Hmmm good point. Could be - they seem pretty dead set on their decision which is a bit weird given the options they have at 2 and a guy like Demidov available.

I think it's an idiom, which is AI's achilles heel.
Most smart analysts I have heard say the decision to go D here is based on how much harder it is to get an elite defenseman, esp down the road on the open market.

My insider source is telling me the Tampa Bay Lightning are moving defensemen Erik Cernak to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Jordan Spence and a pick.

Jusse Saros, 8 year, $7.7 million AAV.
Will be 37 by the time his contract ends. That's quite the commitment.

Gonna be interesting to see how they handle Askarov moving forward. If he ends up wanting out, gotta be all over that
Did not see the saros extension coming. Read rumblings but thought that was to drive up the trade price.
Edmonton media is the most bias trash out there. All propaganda. It's no wonder so many of their fans are entitled douchebags. It is engrained in them via the smut the read or watch.

Not sure how I feel about that Sergachev trade for Utah.
He definitely gives them something they need, and he's locked up, but Geekie looks like he's gonna be great and is probably ready for the NHL very soon.
I guess from Utah's perspective they have a ton of picks/prospects already.
They're going to be good this year, and will make the Western Conference more difficult.

Like most others, Ducks Sennecke pick surprised me. But upon further inspection, the amount of deception in this kids game is INSANE. Had a really strong second half + playoffs. Grew 3 inches recently, and is just starting to use some of these high end tools he's developed. If he hits, this is going to be a grand slam for the Ducks. CBJ's draft table looked pissed after the Ducks grabbed him
Gotta admit I'm jealous of what Pat Verbeek and the Ducks are building.
*Looks over at Rob Blake and sighs*

Gotta respect Verbeek and the Ducks staff.
They clearly have conviction. They do their research and pick the player THEY think is BPA. General consensus be damned.

It will either look like a brilliant pick or it will be like Thomas Hickey for them.

It's a very friendly(casper level)buyout. I don't get it

I'd rather have Stamkos for 6M than whatever Guentzel is going to get.

Good for you, Durzi.

Blake Out of Hell III: Back in to Hell
Awesome for Durzi. Such a likeable player.
Blake dumped a 4x6 contract guy with character. Say what you want about him and his fit on this team, the asset management is horrendous and it's another example of why Blake and Company should be unemployed.

Roy, Walker and Durzi all left while returning less than what they paid for Jeannot.
