McDavid is truly the best player in the world, the team around him absolutely stinks. Its even more impressive this season because Draisaitl has been completely coasting so far.
De la Rose was to Montreal what Nick Paul is to Ottawa.
No need for this guy.
Yeah I like him for the bottom 6. 6’3” big thick defence fella. And Swedish.
Not big deal. Although I could see him being useful in Detroit.
That would suck. He is signed to a one way next year.
Some internal discussions had taken place to put in a claim for Conacher because we are so banged up.
Barf.
I love Cory Conacher. One of my favourite guys who has passed through here. I get at this point he's objectively not a full time NHLer, but I'd be thrilled if we claim him.
That would suck. He is signed to a one way next year.

Well... The Lightning seem to value him since they just gave him that deal.
It's possible that if we were to claim him, we'd just be "borrowing" him while some of our guys are injured, and they'd be happy to re-claim him once we're done with him?
$1.025M this yearTeams with money sometimes sign these tweeners to 1 way deals in order to lure them away from other pro leagues where they'd make as much or more than on a 2 way in the AHL. I think they value him as a strong veteran AHL guy who can play in the NHL without screwing up too bad if needed.
I believe teams get up to 950k of cap relief when a player is sent down, so for cap teams a 1 way like Conacher's has no negative cap implications.
I'm assuming this was before Tampa signed him to a 1 year (1-way) extension? You'd have to assume the extra year at NHL money would keep PD/EM away.
He doesn't seem to be anywhere near as good as Dano or JDLR though, so I'm not quite sure what the team is doing.
Same, but hey, he is pretty good eh!I just watched it on DTMTS and it looked like he lost control of it to me.
Want a laugh, go read the Leafs post game thread, epic whining
I really like his game as well.. but if the Sens drafted him over Bowers he'd likely be an Avalanche now.Anaheim got an absolute gem in Comtois, steal in every sense of the word.
Led all Ducks forwards in ice-time on Wednesday, even sitting for 5 minutes for a fight.
Have absolutely loved his game for a while.
cleared. Tampa signing him to that 1 way was likely deterrent enough.It we claim him, there's a good chance he becomes a rental. In a month when we're healthy, Lightning will likely re-claim him from waivers. So, I doubt we have to worry about dressing him in the NHL next season.
