Turcotte really looks like he won't pan out, he might still become a decent NHLer but 5th OA pick worthy isn't looking great

I hear you, but hard to fault a guy who can't stay healthy. Talent is there IMO

First goal for Kent Johnson in the tournament! It's 5-0 and we aren't even out of the 2nd period yet. This is getting insane now...

From the small parts i've seen, my notes: Ben Boyd is playing real scrappy and Jet Greaves likes to play the puck

The LA Kings really are the leafs greatest partners as they just gave Sandin's hopes of 2.6 miss a great big L

Thank you LA

Expecting 1.4-1.7m x 2 years by next week

the STL special, may he not become like Faulk, Krug or Parayko, also seemingly the going rate ( Hampus Lindholm just got that )

At the time of the signing, Weegar is a much better player than all 4 of those D. I like the AAV, obviously the term is a risk. Takes him to his age 37 season.

Till he's 37 would be a huge oof, thought Weegar was 26, well may the cap go up and he performs for the first 3-4 years, otherwise, that's going to sting for a while

Extra Hot Takes. Just through stuff on here I want to happen as well.

Buffalo ends the season with 105 points. 4 players are point per game including Dahlin who finishes with 25 goals and 90 points.

Washington, Boston and Pittsburgh miss the playoffs because of age and injuries.

Colorado finishes 3rd after just beating out Winnipeg for 3rd.

Chicago doesn't finish bottom 5 after demanding 2 much for Kane and not ending up trading him at the TDL. Losing him for free and missing out on the high end prospects.

Slafkovsky plays great, playing most of the season as the #1 LW with Suzuki and Caufield. Ends the season with 35 goals and 70 points. (25 secondary assists)

Shane Wright starts horribly and is sent back to Junior after 9 games to not burn his ELC.

Ottawa leads the leagues in goals scored and allowed.

Vegas finishes first in the Pacific. Eichel and Kessel play together on the first line with a surprise LW Nolan Patrick as they lead a resurgence of there careers. (Kessel is just back in the spot light lol)
Eichel gets 40 goals and 100+ points.
Kessel gets 25 goals and 70 points
And Patrick finishes it off with 30 goals and 70 points for most improved player.

Anyone else get the feeling Ullmark's stay in Boston could be the shortest seen

As when Swayman is due for his deal it makes no sense to have two 5mill goalies

So I think hes getting moved question is what team

With Murray and Sammy?

Makes no sense

As my prediction is for Toronto in 2022-2023

If Murray rebounds and Sammy also does well Leafs will Sign Sammy to another 1 year wait for Murray's deal to expire then extend Sammy as a 26 year old starter for us would solve some issues for a long time

People really need to realize that Calgary doesn’t give a sh*t about how any of their contracts look longer than 3 years down the line lmao, our window is right now, and by 2025 we’ll likely be aging out of contender status. It’s cup or bust for the next few seasons and then a scorched earth rebuild.

My prediction for Calgary is Weegar gets extended and then Kylington gets traded for a winger. Dont know who yet but I feel of the 2 keeping Weegar is the smart idea

I feel Weegar signs an extension by the TDL and then Kylington is moved in a package for someone (maybe Kane)

That seems like more of a deadline move tbh, seeing how we just signed Kylington. He’s also on an incredible steal of a deal for the next two years. I would be wanting to get either a true impact winger (i.e. Kane) or someone with a few years of term/team control, preferably around the same age (i.e. Meier) if we were to move him. Obviously Calgary would add, but he’s an appealing trade chip for anyone that isn’t at the very bottom of their rebuild curve right now.

Thats probs the plan move Kylington for a good wing in a 1 for 1 or in a big package for Kane.

Heck maybe its a mid season trade if Chicago bites the bait
