Thread: Rookie Camp thoughts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>First of all, im embarrassed for you. You just used reading comprehension in the wrong context, but go off man.

it's a model, not a 100% accurate predictor of a teams success. Dom has said this multiple times. The covid runs were great for an older and slower team like the isles due to shortened season + the break before the bubble.

What he said regarding the teams current cap structure is recent and it is correct. The islanders have a ton of overpaid forwards that fail to live up to their cap hits. The isles need their younger players to fill more top 6 roles because he's factoring in that Palmieri , JG Pageau and Bailey will be 4th line caliber within 2 years , if not by next by season</div></div>

He finally admitted analytics weren’t perfect. At least the ones at the athletic.

Thread: After jack hans article

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UBS_ARENA</b></div><div>1st mayfield is a lot better than hakanpaa. 2nd maybe they go for an offensive dman and mayfield gets moved somewhere else but thats the going rate for players like him and dallas does need a RD2 thats why i picked them.</div></div>

Mayfield is better than Hakanpaa but I don’t think it’s a massive difference. Not enough of a difference for those picks. I realize Chairot and Savard got returns like that, but those were over pays imo. If somebody wants to pay that much for Mayfield (and it isn’t Dallas) I will be happy for the Isles as I do like the team and most Isles fans are pretty solid to talk to, yourself included. I understand your thought process on 2RD. I just don’t care for the trade. I don’t think Dallas is good enough to be trading first or even second round picks. Obviously need to see how things go under DeBoer, but I’d be very surprised if the need on the back end wasn’t for an offensive dman

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Give me a break, Holmstrom, Bailey and Bolduc are a waste. Dallas 1st will be a Mid-Teen 2023 1st round pick and Toronto's late. Yeah like i said any team going after Meier would blow away that offer.</div></div>

No I don’t think so look at the offer Debrincat got and Chicago was actively moving him and that was the best deal they had for him on the table and Fiala got traded for even less young top line players are getting traded for alot less and I’m sure Meier wants to compete soon so they’re going to have to look to trade him soon

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UBS_ARENA</b></div><div>Having both johnston and stankoven in the top 6 playing big important minutes in their D+3 years is ambitious.</div></div>

Agreed, but they also have little to no money left. Five to six million or so, and imo finding a good D-man is of higher importance, especially if Miller or Suter declines.

Thread: The name challenge thing

Technically, J.T. Miller doesn't count, since I said "as it appears in the CF database." If we ignore that, you have one of, if not the best team. I'd be inclined to prefer a Connor line to your first line.

That's 100% fair - but I was responding to "If you were in charge you would have been sacked so fast."

Which would be on the basis that the Nylander trade and all of this went through.

Dear Leafs Fans,
The Wild have 6 D and just traded away Kulikov for nothing to free up a roster spot for Addison. They're not taking on Holl for free, let alone paying for him. Stop being lazy and find a team that actually could use him.

Sincerely,
Every Wild fan

love seeing knowledgable fans put their thoughts out there for everyone to discuss. everyone seems excited for eklund so i hope its a good season for him. been cheering for san jose for a long time and its sad to see them head into this strange phase where they should probably rebuild.

you dont think labanc will play 2RW? kunin also has the ability to play up the lines

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UBS_ARENA</b></div><div>Disagree isles probably take this. Given his waiver exempt status he could be sent down this year and could be a cheap backup next season if they pay top money to a star forward. If he doesnt pan out its just a 5th.
I would accept this deal.</div></div>

agreed. Varly walks after this year and I would be happy giving Sorokin the vast majority (60ish) starts by 2023-24. Jakub Skarek has put up mediocre AHL numbers, Ken Appleby is a little bit of a journeyman (but I like him!), and Tristan Lennox is a couple years away. Getting another guy to throw in the mix as a $1Mish backup after Varlamov would definitely be worth a 5th to me.
