Shane Lambert is a really off the board pick, I wonder how he’ll turn out? :p

Also I’m going to take a minute to appreciate how great of a name William von Barnekow Løfberg is.

Savard took less to sign in Montréal. So you wouldn’t be able to afford him.

Thread: 2021 offseason talks thread

So Buffalo signed Craig Anderson and Aaron Dell. The Sabres are really trying to have the cheapest goalie tandem possible at $1.5 million combined. There are currently 40 NHL goalies being paid more than both of Buffalo’s goalies combined. Montréal is spending nearly 9 times as much on goalies than Buffalo is.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oyogeo</b></div><div>why not? they signed a ton of wingers and only so much playing time to go around. they would not trade Gallagher, Anderson, Hoffman, Caufield, or Armia, and who knows about Drouin.
They sat KK during playoffs and now he is supposed to be their new number 2?

Toffoli is worth more which is why a second going back.</div></div>

You realize that Toffoli was on pace for 44 goals this year, right?

Thread: Just for fun

Seattle isn’t trading Fleury, and Washington isn’t trading anything close to that for Vanecek. That’s steeper than Seattle’s original ask to protect him.

Well I doubt they’re going to trade him, and it takes a week for an offer sheet to go through, so you should be good.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FOXHOLEBOY</b></div><div>Simply put we dont have Left handed forwards who score. Our PP1 last year was Toffolo, suzuki, caufield, petry, shea/perry (all Right handed) That takes options away from you on the PP. getting a natural sniper like this is awesome for us.

Also hope we sign perry, i just feel perry willl feel slanted getting a min deal after his stellar year.</div></div>

Perry shouldn’t cost that much, but he would be 10th on the depth chart for wingers, so I don’t see it being likely that he’s back.

Yeah, and if this team can produce enough at the most important time of the year, I trust them to produce during the other parts of the year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ColonelX</b></div><div>People remember Tatar isn't coming back right? They also remember we weren't a offensive force of nature right? So why the **** is everytime complaining about us adding a goalscorer?!
Center is another question but we needed to replace Tatar offensive output and that wasn't gonna get done by playing Byron on the second line.</div></div>

In the playoffs Tatar produced 1 assist, and that worked out pretty well. Byron and Lehkonen were already penciled in on the 4th line before this signing.

So the PP is looking like:

Gallagher
Caufield - Toffoli - Suzuki
Petry

Anderson
Kotkaniemi - Armia - Hoffman
Drouin

This also makes it very unlikely that Perry returns, which is sad.

Forum: NHL Signings19 hours ago

Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Mike Hoffman (3 Years / $4,500,000 AAV)

I really don’t like this. Montréal really, really needs a C and a RHD, so I have no idea why they’re putting so much money towards a one-dimensional winger. By playing Hoffman we’re having to scratch a pretty good player (like Byron or Lehkonen), so that makes this even worse. I really hope we can land someone like Dvorak or Suter, because otherwise our C spot is looking really rough.

Thread: Los Angeles Kings signed Phillip Danault (6 Years / $5,500,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenericUsername489</b></div><div>Phil Danault was a 2C playing a matchup. Anthony Cirelli was also 2C on his ELC, 2019/2020. Won the Cup at age 23 playing shutdown 20 mins per night, slightly better offensively, slightly worse defensively. His following contract was 5.89% and is still an RFA at the end. Danault at age 28 signs for 6.75% of the cap after losing in the Cup finals at age 28 and signs into his mid 30s where the contract is more likely to get worse.</div></div>

Cirelli got less because he signed in Tampa Bay (where everyone takes less) and had no leverage at all. No arbitration and no other teams that he can sign with, and playing on a team extremely tight to the cap. So of course he’s going to get underpaid.
