Around the League 2021-22 Part 2

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Last 32 thoughts podcast explained it well. It's to prevent teams from signing players solely for the playoffs essentially.

This one also almost completely screwed the Flames a few years back. They offer sheeted O'Reilly during the lockout year not realizing it applied to them and had Colorado not matched would've almost certainly lost him to Columbus(or whoever had first dibs) for nothing.

That one would be hilarious, except for Calgary

I knew Verbeek looked like some other hockey person and it’s Rick Bowness

If the season were an extra 5-10 games, the Islanders would probably make the playoffs. It's crazy how close they may ultimately come after getting off to the start they did and the adversity that they faced.

Dadonov would have been very useful....

 

[dracom]

Dadonov with the OT winner for vegas. really wish we could have grabbed him oh well

Jack Hughes is exploding. I hope we see a similar jump with Zegras next season.

Edmonton v Calgary is fun.

Edmonton v Calgary is fun.

They might win by 3+ goals and Sutter is gonna be furious.

I give it the caveat that they've been playing a tougher schedule than we have recently, but it amuses me that even after shipping the impact players that we did out of town at the deadline that the Ducks still look eons better than the Wings do.

I've never understood the love they've been given the last year or so. They've probably exceeded expectations but that's still a bad roster and no one ever seems to point it out. Yzerman's a great GM and this isn't even necessarily a huge failure of his but there's definitely a double standard when it comes to how his teams are viewed vs others IMO.

Jack Hughes 2 goals in 2 periods... dude is a superstar.

Hoping for a similar jump with Zegras next season...

NHL, general managers hold in-person meetings for first time since 2020

NHL general managers met in person Monday for the first time in more than two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic to discuss the state of the game and learn about inclusion principles and training programs the League has been implementing.

www.nhl.com

"The GMs could also have a discussion with the NHL about potentially extending the salary cap into the Stanley Cup Playoffs, what that might look like and the impact it would have. There is currently no salary cap in the playoffs."​

Just have everyone available (no cap for the overall roster) but require the players who are dressed for the game on any given night to fit under the cap. That should prevent most shenanigans.

The only thing I wonder is how you deal with guys acquired at the deadline but it does sound like it's trending in that direction.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

That is really sad about Melnyk, same age as my dad. Month after his parents country was invaded and before he could see the Senators become contenders again.

He was starting to become a decent owner imo and has let the GMs and scouting staff run the team and even when he was cheap at least he wasn't having his GM overpaying players like the other Canadian teams (Canucks, Leafs, Oilers etc). It seems like they'll open the wallet for the right players and not throw it away on a depth players or borderline stars.

Dahlin has 150 points as a dman and he’s still only 21 years old. Crazy how good he is.
