New Faces

It'll be interesting to see what NYI is going to do and how that works out.

This is similar to the Toews deal a bit ago. Numbers are all fine

Don’t like the lines
Beauvillier-Suzuki-Caufield
Toffoli-KK-Anderson
Lehkonen-Evans-Gallagher
Byron-Poehling-Armia
Perry

The isles will trade or buyout Leddy. They’re not trading Beauvillier

Holy cow did our D get bad over night
Like WPG went from a great D core to nothing but its was a progression


This is just a nightmare for any goalie
Given last time our LD was this weak Price had a bad year with Media all over him about his "weak glove side"
i'd say this eliminates us from the playoffs by taking Price out of the equation especially after picking up a player who's playoff numbers make us consider Starting Primeau just so we can get a win (check it out , Berniers numbers are REAL BAD)

Hamilton i'd love to have but Kulak is crap after 16 minutes on ice
its why he was benched so often because all but i think 1 point came at 16 minutes or under .
His 2 way numbers take a nose dive and turnovers increase.
He's a great 6/7th D but thats it

If the cost of Hamilton is a LD this weak its not worth it.
Putting Edmundston and Kulak in each others spots helps a lot but still leaves our 3rd pair as unreliable depth options.

I like Oleksiak he's just a down grade from Chiarot in every respect
Chiarot especially during injuries in which MTL always sufferers was the only D to step up and lead the team in minutes.
He's big , mean and unrelenting in his role of protecting price without being a liability.
Not to mention a Huge part of our PK that led the NHL and with Weber out losing him to puts us back to square 1

Losing Weber is only good for MTL in any ways you look at it
