2021 NHL Offseason Thread: 2 Drafts and Free Agency - Page 17 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Well first of all I am not saying they will get 15 goals from 4th line, just that is their career 82 game average. Your average NHL 4th liner gets 12:35 TOI. Armia career average is 14:35. Lehkonin is 15:03. But w/e, lolhabs or something.

Petry will get more ice time. That guy last 4 years, averages like 12 goals and 30 assists. 42 points in 52 games last year.

Romanov more, Evans more. Drouin less. Maybe Gallagher less since there is Anderson and CC. Or Anderson less than usual. Anyways guys will play hockey and they have a lot of them that can score was my point.

Rossi and Boldy looked really good in the prospect scrimmage vs the blackhawks. Assuming we finally sign Kaprisov the future is looking pretty bright here in MN.

anatta probably will post in a polite fashion this nhl season. if he doesnt call u a feg...that doesnt mean he doesnt think u are or arent. he has respect for the forum and the mods and understands u are all soft.

ok ground rules outta the way, training camp opens up this week. i expect good posting and participation this year. gl to u and ur team.

dead cap
2022-23: $12,743,588
2023-24: $14,743,588
2024-25: $14,743,588

kaprizov in, but hilarious to intentionally waste his 25-28 years treading water at best
can elc stars like boldy & rossi make up the difference? maybe, but the odds are pretty long

*tbl go b2b by exploiting the rules to have like 20% more cap space*
bill guerin: "what if i did the complete opposite??"

dude has a well-done steak for a brain

With the possible exception of cutting Suter you really can’t argue with any of them

Kaprizov over an 82-game season was on a 40-goal, 76-point pace. His 0.49 goals per game tied for first since 2006-07 among rookies with Patrik Laine and Auston Matthews.

interesting contract. interesting circumstances (24 yr old rook needing to be resigned after 50 or so games vs 7 teams, yet ldo dynamic talent, handsome lad, a face of franchise).

dollar bill kirill can become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2026 at the age of 29.

@ArponBasu
Dominique Ducharme says Mike Hoffman got hurt during one his last skates at home before coming to Montreal. Thought he was ok, jumped on the ice and it got worse. Went for an MRI and it’s possible he misses the start of the season.

now there's little room for error, and you have to keep on nailing everything for years to have any shot at winning a championship

The Kings look to be best among the Cali teams. But they will still be crap.
Arizona is tanking.
Vegas and 2 or 3 Canadian teams make the playoffs.

Really got the impression from the stories that he's dealing with some sort of health issue holding him back from getting it, and not that he's antivax.

given that his social media is full right-wing **** and his agent reps a bunch of racists & rapists etc i'm pretty skeptical of that

If the Bruins somehow manage to find a C in a draft or free agency, I'll be pretty tickled. Because somehow some way they're finding some really nice cornerstones in guys like Swayman and Lysell. The new young core of Pasta/Charlie/Lysell/Swayman is a nice set to build on.
