Not sure who here watches the AHL games... But has anyone stood out with half the AHLers in the NHL?
-
The NHL trade deadline is March 21st.
As of today that's 99 days away.
By then 64 games will be played (35 left to play).
Price, Edmonston and Byron will be back in January... Toffoli will be back by the start of March or late February. Basically we should have a much fuller roster and therefore can actually trade people without calling up Cameron Hillis or Fairbrother lol.
As people have covered... Players with term are more likely to be traded/get a better return in the offseason. Leaving the expiring contracts.
Expiring contracts:
UFA
LD - Ben Chiarot - 3.5M
LD - Brett Kulak - 1.85M
F - Cedrick Paquette - 950k
F - Matthieu Perreault - 950k
RD - Chris Wideman - 750k
RFA
W - Artturri Lehkonen - 2.3M
LD - Sami Niku - 750k
There are more but I figure they have no value ie: Clague, Pezzeta types or and I figure we aren't trading Romanov.
Questions I have:
Has Wideman shown enough to have value for a depth d?
What value does Kulak hold... In particular are there any more analytically minded teams in need of d?
How is Chiarot on his right side?
Would anyone trade a 7th for a Perreault?
What does Lehkonen's RFA + Arbitration rights do to his value?
-
Stumbled on this list. Perhaps the most interesting collection of names I've seen. Does anyone on here know more about some of the Swiss candidates? Perhaps with a highly experience president of hockey ops in Gorton... A more... unexpected... GM could be given the reigns?

Looking at the WSH lineup, and their roster, I figured that it would be nice if we could make this trade:
To WSH: Armia ($3.4M/4y)
To MTL: Eller ($3.5M/2yr) and 2nd round pick in 2022
The Caps get a solid RW that can help them right now while Mantha is out. He is younger than Eller and is signed for 4 years. He will be a good asset for them in the playoffs and help them during the season on the PK and secondary scoring on the odd night
MTL gets off two years of Armia off their books, can send Poehling to Laval to continue developing and if WSH accepts, they get a good pick on the draft.
I feel like we'd be the ones adding the 2nd here...
-
With all the speculation (admittedly from fans not Insiders) about Petry or Savard being moved at the deadline... Is there recent precedent for someone with 4 years left on their deal being moved?
I figure we'd see (if we keep sucking), Chiarot, Lehkonen and Kulak being moved.
-
Don't know if this is the right thread. But do people think Teasdale or Brook get resigned?

From what I’ve seen Primeau will not be an NHL starter. I know he is young but has had enough starts in his career to seriously doubt that.
I do see the point you make. Same could be said for Romy, Norlinder as well.
Lack of pride on this team right now.Yeah if Romanov and Norlinder could go down I'd go for it at this point... Primeau simply isn't NHL ready.
On Primeau.. goalies take time and I don't see the point in hamstringing a 22 year old goalies confidence in the most mentally dependent position in the game.
-
I mean... Do we need Caufield and Primeau out here experiencing this shit?
-
What a lineup yikes

Fucale getting a NHL start. Been quite the journey.

With the current management, you're absolutely right. But if it's someone different at the helm, one that would be more willing to move someone like Gallagher (with their history, he'd probably want out if Subban returned), there'd be a small chance at least.
What's the Gallagher/Subban history?
-
Not a trade proposal but more of a FA proposal/discussion?
With Chiarot, Kulak, Wideman and Niku UFA's next season....
Anyone rumors of a Subban return on the right side may be in the cards?Depth puckmoving right shot d? What do people think his $$$ will be?
-
Do we think bergy is looking to fill 3C or try and fix the D situation via trade?
Only forwards I see moving would be Lehkonen or maybe Armia...
On defense given the term we have on guys maybe he trades for a pending UFA? Flips Kulak or something for one since the team never has trusted him?
Any of these names inspiring?
Det: Leddy, DeKeyser
Buff: Butcher, Miller, Hagg
Nashville: Boroweicki
Columbus: Kukan
NJ: Subban lol

Way to go Gally to draw a penalty.
Hopefully their PP does something.
Oh wow, Marner just got a penalty. 5 on 3 time.
Not sure why the 5 on 3 play is Petry slappers

I'm not sure any regular defenceman had a particularly good preseason and in Chiarot's case, I think he spent time on his off-side as well. Not ideal but I'm not too worried yet.
Now that you mention it he was playing his offside in the bit I watched.
Okay... I'm generally just worried about Chiarot and Savard being too slow. Perhaps a bit of confirmation bias haha.
-
From the preseason segments I've seen... I'm concerned about Chiarot losing a step. Saw him chasing in the defensive zone... Did I just catch a few bad plays or does he look rough to other folks?

I was doing a dive into Christan Dvorak and I'm curious if I should be concerned. Looking at Corey Sznajder's 5 on 5 offense advance stats... Dvorak was the worst forward on Arizona in terms of creating shots on the forecheck or on the rush. He was also the worst on the team in terms of shots per and primary assist pass per 60.
In terms of league wide his numbers in these areas are awful but a lot of that is due to Arizona being terrible... however being worst on his team doesn't look good. Are there explanations for these stats?
