His season has to be looked at in the context of being in his draft+5. He was OK and pretty solid fundamentally but his defensive play certainly didn't 'pop' to me in any way.
I'm sure he'll improve next year but this was essentially a 3RD in the AHL in his draft+5 which to me ... isn't close to making the NHL. Again, as an AHL player he wasn't even close to Jett Woo who is nearly the same age.
I strongly disagree here. He had one pretty good preseason game in the first game he played with Hughes and then they gave him 3 more and in those other 3 games he looked terrible - took a million penalties because he was just miles behind the play and reacting and looked nowhere near ready to be anywhere near the NHL.
Fair enough.
But again, when you're an NCAA signing you have to be good quickly. Max Sasson is in the same situation and he showed a much sharper curve, and from November 1 onward was nearly a PPG player for Abbotsford while also being one of the team's better defensive forwards. McWard, to me, didn't show that level of progression.
And again, I just don't know what he is or what the projection is. He isn't a defensive defender - smallish, not physical at all, not really a guy who projects to play high-leverage - and he isn't really a skill defender either. He's just kind of a middling all-around AHL player, to me, and those guys don't project.
I disagree but I seem to like Necas more than most here. Depends on what one is looking for I guess. I think Necas is the better offensive talent.

He won't! It's a fake tweet by a fake account but because of the NHL's insistence on nothing happening today, no reporters are giving it any thought and idiots like us can run wild.
If he thinks he is a god in Toronto, wait until he gets to Salt Lake City!
I see this morning the Canucks are once again being linked to UFA forward Tyler Tofoli. Hard to believe that since leaving the Canucks, he's now played for four different teams--Habs, Flames, Devils and Jets.
Means one of two things. Either the guy is still productive and a tradeable commodity at the TDL; or teams have decided that he's not worth signing to a new contract so they deal him for what they can get.
The second edition of Tofoli in Vancouver might work--if they can get him cheaply enough.

I’d consider full cap hit if they agree to take on Mikheyev.

There was someone I was trying to report because they were impersonating someone else. The problem, the person they were impersonating doesn't have a twitter account so you can't report it.
Tomorrow, hopefully, we'll see a bunch of players placed on waivers for buyouts, extensions, and trades that have all essentially been sitting in the queue. This week is insane. I have the dates detailed out in the stickied original post but
Monday: Stanley Cup Final
Tuesday: Players placed on unconditional waivers for buyouts
Wednesday: Buyouts complete
Thursday: NHL awards
Friday: NHL draft Day 01
Saturday: NHL draft Day 02
Sunday: Day of Rest
Monday: Free Agency Opens/QO Date
Monday: Stanley Cup Final
Tuesday: Players placed on unconditional waivers for buyouts
Wednesday: Buyouts complete
Thursday: NHL awards
Friday: NHL draft Day 01
Saturday: NHL draft Day 02
Sunday: Day of Rest
Monday: Free Agency Opens/QO Date

If Guentzel can't be signed and the Leafs want to keep Marner:
Tavares ($8,750,000 or 20% retained)
Liljegren
for
Mikheyev
Rights to Zadorov
2025 4th
Play Tavares on EP's wing and he can play C when needed. Frees up substantial space for next offseason without strapping the team in LT with a bad contract.

Still watching hockey a week before July is stupid.
Shorten up the weeks of pre-season/camp and play out the Cup final by the end of May.
This has dragged on forever.
The famed A*hole coaches who play mindgames frequently seem to identify guys they can push to be successful and or guys that are weak. Take Marner. He is undoubtedly a star in the league and the frequent thing you hear about Marner is that he has a massive ego and that he needs to change. Day 1 Babcock identifies Marner as a guy to screw with for pleasure.
Yes please stop using it

Twitter is indeed a shithole. As I’ve said before, when the hockey insiders start breaking all their news somewhere else, I’ll delete my account.

I mean, stop using it, but every single hockey-related news item basically breaks on there now. It's where all the insiders post their latest. All trade and signing news comes from a Tweet, either an insider or the club itself uses it. I guess you could Shift + F5 Sportsnet or TSN until something pops up if you wanted to be super 1990s.

Dude your transaction tracker is amazing. Thought about doing something like this myself this summer and now I don't have to. Your work is very much appreciated.

Maccelli is a really underrated player. Fantastic playmaker. Hardly a throw-in.

Hopefully this is true Bettman would absolutely lose it.
