Thread: load em up
I like the way you thought about it, but it all stands and falls with Panarin signing. Too bad Sharks signed Kane on this huge contract, I remember arguing under some Kane signing A-GM team with a fella who claimed that he deserved it and that the market is set this way. For me comparation point was Pastrnak and given the age and ppg production, it tells me that Kane shouldve been signed for less (well he has physical play, but is inconsistent).

I´m not sure with Karlsson resigning here, and if he stays, I don´t expect him to have such an impact as in Ottawa.

Jones is good goalie, but inconsistent too (especially this year), and Dell is good as backup but when Jones was injured last year and dell had like 7 games in a row, his save percentage dropped, so no he is not a starter for 55+ games.

What is your opinion on Donskoi (especially in comparation to Labanc)? He is a guy worth keeping imo, but it would require more cap.

Thread: Czech NHLers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>Great team. I think this team is very good defensively. Forwards are defensively sound and all of them can defend rather well so I think that defence is not needed to be better. Also Hronek is projecting to be very good top-4 D. Im from Slovakia so I hope this team isnt fully made during worlds because we are going to be ****ed lol

I would do FWD lines like this:

Palat-Krejci-Pastrnak
Hertl-Necas-Voracek
Kaše-Chytil-Zadina
Vrana-Faksa-Frolik
Sobotka-Zacha-Jaskin
Nosek-Kampf-Simon
Hyka-Hanzal-Radil

that is SOLID NHL depth which Im jealous of. We have TATAAAAAAAAAAAR and thats it..</div></div>

Thanks for the comment, I put Jaskin on top line since he and Davids from Boston showed some chemistry on WC this year, Palat is definitely good choice too, but he is injury-prone which affects his consistency imo. I put faith in Hronek too, and i forgot about other young guns like Zboril or Galvas, but they need time, Hronek might get big in 1-2 years.

I did not involve Necas and Zadina because they are not ready for NHL imo (but Necas will be after this season, like Chytil was after last season).

Well Im from Czech rep :D I heard about few Slovakia prospects (Jaros, Cernak, Ruzicka, Studenic) so it might get little better for you soon.

Thread: Krug
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Merkley is an interesting prospect, but here are three reasons why I'm not interested:
1. When a d man puts up that many points in junior and is picked in the 20s, there's a reason for it.
2. With Carlo, mcavoy, Miller, and Zboril (who has frequented the right side), I see no need for a right d.
3. Bergeron, krejci, Marchand, tuukka, and Chara aren't exactly young. This isn't the time to trade for the future. By all means, trade Krug, but do it for an established top six forward with term</div></div>

I think sjs is looking more for offensive assets right now (to replace Thornton/Pavelski) - look what they offered to Tavares and their rumoured interest in Panarin.

About Merkley being draft at 20s, I heard that his attitude might be the problem (but look what they did with E. Kane in sjs), for example Zadina, was supposed to be 3rd or 2nd, ended up 6th, because other teams did not want winger. Edmonton drafted Bouchard because he is more NHL ready than Merkley, so I think these are another reasons why Merkley ended up after 20s.
