Thread: Edmonton Oilers signed Tyler Benson (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)

The "No" votes are probably Tyler and Tyler's agent as they've hoped for a 1-way deal. ;)

Thread: Seattle Kraken signed Michal Kempný (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)

An under the rader TDL pick-up for the Caps cup run, finding good chemistry with Carlson. Sad about his injuries, which derailed his career, but I hope he can stay healthy and challenge for a roster spot. Best of luck to him!

More like 4th string, at least until they trade Brossoit for some additional cap space.

He might be busier than expected on the NHL level, depending on the Ivan Fedotov situation.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kylonetic8</b></div><div>Is Alex squared not ready to play? He's the same age as Fehervary and drafted ahead of him.</div></div>

On June 18th, it was reported that he underwent surgery on his left shoulder and is expected to be miss 4-5 months. He'll probably need some time with Hershey (for conditioning) until he's able to challenge Gustafsson, Irwin and Johansen for that place on the third pairing.

Thread: Calgary Flames signed Oscar Dansk (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)

Several non-Russian KHL goalies taking the step to North America. Olkinuora, Hellberg, Dansk...
Re-signing in Russia would probably do damage to their careers and risk losing any chance to play for the national team. (At least the Swedes, don't know about the "pressure" in Finland)

Thread: Washington Capitals signed Charlie Lindgren (3 Years / $1,100,000 AAV)

Surprised to see a <em>one-way</em> contract over <em>three</em> years for a goalie with such a limited sample-size, but at least the tandem is set. Looking forward to seeing them in action.

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.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>Why Seattle pick Oshie ? Is contract is bad</div></div>

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?
