Hes more a playmaker than a goal scorer. That said in 51 games Helenius had 14 goals in Liiga. In the same league, at the same age, Slafkovsky had 5 goals in 31.

A reminder... in the summer of 2021, instead of re-signing Vincent Trochek as their #2c, the hurricanes let him walk as a UFA, spending $6million on an offer sheet for Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Trocheck played over 35 minutes tonight and scored the double OT winner. Kk played 9:15 and was a -1 All cause Tom Dundon and Don Waddell were butthurt over the Aho Offer Sheet.

Not trading 5th overall and Xhekaj or Mailloux for a 26 year old 65 point guy.

The hawks didnt move up. Just like the Habs "win" for slafkovsky doesnt count. This doesnt count against the sharks or hawks It only counts if you move up.

Should have had Blue Chew.

100% its not a huge value and Kovacevic is useful.

Or Florida dominated the game but Swayman stood on his head.

Exactly... hes an immature punk for taking life changing money? Makes no sense. Anyone would have taken the contract. I think the immature punk is the person who doesnt understand why a player would make such a decision. I just like seeing it blow up in Dundon/Waddell's face though. I think they deserve the ridicule that their revenge offer sheet failed so badly.

Stars goalie Jake Oettinger has more points than Kotkaniemi in these playoffs

Necas would be due to cap crunch.

Not just them but other players still in CHL playoffs too. I like the Hlinka better for that reason.

Dobber's rankings are for fantasy value only though.

Abandon this thread and start a new one for the second round???

If they are going to blame the current regime for Bergevin's actions, that's on them I guess.

Bason on his podcast with Godin has also linked Martin Necas. I think that's who I'd be after.
