COVID is also lingering here as well with all the prospects. How many are behind 1+ yr in development, or will never peak out due to that missed year. Not to mention the lack of in person scouting, etc. Not saying its an excuse, but it does throw a guesstimate factor into the equation for everyone ...

I'll start by saying one of the things I loved about Yzerman in Tampa was that he hit homeruns late in the draft. Gudas - Great 3rd rounder Namestnikov - Solid late round pick with 700 NHL games Kucherov - Hall of Famer at 58. Palat - Valuable top 6er in the 7th round. Vasilevsky - Great pick at 19....

No GM is going to buy out a player and be stuck with 14 years of dead cap space. Possible they could move him without retaining salary if they take a bad contract back.

LA's gonna do that why?

The Leafs twitter wasn't as angry as I thought it was gonna be Saturday night. This must've been a miserable Monday for the city of Toronto. Their fanbase has lost excitement and hope.

Saw somewhere Blake is not buying him out Blake’s probably going down with that deal I mean either way he's fucked. 8.5M over the next 7 years. Or a cap hit between 1.1M-3.8M over the next 14 years. I'd also keep him for now. It's not like he's Abdelkader. Talent is obviously there. They just have ...

First one in awhile. I'm out of the loop Just finished drafting using Draft Prospects Hockey’s NHL Draft Sim. Detroit Red Wings (15) Tij Iginla, C - He's not the nasty guy his dad was, but he's a shooter. (47) John Mustard, C - speedster with hands. Decent size too. (80) EJ Emery, RD - 6'3 defensive...

Yzerman said he believed ASP would be in Sweden for another year.
