I'd loveeeeeeeeeee Draisitl, idc if it sparked a rivalry, I'd offer sheet him if it became a possibility. It's not gonna happen, but I can dream.
We dont have our picks to even consider an offersheet but yoir point makes sense
makes a serious play for Oshie
Do you understand shooting % and regression?
We offer sheet Drai, Edmonton offer sheets Wennberg, Bjorkstrand, Werenski, etc.
Let's not worry about Oshie--my brother is a massive Caps fan and to their knowledge, it sounds like Oshie is all but resigned. That could change, but I am thankful for them likely having that contract rather than us.
He also led the league in shooting % - a career ~13% shooter enjoyed a 23.1% shooting percentage in his age 30 year. A career-average year last year and he nets 19 goals. Do we have the likes of Backstrom, Ovechkin, Williams, Kuzy, etc. to let him enjoy a 23% shooting season again?
There are essentially two active players with career shooting %'s above 15%. So Oshie is certainly above average with a career % around 13%, but he's not going to replicate 23% again.
I truly believe there's no way our first pick in the draft is in the 3rd round.. jarmo will at least move up into the second round. Wouldn't be surprised to see us move up to the 32-38 range.
Agreed. Don't see Jarmo moving up.Honestly, it seems like the talent between the 40-100 range is relatively even. I could see Jarmo staying in the 3rd round.
Agreed. Don't see Jarmo moving up.
So, we still need to re-sign Forsberg but here's the thing - he's no longer waivers-exempt from my understanding. Korpisalo IS, but he's already signed a one-way deal. Plenty of rumors/speculation that Forsberg is a highly-coveted prospect. Do you think we'll be able to send him down after camp without him getting claimed?
There are different rules for goalies but i believe he will be waiver exempt this year
