Maybe but some teams are willing to take that risk if they feel like they're that close.
Meh. I feel Vegas exposed multiple Florida problems, from scoring depth up front to smart defense on the backend. Now perhaps the two are correlated and what Karlsson brings helps the forwards and allows the defense to not have to be so aggressive, but he also could very well magnify each problem as well. Merely replacing montour for him while also losing young forwards ultimately puts too much pressure on Lundell to evolve into an upper-level top 6 player.
Still have hope that Okhotyuk can be a decent #5-6 dman as well once he's healthy again.
Huge win for us. Let NJ and their fans have the headaches that Meier will bring them now.
don't forget Fabian Zetterlund!
High potential to help the barracuda!don't forget Fabian Zetterlund!
i remember jersey fans telling us he has high potential
Maybe Lemieux defined "serious" as "starting at the QO and working upwards"?
IMO serious is anything matching Hertl's contract... I always assumed that would be the sharks take-it-or-leave-it offer knowing Timo would decline
I’ve been thinking that Detroit makes some sense. Not sure where they are in their timeline in contending again. Would think they’d maybe make more sense at the deadline when they know for sure they’re going for it. Could be completely off though. 9th plus they hold three 2nd rd picks in this years draft. What about 17th OA plus the 41st and 42nd pick? I mean, you’re walking into day 1 of the draft with three picks in the first and the same on day 2. Not too shabby even if you retain quite a bit.
EK’s not waiving his NMC for Detroit. I seriously doubt Yzerman would put 9th overall on the table for a 32 year old dman either. Wings are still a terrible team that got worse at the deadline.
