Thoughts?

Value wise, it's pretty good.
Anderson = Kaako
Lundqvist + Nemeth = Allen retained

Though, the rags are pretty tight against the cap, so adding more Cao won't really help

Hey, at least you don't get articles on how trading for Jake Gardiner makes a lot of sense.


Or how the habs would be the worst team in the Canadian division, and then what happens?.....they go to the cup final AND defeat the leafs in round 1, down 3-1 in the series

Typical

The Kotkaniemi, Hayton, and Dach (and maybe McTavish?) fiasco may make GMs reconsider their drafting strategies. Reaching for centers can be very risky although there can be a high reward attached to it.

What's wrong with McTavish?

I said maybe McTavish. Not enough sample size to include him anywhere but he may fall into that category if he doesn't pan out

Been pondering this for a while

What is Chicago's plan rn

As it just seems their plan is to sell everyone with value and restart from scratch

Cause you would think if they plan to rebuild Dach would be a key part in it

But I guess they just want to get as much value as they can for guys like

Toews
Kane
Kubalik
Strome
Dach

Huge Knights dub
Best coach on the market, you know the coach is good when he gets a new job in a week. Good for Vegas for not getting Torts or Trotz. They go for the biggest guy available. Classic Vegas.
So,.... remember what Cassidy said? How will he bring Bergeron to LV?

They want an Arizona teardown. Dach is weird though because he was just drafted.

As soon as he got fired I said it was either gonna be Vegas or Dallas

As next to Trotz he just seems perfect for what Vegas currently has

Can’t wait for the day Kevin Weekes makes a video from the Taj Mahal bathroom to break the news that Lou Lamiorello has been fired

No joke if everyone goes Arizona might have serious competition for worst team in the NHL for 2022-2023

As for trading Dach agreed makes 0 sense

Cause Dach could have been a fine C to play with Bedard.

BTW, I can't embed this tweet, because Kevin Weekes wrote more than 3 @, Idk why that connects to capfriendly not allowing me to post it, but okay.
Can this be fixed @BeterChiarelli?

Hot takes that gradually get hotter (lots of draft stuff):

- Wright goes 1oa
- Neither Jagger Firkus nor Jordan Dumais get selected in the 1st round
- Fiala gets traded for below market value (and every Wild fan on this site bends over backwards to justify that a guy who scored 85 points is actually bad and Guerin is still a genius)
- Maveric Lamoureux goes top 50
- Lane Hutson slips to the 3rd round
- The Leafs win the Atlantic on the back of Auston Matthews
winning his 3rd rocket with the most goals of the salary cap era (66+)
- Yurov gets picked by Buffalo at 16, Washington at 20, or Pittsburgh at 21
- Anaheim selects Kevin Korchinski at 10oa
- Vancouver trades down with pick 15 (somewhere in the 20s to pick up a 2nd, maybe some sort of deal with Arizona, Buffalo, or Montreal who have a lot of picks) OR they reach for a guy who should go in the 2nd (my guess would be Salomonsson or Bystedt)
- Lekkerimaki makes his team out of training camp (regardless of where he goes, my current guess is San Jose though)
- McDavid wins the Hart with the first 130 point season of the 21st century, but the Oilers only finish 3rd in the Pacific due to Draisaitl missing significant time to injury, and being unable to replace Kane (who walks), Puljujarvi (who gets traded), and not upgrading the goalie tandem (Smith/Skinner)
- Vegas hires Cassidy and wins the President’s trophy on the back of Stone winning the Selke, Eichel’s first 40-goal and 100-point season, and Theodore finishing top 5 in Norris voting

Step 1 of my mega prediction is complete 😈

That was a fine prediction when it happened. It just didn’t end up being true. Don’t try to pretend like anyone on planet earth expected the habs to make the finals lol, even yourself.

The real atrocity would be like, saying that the leafs should have won but they got “goalied”.
