not make sense that we still go after Eichel after we draft our 2 Centers for the future with Zegras and McTavish...
only way I see that we trade one of them away in a package for Eichel....

We have a decent amount of prospects but if we can't develop them what use is it? Is Ritchie what we've thought he would become? Etem? Or more recently Steel? Terry? Jones? They're still young but I think we all wanted more at this point in time. When you say top 5 I don't know whether the kings, rangers, avs, canes (although they lost Bean), wings, sens agree.
Granted we have a lot of pieces who may turn out great or good (Zegras, Drysdale, Dostal, McTavish, Groulx, Perreault) but it's too early to tell.
we are 4th, Wings 2nd, LAK unfortunately at first, OTS 3rd if you go with this ranking:
I know, its only one ranking, but I can't find an other prospect pool which was made after the Draft at this moment. even if we are 2-3 spots too high or so, still a good and promising future.

Bob Murray is the worst GM in the league and a blackeye for this franchise.
BS. he did not make bad moves like Philly or Botteril from Sabres. sometimes is do nothing the better move...
in the important moments we had bad injuries (Lydman, Eaves)... especially Lydman was a bad injury and costed us game 7 against Detroit. Eaves were a good move, we were in contending mode, the outcome was horrible because he played 1-2 games too much in the playoffs. the Theodore move at ED VGK I would make again at this point we were then. the most of us celebrated that move then... we are in rebuild and now we have one of the best 5 prospect pools of the whole season, better then longtime rebuild team Buffalo...
-
how bad was the ED Seattle? without any add. picks or side deals.... can't believe they take all players they really wanted...
I know the teams learned from VGK, but 0 picks or side deals and they pick so horrible?! fireRonFrancis....

hope for Seattle they have a lot of side deals, if not, they are a weak team and fight with us for the first overall 2022
-
hoped they take a veteran...

sad we lose Fleury
-
Seattle... oh we have competiton for the first overall next season....
-
what are they doing? they could have a very strong team
-
no side deals?
-
Landeskog exposed is maybe the biggest surprise

brutal was it for Rakell this year, out after 1. round (over 80 years ago SWE not go home after round 1) and then he took a hit in the face too...

Congratulations to Adam Henrique and Max Comcois for winning Wolrd Championship. Great contribution to team Canada,
Comcois for winning Wolrd Championship:)
I am happy for this 2 guys, who scored in the important games. but Canada is a really undeserved world champion, maybe the most undeserved WC I ever seen. almost done after the preliminary round (if Kazakhstan makes a point vs Norway or Latvia vs Germany 2:2, they would be out), and at least 2 of the 3 playoff games the weaker team.
Finland impressed me, again without super stars (only 2 NHL-players) after 2019 they again in the final. not the most attractive game they played, but effectively and without many mistakes. tactical the best team. Kazakhstan is the surprise of this year, almost reached the quarter finals...
-
why everybody wants BM out? what are your points? Fowlers contract? okay its a very bad contract yes. sign Shatt and think we are a playoff team, maybe too hopefull, but if Steel, Jones, Lundestrom would make a step, why not... only Comtois and Terry made a step forward from the youngs.
handling with Henrique I think was a good move waive him to shuttle the team, and Henrique played better after that, almost no risk that an other team take that contract. the Theodore move was nice, we were in the contender window and not wanted to lose Vatanen/Manson. could be why he still stick with Larsson, he may afraid to trade again a young defender...
don't forget the trades he made are at most good trades, especially this season (Hutton, Fleury). the Kase and Montour trade were good moves. Kesler was a good move, Eaves was an unhappy move.
first I was angry why he not traded away some vets, but the draft class 2021 is like a lottery, better to take draft picks for 2022. but he did a lot good things, some bad things in 13 years, but that is business and every GM makes weak moves..

Like the one Vodka Bob made costing us Theodore? Not a chance. Expose the players and Seattle has to take one from every team. The less Vodka negotiates the better.
at this moment when we made it, is an okay move, I saw it as a win deal then and I am still okay with that. Of course its hard to see Theo that good now, but look Karlsson, nothing in Anaheim, nothing in Columbus and then over 70 points in Vegas.. you were contender and don't want lose Vatanen or Manson for nothing, the team was build to win and Theo was that good till then.

I heard the "crash the pond" podcast and they said an interesting thing: let expose Fowler because his very bad contract. I am right with that, so go with 7/3:
Gibson
Lindholm, Fowler, Fleury
Rakell, Terry, Lundestrom, Steel, Jones, Silfverberg and Volkov.
let expose Henrique, Fowler, Shatt with bad contracts.

I would protect:
Rakell, Terry, Lundestrom, Volkov
Lindholm, Manson, Fluery, Mahura
Gibson
Protecting Rakell and Manson primarily for their trade value. Fowler is playing better, but his contract is too rich at $6.5 MM/yr for the next 5 years with a NTC. I don't see the Ducks as a Cup contender for at least another 4 years, by which time Cam will be 33. I think Mahura will be a better player than Fowler by then, and cost a lot less.
If those were the protected players, who do you think Seattle would take? What's your protect list?
I always thought the 7/3/1 would be better because you can protect 2 more players...
but if I look at our defense... Lindholm, Fowler, Manson and Fleury I would protect. Offense is way too harder, Terry and Rakell are fix. Is Mahura really that good? maybe go with 5 defenders.... Volkov I don't would protect, I like more Milano (had good numbers but few games), Lundestrom and I think Silfy has the best trade value from the rest.
then Seattle would choose between Henrique, Shattenkirk, Stolarz, Volkov, Mahura, Jones, Steel, Milano/Silfverberg.
its difficult to say who they would take... I don't know the other teams available goalies, (they have to take 2 or 3 goalies?) but Stolarz would be a good fit for them and I would be okay with that.
-
earlier we have to make a deal with Seattle, hope BM not makes a mistake there. because if not, I think guys like Fleury or Mahura Seattle picks... if they want Stolarz, let him go, if would be my dream scenario. we have our starting goalie plus 2 prospects. and backup goalies you can have in every FA market... he is in the same age as Gibson and he doesn't hurt us really much, even he plays well.
we don't have to rebuild the whole team from the drafts. maybe also 1-3 good UFA signings would help.

it's a bigger deal for New Jersey to stay ahead of the Ducks since moving up to the 3rd worst record would push the Ducks from the 2nd to 4th best position for the lottery and the subsequent rounds of the draft.
ok Buffalo is gone after this win. but now let the Devils ahead of us... not win more then 2 points against Devils in the last 2 games!

nice signing, I thought both will have 1-1.5 mio... Comtois 3 and Jones 1 mio. then 2 defenders from Minors and the team is build with 11-12 Mio cap space to make a move as Arizona did it, take 2 bad contracts for picks.
