Speculation: Who will be the best players on waivers before the season?

[KovalSNIPE]

WOW !!!!..... a little harsh are we not, did he piss in your Cheerios........

He's probably the guy whose gf cheated on him with Johnson...

 

[IranCondraAffair]

thx for the response!

interesting.. I get it they like Mete, but, if you're already overloaded, why re-sign him? kinda .. odd

1. He's a 23 year old RFA.

2. They want to keep him.

Did you watch the finals? Johnson played pretty good and he's no 4th liner

I watched more than just the finals. Tyler Johnson had a lousy season, after a few previously bad seasons showing his regression as an NHL player. A good game here or there doesn’t erase the larger sample size.

TJ Compher has really good games at times. And a whole lot of hollow games. You watch a good one where he scores a big game winner vs Vegas and you say, “he’s awesome”. Well. Is he though? Same thing with Tyler Johnson. He’s not worth anything close to $5mm AAV. He’ll flop in Chicago.

Nope. He’s just not a good NHL hockey player and not worth anything close to his AAV. He’ll be waived again.

Leafs will likely waive Adam Brooks, Joey Anderson, Michael Amadio, Kurtis Gabriel up front.
+ Brennan Menell on defence. Definitely some solid candidates from us.

Oh man... Mikayla Demaiter in shambles.

Any news on Ingram’s performance? Likelihood of waivers?

Connor Ingram stopped 20 of 21 shots in 40 minutes of preseason action on Sunday.

On Thursday made 16 saves on 17 shots playing half the game.

Just know stats, haven't watched him play.

I wonder if Nashville will waive Rittich instead?

He's making it a difficult decision as to who's going to be sent down. I don't think we will or should go with a 3 goalie situation, so it'll be interesting to see if he clears. There are a few teams like Buffalo or Arizona who'd snatch him up in a minute I think.

I’m an Arizona fan.

I’m offering Kessel with max retention.

I’m offering Kessel with max retention.

I'm offering Dell and Skinner with no retention.

How about a 3 way trade?
Buffalo: Ingram
Nashville: Kessel at 25% (money retained by Buffalo)
Arizona: Duchene

Kessel is still good. Had 28g per 82gp pace last season on a trash Coyotes team with no offensive talent. He’s an absolute steal at 3.4aav.

Dell+Skinner would have to have multiple 1st round picks attached to move.

Zero interest is Duchene. Don’t want a wildly overpaid winger signed to multiple years.

Found this thread while I was supposed to be working and thought it was worth a bump, just to show that sometimes people here actually know what they're talking about as quite a few of these players actually hit waivers already
