Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | If Babcock is Our New Coach Will Players Want to Come Here?

Kinda wondering how everyone feels about Colton Dach. I really like the kid, he actually put up points in the few games he played and some of them were nice little plays.

I don’t think he did much in Chicago this season but put up pretty impressive AHL numbers before that.

Not saying he’s gonna be a top 6 winger anytime soon, but I definitely have him penciled in on that 4th line opening night. Big kid, decent hands, love his effort, I think he could become a real fan favorite pretty soon being a hometown kid to boot.

If you can find the Bruce Curlock interview on Stauffer- he had some great analysis on Dach. Basically, from what I remember, he was asked to carry the puck a lot more Chicago where his game is more of a get the puck to a facilitator and get open for a shot (which he has a cannon). Curlock liked him a lot. Hinted at perhaps having the hockey IQ to move up the lineup

He put up some good numbers in the WHL and strong showings in the AHL.

He is still young and seems to developed a skillset outside of offence. But has some skill and wouldn’t surprise me if he put up more offence

Wouldn’t hate seeing him with McDavid to see what playing with a skilled player would do

Acquiring a goalie that thrives when he sees a ton of shots to a team that hardly gives up shots will be an interesting experiment.

Those are crazy numbers. And also nobody wants to play in Seattle.

How can he turn that down? Lolol…

Also Pickard. Could have had Dipietro for free. Kept Pickard. Should have sent down Pickard in the first month and saw what you had in Ingram- kept Pickard. Ended up trading for Jarry and sending down Pickard anyways

I still mostly blame the Jarry trade on the players…. They wouldn’t allow Pickard to get sent to the minors. Ingram didn’t get one game in until after the Jarry trade.

Guess the tax free states don't win all the time

Probably has a team in mind he wants to go to or wants to go to a contender.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Maybe Babs will bully him

I think Nuge will be interesting to watch under Babs.

I can totally see babock scratching him a game or two to send a message.

I blame entitled players a lot but I wouldn’t want to play for The Seattle Directionless either.

The players can’t “allow” anything. Bowman needed to grow a pair if the players said to hold off on Pickard. And the players didn’t force Bowman to take on an albatross contract while also giving up assets.

came across my feed .. not sure how legit

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

My sources are predicting a package deal of hintz, kempe, zub, amadio....maybe Evans, also one of the elite Russian goalies
....vasilevski, sorokin or shesty.

Oh and mintyukov.

Sweet sweet minty.....

Stankoven?

Radek faksa wherever he went.

Crazy numbers indeed!
Anyone know how close $12M in Dallas would be to $15M in Seattle?

They are both tax free states

No interest unless he comes with an extension in place. He forced his way out of Ottawa so he could play closer to home.

If this is indeed true, Leafs got screwed in this then LOL.

what is Toronto's game plan here? why are they trying to stock up on draft picks? Are they rebuilding? They must really like the top players in this draft or something.

Getting ready for the future when Matthews walks as a UFA to join Mcdavid on the Oilers.

Chayka just used to eating Wendys all the time. He think he needs a combo to go along with #1.

Says to me he wants to win, Seattle is directionless, they seem happy being a perpetual playoff bubble team, but never good enough to win it all.

I wonder if he has a specific team in mind cause that is the 2nd team he has rejected.

Lets put an end to this tax nonsense. Puck Levine- a CPA in Canada and now working in the USA with his own accounting firm (and Puckpedia founder) on Staufffer's show has previously shot this down. He said there isnt much difference because only 41 games are played at home. What players make their primary residence also makes a difference (go back home during the offseason). While there is some variance between non-tax states and tax states- it isnt as much as people say. He also added once you account for costs for health (canada vs US), and other costs that vary state to state- the difference gets smaller.

Weather is definitely a factor and so is lifestyle. Tax isnt a big consideration
