I don't think we'll attract this big of name but I could be entirely wrong
Why would the leaves even want him they can't even handle the four big names that have now and then now they get the rights to tanev??
If I were a betting man, I'd bet it on neither coming here.
After not qualifying ylonen there's only 12 forwards pencilled in next year. 13 with Roy who didn't really show enough to say he won't start in laval. Pezz isn't a starting 12 guy either. Easily room for a Stamkos or a Marchessault. Or even both. Even enough cap to extend Guhle and Slaf long term cause Kent didn't add anything to bergys infinite bad contract list the past two years.
Sennecke at 5 was never crazy, he was arguably the 3rd best forward profile of the draft after Celebrini and Demidov. The issue was his late rise but scouts seem to value height/frame and month-to-month trajectory a lot more than fans and non-hockey people. Both played into Sennecke's rise. It also can't be denied that ANA has a shitton of prospects and they took a swing on the potential unicorn.
Servalli said it came as total surprise to him. Could be another Monahan type contract. If Habs not in playoff contention at deadline Montreal has to flip him to cup contender. We likely retain, acquire a first at next draft
Even later in the draft, it's like all the Ds shifted back. Maybe having too many just made all the teams reach for the rare forwards instead.
He slipped. Looks like Yeti will be the club name.
A contender for what? You can't be serious but I didn't see the sarcasm emoji hence the reason I asked.
Drury is in for a tough negotiation...
It is crazy, but he’s their entire team imo. Without him they are a wildcard team.
Unless we make a few shortcut moves this offseason, I still think we're another year away from battling for a playoff spot. We don't have any scoring depth and our team defense is putrid. Monty and Primeau kept us in so many games where we were grossly outshot. The only teams in the East I think we're better than are Philly and CBJ and even that's up for debate.
I maintain it should be the Utah Orang-Utahns
I'm a big fan of this for Tampa. Moser is a decent 2nd pair guy and Tampa desperately needs some forward prospects like Geekie to restock the deck to try and sneak a late window cup like the 2018 Caps. I think Sergachev is a little overrated and also not the greatest fit for Tampa specifically since he's not a better PP1 option than Hedman and can't really carry his own pairing either. Moving on from that contract helps a lot and I think it was really smart. They can now roll with Hedman McDonagh Moser Cernak and feel good about their top 4 again while also bringing in some quality forward talent. Getting a 2nd for Jeannot was a steal too.
