I wonder how many FA that are still out there have deals in place but are giving a team some time to try to make space etc.?

Looking at the weather network, 28C getting up to 30C.

Highs of 38-39 all week here

Not that this singular view means anything, really, and especially not for a 7-game sample, but found Holl's placement here to be quite interesting.



Still, for a guy that seems to be their version of Tanner Pearson (ie. cap dump that can hopefully be moved without adding an extra asset), maybe there's some value there. Only $2M cap hit for one year (ie. 80% of Tucker Poolman at 1/3 of the remaining term)

Troy Stecher….

I think Holl is a very good player and I'd take him here in an instant.

 

[God]

Poor Stech, although he didn't exactly have the greatest team to play against for this statistic. When you're defending against McDavid it's hard to keep up with his zone entry speed.

 

[M2Beezy]

Yes

 

[DonnyNucker]

Troy Stecher….

Sucks

Every year, there is a dumb toronto scapegoat and that player generally performs well when they move on.

Very good player as in top-4/potential Hughes partner, or as in a good bottom pairing Schenn/Poolman/Burroughs upgrade?

I think you were the one that made the Sopel comparison at some point, and during the Tampa series that felt apt.

But he feels like a hard guy to get a real read on because I wouldn't be suprised at all if a 30-year old defenseman heading into his fourth real NHL season after years in the ECHL and AHL is a bit flash in the pan playing on an elite team. He couldn't crack the roster full-time until he was 28; even Alex Burrows played 81 games in his age 25 season.

 

[AppleHoneySauce]

Why Would you only use the playoffs to prove a point like that? Why not the last 20 or so games. Then everyone has similar game time and a more varied amount of teams.

To me he's a solid mid-pairing RHD on a bargain contract.

He's not an ideal fix or a long-term fix here, but if Toronto is getting rid of him cheap, he would do a pretty nice job patching over the RHD situation for next year.

Klingberg dropped his agent and is now with Newport.

No one is touching his likely retirement contract demands. I bet he re-signs in Dallas or goes somewhere like Seattle for a lot less than expected.

Isnt he essentially, a less physical Tyler Myers..?

Lets replace Myers 2 years left, with a brand new Klingberg 5-6 year deal ..?....smh

I hate Bob McCown but I may have to listen to this myself. From these transcriptions, this is the most decisive Rutherford has been on these subjects.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Pretty much confirms that Miller will be traded at some point as the two sides aren’t close and Rutherford doesn’t think they can bridge the gap.
Hopefully it happens before the season starts.

Here's the link to the interview. It's 52 minutes long. I'll listen to it later.

Far more talented offensively, far less useful defensively.

Wouldn't make sense to acquire for us, unless you really want the highest event pairing in modern NHL history with Hughes - Klingberg lol. Those guys playing 25 minutes a night means games are 5-5

 

[Nucker101]

JR being pretty candid with his answers, especially regarding Miller.

Have to agree..That doesn’t sound optimistic at all.
