Not substantially. But Lyon will likely be able to handle a larger workload than those two before wearing down, which has its benefits.

His stats from the past couple years in Detroit are pretty unassuming but I haven't taken the time to actually watch him play. My initial read on it is he's good enough to comfortably hold down the backup role but not someone who will prevent Levi from earning that spot. This sits much better with me than going into the year with UPL-Levi as our two goalies.

I haven't seen/heard the segment, but apparently Friedman has us as the expected landing spot for Alex Lyon.

Could be Skjei as well, he has a similar contract situation. If they do actually trade for Karlsson, I'd imagine they'd move both of them.

Hard to deny that DeDominicis has sources at this point. And he's been fairly forthright about when he has scoop and when he doesn't. Outside of the Dahlin signing (which we're obviously still waiting on), he's been pretty clear that he doesn't have any intel about upcoming moves right now.

The Lou special.

What kind of contract do we expect Soucy to get? And would we be happy with giving him that money? He's the type of player I'd love to see them target for the right price. Lefty but can play on the right side if needed. Has played bottom pairing minutes his whole career but I think there's potential there to be a #4.

Gets handed the award by the guy he looked up to and modeled his game after. Gotta be an amazing night for Linus.

Like others have said, that's Jeff Skinner.

Hockey related revenue.

Buffalo: X, Anderson Rochester: UPL, Subban Looks fine to me. Better find that X...

That one stings a little. We don't really have a Gustavsson to send back, but I'd like to think we could have made something work. Edit: Didn't realize that Gustavsson was such a high pick, he looks pretty equivalent to UPL. So in that case, I'm glad we didn't go this route.

From a quick look at Hockey Reference, Milano has been given very skewed offensive zone deployment for his entire career, as high as 76% OZS last season. And I haven't watched Milano since his draft year but his profile was of a flashy skilled player who needed to round out his overall and defensive game. Are we sure that those Evolving Hockey numbers aren't a mirage created by his heavy offensive zone usage? I know players can adapt their games to carve out a role, but at first glance I'm not seeing the profile of a solid defensively responsible winger. I'm seeing a "sheltered third scoring line" winger, and I'd much rather see that position be given to one of the kids than Sonny Milano.

Where was the Gibson rumor reported? I must have missed it.

Assuming this happens, that fills one hole and potentially opens up another. Sens fans seem undecided on if Forsberg/Gustavsson is the answer or if they'd bring in another G.
