For some reason I just remembered that RyJo was diagnosed with heart issues shortly after getting into the NHL. I wonder if it could be related to him looking "lazy" (trying to limit his cardio activity and not pushing his body too far).
When he's not moving much he does look like he gives a f***, like in the bumper position on the PP.

Not Great, Bob!
95 in 01.I'd say Jason Allison should get in on this but he's running a little late.

I still can't believe the Leafs put him and Nik Antropov together as linemates.

If Girard is truly 5'10, I'm an easy 6'1. Ain't no way

To what end? When you say anchor, what is the reason? Salary cap hit? Chance of injury? Quality? Value add? Combination?
When he's on the ice:
+ Does he add value ? Yes.
+ Dead he provide veteran experience ? Yes.
+ Is he a tough player ? Yes.
+ Does he produce ? Yes
+ Is he defensive ? Yes, big time
Etc, etc, etc.
If we were facing a team with him in the d-core in an opposition playoff game, I'd be concerned, because he plays like a monster.
I'm happy to be convinced otherwise, would just love you to elaborate what you mean, by an anchor contract, because (aside from injuries which he cannot help), he adds plenty of value through my eyes.

I wonder what Kadri's new contract would have cost us (not just in the short term, because that's what I think you're looking at , and easy to explain away), but in the longer term. Did you see his production, and the Flames form last season?
We pretty well got Ryjo, Colton and Drouin for the difference between our 2C this year, and Kadri's numbers. Okay , numbers probably a bit off, but you get the idea right ?
In a team that's already top heavy with outrageously amazing talent , being able to deepen the quality depth was paramount, because it's jeopardy running with basically 2-3 lines.
I really think CMac has been outstanding here. If the injury gods are kind to us, we are winning a cup this season, or will be right there at the end fighting for one.
I'd want to sign a top 5-7 dman to as long as term as we can get to keep him an Av as long as possible. Toews will age well.

That's what I thought, except if Mercer has a very solid season he's due a new contract next off-season
It would take a better prospect than Mercer to get Byram.
Stud top pairing Dmen are way harder to find than top 6 forwards.

Makar was 3rd last year so he fell one spot. If only he could stay healthy.
King Connor McDavid continues his reign atop TSN Top 50 NHL Players poll | TSN
It was never in doubt. Edmonton Oilers’ captain Connor McDavid is, for a third consecutive pre-season, the unanimous choice as the player projected to be best in the NHL.

That's surprising as hell. Perhaps there's something off ice we aren't aware of.

Wood getting $2.5m X 6 but passing on Allison at league minimum for free is... a decision
