Thread: Vancouver Canucks signed Justin Dowling (2 Years / $750,000 AAV)

For a team who had several big contracts for bottom-six players the last few years, this is actually a fourth-liner with a fourth-line contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>boombadoomba</b></div><div>please tell me he will be a healthy scratch over fehervary</div></div>

Yeah, we can hope so. Better to have Irwin being in and out of the pressbox and playing Fehervary big minutes in AHL, if so. (Though I hope Fehervary actually takes a roster spot this year)

Maybe his dad (Rich, D, 631 NHL games) pushed him into becoming a forward to avoid the potential ridicule. :D

Thread: Capitals Future

If Kempny can find the same chemistry with Carlson, as before injuries took its toll, that would be nice. Also hope Caps can find a way to insert both Fehervary and Alexeyev into prominent roles in 21/22.

Thread: Hopeful offseason

I like the your idea of avoiding losing a goalie for nothing. However, I suspect that EDM 2nd round pick might be one that Seattle want as a sweetener for taking Dillon's contract.

While I would hope to have McMichael in a top 6 role for 21/22, I guess we need to take a "hefty" contract (Domi) back for CBJ to take Kuznetsov. Will be interesting to see what happens in the off-season in general and what Kuznetsov's value really is. I fear other GMs won't overpay for someone who plays below his paycheck and seems to have off-ice issues. Also, seeing Caps throw in a lot for Mantha, other teams might figure they can get more when Caps trying to get cap relief for other players. We'll see.

Born and raised in the state of Washington, so if they want a local player for team captain, maybe it could be Oshie. Depending on Capitals' protection list, of course.

When doing ACGM teams for the 2021-22 season (and beyond), it would be great to have Seattle as a team to "Trade with".

Thread: Coyotes without Stepan

Fischer on the first line? Suppose it makes sense if they want to give Hayton a decent linemate and have offense spread over three lines instead of two. Guess his size and hitting is a factor in combination with Garland, but still...

Indeed. Ducks could use a back-up if Miller doesn't re-sign, or will they actually go with Stolarz behind Gibson?

Okay......I expected Capitals to go after one RHD this off-season, but I certainly didn't expect both of Schultz and van Riemsdyk.

Thread: Washington Capitals signed Cameron Schilling (1 Year / $700,000 AAV)

Guess Schilling can be seen as a replacement for Bobby Nardella, who's on loan to SHL (Djurgården) for the remainder of the season.

Thread: Taylor Hall and Loaded Offense

Can't see Sharks accepting that and personally, I wouldn't go for Hall. Especially not for a 2-year deal. Next off-season will be a nightmare as it is, with Ovechkin, Vrana and Samsonov needing new contracts and no depth skaters' contracts expiring to be replaced by younger and cheaper options.

Thread: A bit of retooling

Nice to see someone thinking about a Wild move. Kuzy for a top four D-men and one of their two first round picks is the base of it. Unless Wild choose to keep 8 skaters instead of 3D/7F in the Expansion draft, they need to make a deal so they'll not lose one of the top four defensemen for nothing. Also, from the Wild POV, Kuzy will be good for his countrymen Kaprizov as he enters the league. As a Caps fan, I'm fine with Dubnyk as an experienced back-up for maximum of one season, giving Vanecek more seasoning for a while. (Though Vanecek's one-way part of the contract kicks in next season.)

Thread: Trade with NSH to get 23 man roster

The development of Samsonov and Vanecek is the most crucial part of it all, because it will determine if Holtby has leverage when negotiating a new contract. If Samsonov/Vanecek isn't ready just yet, cap needs to be shedded somewhere else in the roster.

Because he's still a good-enough asset, or because of sentimental reasons?

Thank you for an in-depth view!

At a quick glance, I haven't seen stats that would put Lias in the NHL, but it may also be my mind telling me not to give too much bias to my fellow countrymen. :D

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhavikp27</b></div><div>no way Beaulieu plays LD1. Morrissey, Niku before</div></div>
I figure Morrissey and Byfuglien will anchor one pairing each, so Niku on LD1 and Beaulieu on third pair?
To me, if you call Morrissey/X or X/Byfuglien the first or second pairing doesn't make much difference. Though it will be Morrissey's blueline in the long run...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>We haven't see many posts with those one year contracts. </div></div>
Sorry, in the description, I should have added that I only listed them as 1 year contracts for the purpose of predicting the roster. I assume there will be at least one bridge and long-term deal, if not two long-term deals (if you can shed some cap space).
