Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Ben Chiarot (3 Years / $3,500,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>Went back to see what people were saying about Chiarot signing since he was so good on the first pair this year.

Funny how your comment is the same as what some people are saying about Edmundson right now.

It gives me hope that advanced stats and prior responsabilities dont give out the full picture of a player's potential...</div></div>

I was merely asking the question since I hardly ever see WPG games on tv. Edmundson scored 7G this year and had a career year offensively. His stock is very high right now. Alzner was also coming off a big year with WASH when MB signed him. I don't think the Edmundson deal will blow up in MB's face like Alzner, but I don't like the cap management.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>chloewoj</b></div><div>i'm confused here...are you trying to discredit torts for everything that he did this year? once panarin, duchene, and bob all left columbus last year every single person wrote the blue jackets off and said they had no chance in hell to make the playoffs. that team has no offensive superstars (i wouldn't call PLD a superstar just yet)...they have some good players but nothing great. torts absolutely carried a team that shouldn't of even been competitive to the playoffs. i don't know how you could argue against him. also, all the preseason rankings that i saw had the bruins winning the atlantic division...hard to bet against the defending eastern conference champions.</div></div>

I agree 100%. BOS was one W away from the Cup! Cassidy did a terrific job, but if Torts and Trotz hadn't won the award in the past, we wouldn't be having this conversation. CBJ is a bottom 5 team in the NHL on paper.

Thread: Scouting Reports
NJ Devils #7 Overall:

Given the Devils need to further draft and develop on the back end, I think they'd love to take Drysdale at #7. If he goes earlier (a strong possibility), Jake Sanderson seems like a solid pick. He's the #2 North American Defenseman, according to NHL.com and eliteprospects.com. According to NHL.com, Sanderson is an excellent skater with elite hockey IQ and strong compete level, similar to Charlie McAvoy.

I've seen Cole Perfetti slotted at #7 on a number of draft boards, but I would steer clear of him from a Devils perspective. He's a high skill player, but he's undersized and the Devils need some size and toughness upfront after taking Hughes last season. I think it's essential to build a balanced prospect pool with depth at all positions. Many people believe that selecting the best available talent is the way to go. That may be true later in the 1st round, but they're desperate for future top pair D.
