Edmonton a acquis Connor Murphy de CHI (retient 50%) du salaire vs 2nd 2028

Honnêtement j'aurais vu Murphy a droite a MTL surtout au prix paye.

[et voir le club l'an prochain faire ce qu'il fait PRÉSENTEMENT]

Pour débuter ... je suis très heureux pour les fans du CH ( sûrement 85% sont heureux des résultats )

et c'est SUPER , ce club joue du maudit bon hockey présentement

le hic de mon côté ( c'est bien personnel car sur 20 personnes , y en aura 20 qui auront une vision différente sur les joueurs , sur le futur du club  ou

ce qu'ils aimeraient voir comme stratégie pour la reconstruction
------------------------------------------------------------------
je fais partie de la minorité qui aurait préférer une DERNIÈRE année nveau DRAFT , plus importante ( un top 5 ou dans le pire un top 7-8 )
et voir le club l'an prochain faire ce qu'il fait PRÉSENTEMENT  , pour moi cela aurait été parfait dans mon cas

environ 85/90% des fans du CH croit que les FLAMES donneront eux aussi un choix IMPORTANTS genre 13/18e , moi je suis loin de pensée que les FLAMES et leur gardiens qui fait sans cesse des miracle vont tenir le coup ... une petite série de 6 ou 7 défaites en 10 games et il repêcheraient 10e fort probablement , ce qui ferait TRÈS mal aux CH si cela ce produit ( obliger de prendre le choix des PANTHERS qui eux risquent de faire le carré d'as encore cette année )

le CH a une faiblesse ÉVIDENTE au CENTRE et ce temps et aussi longtemps que DACH sera pas une valeur sûr ( sans oublier qu'il pourrait être blesser encore et encore dans le futur )

Si CALGARY plante et se ramasse 10e , le CH aura que SON choix qui pourrait être un 14/15e + le choix de FLO #29 à 32e

genre de choix qui pour les 2 si un peu malchanceux , pourraient être 2 flops ou pas loin

OUI je sais très bien que d'avoir les choix (exemple) 6 CH et 15 CAL n'est pas garantis d'être mieux mais c'est GARANTI ,  que tes chances sont pas mal meilleurs de réussir avec des 6 et 15 que des 15 et 30

Évidemment , même être le DG du CH j'oserais imposé des situations NÉGATIVE à MSL pour que le club est moins de chance de gagner mais malheureusement  , cela veut *peut-être* dire que la saison 2024-25 pourrait être la saison qui a fait déraper la reconstrution soit de 20 - 30 - 40% peut-être

il reste 14 games avant le deadline ?? HUGHES et GORTON auront un méchant beau casse tête , vendeur ou statu-quo ou acheteur

mais y reste 14 games , plus le CH s'éloignera des séries d'ici là moins le casse tête sera gros
mais si le CH est à 2/3pts des séries OUPSSS , ça risque de chauffé et ce peut-importe qu'ils vendent ou achètent ou bouge pas

certain dirait MAUDIT incompétant de HUGHES , il aide même pas ses gars et MSL
certain dirait MAUDIT incompétant de HUGHES , il pourrait vendre des UFA mais il le fait pas et va les perdrent pour RIEN
certain diront MAUDIT incompétant de HUGHES , peut-importe ce qu'il fera ou ne fera pas

et ce serait NORMAL ... et contrairement aux médias etc , ce sont pas des BI-POLAIRE mais des personnes qui ont LEURS manières de voir les choses avec des bon et des mauvais côtés ou point de vue

depuis TOUJOURS ce fameux mot BI-POLAIRE est employée de manière STUPIDE par les médias etc

exemple simple .... 22,000 personnes sont aux 2 matchs du CH à domicile dans la fin de semaine du 0X/0x/20XX

le samedi le CH gagne 4-1 et PRICE réussit 2/3 gros arrêts , la foule ( 8/9,000) se lèvent pour l'applaudir WOWWWWWWWW

le dimanche le CH en début de 3e période tirent de l'arrière 4-0 , PRICE fait un arrêt de routine et la foule ( 4/5,000) crie HOUUUUU HOUUUUU ou CHOUUUUUU

