Didnt he have his best years in Minnesota playing center?Granlund is not a center at the NHL level. He can play center, but he shouldnt.

I think he was at his best playing RW if I’m not mistakenDidnt he have his best years in Minnesota playing center?
I'd like a Palms/Gusev/Bratt/Blackwood signing right about now to get myself away from the next 24-72 hours.
My mistake then. I thought he mostly played C in Minnesota.I think he was at his best playing RW if I’m not mistaken
Its okay, I see him listed as C in many FA lists and many fans saying they want him to play C for them on a cheap 1-yr deal.My mistake then. I thought he mostly played C in Minnesota.
I would have rather they reminded me to turn my clocks back if they were interested in PSA'sOn top of the low-hanging fruit of good publicity, the Rock is also a voting site this year. Synergy brah
If it was positional why would it not be Barzal instead of Provorov and Werenski? It's nice in hindsight to be able to say Provorov and Werenski were better then Zacha, but what if we picked 5th and Hanifin was on the board?This is a very hypothetical scenario that would include same rating of current abilities and perceiving the potential (and the likelihood to reach it) as exactly the same. To achieve it, you'd have to literally clone the player.
Of course, BPA will vary from scout to scout because different scouts will value different things but "how does the players' position correspond to current lineup" shouldn't be one. This is how you get Zacha instead of Provorov and Werenski etc.
I don't think anything is happening for awhile. Not a chance gusev signs a contract until later this year. I think Gusev is gonna explode this season & then he's gonna demand a much bigger contract. Palms we won't hear anything either unless he's willing to do a short term team friendly deal. My max offer on Palms is 3 years anything more then cya. Blackwood and Bratt deals can come at any time though.I'd like a Palms/Gusev/Bratt/Blackwood signing right about now to get myself away from the next 24-72 hours.

We hear again and again about tiers of players. Why? because there is no clear cut 1-32 distinction of prospects. There is no such distinction. In reality it's muddy, and the best teams come up with is groupings of players. And in a grouping I have no issue if teams interject an importance on need.

I like that Mantha contract as a base for Palms. 4 years 5.5-6 mill
I think the Devils should do some stuff that makes the team a better team.

The CBC had an article about discussions at the moment relative to formatting play in a series of bubbles for different groups of teams. The idea was the NHL would not have each club travel in a normal fashion. But groups would shelter as they did in the playoffs around a series of hubs and play within these groupings. There would then be breaks - that is, they’d break isolation after a certain time, and reshuffle. They were thinking they could manage Covid in this format as they did in the playoffs.where are we at, season-wise? last i heard they were aiming for january i think

Read an article that Vancouver might still deal Virtanen. Says it's easier to trade a player when they dont have arbitration looming. If this is true, what would it take to get him?
I like Virtanen a lot but I don’t see how it makes sense.
Vancouver is likely to shed salary in a deal like this. Devils are likely better off keeping some space open in case something falls into their lap. If Virtanen is dealt it’s likely to get assets rather than a cap dump and to that same point, Devils should hang onto those for bigger needs (namely defensive upgrades).
If it could be done with swapping Wood, I wouldn’t mind at all. Baertschi should be an interesting name to keep an eye on, if they need to shed cap, I wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on him if everything else falls flat.
