Happy I found this!
Coleman - 2nd in NCAA
Pietila - 6th in NCAA
Wonder how this translates to the NHL. Unfortunately I can't find stats outside 2014-2015

Actually according to TG it seems as if Clowe gets his whole salary either way, cause he was injured while playing

Where do we stand Salary Cap wise if his salary goes away, that must put us awfully close to the cap floor

Hell Toupée!!!
LTIR counts for the cap until the team needs relief at the upper level…..so no problems with the floor

If he retires though, his salary is off the books completely. He was under 35 when he signed the deal.

It'd be close but I think they'd still be barely above the floor even if Clowe's salary dissapeared, with a full 23-man roster (take whatever's on here, subtract Clowe and add five more non-roster players to get to 23 - say Zacha, Boucher, Kalinin, O'Brien and Hraberenka)

Remember the Larsson extension takes effect immediately, and the Zubrus buyout keeps his cap number on the books.

So much money and no one to give it too......I have this gut feeling we are going to take on one of Chicago's crappy contracts to get another asset. I hope to god I am wrong.

If we take them on to fill a spot, then I can't complain.
I don't think Shero is going to do anything until he's absolutely sure the kids aren't ready. If we can pick up an extra pick to take Versteeg for a year then why not.
I do think we're going to see Stempniak or Tlusty at camp. Glennie would probably be another guy that would be smart to bring along as a tryout basis.

Ya, I have been pimping Glennie all summer long, would be a good fit for a few different reasons. I just have this gut feeling that there is another move coming along here in the next 2 weeks.

What's the deal with Tlusty? He isn't good enough to have gotten a one year deal from somewhere over this offseason? Or does he just want more money than anyone wants to give him? Maybe a multi year deal? And they only wanna give him one or two years and he wants 3 or 4?
It's kinda like that year Brad Boyes was last a UFA. All he could get were two PTO's. One from the Panthers, one from the Islanders where he had been playing the years before. Despite having a good season before that and pretty good for the past few before that, or at least for the most part.
Then the Panthers re sign him the next year to a two year deal, then he's bought out one year into it. All this despite two season's of producing at roughly half a point per game and only in his early 30s. I think that dude had to be a locker room issue or possibly had a health problem that was about to deteriorate. So many issues with him getting deals and then getting bought out while still being a productive player.

If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can see the stats from the two seasons prior to 2014-15.
Pietila ranked 11th in NCAA in faceoffs in 2013-14 and 60th in 2012-13. Seems to indicate he can hold his own in the faceoff dots.
Coleman put up positive faceoff percentage numbers the previous season as well. I'd expect Coleman to be more of a winger in the NHL though.

I wouldn't really go that far.
Brunner was very unknown and unproven in this league when we got him. He really only had one half of an NHL season under his belt by that time.
Tlusty has been a regular in the NHL since 2009-2010 and had 75 or so NHL games even before that.
He hasn't been too impressive the last couple years, but there's been worse players that have gotten deals this offseason.
To bring the Hynes/OT/strategy talk over to the team discussion thread, I'm not sure how aggressive we're really going to be. We're still not very fast or skilled up front. The defense getting involved should help, but with half the defense still not having much experience it could be dicey. I'm really wondering how the nebulous "fast, attacking, supportive" mantra is going to play out with the personnel we have.

I know I've mentioned this before but I need to again.
Mike Cammalleri makes $250k less a year (at least his cap hit costs $250k less) than David Clarkson and his deal ends one year before Clarkson's current deal. That's pretty hilarious and worth a few laughs.
And maybe if we took his deal from Toronto before Columbus did, maybe he would have also been worth a few laff's if you know what I mean? Kadri and Kessel
I'm not sure either. We might be a little faster, though I don't see us as being significantly more skilled yet either.
I'm looking out for a Clowe announcement today too, I think we might hear something on him today. If not today then sometime this week is what was said by TG.

If Clowe retires, how many +35s will we have then? Only Patty? Im really liking this clean sweep Shero has going on. Was hoping for fresh thoughts and progress with his signing (Shero), and that's what we've gotten, im happy.

yep patty.....next is greene at 32....the rest of the team is younger....
the old movement has been purged
edit: forgot camm is 5 months older than greene

That was the last question he(Hynes) was asked by XM NHL on the replays this weekend from early this summer.
The host was going to send wine to the first coach who ran with three forwards.
I don't mind the cleaning out, but I hope what Hynes said is true that a youth movement won't come in the way of the team being competitive ie no Buffalo/Edmonton style moves.
I'm all for getting young, but the team needs guys that score old or young up front.

As long as he (or she in the name of equality and political correctness) put the puck in the net frequently and on a steady basis, i do not care whether its a youngster or a reincarnation of any former dinosaur Devil.

I'm obviously biased as a Devils fan, but I think he'll get in. I'm with the 60 percent of the ESPN panel that voted him in.
