  2. 2023 NHL draft rankings

    in The Aud Club

    Posted · Edited by sweetlou

    I hate the draft lottery...

    Heaven forbid a big city like Chicago go through a rebuild.  

    They need ticket sales and to be in playoff contention every year, and the NHL wants to make money.

    This is as bad as the Crosby win for Pittsburgh.

  6. Should Adams bring in a starter and make Levi the backup in 23/24?

    Like Iv'e stated earlier, I think the Sabres plan for this year was UPL and Comrie in Buffalo, with Levi in Roch.  When Levi played well after UPL and Comrie struggled things changed.

    UPL probably feels he could be a starter if given a chance.  

    Comrie only has one year left on deal, so if you trade UPL who becomes your backup next year?

    If you decide to move on from both Comrie and UPL whomever you get this year is here probably for two years.

    Goaltending and getting two more physical style d-man are themes important decisions this offseason.

    The offense will take care of itself as there is enough talent and or prospects.

    Some simple questions for KA?

    Do you want Girgs back, or do you sign a Miles Wood or Nick Ritchie.

    Who is your 4th line center who can win you face-offs, good on PK and play physical?  Luke Glendening, Colton Sissons, or Noel Acciari.

    Better d options?  Clifton, Murphy, Graves, Schenn, Gudas, Soucey, or Mikkola.

    Nashville, Vancouver, San Jose, Arizona, and St. Louis are all teams that could want a scoring winger for one year.  These teams could then flip him at the trade deadline and recoup picks. If he is on a young team without much talent, he could be in their top six and PP.  This would help his trade capital.

  10. Long-term or Bridge for Power this summer

    So Dahlin I believe will sign for 8 years at $9.5 million this summer. That will take him to age 32.

    I think KA should sign Power to a 3 year $6 million extension this summer. Then give Power the 8 year $9-11 million after that. That would take Power to year 2034-35 when he will be 33 years old.  

    This is better for the organization long term because you don't have a 30 year old UFA looking for another 6-8 contract that takes them until they are 36-38 years old.

    Okposo isn't retiring prior to hitting his 1000th game

    I doubt KA won't sign him, he's the captain of the team and beloved by the entire roster. Perhaps he only plays 25 games and retires akin to Perrault but I'd suspect he'll be here next year.

    This is my thought process as well.  Bring him back to be the vet presence for one more year on a $2 million dollar contract.  Let him play about 30-45 games barring injuries to other forwards, and let him get his 1,000 NHL game.
