  1. I just love these vids, one of my favourites every year.   I do realize these are rigged to focus on the guys they drafted, would love to see one day to see their comments on other players.  But I guess those are the secrets kept indoors.

    Wanted to post this myself, but embedded now below 🙂

    We've got a good number at 32 teams with 4 divisions.

    Why not move the Coyotes to Atlanta?

    Probably makes to mush sense/Bettman still won't admit he was wrong about Phoenix.

    Well from what I read the youth hockey in Arizona does much better than Atlanta.

    But if you want to a city located in the east with easy west coference access, the biggest passenger airport in the world should offer you that.

    Yes -- it's not rational or in the teams' best interests, but IMHO more likely to happen in a market like Winnipeg where the pressure and media/fan scrutiny is very heavy.

     

    I love TT, and this is likely to prove out, but I don't this story is fully written yet.  Kyrou and Thomas are both really good.

    Both might not be in the league anymore if the 5 names of that CHL rape come out.

    I think that none of Helle, Saros or Hart (and probably not Demko or Markstrom) was coming here without one of those 5 coming back (including this year's #1 as a proxy for Benson in any potential pre-draft trade).

    Does either of you think the Sabres could've gotten/could get at present one of those goalies for Rosen or Östlund or a 2024 #1?

    In my mind he is as good as Savoie and Kulich right now which deem most untouchable, so yeah Östlund rosen and 2024 1st should get helle.   Might point is the jets will ask for Levi as part of the deal and they you want Helle locked up 7 more years.  

    Hart Is at the same level as Comrie at this moment, with just more games played.    Demko and Marktstrom are gambles seeing the last season they played.

    So only Saros and Helle would deserve a good prospect or  2 back if signed longterm.   I keep saying the goalie market has been a sellers market for years now and a lot of teams looking for a good fit in net.

    Better to receive a first round pick this year, than pay a first to take Karlsson two years from now? Maybe Karlsson is Chara and lives up to the length of contract but unlikely. The cap dump salaries are off the books by 2025, which probably aligns with their plans for trying to complete again.  

    Still would have preferred a young prospect at least in that deal, But it shouldn't come from Montreal and Pens don't have anything good.   Still feel like SJS got fleeced in this one.   And they retain 1.5 mill next 4 years too.

    Poor McDavid is not going to get a cup in Edmonton. If only he went to a younger team that was on the rise and he wasn’t the only center of attention on the team. Hmmm I wonder what teams fit that description.

    Best part of this is, by the time his contract ends, Toronto might be in such a suck mode they will have room for him but will he want to go there?

    Losing Norris for 74 games was a big blow for them last season.  They didn’t have their 1C coming off a 35 goal season for basically the whole season.

    Also, Chychrun.  They added him but he only played 12 games for them.  Hard to imagine he will play close to a full season, but I’d imagine they will have him for 50 games this season.

    So they are also adding a top 6 C and a top-4 D to their lineup, and they should get continued development improvements from some young guys.  They should be improved over last season..

    Yeah but we are not getting worse either, I think Clifton is an uderrated signing.   Greenway might surprise us next year.

    Goalie with Levi is a question mark for the entire league, but I believe in him.   Personally I think Comrie might make a good back up this year.
