I feel like a lot of us next year will be the Wolverine meme with Zadorov, but we made the right call. I loved that f***ing ogre.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

Honestly, I kinda thinking Hög has more potential than I thought when he was drafted. If he puts it altogether, he's the next Mikael Renberg at such a smalller size which is remarkable.

my memory of renberg is he was the defensive safety valve for lindros and leclair, incredibly strong and unstoppable on the cycle, and a sneaky smart playmaker.

i feel like hög is almost the opposite player, in terms of both the good and the bad. strengths: a buzzy forechecker who forces turnovers and scores goals with his fast hands. weaknesses: not big enough to wear down the opposition, not very reliable defensively, poor at using his teammates.

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

I don’t think he makes any excuses, he just goes for it

@SopelFanThe3rd , myself and Coach Rick are big ask for forgiveness guys

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

So, what you are saying, in a round about way, is that the gummies were pretty good?

It's a truly bizarre comparison.

Renberg was a big, fast, playmaking winger who could use his size to protect the puck and had great hockey sense for getting into space and running give-and-go's.

None of this describes Hoglander.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Renberg was hella soft for his size.

So Hurricanes will terminate his contract, get an extra 3.9m, but be without their 2nd line centre.

I believe this clears up 3.9m for the Capitals as well.

Wonder if this extra cap room would have changed their position on Guentzal?

They were probably well aware of Kuznetsov's intentions already.

that is a lot of dough to walk away from.

Nice deal on cap hit - he's still an RFA when this expires, if I am not mistaken?

Yes he is. Setting himself up for a huge cap hit in 5 years and use RFA Tkachuk did, if need be.

 

[ameselare]

I think he'll be a UFA?? 8 accrued seasons (either has to be 7 seasons of 40 games or age 27+)

 

[Delocatedfan]

Very curious what the price would be for Askarov in Nashville as he maybe asking out of Nashville w/ Saros signing the 8 year extension.

Goalies tend to not have the best value but he might be a nice player to have in the system

 

[Vector]

You are correct. I thought he was younger but will be UFA at the end of this contract.

 

[Britton]

I'm not sure that's such a steal then if it doesn't buy any UFA years. If this deal had been 7 or 8 years yes, but 5 when he's gonna be a UFA at 26 is a little questionable.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Good for QB, bad for LA.

 

[TruGr1t]

Only bought 1 UFA year, so that contract makes sense. Not sure why’d you do that, but guess they wanted to keep the AAV down.

 

[ameselare]

I guess this contract helps LA build out their roster these next few seasons, and is a pretty damn good trade piece if they decide they need/want to completely blow it all up if things don't go well? Would obviously be better for them either way if they could get him on a long term deal, but he might not have wanted that. Still getting a feel for his agent David Gagner - he's a newer agent for Wasserman. Took on a fair amount of Jeff Jackson's players when he went over to the Oilers (DeBrincat, Ekblad, Byfield, Drysdale, Evangelista, etc).

 

[StreetHawk]

I think the rule to accrue an nhl season is for the player to be on the nhl roster for half the season or more. So a league year runs about 185 days or so. So something like 93 earns you that year. Thus Byfield got it for the 21/22 season.

Way too expensive for the Canucks, who have much bigger needs elsewhere.

 

[VanJack]

They were probably well aware of Kuznetsov's intentions already.

The Canes are probably clearing the decks on what could soon be a whopping contract for Necas. His arbitration hearing is in 10- days or so, and it could be a big salary cap bite, based on his production last season.

It'll be interesting to see if Carolina is still interested in dealing him, or whether they accept the arbitrator's ruling and bring him back for a season or two.
