2022-2023 Around The League

[Chiarelli]

Fiala is a one trick pony and a zero goal donkey in the playoffs.
Getting overrated here big time.
Minny gets 2 first round picks in back to back years and they are excellent at drafting.
Clearly they are building around the young guys (Boldy, Rossi, Wallstedt, etc) and Minny will be very good in a few years.

Fiala always scores on the Avs in bunches so getting him away from Minnesota is amazing.

Still though, that is too much money for him IMO.

Sure hope Nichushkin does not command that much

I'll be shocked if Nuke isn't asking for $7m. I don't think he'll get it, but I think that'll be the early demand.

It wouldn't shock me if Seattle are the highest bidders on Nichuskin and offer close to $7m. LeBrun said the want to to big in UFA, and they are high on analytics...

 

[Pokecheque]

Why?

Because they just gave away their second best player for middling futures.

Interesting to note that the Wylde, after years of mediocrity, had their “go for it” season before they entered cap hell for the next three years built around a 1-2 center punch of…Ryan Hartman and Frederick Gaudreau. And they got bounced in the first round.

Would love to see Joe announce a bunch of extensions today after the parade.

They got burned with Gru and Donskoi, not sure they want to go the ex-Avs route again. Teams will soon start to realize that players have inflated stats with us.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Along with Vegas MIN is the team I hate the most but I don't want them to tank...ever. I want them to stay in the middle of the pack forever. Not bad enough to pick up great talent and not good enough to contend.

Tampa is trying to trade Mcdonagh and asked him to lift his NMC.

Tampa Bay Lightning working with Ryan McDonagh to find trade fit

Elliotte Friedman reports that the Tampa Bay Lightning are working with Ryan McDonagh to find a team he'd consider a trade to.

That's a similar situation to what the Avs may face in 2023 or sooner, with having to trade a top 4 LHD for cap reasons.

Just get them all while they're hammered

"Around the league today, the NHLPA contests the signing of Artturi Lehkonen to a seven-year contract with an AAV of $750 000."

Do we even know what was Montgomery's inappropriate conduct?

 

[Metallo]

At first I thought it was an obituary.

IIRC he was drunk quite a few times at the wrong times. Something like that.

He certainly did something while drunk.

Not sure but Bewitched + place of Salem Witch Trials can’t be good.
