Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXV: Halfway to Christmas

[Hollywood Cannon]

Panthers offered Giroux 1yr , 1 mill per Lebrun on overdrive lol

Their cap is a mess

Chuck would probably offer him the same deal.

Damn, I had good vibes for a few hours.

 

[GKJ]

If Giroux goes to Ottawa, and they find like 2 defenseman, they could be fixin’ for the playoffs.

I was actually not as much of a fan of the twins' work before I started listening to this. I used it, but I had some questions here and there. Now that I hear them explain things out loud, every other explanation is, "This is (Dave Cameron/Voros McCracken/Fangraphs Writer X's) idea modified to fit hockey." I'm good with that.

I started listening to this podcast after they had Charlie on it. It’s a fun listen for the most part

 

[bennysflyers16]

Could probably get 3 × $6 from multiple teams easily...but is the Cup pursuit worth it?

Take 1 yr deals from Sens , and if they missing go to a contender again. The. Back to Sens next year and repeat.

 

[Tripod]

Yeah G gonna sign with Sens. Then Sens gonna trade fior Weegar.

They should try to sign Kulak, I think he’s good. Maybe Leddy too.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Sounds like Petry is headed to Carolina once his signing bonus hits tomorrow.

Sens will finish with 20 more points than the Flyers.

Lots of weird posts today from Calgary fans saying he was gonna sign there.

 

[Magua]

Chuck Fletcher with all remaining Flyers assets to clear cap:

Coping.

I am very interested in the return here. So many of the vet D names kicked around could either be perfectly reasonable or horrendous depending on how the contracts impacted trade value. Or didn't.

Between his 15 team NTC and cap hit and term, I can’t imagine it’s a big market, right? I’m not confident betting on Petry at age 34, but I haven’t invested enough time to care and it depends on how you weight his recent year. There’s definitely cost dependent upside. I think there’s a high likelihood the picks the Flyers gave up are involved, which would be hilarious. Doubly so since Petry blocked the Flyers from trading for him.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Jesus Christ. It’s gonna get real bad.

I think our 1st is gonna be gone

 

[Curufinwe]

Both 1sts and the 2025 2nd

 

[bennysflyers16]

Every GM with 7 mill in caps space is calling.

Every GM with 7 mill in caps space is calling.

And Chuck is sitting there, if he’s even awake, thinking that he’s suddenly popular and everyone likes him.

 

[Magua]

Fascinated to see what happens to Tkachuk, in need of a contract. You have to wonder if him signing long term was contingent on Gaudreau.

 

[Curufinwe]

Calgary have space, and a hole at LW

NJ is one mid-range contract away from fitting both and they have the spare assets.

It wouldn’t have to be huge either. Tatar with one year left at 4.5 would be enough iirc.

 

[flyerslducks]

That team is going to shit all over the Flyers next season.

they've literarlly shat on us past 2 seasons too now lol

Mother of god.

I forgot that accumulating assets and cap space is a weapon. What a fit he’d be for that team. I can’t even imagine what his RFA rights would cost. Short of their untouchables, everything should be on the table. Holtz, Nemec, picks. If they want to get it done, they have the stuff. Did you factor in Bratt’s contract? I group him with the untouchables.
