So because I'm bored and I've no life here's my 2021 NHL Free Agency prediction

Just listed those contracts that I expect to over $2M in terms of cap hit

(note: Some of these contracts doesn't make sense on purpose, I'm just assuming for a total overpayment)

Alex Ovechkin, WSH, 4 x $10,8M
Dougie Hamilton, NJ, 7 x $8,8M
Gabriel Landeskog, STL, 7 x $8,571,429
Phillip Grubauer, COL, 6 x $6M
Phillip Danault, SEA, 6 x $5,75M
Zach Hyman, EDM, 7 x $5,5M
Tyson Barrie, EDM, 5 x $5,5M
David Savard, MTL, 5 x $5,5M
Blake Coleman, PHI, 6 x $5,33M
Alec Martinez, VGK, 3 x $5,25M
Jaden Schwartz, SEA, 5 x $5M
David Krejci, BOS, 3 x $5M
Tuukka Rask, BOS, 2 x $5M
Mike Hoffman, LA, 4 x $4,65M
Kyle Palmieri, COL, 4 x $4,5M
Brandon Saad, CAR, 4 x $4,5M
Casey Cizikas, NYI, 6 x $4,375M
Petr Mrazek, BUF, 4 x $4,35M
Mikael Granlund, NSH, 4 x $4,25M
Tomas Tatar, EDM, 4 x $4,25M
Brandon Montour, VAN, 4 x $4M
Pius Suter, BUF, 2 x $4M
Alexander Wennberg, MTL, 4 x $3,875M
Nick Bonino, TOR, 3 x $3,5M
Jake McCabe, FLA, 3 x $3,5M
Ryan Suter, NYI, 3 x $3,5M
Joel Armia, CGY, 4 x $3,35M
Fredrik Andersen, ARI, 2 x $3,25M
Mattias Janmark, SJ, 3 x $3,15M
Ryan Murray, DAL, 3 x $3M
Mike Reilly, OTT, 3 x $3M
Jonathan Bernier, CAR, 2 x $3M
Cody Ceci, CAR, 2 x $3M
Nick Foligno, MIN, 2 x $3M
Alexander Edler, CGY, 1 x $3M
Linus Ullmark, PHI, 1 x $3M
Patrik Nemeth, ARI, 3 x $2,775M
Nick Ritchie, TOR, 4 x $2,75M
Erik Haula, DAL, 2 x $2,75M
Marcus Johansson, MTL, 2 x $2,65M
Sami Vatanen, CBJ, 2 x $2,5M
Keith Yandle, BOS, 2 x $2,5M
Erik Gudbranson, BUF, 2 x $2,375M
Derek Ryan, SEA, 2 x $2,375M
Ian Cole, NYR, 2 x $2,35M
Alex Goligoski, MIN, 2 x $2,275M
Laurent Brossoit, PIT, 2 x $2,25M
Travis Hamonic, PIT, 2 x $2,25M
Michael Bunting, ARI, 3 x $2M
Jani Hakanpää, CAR, 2 x $2M
Jaroslav Halak, CAR, 2 x $2M
Ryan Getzlaf, ANA, 1 x $2M

And where I expect other lower cap players to sign...

Bellemare --> PIT
Benn --> SEA
Bogosian --> CGY
Boyd --> TOR
Brassard --> LA
Caggiula --> MTL
Chara --> TOR
Chiasson --> BOS
Dal Colle --> SJ
Del Zotto --> CBJ
Demers --> BUF
Donato --> TB
Dzingel --> VGK
Elliott --> NSH
Galchenyuk --> TOR
Glendening --> DET
Gustafsson --> CHI
Hayden --> MIN
Heinen --> TOR
Hunt --> SJ
Hutton --> ARI
Jankowski --> STL
Kase --> SJ
Koekkoek --> EDM
Kulikov --> NJ
Kuraly --> ARI
Leivo --> VGK
Lewis --> CGY
Marleau --> SJ
Martinook --> CAR
McGinn --> BUF
Nash --> FLA
Nosek --> EDM
Oesterle --> WPG
Parise --> NYI
Paquette --> MTL
Perry --> COL
Poolman --> DAL
Pysyk --> PIT
Raanta --> CBJ
Raffl --> WSH
Reimer --> TB
Rieder --> CAR
Rittich --> NJ
B.Ryan --> PHI
Schenn --> VAN
Sheahan --> ANA
Stepan --> CBJ
Sutter --> VAN
E.Staal --> DET
E.Svechnikov --> CAR
Thornton --> TOR
Zajac --> NYI
Vesey --> NJ

Unless we get Eichel I think Calgary gets a bigger name than Armia or Bogosian (also Bogo wants to go to USA and the Flames will sign Stone for 3RD like we always do). We have like 15mil in cap space to sign a backup goalie, and can then focus on upgrading the forwards, which I think will involve at least one if not two top six guys. Also Ottawa needs a RD not Reilly back, he probably signs in Boston, Minnesota, or Florida imo.

People seen to forget about when major NHLers are in an “incident” while when a prospect is in one do not draft*( depends on what the prospect and player does )

Yeah, whatever happened about that? It was a big news story, then it just went away and I forgot about it until now.

I could hear Pietrangelo being No. 5, and even could hear McAvoy being No. 6, but I wouldn't put Hamilton below 7 at lowest.


Idk I'd have him around 12-18 can't find ur top 20 again though

Because people tend to forget when major NHLers are in controversies, ex Matthews, Patty Kane, Evander Kane, etc but when a prospect is in one, do not draft him

It was bad but honestly his father ****ed up calling the security lady a liar. Matthews was ready to apologize to her but his dad ruined it making the event go public.

Deangelo on the other hand is an avid racist and toxic human being. Put him in a multicultural province like Ontario and yeah hes gonna need security wherever he goes.

In general what matthews did was wrong but its better than being a toxic racist human being. The media would have a field day with this and would not let up for the entire season. The matthews event was a month of headaches then nothing


DeAngelo is a product of his dad

Not a good excuse for his actions, sure you’re influenced by the people around you but in the end, you control yourself

I made a mock draft with the best player who shares the position of the draftee at that spot (ex: Center at 3, Johnson over McTavish ) Positions as listed per CF

If they can draft well in the coming years then Houston may actually be able to contend at some point.

It didn't really just go away, it came to a conclusion. Matthews issued an apology and the security guard dropped the charges after they reached an agreement.

Kuemper 50% retained for Koskinen would be a great move for Houston. They could get a lot of picks and prospects for their re-build.

If the Canes get Kuemper, then they're right back into the mix. It won't make up for giving away Nedeljkovic for practically nothing (a 3rd rounder and Bernier) in the long run, but it would patch up their shoddy goalie situation right now (Kuemper is better than Mrazek and Reimer-who look like they're leaving anyways-and a million times better than Bernier). Seriously, if he goes to Carolina and they also manage to re-sign Hamilton, watch out.
