Thread: Michkov a year later

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lights</b></div><div>I read that there any confirmation would be made by the end of June. I wouldn't hold my breath though, as it seems some of the speculation was based off of Michkov's contract complexities with his current team due to coaching I think. Interestingly enough part of the reason for Fedotov's big extension was due to Michkov having the same agent (and subsequently getting paid a portion of what Fedotov gets). Flyers definitely are doing a good job of building the right relations, at least from afar.</div></div>

I'm hoping he makes the jump this season. Good story and it's always exciting when an elite prospect begins his NHL career.

Thread: Michkov a year later

still gonna need a lot more firepower around him, and some guys to figure it out and stop being so damn streaky. If Farabee, Frost, Tippett, and Foerster can become more consistent contributors, we might be a playoff team. Then we'll still need more to become a contender.

Thread: Whats the plan

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lights</b></div><div>I just saw some adv stats and it suggested that Krug was better this past season (neither “good” in an objective sense), plus the buyout is shorter.</div></div>

Not at all Krug was so bad that a rookie defensemen in Kessel had to come up and play with him just to save his ass. For example Krug ended a game with 5 points and was still a minus two that game.

Leddy on the other hand played against teams top lines most nights.

Thread: Whats the plan

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lights</b></div><div>lol fair enough. Just wanted to use the remaining cap on some cap dump to justify a buyout.</div></div>

Oh I'm not necessarily against the concept. But the player chosen and the payment are both nah.

Heh. Advanced stats are to maybe add context, not to go straight off of. Leddy was at least B+ this season, and I'd almost nudge him to A-, which is what some of the local writers had him at. Krug was generally a nightmare. He had a few good stretches, but he's a problem. A big problem. And not even really defensively. The cheap giveaways killed us.

Thread: Whats the plan

Definitely not that gift.

Thread: Whats the plan

Plan is the same as last year. Armstrong calls it a "Retool" but I call it a "Quiet Rebuild". Trying to make playoffs for some extra revenue, but stuck between not trying hard enough and not tearing down enough. I doubt much will change - just getting another year closer to the end of some contracts, and integrating some of the younger guys as they become ready.

Unless it's a top pair guy coming in (precursor being one of Leddy/Krug/Faulk moved out somehow) I don't think they'll change the defense. Hopefully they can find a gem or two in the draft and start to plot out the turnover that will happen in 2-3 years.

FWIW I don't think Kapanen is gonna be invited back, I think his spot is going to Marcus Sylvegard who they just signed out of SHL.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 7 at 10:38 a.m.

Thread: Whats the plan

The defense is just atrocious and not much secondary scoring
Krug just cannot play defense anymore.
Faulk dealt with injuries. Could bounce back.
Leddy was solid but ideally not a top pairing LD
Parayko was great and hopefully can be better with a better partner

The likes of Kessel, Perunovich, Tucker needing more minutes but only 2 spots.

For starters, Holl is far from needed so pass. Blues trying to offload a contract or two from the blue line (NOT PARAYKO TORONTO FANS)

i think the plan is next year may be rough, but some of these NTC become M-NTC next offseason, so we should be able to reconstruct the defense at the same time players like Bolduc, Dean, Dvorsky, Snuggy are playing meaningful minutes.
End goal is getting younger while still remaining competitive

Thread: Looking at them

Part of me thinks PLD is just jaded.

The injury thing in the past, watching how Dubinski was treated as well.
Hell all that mess made Torts want to be in the front office. He was sick seeing how things were happening to his guys.
That's why he left CBJ.

But I think there is still a lot of talent there, he's played well in WPG.

I would consider taking him on if his cap hit came down to value. Maybe if LA retained 1.5 mil on him.
That's still better than a buyout for LA.

Thread: Looking at them

Jarnkrok isn't playing centre. It will be Kampf and one of two of Domi and Holmberg. The "fifth" centre will be playing wing But your forward group looks very realistic.
Leafs aren't having 2m vacant cap space.. They will use that for another NHL Dman
Thank you for the 23 man roster.

I think it’s going to be Sanheim Dyrsdale Bonk long term and this year already it’s Sanheim Drysdale Risto so I don’t see how Jokiharju fits especially for a 2nd

Thread: World where Ullmark is dealt

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lights</b></div><div>Def seems like an interesting idea, man the Bruins F depth is crazy at wing</div></div>

Well imagine too I can see sway getting less then what you offered so if he was to 7 mill. That seems to be the consensus number on here, that saves Boston another 1.25 mil. I could also seem the fine running lindholm/lohrei/Wotherspoon and going for a cheaper option like Kulikov for 7D that would save another 2 mill.

Bruins would have another 3.25 mill which puts us over 10.

We could splash on a Reinhart/ guentzel

Thread: World where Ullmark is dealt

Bump Geekie or Freddy potentially down and lysell to 3rd line.
I think I’d rather see holtz on the first line LW and let debrusk play with Marchand still.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>Yeah if Michkov comes you automatically have to trade for 1 of Zegras or Rossi and probably Lundell or Necas too.</div></div>

What would Rossi provide that Frost cannot? Have always seen them as similar. Lundell would be great here…(I think there is a lot more offense there).

Zegras and Michkov on a line would be a highlight reel waiting to happen.

Exactly lol if he is healthy he has value and won’t need to be dumped and if he isn’t healthy he can’t be traded and goes on LTIR so makes no sense

Thread: Whats their plan

I think Pesce would be a good fit, but I’d be weary about how much we’d be paying him. The two year seems fine, but keep in mind within the next four years the following players need to be signed:

- McTavish
- Carlsson
- Zegras
- Gautheir
- Mintyukov
- Zellweger

We should be cautious with our cap right now and not be too hasty on throwing 8+ million dollar contracts out unless it’s for a player who is 1000% making this team better.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr. 19 at 1:13 p.m.

Thread: Whats their plan

I’d be all over that Pesce deal honestly— 2 years is perfect

Fowler Zellweger & LaCombe Gudas as the other pairs

No reason to sign Mantha imo just play a youngster there

agreed. Never know if we'll package those picks for a player or to move up. Exciting times
