Around the NHL 2023-24 - offseason part II

[Its Always Sundstrom]

2025 4 Nations Face-Off initial rosters loaded with best NHL has to offer

Would Jack and Bratt be in the mix for their respective rosters?

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Why no Jack Hughes.

 

[Devils731]

Why no Jack Hughes.

It was only 6 guys per team. He will be on the full roster.

Red Wings having a “huh?” Offseason. There is some chance they paid someone to take a better value defenseman.

Never ceases to amaze me how teams will always line up to bail the Rangers out of their bad decisions.

They seem to have a “Huh?” offseason the last three.

They usually splurge on a bad UFA signing or two, but picking up Trouba would be on par with that.

Rangers are definitely going to trade off Trouba. Will probably need to retain a bit. If I were them I then use that cap space to sign Matt Roy.

Imagine if he signs there and they miss the playoffs somehow due to the postseason games + their style catching up to them after the past 2 years, guy would be so cursed lmao

Why the hell did Vegas trade Logan Thompson for only a 2nd and a 3rd or whatever it was? Why not just keep him? Now they're (probably) going to sign someone to be the backup and he's gonna cost even more.

Unless it's Patera or some goalie in their system, who probably hardly costs less than Thompson.

I just thought they'd keep him until they had to pay him more, unless they got a really good offer they couldn't refuse. He's getting paid under a million through the end of this coming year. I'm guessing he's probably a UFA next year? Why not just keep him and let him walk? He's a bargain on their cap.

And I'm not even at all high on him.

They just got a really good goalie to replace him I heard.

Who? Is it possible I'm that far behind today?

 

[TrufleShufle]

Schmid.

He means Schmid hah

 

[Bleedred]

Schmid.

Ahh, I was slow on that one. Not sure if a senior moment or what.

Now I wonder if he’ll be their backup or at least fight it out with Patera for the backup job.

I’m not even sure if Patera is still with them or looking to sign in Europe. I just know he’s played some games for them when Thompson/Hill have been injured the last two years, which is a very common occurrence over there.

But I still thought logically they’d rather keep one more year of Thompson at damn near league minimum than role the dice on Schmid or Patera at roughly the same price.

Friedman said that Toronto is going to offer Tanev 6 years lmao

dude turns 35 halfway through the season

This seems to be the new thing with older guys. Tampa is apparently doing it as well.

It can't be as appealing for players because if they retire, they lose it and if they don't, they risk becoming buy outs and not seeing it all.

We all joke about the ltiretirement, but if you start getting froggy with that and those really start exploding, that's going to be a problem with insurance companies, which would be a whole new thing

I read that his wife still has a year in her residency in regards to med school stuff, it could be that. If it doesn't get done by tomorrow, it also throws a massive wrench into the Rags 7/1 plan because they need to waive Trouba on that day and need to wait a whole day to see if he gets claimed to get that cap space. It's a very bad game of chicken for NYR rn

They probably have nothing to lose at this point, if it brings down the AAV, it's probably smart. Tavares is off the books after next year too

Sergachev was traded? Whaaat?

I completely missed that yesterday. What a steal for Utah. He’s probably more valuable than Hedman at this point. One of the very best D in the league. Can skate, hit, close on the fastest and most dynamic forwards one on one, maintains perfect gaps. Wish it had been us who got him. This one move would have set us up legitimately to contend for a cup.
