Simplex posted:Yeah, I think the Avs should be looking at guys like Mittelstadt, Frost and maybe Zegras, and I imagine the Rangers would be in s similar boat. I don't get the point anymore of giving up good assets for an expiring UFA if you are trying to make a playoff push. Zegras is weird. Clearly talented and looked like hot poo poo a few years ago but between regression and injuries has also clearly been passed by other players on the Ducks. I'm lead to believe he doesn't do defense at all but I'd guess every team is also thinking if they could just develop him a bit then he could be a talented 2nd line center or so Or he could be a turnover machine who's offense never makes up for the total lack of defense e: but I can't imagine the ducks want to let him go for cheap either

Hard to believe it will have been 12 years between Olympics appearances. I remember getting so excited for the 1998 Olympics, as a kid.

Starsfan posted:Stars are in a weird position with their prospects where they have like 3 bluechip can't miss types that the team is never going to trade away for a rental and then a bunch of chaff that are unlikely to ever make the NHL as regular players and probably nobody would rate as a major component of a trade. Their NHL roster is likewise either untouchables or overpaid veterans who would only be suitable as add-ons to make the salary balance out. They have Ty Dellandrea and Nils Lundkvist as young marginal players but stocks on both are so low based on their play. If Suter doesn't play 23 mins a night in the playoffs DeBoer will be sad

Simplex posted:I think he's pretty overrated, however if you are going to get raked over the coals for a second line center you might as well go for one who has some upside, and is at least somewhat cost-controlled. I mean he's scored 61 and 65 points before getting injured and dealing with that this year along with the other stuff but yeah I think the point would be to look at him not as a shoe in top flight #1 but a flawed 2C you hope you can hammer some defensive responsibility into and knock out some of the worst turnovers e: he's still only 22 so it's also completely conceivable he could be a 80 something point player if he stayed healthy and got the opportunity on a good team with good linemates and ran with it

I just can't bring myself to remotely care about hockey players when they're not playing hockey and that includes what they wear. I have no fashion sense either. Please skate fast and put the puck in the net.

Zegras is the only player from his draft class with multiple 60+ point years although to be fair, Jack Hughes would be there already too if it wasn't for injuries. He's in his 4th season already too. He's probably not a 1C like people thought he might be, but he's only 22, and he's very talented. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I see people say they think he's overrated and wouldn't want him on their team. It's not like he's even that expensive, his upcoming contract is $5.75M/yr through 2026, and he'll still be a RFA at the end. Also I don't understand the obsession with "he doesn't play defense" that lots of NHL fans seem to have. Who loving cares? He puts the puck in the net more than like 75% of NHLers. Let the rest of the team play defense.

drat, only a few hours after the Olympics announcement and someone has already staked out the worst possible version of a team Canada roster: https://thehockeywriters.com/canada-projected-roster-olympics-2026/ I'm no expert, but I know any presumptive favourite team needs Pierre-Luc Dubois and Logan Thompson on it, and DEFINITELY needs Chychrun in the top 4.

By 2026 some of the guys who would definitely be on the team at forward will probably be too old. Marchand would be 37, Stamkos 36, Crosby 38, etc. Crosby will definitely still be on the team though. Similarly, Doughty and Pietrangelo probably age out too. I'd probably have Noah Dobson somewhere on the blue line though. Hard to fault them for Logan Thompson though. Canada has fuckin nothing in the pipeline at net. Maybe like, Adin Hill, Connor Ingram, and Stuart Skinner is better? Jordan Binnington? It's a real trash heap. Canada is probably still the team to beat but I think the US will have better defense and they'll definitely have better goaltending.

You just know that Bettman’s going to be one of those miserable old liches that sticks around far too long making GBS threads up the world while good people die young. Dude’s going to live to 99 still lying to journalist’s faces with his smarmy-rear end expression permanently stuck on

I feel like it’ll be a position that changes drastically in the next few years, just because I expect a lot of fluctuation in terms of performance.

Weren't the NHL players allowed to take place in Winter Olympics that happened in China and then COVID hit? Anyway about time these idiots allowed the best players in the world to take part in an international tournament that people actually cared about (unlike their failed world Cup)

I'm pretty sure the US could roll out 4 goalies who'd be the starter for Canada (Hellebuyck, Oettinger, Demko, Swayman)

Canadian talking heads ask about the Olympics all the time and there have been suggestions for the last year or so that a deal was close, so this isn't really out of left field if you've been paying attention (which to be clear, you should not, but sometimes I'm too lazy to get up and do something else during the intermission).

They wouldn't have with that goaltending, anways.

I’m surprised they announced 2030 considering the labor agreement runs through the 2026 season. I figured they’d give one year and then hold it over the players heads for 2030 to squeeze more money from them.

Bettman is a weasel, but he also more or less said that the four NHL players that are being charged won't be in the NHL until the legal process is resolved.

You are right, but I meant that there may be guys we aren’t thinking about that just appear out of nowhere. Admin Hill feels like a name that’s only recently been appearing, because he’s never played that many games. Basically, I’m saying is the starter will be Chris Dreidger.
