Lawson Crouse just got a 5 year 4.3m per year contract.

Seems like a huge overpay by Arizona.

Power forwards are a rare breed. They take forever to mature offensively and figure out how to use their power and have a relatively short peak in their late 20s before all the wear and tear catches up to them. But there are a few short productive years there that you just can't acquire very easily and everyone drools over. Think a team like Arizona would be rolling the dice that they have a Jamie Benn 2014-2018 for some duration of this contract with Crouse. Montreal tried the same thing with Josh Anderson. It's not for everyone. The risk is high and the payoff elusive.

Krejci is going to look like Jason Spezza by November.

The first few months without Marchand, MacAvoy, and Grzelyck will be crucial...Bruins are deep at *center, quality D, and excellent goaltending. The Atlantic is not going to be easy with a number of teams becoming much more competitive.

Marchand-*Bergeron-Debrusk
Hall-*Krejci-Pastrnak
*Zacha-*Coyle-Smith
Nosek-*Studnicka-Steen
*Frederic/Foligno

Speedy skilled Lysell - surprise forward to make it out of camp.

Lindholm-McAvoy
Grzelyk-Carlo
Zboril-Clifton
Forbort/Achan

Swayman
Ullmark

Though the Coyotes will play four home games from Oct. 28-Nov. 3 by creating temporary locker rooms in an auxiliary ASU rink, they have 20 of their first 24 on the road to start the season.

Oof.. that will be a tough start to a season.

But a pretty easy last half of the season.

Once they settle into the 5,000-seat arena (37 of their final 58 games are at home),

Poor Bedard.

Coyotes are in a prime tanking position

In any other league a team would be moving if they said ‘We can’t afford to pay our outstanding debts, oh and we’re moving to a college arena.’

And I’m also surprised one of these top prospects hasn’t just said ‘Nope.’, because it’s a slippery slope that leads to them being unable to pay you.

This year’s tank battalion appears to be Arizona, Chicago, Seattle, Montreal and Philadelphia, with possible guest appearances by Buffalo, Anaheim, Jersey and maybe - and just maybe because it’d be hilarious - Winnipeg.

Lindros said nope.
Even said nope before he was drafted.
Kind of worked out better for Quebec / Colorado than it did for Lindros.

Next year when they possibly get Bedard and he possibly gets a chance to play with him that contract might not look too bad. Big maybe but maybe that's what they are hoping for.

I hope the Bruins Bergeron-Krejci project is as successful as the Tuukka Rask reunion tour last year.

Who knows. They basically got them signed to what we paid Engvall. Little risk associated. Plus they can put Marchand and McAvoy on LTIR and they should be fresh playing only half a season at best.
 
'Canes just cleared up $7mm in space for at least 6 months.

Gardiner should be back in line-up but with Pacioretty gone I wonder if they'll add a couple assets and worry about Cap in March 2023?

Maybe now Carolina can take Eichel off VGKs hands

Damn... Vegas is in a tough spot here.
 
They should just run with Thompson and Broissoit

Thompson showed a lot of character last year. If the talent is there.. character cant be taught

Well their only real alternative unless Holtby wants to play is to contact San Jose for one of their 3 goalies.
