Would he go to Carolina? Seems like a perfect fit, but is that a good idea? I'd be sort of into it.
Sutter roles out Nick Ritchie as his third shooter with the Flames season in the balance.

Kind of a weird take. Sutter had Andersson who was 2 for 4 this season and Toffoli who was 1 for 2, but he went with Ritchie and Backlund. Ritchie was 2 for 5 in his career which is better than most of their roster funny enough, but Backlund is 1 for 12 in his career. Almost better off going with someone young like Dube who has more skill.

Both teams had the same odds for Crosby. They've had their time; now the Pens and Caps need to step aside.

Carolina Hurricanes sign college free agent Yaniv Perets to entry-level deal | TSN
The Carolina Hurricanes signed college free agent goaltender Yaniv Perets to a two-year, entry-level deal on Tuesday.

I was kind of hoping the Sabres might sign Levi's homeboy as a replacement for Portillo in the pipeline.
For those that don't know, Levi and Perets grew up in the same hometown and they most recently played together in Bantam AAA:

Perets was a year older than Levi and they seem to have both come up through the Lac St-Louis Lions organization (Elite Prospects only goes back to Bantam AAA and both Levi and Perets played for the Lions in Bantam and Midget before jumping to Jr A).

I find it interesting that Portillo has a new set of Bauer gloves and pads and new sticks in the color scheme of a team he signed with two days ago.

I think three major factors that are driving the increase in scoring.
The first is the focus on skills development at all levels of the game. You see more and more young players entering the game with elite level offensive skills. And you see veterans working more on skills in the off season when the focus used to be mostly on strength and conditioning.

The second factor has been GMs changing how they build rosters. Gone are the 6 shift a night fighters and you see more and more teams with 3rd lines that can really score when it used to be that teams really only had two scoring lines, a checking line, and an energy line.
The third factor is how analytics and the idea of the royal road and shot quality have changed how teams attack offensively to be more efficient.
I don't think goaltending is worse as much as it is the cat and mouse game between goalies and shooters swinging back more towards the shooters with the changes that have taken place throughout the game.

buddy is goaltending coach who worked with usntdp, get a couple cheap beers into him and he'll go into quite the rant how they've been teaching goalies to play dead puck era style goaltending while offensive schemes were turning back into 1970s era european hockey

I remember seeing a video someone posted on YouTube criticizing John Gibson about this. Basically saying goaltending has been evolving the last few years and part of Gibsons issue is he hasn't made any adjustments to how he's playing. They also alluded to Quick not really evolving his game either. Whether that's the goalie or the coach is up for debate, but it could be a bit of both.
Here's the video. He does make some good points.
