Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXVIII: The Liaison of Doom

[Magua]

It’s too late for me to think about this critically but JFresh says it doesn’t take him to UFA.

I know his birthday is late, but it’s 7 professional seasons…..he didn’t have a slide year. I’m apparently an idiot because it’s news to me that AHL and NHL time accrued is not the same for 20+ year olds and RFA. Yet another reason to get late summer birthdays.

In that case, I understand the team’s rationale, and it fits him under the cap. And it in all but name walks him to UFA as a 1 year RFA. I’d ask why he didn’t shave a season off with an increasing cap, but I can’t argue with a financial safety net.

Seems like Zacha could actually work with Pastrňák and Krejčí.. hm. Not sure how I feel about it outside being a Czech fan

 

[Beef Invictus]

Lol.

Look you can't play hockey by doing that

How a wave of fast, young defensemen is changing the NHL

By sparking an influx of speed, shaking up the salary structure and creating an ultracompetitive Norris Trophy field, Cale Makar, Adam Fox & Co. are having a far-reaching impact.

Even back then, Makar could use his agility, stickhandling, speed, timing and vision as a way of deceiving opponents to his advantage. But because he did not see defensemen at higher levels play that way, Makar thought it might not work as he went up the ranks.

"It might have been the first year in Canada they aired the NCAA championship with [Shayne] Gostisbehere and Union," Makar recalled. "That was kind of the first guy where I was like, 'Wow. He's doing that. All the stuff that I am doing right now, but at a level that is way higher.' In my mind, it was like, 'Wow. There is some hope there.'

"It was the first moment I realized there was a change in style. That was definitely a defining moment for sure."

Have you noticed that every single thing the Flyers do is backwards and wrong?

See I look at this and see 100% irrefutable proof that the scouts wanted Makar.

Dominoes...if Hextall doesn't botch that draft then they don't need to sign Yandle because they already have their cheaper Ghost replacement.

Can you imagine them "developing" Makar? I can't even imagine how badly that would have gone. Actually, we saw exactly how badly it would have gone lol. (Not that he and Ghost were exactly the same, obviously.)

Friedman was told by someone that Dallas was looking at 4 years not 3, because he would still be a RFA after 4. It was a surprise to him, too.

So BizNasty supposedly went all frat boy Barstool on TNT last night.

Cancel culture is out in full force.

Brassard is still on a PTO i.e. available for Fletcher to sign.

Yeah, if Ghost can't dominate when paired with trash and the entire team is getting destroyed, it's proof he's actually awful.

I mean he IS all frat boy. That's his entire persona.

I believe he made some comment after talking about Seguin about how a lot of women only watch because they're hot.

A stupid comment? Yes. Worth getting worked up about? Probably not.

This is a team set up to succeed if I've ever seen one.



That sample size is a perfect thing to quote half a decade later and cite instead of the other hundreds of games of his career.

Put that shit in spoilers. I almost just threw up the donut I ate.

 

[FLYguy3911]

If that team can make the playoffs, I'm pounding the over 73.5 this year.

 

[Larry44]

For those following the Hockey Canada saga, another huge sponsor, Canadian Tire, just pulled out its funding for men's hockey. Along with Tim Horton's, Scotiabank, Chevrolet and Telus. Expect the Board's resignations shortly, along with the purge of the entire front office. The morons at HC thought they could be cute with the parliamentary committee and the pulled federal government funding because they had private sponsorship. Not any more.

Canadian Tire latest sponsor to cut ties with Hockey Canada - Sportsnet.ca
