Heard the Caps and Coyotes are working on a deal to flip first round picks. Probably depends on Michkov being available at 6.

Wtf?

That’s robbery. Retaining 50%? Is there something I’m missing

Nash looking to make a splash on a scoring forward I assume. Trotz mentioned they wanted to add a star player on the offensive side a few weeks ago

Good idea for Arizona. They're probably looking at defense with their top 10 pick and believe their guy will be there at 8.

Durzi to the Yotes. Good to see some trades going down. Hope the draft is fun.

The Coyotes actually trading a draft choice and not getting one back.

This must be a bizarro world.

Johansen, with his contract, has negative value.

Wow I didn't even see this yesterday.. that's incredibly disappointing the Rangers couldn't get in on that Johansen deal. I wouldve gladly beat giving them a minor leaguer for a top 6 player at 50% (4 mil per) for 2 years. What a shame. Would've been phenomenal center depth, 1 of them shift over to RW. Could've filled a big hole

 

[I Eat Crow]

Dubois to LA looking close. Good, maybe the links to the Rangers will finally stop.

Wanted no part of PLD.

With what money?

Is also nothing special.

I’m not sure he’s a top-6 player.

Krug is refusing to waive his NTC to go to Philly, lol. I saw Friedman tweet about it.

He would still cost $4M and be the 4th best center on the team.

For anybody wondering. Ryan Johansen is not even close to the same player he was a few years ago that most here are probably remembering. He was getting bought out of Colorado didn’t come to the table with a trade.

Does he bounce back? Maybe. Am I again bumping Chytil, Laf, or Kakko down the lineup and hoping so? Nope.

Sure.. its also irrelevant if you actually read what I posted. Johansen has played RW, Trocheck is good at RW.. both are 2 of the best in the league on faceoffs. Staple one next to Chytil and let them take the important faceoffs. Someone shifts to the right side.

He's had some up and down years recently. But that question was more so answered last year when he put up another +60 point season. This year he's coming off an injury shortened season on a Nashville team where the leading scorer had 59 points. There's 2 open spots in our top 9. He's still a talented player, at 4 million its a no brainer

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Dylan McIlrath is a more successful captain than Trouba.

Has anyone actually watched him lately? Has he improved? Would he be worth checking out as a depth guy?

Hello from Pride 2023.

The Devils and Islanders are here.

That is all.

He has not had a good year in 5 years unless you want to count 21-22 where he scored a lot because he shot 22% (career average 11%) and had a lot of points on the PP which is not relevant since he would not be PP1 here. 18-19 is his only season since 2016 where he scored at a strong 2nd line level at 5v5. He also absolutely never shoots so he would be a terrible fit on a line with Panarin.
