Some posters don’t seem to be aware that he’s tied for 5th in scoring among forwards.

Not sure what they expect from a 3rd/4th liner.

The problem was that he had a good start and hasn't been able to contribute as the year has gone on.

Since January 1st he has 2 goals and 5 assists for 7 points in 37 games. That's a .19 P/G rate which is equal to 15.5 points over an 82 game schedule.

Even if he is good defensively, he's not worth the contract he's going to get. Someone will look at his overall numbers and give him 2-3M.

2-3M will be standard 4th line money if it isn't already.

He had a nice little unsustainable stretch where he put up 10 points in 9 games earlier in the year. He has 7 points in his last 37 games since Jan 1. A lack of production in our bottom six is one of the reasons why this team is having its worst season in years. He’s also gotten ample opportunity in the top 6 this year and has almost never been utilized on our 4th line. Oh and he’s also getting outscored when he played in our bottom 6.

The context is him re-signing at $1m. If that's the scenario, you take the bad with the good, because the alternative probably gives you bad with more bad.

A lot of the heat he takes comes with the expectations that came along with his initial contract. It's over and done. The player he is now is worth more than $1m on the open market.

We have 37M or 42% of cap currently injured. Ugh.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Wonder who we would burn a year on?

Matthew Davis!!!

 

[Jumptheshark]

Kravtsov is Canucks property.

And Nucks have said they will make another offer

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Matthew Davis!!!

lol there might be a player there, but I suspect it's more likely a forward or defenseman.

Unlike if this was Calgary, I'd argue it's too much

Who's out there thats worthy of playing in the show? IIRC you don't burn a year playing out the stretch in Bako. We're so injured right now that we could use a warm body. Bako is on the outside looking in at the AHL playoffs, albeit with a couple games in hand, but potentially could avoid the minors and immediately become a black ace. A guy like TJ Hughes should look at our prospect pool and see opportunity.

That's kind of what i was thinking as well. there's rumors of interest in Dalton Bancroft but that's a guy you wouldn't exactly burn a year for. TJ Hughes was one guy that came to mind last night and another was Quinn Hudson who still has the frozen four to play out on Thursday and Possibly Saturday with a win.

The Bruins signed Bancroft yesterday I believe.

I wasn’t thinking the Frozen Four guys just cause of the regular season timeline, but there is the Calgarian in Denver, Carter King.

In other news i was wondering if we should LTIR Draisaitl for the rest of the season and bring Kane into the lineup to knock the rust off.

If he can go, Kane that is, there's literally no reason not to try.

Is there still time to LTIR? Two weeks or 10 games correct? I’m not sure how that works at the end of the year.

 

[Arpeggio]

2-3M will be standard 4th line money if it isn't already.

Minimum contract is still under a million though. The Oilers should not be paying fourth liners 2-3 million right now.

If they are worth a damn why not? We need an infusion of youth on this team.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I'd probably LTIR Ekholm first unless Drai really needs the full time off.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Yes i guess its 24 days AND 10 games so likely cant roll with it at the end of the year.

Regardless id still keep Leon out until the Playoffs.

We can't unfortunately. To qualify for LTIR relief means the player being out for minimum 10 games and 24 days.

Look at the Daily Faceoff's top College Free Agents, I wonder if it's any of

Hockey’s March Madness: NHL teams chasing top undrafted NCAA free agents for 2025

Denver’s Carter King headlines the list of college players expected to draw NHL interest.

www.dailyfaceoff.com

Carter King, Sam Strange or Zach Urdahl.

I don't know how NHL ready any of them are, but it could be close in limited time.

With the way Brett Brochu is willing Bako into the playoffs with a bunch of ECHL callups (including himself), you could call up anyone from the farm and Brochu might still get them in.

You can with either Ekholm or McDavid though. If Kane can get some games in the season, then you 100% do this. McDavid and Ekholm don't need more game time before the playoffs. They need rest/health before the playoffs.
