Are you assuming Buch is in the AHL?

In June, a man can dream

Are you assuming Buch is in the AHL?

Truth be told, I forgot him when throwing this together

 

[silverfish]

28, no offense, couldn't get minutes for Calgary last season, 28 NHL games in his career, no thanks. You are relying way too much on advanced stats for this one.

Gotta find steals with upside somehow.

It's a small sample size, but silverfish is talking about bringing him in as a 6/7D. That's the type of signing we need.

Yep.

Does he skate well? Good puck skills? Good passer? Good shot? Good hockey sense? Good without the puck? Does anyone actually have a scouting report on him and why he didn't play for the Flames last season?

He didn't play because it was his first NA season and the Flames had 6D set. He got called up, never looked back, and saw a constant increase in ice time.

Well part of the reason is because they already had Brodie/Hamilton/Giordano/Wideman/Engelland/Russell for most of the year. Not exactly like there was a spot open there. Not too dissimilar to McIlrath or Sjkei here.

Yep.

No. He was traded the 2nd week of the season for Shane Doan.

Is there any word on Calgary re-signing him?

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Cap set at 73 million:

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

No. He was traded the 2nd week of the season for Shane Doan.

You are forgetting the 2017 first round pick the Rangers included in the deal as well.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Must have heard me complaining 15 minutes ago that there was no announcement.

 

[New York RKY]

You are forgetting the 2017 first round pick the Rangers included in the deal as well.

If that was a bern proposal we wouldn't have a first round pick for the next 7 years.

 

[aufheben]

If that was a bern proposal we wouldn't have a first round pick for the next 7 years.

I mean we're already 4 years in.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

If that was a bern proposal we wouldn't have a first round pick for the next 7 years.

If it were a Bern proposal the Rangers would trade their first with Buch to acquire the other teams first, only to trade that newly acquired first in another trade. Then repeat and repeat again!

 

[RangerBoy]

The only thing left is the announcement for expansion should come tomorrow morning. Well morning in Las Vegas. The expansion draft rules will be officially released.

Then it's time for

 

[SA16]

If that was a bern proposal we wouldn't have a first round pick for the next 7 years.

Actually I thought in his latest proposal we were getting like the 1st overall pick and then sending it to Arizona for like 7 first round picks or something?

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

I mean we're already 4 years in.

Stop! That means Bern could be right. Then the world as we know it will never be the same. Up will be down, day will be night. Shnozberries will not taste like Shnozberries.

 

[RangerBoy]

The NHL gave a $74.5M number in December. They lowered it to $74M. It ended up at $73M instead of $69.5M without the 5%.

Gorton has more room to retain money to move a player or two.

Just curious, what moves would you want to see them do? Which young players would you like to add to the system?

 

[RangerBoy]

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

They haven't released the expansion draft rules yet though. I'm assuming that will be coming tomorrow at some point.

 

[Irishguy42]

Let the mayhem begin. The cap is known. GMs likely know expansion is happening.

 

[FLYLine27*]

 

[SA16]

It is known

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Hopefully Girardi and Staal are the first to be eliminated from the hunger games.
