Kap hat trick alert?

Parise is on it!

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Fiala is doing his best to come in at a low AAV

 

[MK9]

I know it's been years, so maybe I'm only remembering the last year or two Gaborik was here. But, even in his prime, I don't remember him being close to as much fun to watch as Kaprizov.

 

[Betelgeuse]

KAPRIZZYYYY

 

[Val]

Repeat by Kaprizov!! We want more

I'm pretty baffled right now as to what he's going to come in at. I can't imagine another bridge happening.

Fiala trade for a top center coming up

Gabby was the most fun to watch when he got some space to fire up the jets. Even if he was well behind our own blueline, if he got clearance, that's when butts would quickly move to the edge of their seats. He could go from 0 to 60....jersey flapping. And he had a quick shot as well.

But Kap is a whole other beast. He has more tools in the box. Sexy tools.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Wow, was that a dive.

I’m not sure if I’d be very comfortable giving him a long-term deal at $6M honestly. I understand where Nashville fans were coming from with the inconsistencies in his game. I know he doesn’t have a top-end center to play with, but that’s not hindering Kap.

 

[NHL1674]

No. He was simply trying to bow down to Kaprizov.

And it didn't hinder him last year.

I'm wondering if medium term at reasonable money is the way to go. Get him to 28/29 years old where he can have another good contract if it's a good 4 years for him, but the average is in the high 4's or low 5's.

Agreed

I have never understood the idea of standing around without a stick instead of skating to the bench to get a new one. How effective is a player without a stick?

 

[keppel146]

I’d really like a center who could win some draws

Yup. Gaborik was a Ferrari but he could only do Ferrari things. Kap appears to have every style as you mention.

 

[NHL1674]

TALBOT!!!

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I think he gets underrated as a passer nowadays.

 

[Mookie Blaylock]

Nice to see Talbot have a good game. Nice goalie tandem this year.

 

[Prior]

Geometry skills

 

[NHL1674]

Yahtzee!!!

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

If Parise sat for his empty net thing, Bjugstad probably should too.

Yay.

Brodin too good.
