The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Granlund for three years at $7 mill per, to Anaheim. Seems like a good deal to me, mostly because the term is not insane. Oh well. Quote
GHT120 Posted July 2 Posted July 2 AAV and term both seem very reasonable ... Guess Laine wasn't the attraction some of us had hoped. Quote

Im not convinced Hughes even tendered an offer - partially based on his presser yesterday. I think Hughes wants a 22-24 year old Quote

GHT120 Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Is Dufus trying to force Crosby to request a trade? Or has Sid told him he wants the chance to mentor Gavin McKenna?

DON Posted July 3 Posted July 3 30 kids 6'4" or taller taken in 1st 3 rounds. Seems more jumbo kids than usual. Quote

It would be interesting to take a look at the big kids' success rates vs the smaller ones in a few years--are they actually more successful, or not? Quote

Great research question. For somebody, LOL. Size helps and you can only go so far as a team of “Smurfs” (remember 2010?) but I continue to think it is way overrated as an indicator of individual player success. Maybe I’m wrong. Quote

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Interesting that Ehlers hasn't signed yet. You would think he wants to go to a contender that obviously must have cap room. Carolina fits the bill, so does Winnipeg. I thought the Leafs would take a run at him to replace Marner but they would have to do some juggling to have enough cap room. Quote

From all the "talk" the last place he wants to go is under the TO microscope ... same for Montreal Quote

I don't think with Ehlers that it's all about the money. Quote

There are no real UFA options remaining, so "screw it" now means either standing pat or giving up a fair bit in terms of assets to trade for someone comparable. Quote

That is correct, a team might just decide to stand pat instead and save the cap room for the trade deadline. I know Commandant has mentioned Roslovic before. I wonder if the fact he is unsigned means a lack of interest or he is asking too much. I think he would be a marginal upgrade but maybe on a 1 year deal? Quote

Bigger kids are given a much longer leash, especially with a higher draft pedigree. McCarron's a perfect example. Draft picks in the first couple of rounds whose height starts with a 5 better be pretty special. Which is kind of funny, point me to that long list of successful 6'5" NHLers vs a 5'10" player, even in the modern era. Quote

With Winnipeg signing Nyquist, I wonder if they think they might be out. I'd add Washington to the mix for Ehlers as well. Quote
