Re: NHL Off-Season News
I agree that Waddell is a moron. But, from Montreal's perspective, 1st and a 3rd from a playoff team is not the best return on a former 3rd overall pick, who has potential to grow into a 40-50 point center in a few years.holytoledo wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 9:43 amWaddell is a moron. Kotkaniemi had a good rookie year but has regressed since. He’s looking a lot like Riley Sheahan career wise. Not worth the $ and not worth the qualifying raise next year. Meanwhile he moved Ned over 500k and got fleeced on Jake Bean.Pop Zeus wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 10:03 pm This is awesome.
But does it make sense for Carolina?
$6M?
Dylan Larkin makes $6M
Larkin 44 games 9-14-23
KK - 56 games 5-15-20
In a lot fewer minutes.
And he is getting closer to 50 percent on faceoffs. And he has some nice playoff numbers.
I like the way he plays.
But $6M for 20 points in 56 games.
If Montreal balks, Carolina owes a first and third.
And Carolina isn't such a lock for the playoffs.
Carolina probably picks at least 15th or later. That’s what makes this a tough call for the Habs. Given this year’s draft class. i’d take my chances on the Canes pick in the lottery on this one though. If Montreal is a playoff team they can use the Canes pick to get Nick Leddy at the deadline.

He signed with an AHL team. 32 NHL teams passed on him, including Detroit.Machine wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 5:13 pmHe thinks it’s going to be easier in Toronto lol ok like you said best of luck to himDuke wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 3:22 pmI was disappointed when it became clear he wasn’t going to sign with us.

Re: NHL Off-Season News
And Montreal turned right around and made a trade with Arizona for Christian Dvorak in exchange for some of the picks they got from Carolina.

Re: NHL Off-Season News
Cholo gets a one-year two way deal with the Kraken. Probably Europe if this doesn't work out?

Re: NHL Off-Season News
He’s getting 130k in the AHL. He’ll probably stay over here a few years and keep trying to make it. He’s a hard worker, probably a good locker room guy, if he doesn’t make it he can probably still carve out a nice career like Lashoff has.Wizard of Corsica wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 5:43 pm Cholo gets a one-year two way deal with the Kraken.
