When Gudas played for the Lightning I thought... he is such a Flyers type player. Then they trade for him

Landeskog suspended 4 games. He won't be in the lineup when we take on the Avalanche on Friday

I think it's a paid subscription, but in The Athletic, Pronman graded or ranked the 2015 draft class.
Is PZ in the Top-25?
I'll bet he has Barzal in the Top-6.
IMO it's still a little too early but guys like Boeser and Barzal are certainly outperforming players drafted much higher at this point.

It wasn't an individual ranking, it was giving teams an overall grade for the draft. He gave us a B, saying Zacha wouldn't go that high in a re-draft, but is a fine young player who will breakthrough at the NHL level eventually.
The Rangers got the only F of any of the teams he ranked.

A-, A-, A-, B-, A
He had 20 teams graded a B- or better, so there wasn't a lot of separation between teams. Only 3 teams received grades lower than a C (Chicago and Montreal both had a D, the Rangers the lone F).

LOL at the Rags.
Philly and NYb had strong drafts getting 2 1st round picks each and two of them are already stars in Ivan and Barzal.
Cbj got Werenski who would be a godsend on this current Devils team.

He would add depth while Mueller is out but he's had a terrible season thus far.
The 29th Pick
Still Alive !
How is it here on HF that we would pass on 1 yr left on 25 yo Alex Petrovic from Fla at $1.85M and stand pat on Ben LJ (33yr old 2 yrs left @ $2.7) or consider signing KQ (33 yr old) back at $1.25M?

Because we could pick up Quincey for free, he is a cheap stopgap LD, and we would have to give up assets for Petrovic most likely and he is a RD. And I do like Petrovic. Also LJ sucks but you cant get rid of him that easy.
Eat 50% of LJ for Petro. He has fallen out of favor in Fla. Its bad asset for bad asset, so scenery change for both. Don't get me wrong I know LJ stinks but at 50 off? If Petro sucks at seasons end, bye! Quincey is free but isn't he just LJ?
I had mentioned here 10 days ago and its was snuffed out. At least Petro is big and throws it around, my point is, cant be much worse.
And we free ourselves of last yr of LJ!

They'd have to eat Prout's salary and waive him to pick up Quincey unless they want to do 8 D again which makes little sense since Prout's fallen out of the rotation.
Why bother to eat 50% of Lovejoy's salary now in a negative trade when you can just ride him out on the third pairing and then buy him out at the end of the year? It's not like Quincey's THAT much better than Lovejoy where they have to shoehorn him in at all costs. Heck if you want to bench Lovejoy I'd rather have him as the #7D than Prout anyway.

Yeah, let's stay away from retreads like Quincey. If we had Seth Helgeson on the roster right now and playing nightly, I'd be all for snagging Quincey off of waivers. We don't have Seth Helgeson on the roster right now and the only guy that's probably definitely worse than Quincey is now, is permanently a healthy scratch anyway.

I may be a bit late but I just saw this.I feel for him having to be force to hanging it up over an injury and the fact he seemed to be playing good this year.

You guys ever look back and feel bad for a player like Zach?
He really has had just s rough go at it since he left. Career took a bit of a nosedive.

Yeah I do. Was a bit upset that he left the way he did, but hate to see injuries hamper someone's career.

No. He chased the money and while I don't blame him, I can't feel bad for him.
