Speculation: Roster Building/Rumor Thread XIX

Andersen to Car

So why are we throwing out the fact that Strome can play on the PP, even if he's not an elite PP player? We're just ignoring that to focus on ES points.

Not ignoring it. But the idea is that one of Lafreniere, Kakko or Kravstov steps up to replace his PP production. Haven't shown it yet, but if one does any we lock in Strome in part because of his powerplay production, it seems wasteful as his opportunity wouldn't be there anymore.

So far this has been the best UFA day since it started 2.5 days ago and we are just at the opening

As has been said many times, Danault's EV numbers (23 in 53 games) are comparable with Strome's (29 in 56 games). I don't know who Danault was playing with in Montreal, but it wasn't Panarin. And this past year was a down year for Danault. The year before he had 43 EVP in 71 games. Strome had 41 EVP in 70 games.

This year, Strome averaged 3:14 per game on the PP while Danault averaged :19 per game. Their EV ice time was comparable, 14:07 for Strome and 14:15 for Danault.

Danault kills penalties. 2:17 per game, most of any forward on team. Strome averaged :55 per game on the PK, 6th most among forwards.

Danault is much better on faceoffs (52.5%) than Strome (43.2%).

Danault will cost a similar amount to what Strome will cost on his next contract. He is also free to acquire as a free agent, while we can trade Strome for assets.

We have all the scoring we need on the wings + Zib. Getting a defensively responsible center to take tough matchups is exactly what this team needs. It's just a matter of getting him at a good price

Had no idea he was Irish.

Columbus relocated to Ireland?

So why are we throwing out the fact that Strome can play on the PP, even if he's not an elite PP player? We're just ignoring that to focus on ES points.

Because many looks at Danaults total points and see a big downgrade from Strome. Even if we resign Strome and do not sign Danault i can not see it as a posibility that Strome will keep his spot on PP1 with Kappo, Kravtsov and Lafreniere entering their prime (or Chytil or Lundkvist or Miller).
NYR as is today is stacked with players having a PP skill-set, but lacking players with more defensive skills (weird to think about how complete different this team are from the black & blue boys of the 2012 run to the conferance finals).

Danault had almost 19 minutes toi in rhe playoffs, led all forwards on his team, and scored 4 points. 2021 Eric Staal had twice as many.

In the regular season his 5v5 production is fine, in the playoffs he’s absolutely a defensive specialist and you better be comfortable paying him for that

His point totals cooled because Gallagher was obviously hurt. He's not gonna add to points on a line but will defend well, i think signing him is an overpayment and it feels a lot like Drury/Gomez where he's the best available so he's getting overpaid.

This is significantly better than the Goodrow deal

The insiders must be wrong. I heard here there was no way that Coleman wasn't signing in Dallas.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Drury needs call up his agent and tell him they need to start doing their part if they really want Jack traded

Leslie saying that Hamilton is going to NJ for 7 years, 60+

score!
