Impressive. Very nice. But what are the cap implications of that roster?

Well lundestrom and Gibson @50% is 4.7ish

 

[dahrougem2]

Lundestrom is a 4th line player

Yeah but he’s a Swede, so he’s perfect

Kuraly should be available at the deadline, and would finally be the answer to the 4C problem

Unless Ivan falls off a cliff they got the answer at 4C. They need to try for a 3C.

What's articifial in sport is being able to buy a championship. It has nothing to do with their capacity at drafting, developing and building a team.

Have a league with only a handful of teams then and quit pretending it's anything else. Right now there are 4 or 5 orgs and the rest are just their farm teams. Dodgers have an $8 billion TV deal. Good luck, Pirates.

but the Pirates have Skenes though

As much as I love Ivan, there's no guarantee that he won't burn out halfway through the season. It took LOC a couple years to figure out his conditioning

Ivan should not burn out playing 7-10 minutes on the 4th line.

LOC had problems when he was moved up from the 4th line for an extended period of time. He is now OK on the 3rd line.

He should, except this is the Ambulanche, and he's already playing on the top line because of injuries, so...

It’s not just the ice time, it’s the grind. The practices, the workouts, the travel, etc. combined with a much higher pace of game.

Most newly turned pros haven’t played for 7-9 months straight at any point of their life. It takes a toll on them mentally and physically until they get used to it.

Regardless, I don’t see 4C as a huge issue. 3C presents itself as a bigger problem unless the Avs decide to put Colton back there…assuming the Avs even have a relatively healthy top six.

I would rather have Tufte back than those guys.

 

[John Mandalorian]

I want Gillian Anderson.

...as Margaret Thatcher?
