Thread: Why Does Everyone Hate Zegras
“<em>If you want to skill it up, be prepared to be punched in the mouth</em>”

-- Yotes announcer (exemplifying Zegras hate, in a nutshell).

Zegras is not for you if….you prefer to watch a bunch of big bodies bounce into each other….you cringe at skill plays taking a larger share of highlight reels….if you see hits, even from top six, as key to success.

Zegras is for you if…you need to open up the ice…you have shooters, need feeders….you enjoy a good magic show from time to time.

How many guys can you count that have but a team on their back and carried them to gold at world juniors? Zegras has eventually exceeded expectations at every level he has played…and is still a kid. He will likely have multiple 100-point seasons in his career and people are offering dog biscuits for him.

Thread: Selling high on Montour and more youth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jah1722</b></div><div>I can see Tolvanen being a 30-40 point guy. A quality 3rd liner on a contender. I’m not as familiar with his game as I am Sprong’s. I find Sprong replicating this season very unlikely. He’s not trusted by NHL coaches because he doesn’t do much without the puck on his stick.</div></div>

That's probably fair. Sprong worked hard to improve his defense ahead of this season but goalscoring will always be his calling card as a player. This year he was a key depth scorer but was a bit streaky to the point where he was scratched for a time after Tolvanen forced his way into the lineup. If the Kraken wanted to improve their forward corps this offseason I could see them selling high on Sprong to bring in a true difference maker.

Thread: According to Chris Johnston
They will be able to maximize LTIR now once they place Liljegren on LTIR

</div>

If a team is under the cap prior to placing the player on LTIR, then the LTIR pool is the injured player’s cap hit minus the team cap space available at the time. For example, if a player with a $4 million cap hit goes on LTIR, and their team has $100,000 of cap space the team’s LTIR pool would be $3.9 million ($4 million-$100,000). Because of this, teams often make several roster moves right before a player goes on LTIR to be as close to the cap as possible to maximize their LTIR Pool.

Thread: Does Manson fit Colorado
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jah1722</b></div><div>Tell me how lingering concussion symptoms that forced him to step away is not a long term thing?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Anus_McLeod</b></div><div>You don't know that's what is going on. He is listed as having left the team for personal reasons. When he had a concussion, it was listed as such. When he was dealing with symptoms, it was listed as a head injury. It's neither here, so it could be something unrelated.

Bottom line is we don't know how long he'll be out. Eventually we will know if it's this or something else, but anything is speculation at this point.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>he left the team last night bc of personal reasons and he played the game before.
Its as that, he didnt suffer a new concussion, we shouldnt be speculating anything about how long he is out or his health</div></div>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Talked to Bowen Byram’s dad, Shawn. The defenseman doesn’t have a new concussion but is dealing with lingering issues likely stemming from his past concussion problems.
