What This Means for You:
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord ServerWhat are you smoking? Since the middle of December this team easily top 10 in nhl. In the large majority of those games I think we have outplayed the opposition.If the team is going in the right direction then why are our underlying numbers so poor? Actually worse than last years underlying numbers.
Again - throughout this year we have gotten severely out chanced and riding a high shooting %. It seems like everyone is conflating a lot of luck with this big step forward. I don’t see it on most nights.

No idea. Maybe he doesn’t think he has an NHL chance signing with them.Another player who doesn't want to sign with Carolina. Was Carolina even interested?

I don't know if Mercuri would accept being retrograded to Laval
It was a mercury retrograde joke.He's not a top prospect.
I think he will go to a place where they have a tin prospect pool so he can play
Yeah, liked him in his draft year and thought about him. Injured, but Minnesota think he could be back for the playoffs. Doubt if he’s a winger or center, but i like the russian fellowshipI swear, we need to acquire Danila Yurov in some way or another. He's had a bit of a down season in the KHL so maybe we'd have a shot.
Yurov's basically everything that we'd need to complement Demidov on a line. He has speed, skill, smarts, some pushback when things get physical, and he'd help Demidov feel less isolated in Montreal as a fellow russian.
But yeah, is it very realistic that we acquire Yurov out of the get-go? No.
Minnesoat likely won't trade him.
But I feel that with the seasoning that Yurov has already gotten in the last two years in the KHL that he'd be a good fit with our team as soon as next year.
If I had my way, I'd trade Dach+ (would probably take either ours or Calgary's first) for Yurov.
After which I'd try and sign a stop-gap second-line center and go from there.
And not trading Hage + the other first would still allow us to shore-up our prospect pool. That, or trade some more guys for more proven talent on the defense.
Call me masochist but I would try making a play with Dubois again for second line center. I don't think he would cost that much.
He's a round 6 pick, I don't see why not. Got to make a wage, the AHL is better than the ECHL.I don't know if Mercuri would accept being retrograded to Laval
Yeah they’d be crazy not to run it back with the team they have. Strome, PLD and McMichael down the middle and they are all 27 and younger. They are set.He's going to cost an arm and a leg. He's the number 1 center of the best team in the league.

Thanks for doing the exercise I didn’t want to doWith McDavid offered a max contract, 7 years, $20.8 million per season (with a $104 million salary cap).
Caufield (7.85) McDavid (20.8) Demidov (1.0)
Slafkovsky (7.6) Suzuki (7.88) Newhook (2.9)
Dach (3.0) Evans (2.85) Heineman (2.5)
Anderson (5.5) Beck (.853) Kapanen (.925)
Gallagher (6.5)
Guhle (5.55) Carrier (3.75)
Hutson (9.0) Reinbacher (.918)
Xhekaj (2.5) Struble (2.5)
Engstrom (.897)
Fowler (1.0)
Montembeault (3.15)
Total is $99.43 million, so there would be further room for upgrades if needed (possibly on defence). The season after Gallagher and Anderson are gone freeing up another $12 million (and the cap is supposedly going up another $9.5 million) freeing up space to extend Demidov and Reinbacher and adding Hage on a ELC.
While I fully expect Edmonton will extend McDavid this post also shows that Montreal is in good shape cap wise going forward and can add an elite player.
You can look up the stats all you’d like on Natural Stat Trick. From Dec 15th we are below 50% on every possession, xG and chance metric. We are nowhere near top 10 on any underlying number using that very specific timeframe. If we outplayed opposition, why wouldn’t that translate to chances differential?What are you smoking?

The somewhat funny thing is he's not even playing better stats wise than he did in Winnipeg.Yeah they’d be crazy not to run it back with the team they have. Strome, PLD and McMichael down the middle and they are all 27 and younger. They are set.
Plus if they make him available after one season with the production he’s had, it just means he’s a cancer and no team should want him.
Seems their owner got his 15 min of fun with that kk signing …. But has gone downhill sinceAnother player who doesn't want to sign with Carolina. Was Carolina even interested?
For me I would add the eye test . But hey seem you convinced otherwise , so we can agree to disagreeYou can look up the stats all you’d like on Natural Stat Trick.

Yes don’t know what some are eager to add him on their board .Guhle is going nowhere.
