The Great Wyatt Kalynuk Appreciation thread (And former Hawks talk vol 8)

I hope he figures it out.

Nothing to "figure out" besides being able to play more than 40 games a year

? He most definitely has a lot to figure out at the NHL level. Staying healthy will help with that.

 

[JaegerDice]

Still only 23 years old.

Lots of runway left for him.

 

[WarriorofTime]

23 (which is really 24 as he'll turn that in a month before Training Camp) isn't "lots of runway" imo, at that point, if you haven't held down a spot, it's more akin to a last chance before you're looking at 2 way deals or Europe.

i just mentioned him in another thread, so naturally having nothing better to do i googled brandon bollig, and i discovered that apparently he was a child actor in a 2003 western called “defiance”. more you know.

I loved Bollig trying to copy Patrick Kane’s stick handling display.

Looks like Tyler Johnson finally found a home.

Wouldn't say he found a home; PTOs are hardly a sure thing.

Considering he was without any sort of contract, I'm sure he'll take it.

 

[CallMeShaft]

I'm sure he'd be thrilled with joining a playoff team knowing how much crying he was doing at the end of last season.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I don't think TJ makes the Bruins he's totally cooked.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

As expected Kubalik unable to find an NHL team interested in him went back to Europe

Jarred Tinordi signs with Calgary

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Tinordi getting a guaranteed half million to play hockey is wild.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Calgary is going to be awful this year. They're going to try and trade all of their decent players and tank, tank, tank.

Honestly it's a brilliant move by their front office. You know you're gonna suck. Why not get a guy that will guarantee you get hinged in your own zone every night and help pile the L's? Calgary is top 5 bad as it is.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Wild that Tinordi gets guaranteed money, and Barrie gets a PTO from the same club lol

I'm thinking it's more Barrie not wanting to play in the AHL and Tinordi accepting that future.

Too bad Montreal owns either Calgary’s first this year or next year

 

[Hawkaholic]

Too bad Montreal owns either Calgary’s first this year or next year

Its complicated, but apparently it can be Floridas 1st round pick instead.

In the event Calgary's own 2024 first (1st) round choice is selection 20-32 (inclusive) (following the determination of the 2024 NHL Draft lottery results), then Montreal shall have the option, exercisable until 48 hours prior to the start of the 2024 NHL draft, to exchange the conditional 2025 or 2026 first round choice to become Calgary's own 2024 first (1st) round choice); or, If Florida's 2025 First (1st) Round Choice Transfers to Calgary (pursuant to the conditions on an earlier trade) 2. In the event the conditions to trigger Montreal's option as noted in #1 above does not occur, or Montreal declines to exercise this option, the following conditions shall prevail: A) If both Calgary's own 2025 first (1st) round choice and Florida's 2025 first (1st) round choice (previously acquired by Calgary) are not in the top-10 selections of the 2025 NHL Draft (following the determination of the 2025 NHL Draft lottery results), then Montreal shall receive the earlier of the two (2) stated choices; or, B) If Calgary's own 2025 first (1st) round choice is a top-10 selection and Florida's 2025 first round selection (previously acquired by Calgary) is outside of the top-10 selections (following the determination of the 2025 NHL Draft lottery results), Montreal shall receive Florida's 2025 first (1st) round choice). If Florida's 2025 First Round Choice DOES NOT Transfer to Calgary (pursuant to the conditions on an earlier trade) 3. In the event the conditions to trigger Montreal's option as noted in #1 above does not occur, or Montreal declines to exercise this option, the following conditions shall prevail: A. If Calgary's own 2025 first (1st) round choice is not in the top-10 selections of the 2025 NHL Draft (following the determination of the 2025 NHL Draft lottery results), Montreal shall receive Calgary's own 2025 first (1st) round choice, and additionally, 1) If Florida's own 2025 first (1st) round choice is not in the top-10 selections of the 2025 NHL Draft (following the determination of the 2025 NHL Draft lottery results); and, 2) Florida's 2025 first (1st) round choice has been transferred to another NHL Club; and, 3) Florida's 2025 first round draft position is better than Calgary's 2025 first round draft position; then Calgary will transfer their own 2025 fourth round choice to Montreal. B. If Calgary's own 2025 first (1st) round choice is a top-10 selection (following the determination of the 2025 NHL Draft lottery results), Montreal shall receive Calgary's 2025 first (1st) round choice, subject to the following condition below: 1) In the event Calgary's 2025 first (1st) round choice is the first (1st) selection overall in the 2025 NHL Draft (following the determination of the 2025 NHL Draft lottery results), Calgary will retain its own 2025 first (1st) round choice and Montreal shall instead receive Calgary's own 2025 third (3rd) round choice and a conditional 2026 first (1st) round choice. Montreal shall receive the better of Calgary's 2026 first (1st) round choice or Florida's 2026 first (1st) round choice (following the determination of the 2026 NHL Draft lottery results) (previously conditionally acquired by Calgary).

Holy cow, that was so many caveats that I thought it was a fiddy post at first glance before I noticed the lack of typos.

Maybe being nearly out of NHL will finally make lightbulb come on for Boris

Very unlikely though

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Boring can play. He must be a passenger in practice because LuRich wasn't a fan.
