Slaf was a beast last night. He was dominant along the boards and made a few elite passes. Once his shot gets up to speed we'll have ourselves a full blown power forward!
Allen's deal did look bad before it kicked in, I hope Kent doesn't have more of those. Considering his poor numbers, I don't think there was ever more value available than a 3rd, which isn't much but is better than a 'nothing' pick. If anything, I think this deal is more the case of Jersey 'caving' than us.
Does Kent have another deal in him? I personally would be surprised if Savard got moved given his leadership role to our young defenders. Armia, Pearson and Allen might not be movable.
Around the league, Byram seems like a huge pick up in the division if he can stay healthy.
I love it. He certainly has more skill than the last Finnish centre we drafted.
I don't get why Demidov is rated so high, it looks like no one is trying in the league he plays in.
Iginla might be a bit of a reach in the top 7 but he's another guy I could talk myself into.
Slaf is having a whale of a game all over the ice. Crisp passes, using his size, winning and maintaining possession. And he still has so much room to grow!
