I wish NTC lists were public.
Good news is we're in the top 5!
Top 5 places Radek Faksa didn't want to play (he had a 5 team NTC)

How does Olofsson going to Vegas fit into the compensatory pick formula?
I was kidding.Isn't a thing in the NHL. Only thing you get comp picks for is if a draft pick doesn't sign, and its always one round later. So if you have a 1st rounder that doesn't sign, you get a 2nd round comp pick.
Roslovic would be a great short term fix for the Mittelstadt problem. Gives Adams time to set up a long term fix.For those, like me, still coveting an actual 3C, in spite of Adams' happy talk about Krebs ... Roslovic is still available.
The idea that Adams is on the hot seat is completely made up by the media and based on what would happen in any other professional sports franchise. Adams is basically a Pegula, he’s going nowhere.I wonder if Adams knows this could be his last as GM.
I think that could be a media and fan narrative more than a reality.
I would love for Kevyn to try and have Kupari added if they work on something with Ehlers. If not maybe a Kupari for Rousek or 7th.We definitely need center depth. Even if everyone clicks and is playing well enough, if one of Tage, Cozens, Krebs, or Lafferty goes down I don't know who we plug in or slide over. Kulich? Savoie? Ostlund? Or try Quinn there? At least with Girgensons you know you could use him in a pinch.
Ehh, Joseph and decent really don't go together, plus there is a second year... Now Faksa, I probably would have taken for future considerations as depth.So stl gets paid a third to take a 2.4M contract of a decent third liner and we pay a 2nd for a 26 year old who just cracked the nhl. Nice. (I actually like malenstyn I’m just trying to get people going/ maybe not at a 2nd tho )
It actually is an either/or.Come on now. There is differentiation between being happy with the players that they’ve acquired because they fill a need and a role versus being co that it totally fixes things or makes this lineup playoff worthy. It’s not an either or.
Haha yeah I honestly don’t even like Joseph, I’m just trying to be a smart assEhh, Joseph and decent really don't go together, plus there is a second year... Now Faksa, I probably would have taken for future considerations as depth.
So far it's too little, too late. I was done with Adams a year ago.It actually is an either/or.
I’ve seen plenty of people say Adams is doing a great job this offseason - is it really possible to do a great job and also think this isn’t a playoff team? Id say no.
I’d suggest that they are people whose bar is so low that they are going to be happy no matter what happens. It’s nice to be those people, but winning doesn’t matter to them.
I feel bad now but I'd definitely feel worse seeing someone's 16 team NTC listing Winnipeg and then Buffalo 15 timesI wish NTC lists were public.
Adams has done his job so far in my opinion now he just has to finish doing his job ie. a center, retool some of the defense etcSo far it's too little, too late. I was done with Adams a year ago.
If you look at this summer so far I think it's a C- that can improve a lot.
One big trade for a top 6 center and I'd be pretty happy about the roster balance.
My favourite deal so far is the Reimer deal. Trading down at the draft for a good return and getting our guy was nice as well.
Faksa traded for futures.
Good news is we're in the top 5!

I think this would be the hockey version of cuckold.I wish NTC lists were public.
I’m a psychopath. I want to know why also.I think this would be the hockey version of cuckold.
Roslovic has been playing more wing than center lately. I wouldn't count on him fixing the Sabres 3C issue. He would be a lottery ticket with Krebs in an attempt to get something going in that spot, though.Roslovic would be a great short term fix for the Mittelstadt problem.

As do the Sens.I wish NTC lists were public.
NHL should tie NTC to salary tbh. NTC and NMC seem to kill a bunch of deals. Tie it to the offer sheet formula. The team still elects if they want to give one or not but this is the structure they would look like. Also tie in a rule that is 3 or more, there need is to be a minimum of one team from each conference.
$1 - $1,511,701 = No NTC
$1,511,702 - $2,290,457 = 1 team NTC
$2,290,458 - $4,580,917 = 3 team NTC
$4,580,918 - $6,871,374 = 5 team NTC
$6,871,375 - $9,161,834 = 7 team NTC
$9,161,835 - $11,452,294 = 10 team NTC
$11,452,295 = Full NMC
He should be better than Krebs though. If we are still in the playoff race by december we might be able to get someone from teams that gice up. I like our chances way better even with a bad option like Roslovic, Krebs as 3C is just wild gambling with very little upside.Roslovic has been playing more wing than center lately.
