Schremp Howard posted:I’m shaky on waiver rules, can you trade them later if you claim them waivers? I know buyouts and offer sheets have weird rules, but if you were a basement dweller with cap space it wouldn’t hurt to claim him and give him easy spots to put up points and then flip for a pick at the deadline with 50% retained. CBJ traded Jussi Jokinen to Vancouver as part of the Thomas Vanek deal after claiming him.

Every so often, I go down a KHL scoring stats rabbit hole and there aren't as many interesting names as usual, though I noticed one name I'd typically see missing and found that Nigel Dawes finally bailed out for the DEL, though he's also:quote:the fifth leading scorer in KHL history He was mostly a bottom six guy here but ripped it up in Russia and was 20 points behind Alexander Radulov for fourth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Dawes#Regular_season_and_playoffs

Jamwad Hilder posted:The Devils are a team I've been sort of rooting for the past few seasons because they've got exciting young players and have been bad for a while. In just half a season their fans destroyed all that good will by being annoying online. Which is fine, they should enjoy their team and all that, but I don't like them anymore and I hope they fail. Their "I'm not mad please don't say online I'm mad" schtick the last time the Jackets played them was comical.

Rick Nash out of Columbus can also be a trade for the hit list. E- ThinkTank posted:Both Laine and PLD had signed two year bridge contracts with their old teams as a result of having quietly asked out. For context on the PLD/Laine deal, Roslovic was a throw-in because he wasn't signing in Winnipeg (CBJ got his RFA rights), so the big names were the only ones under contract. And re: Jones, yep. This was around the time JD was rehired; it was believed Jarmo wanted to have Panarin II: Holdout Boogaloo to get him to stay and JD told him no. Jones would only accept trades to Chicago or Dallas. (Seth Jones for Adam Boqvist, Jake Bean, Cole Sillinger, and David Jiricek holy  .)

fawning deference posted:The Athletic on Luke Hughes and Simon Nemec (they are ranking team prospect pools and doing full write-ups on their prospects): quote:Even after graduating Kent Johnson and Cole Sillinger from their pool, the Blue Jackets’ collection of prospects ranks even higher today than it did a year ago thanks to a sterling 2022 draft class.  David Jiricek posted:Jiricek has some extremely desirable attributes, marked by a booming point shot (it’s a bomb, and he does a really good job keeping it on target and a couple of feet off the ice), a strong, athletic 6-foot-3 frame, and a commanding on-ice presence. He’s a staunch man-to-man in-zone defender, he moves his feet well for his size (though I do worry about his stilted backwards skating/pivots and how often he gets caught flatfooted), and thrives in transition with his ability to both close out on gaps (less so than maintain them) with his length and aggression and lead a ton of rushes as an eager puck transporter (he’s a much better skater going forward). Denton Mateychuk posted:Mateychuk has built quite a reputation for himself in hockey circles for his ability to direct play and drive results when he’s on the ice. That style helped him work his way onto Team Canada’s U18 worlds team as an underager and has made him one of the top defensemen in junior hockey in the last two seasons. Those are among the many reasons he was named Moose Jaw’s captain this year and will make him a big part of the 2024 Canadian world junior team in Gothenburg. Metrohellitan.

T-Bone posted:Yeah I think they can actually turn it around reasonably quickly if they get Bedard and Johnson pans out. Probably even if they get one of the other big guys and Johnson pans out. They'd have a young core of Kent Johnson, Cole Sillinger, Kirill Marchenko, Dmitri Voronkov, 2023 1st rounder, and David Jiricek potentially cracking the lineup next year. My concern with Johnson (and Marchenko) is a sophomore slump. Hopefully, Sillinger can pick it back up if they send him to Cleveland in the post-season and that will translate to year 3. If that can happen, one of KJ/Marchy can avoid a slump (Johnson has shown signs of being potentially elite, but there's some fine-tuning to his game still needed; Marchy has been a scoring machine) and they add Jiricek and Bedard (or Fantilli, etc., which seems fairly certain at this point), they could right the ship quickly.
