively 2 lines which includes Johansson and 36 year old Mats Zuccarelo. Rossi is their lone offensive threat beyond the Top 6 and his wingers are Hartman and Foligno. Great for grit, not so much for scoring. Their 4th line are 3 dudes that are just happy to be there

Just want to add looking over their forwards…. Dear god are they pretty ugly beyond the top line. Marcus Johansson is their 2LW atm.

That was a filthy goal by Perry; entirely thanks to McDavid

That is true but even so they aren’t exactly hard pressed unless they feel drawn into a corner this year with 14mil in dead cap and their “starting” roster being already locked in with 12 F 6 D and 2 G and 6 mil to put on the scratch list. That being said their roster is rather concerning; their defense is ok but getting pretty old and their offense is more or less 1 line + Rossi and Foligno

I cannot fathom why Minnesota would want to move JEE unless they are purely looking to get younger Also would you mind linking the comment page.

Hefty payday, definitely throws a wrench in some of Vancouver’s hopes to bring back Zadorov or Lindholm

Young Crosby and Vet Crosby are great, early 2010’s Crosby was a drama queen with a penchant for injuries and being goaded into stupidity between whistles. Then around 2014 he seemed to have a Eureka moment and figured out that he doesn’t need to fight Flyers players; just go through them and score.

He’s terrible now, would legitimately be a bad pickup. Goodrow is one of those toss ups, player fits the mold we need but he’s making about 1 to 1.5 mil over what he should be making. Would I personally take him on… probably; if he fails miserably he’ll probably find another taker with retention due to his playoff experience. Otherwise he’s a solid rolepalyer

Mixed feelings on him; his analytics weren't great this year but he was also being played 20-80 with Zone starts which is insanity

The difference here was one was a foregone conclusion/in the past tense and the other is projecting forward
