Thread: Deadline Decisions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Consensus in scouting world varies. I love Dom Tiano’s stuff on OHL even though he can be overbearing at times. He’s also knowledgeable and a pretty nice guy in person. I miss Bob McKenzie’s detailed scouting reports. I think Wheeler watches players more than once and respect his opinion. I’ve seen him in the stands at OHL games in more than one location.

Can’t stand Pronman. He watches players once and has a bad rep among the scouting types I’ve met. I don’t like consolidators who take others opinions and pretends they are his own. I’ve read scouting reports where they would have been more accurate if they swapped two players.

I do generally favor the Hockey Writers over the Athletic.

Ultimately if I were Sweeney, I would offer Grz, a 2025 first, a 2026 second, and their choice of any two prospects not named Lohrei, Lysell, or Poitras for Hanifin with retention to get him to the same salary as Grz.

Ultimately, Calgary may be able to get better than that. If that’s the case, so be it. To be fair, I could see that being better than a realistic offer for him. I don’t see Dallas or Detroit giving up the prospects that are popularly included by AGM types with a first rounder</div></div>

Because boston may need/want to send hampus to LTIR until the playoffs, theres much less need to ask for retention on hanifin which should make the deal easier to get over the line
