Around the League

I miss the good ol' days when the GM and coach of the Wings were goalies.

if the Wings can bring in like 10 Goalies then with the whole old boys club thing the NHL has it greatly increases the Wings odds of having that again down the line

maybe that's why Yzerman is bringing so many of them in

I love this. Big brain plays.

It's kind of a long-winded explanation but Perlini talks about "Money on the board" that goes on in every NHL locker room.

Honestly I had no idea that was a thing.

Long winded is an understatement. I couldn't get halfway through it. Do people really think there's value in somebody walking around and rambling instead of sitting behind a desk and thinking about what he's going to say?

Detroit will end up sixth.

Obvious trolling. Ottawa 1st in the division and Montreal as WC.

I keep what I just promised. Ottawa will imposing this year.

No.

 

[ricky0034]

those Atlantic division standings are somehow still more believable than the Metro ones

Carolina/NYR 6th/7th in their own division behind Philadelphia AND Columbus?

You have Ottawa, Montreal, San Jose and Anaheim as playoff teams, which immediately discredits your thoughts on the rankings.

I'll promise for you, that Ullmark is not the same Boston-Ullmark behind that Ottawa defence of flaws, and Korpisalo will have a better season than him at Boston.

 

[Imgoingtowork]

Ullmark are better goalie than Korpisalo because Ullmark are Sweden's best goalie and Korpisalo are Finland's third or fourth best goalie only as everyone knows Saros are Finland's best goalie.

 

[Run the Jewels]

The Athletic ($) has a ranking of goalie prospects. Jesper Wallstedt is ranked #1 with Sebastian Cossa ranked #7 and Trey Augustine ranked #8. Hakan Andersson has famously said he doesn't know how to judge goaltenders, but consensus for that 2021 draft was that Wallstedt was the top goalie available. We obviously traded up to draft Cossa instead.

Hopefully it works out, but it's yet another sign our North American scouting is pretty bad. I give credit to Yzerman and Draper for relying so heavily on our Euro scouting with some of our best draft picks, but if Wallstedt turns out to be a great goalie this one is going to sting.

I'm confident Cossa is closer to Wallstedt then McCollum was to Markstrom....

 

[JoesuffP]

They will both be good goalies in their own way. Cossa’s first AHL season is more impressive than any he’s had in the AHL only he’s been there longer and played some nhl games where he got lit up

Yeahhhh, I don't think the Athletic's rankings are any sign of how good our scouting is. The two guys played in the same league last year. Our guy had a better year

 

[Run the Jewels]

Well, we do have about 20 years worth of data to suggest our Euro scouting is way better than our NA scouting. So there's that.

I was pounding the table for Wallstedt in 2021 but Cossa was the better goalie last season. That goalie list is hot garbage.

It's interesting but crap. Armia and Evans are the new Halak and Ryder in Habs trades.

Now, I'd trade Veleno + Juston Holl for David Savard + a 3rd. That takes care of the 2nd pair RD situation for Detroit and gets rid of Holl's contract.

If nothing else, it adds a proven penalty killer. I'm not aware of anything that either Veleno or Holl does well.
