Is Hughes anywhere close to the top? Because he's been scoring off of slap shots as of late

That's the whole available list. Also it's the 2021 calendar year and Hughes missed significant time.

Nah, but Nash maybe for the Devils to improve defense could be tempting

Oilers and Ritchie though would be pretty funny

Lets see as every time a leaf player gets waived they mostly get claimed lul

Just ask Vesey, Boyd, Amadio, Brooks among the many many others lul

Ritchie-Mcleod-Gaersten

Ritchie-Mcleod-Kassian

or

Ritchie-Boyd-Ladd

Ekblad gets practically no credit for how good he is. Top 5 D-men in the league have to be IMO (no order) Hedman, Fox, Makar, Josi, Ekblad. HM to Jaccob Slavin (who also is enormously underrated).

that doesn't seem like something the Hurricanes would do. They like having defenseman on under market value contracts.

Lmao, that aged horribly

Dave Lowry says Cole Perfetti will play tonight.

How?

I don't see Arizona claiming Ritchie because his salary is higher than his cap hit next season

I meant the signing of Ritchie

I think he means Ritchie and the Leafs, not the quote

Early Norris candidate for sure.

I don't know if Klingberg can realistically obtain the $8M+ contracts that some speculate. An AAV in the range of Krug or Petry seems more likely to me, and it is pretty much good value for Klingberg.

I forget how do you calculate deadline cap space. Is it accumulated per day your under the cap

Trying to figure it out for something

And if someone could calculate based on having 1.2 mill in current space that would be appreciated

@Kotkaniemi15 , pretty sure you calculated the Habs cap space last year, you can probably help him

It's the 3.3mil in actually dollars that IMO will stop any team, especially a cash strapped origination like ARI, claiming. Stranger things have certainly happened, but I'm with you, Nick 100% clears tomorrow.

Who has the best defensive stats in the league currently

This season, Siegenthaler, Lindell, Heiskanen & Whitecloud stand out.

For forwards, Matthews, Bergeron, Tanev & Kämpf are at the top

I saw a chart for Matthews and his numbers are very similar to when Barkov won the Selke last season, except he doesnt PK which probs means no Selke for him lul

KEEFE put him on the PK already

Barkov and O'Reilly have also been pretty good.

If we kept Siegenthaler imo we would have the best d in the league. I miss him. Glad he is doing very well

I'm pretty sure Carolina offered Dougie Hamilton 6.25 mill x 8 , I think Carolina would offer that but I don't think there's a chance Klingberg accepts it after being criminally underpaid throughout his career. He'll sign with whoever pays him most IMO

Yeah, you’re not close to best D in the league, Carlson, Fehervary, Orlov, Jensen, Schultz, TVR with or without Siegenthaler wouldn’t cut it for best D in the league

Flames and Bruins both already have two very good RD each. Oilers could use any good defenseman, but Klingberg has slipped from an offensively strong 2-way D to more of an offense only guy (as far as I’m aware, maybe he’s had a defensive resurgence in the last month or so idk). They don’t need another Barrie, and they already have Bouchard as well. The only way they’d be in is if Barrie went the other way probably.
