[sampollock]

Jiriceck is more talented than Mailloux

then let's do it.

We3kings?

Now, does that mean a deal is imminent? Not exactly but I do expect something to be done sooner than later...but hold your horses if you're expecting something done by this weekend...although it only takes one phone call and things can change quickly.

That's what I love about this board. You get your fix of hockey talks and laughter along the way. Thank you!

 

[Deus ex machina]

It won't. Dach will sign a contract similar to Guhle. Hutson will probably sign a contract around 7m.

Also Gally is one major injury from retiring to LTIR. Gally and Anderson contract won't be a problem.

I think that's a good guess on Hutson but it's difficult to predict at this point what will happen with Dach.
One thing's for sure, the yearly 5% cap increase won't be enough for extending those 2 players (and a bunch of others too).

 

[Big Lurk]

Absolutely not.

I wouldn't take Nick Robertson on waivers.

Well, this settles that.
So Nick is trash...

 

[FerrisRox]

Well, this settles that.
So Nick is trash...

I don't think he's an NHLer on a good team.

He's got a great shot and is a pretty good playmaker, but he's absolutely useless without the puck and he's as soft as wet tissue paper.

He's undersized and his skating is below average, and if you're going to make it in the NHL at his size, you need to either be a very elusive skater, or play with some significant edge, he does neither.

He absolutely needs to be a Top Six player, because he is useless in the bottom six, and if Nick Robertson is in your Top Six, you have a terrible top six. I don't think he's a long-term NHLer.

As I said, I wouldn't claim him on waivers, he's just not good enough to be an every day NHL contributor.

I would venture to say that neither Newhook and Roy have a future with this team.

Why? Why is Roy a bust? That's so weird. He's the same age as Slaf basically.

 

[1909]

I'm not doing that. Mailloux has a decent chance at becoming a better player than Jiricek.

Mailloux has way more offensive skills. Pair him with Struble or an improved Xhekaj in the future.

Roy is not a bust, but to be effective, he will need to play in a top 9 role and he may end up like Barron, redundant and without a "chair". He also not the typical 3rd line W so... given the over all construction of the team... the question need to be asked: can we leverage him in a trade to improve elsewhere?

I would try to package him and Newhook for example for a 2C.

This x 2000.

Now HuGo only need to find a team with 2 second line centers who's looking for a team with an excess of 3rd line players.

I don't see Roy and Newhook getting a good 2c at this time. They would have to be really producing to get that return.

Best shot our second top 6 C are Hage, Dach, Demidov, and our 2025 1st. Monahan like ufa would be a nice stop gap.

Roy and Newhook might get us nice bottom six sandpaper if we can't get that in other ways.

Roy can do it all to get to the NHL. Look at what he did with Bedard in the WJC. It's crazy how people are ready to get rid of him, we have literally two top 9 wingers on the team?

Improve elsewhere? Like what? Getting a top 9 winger, which is one of the glaring hole on the team?