le lendemain les médias traitent les fans qui étaient au forum de BIPOLAIRE et portant c'était justement pas le cas

sur 22,000 --> 8,000 capotent sur PRICE à 200% , 9,000 l'haissent pas mais vont peut-être suivre la vague pour le plaisir  mais aussi , 3/4,000 qui eux l'aiment pas pentoute et ce , y compris des fans qui ne sont pas des fans du CH même si du monde du Québec/ MTL

c'esrt pourquoi , il y aura toujours PLUS de GOOOO GOOOO GOOOOO  pour le positif que de HOUUUU HOUUUUU HOUUUU pour le négatif

mais y a pasbeaucoup  de fan bipolaire réellement sauf , un 10/15% qui écoute les LAJOIE de ce monde donc , eux vont faire comme le gros gras , ils vont suivrent leur CHUM  JiC ,  qui lui est vire capot au gré des victoires ou peformances de X ou Y équipes ou joueurs ou situation

P.S. IDÉALEMENT pour MOI bien sûr
le CH aurait terminer 28e et aurait eu de très bonnes chances de gagné une des 2 loteries
juste imaginer le CH avec 2 jeunes comme SCHAEFER et BEAR ou DESNOYERS

[LEVSHUNOV est diponible au 5e rang ....le CH le repêche vous dites quoi ?]

la question est simple ....même si ce joueur à très très peu de chance d'être disponible au 5e rang



LEVSHUNOV est diponible au 5e rang ....le CH le repêche vous dites quoi ?

Peut-être qu'un jour il battra le roi des stéroïdes YRIY SEDYKH mort y 2 ans à 66 ans

[MACKLIN CELEBRINI]

10 TOP PROSPECTS TO WATCH FOR THE 2024 NHL DRAFT
Celebrini or Eiserman? Does someone else force their way into the conversation for the No. 1 pick? Connor Earegood looks at the top prospects for the 2024 NHL draft.
CONNOR EAREGOOD     JUL 11, 2023

As was widely expected, Connor Bedard crossed the 2023 NHL draft stage as the No. 1 overall pick. But hey, that's old news.

Now that hockey fans are turning their attention to the 2023-24 season, it's time to talk about the young players who could be stocking NHL prospect cupboards a year from now.

So without further ado, here are 10 names – listed in approximate order – that NHL draft experts and amateur scouts alike have circled as players to watch this upcoming season.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

1. MACKLIN CELEBRINI, C (BOSTON UNIVERSITY, NCAA)

Rookie of the year. Forward of the year. Player of the year. Last season, Canadian center Macklin Celebrini took the USHL by storm. As the current favorite to be the first overall pick in 2024, he's got high-end skating paired with great hockey sense to maximize the ensuing separation. He also plays a 200-foot game, which mitigates his risk factors at the next level. Much like his skating, Celebrini's on a quick development path and is expected to join Boston University this season, which opens up the possibility that he could jump straight to the NHL in 2024-25.

2. COLE EISERMAN, LW (U.S. NTDP, USHL)

No, not Yzerman. This Eiserman is less a two-way forward than a true-blue goal-scorer. He lit the lamp 69 times in 62 games for the USA Hockey National Team Development Program last season, the only player to ever accomplish the feat. There is the question, however, as to Eiserman's effectiveness when his stick goes cold. But his kind of scoring is expensive anywhere but the draft, and that means teams will be thrilled to invest in him.

3. IVAN DEMIDOV, RW/C (SKA-1946 ST. PETERSBURG JR., RUS.)

Demidov set a record for points in an MHL season as a 17-year-old with 64. His 1.45 points-per-game pace trailed recent No. 7 overall pick Matvei Michkov's 1.82 at 17 years old, but it's still impressive considering Demidov joined Russia's top junior league as a 15-year-old in 2021-22. Think of this feat as similar to Celebrini's dominance in the USHL. The next step is bringing his defense up to the same level.

4. SAM DICKINSON, D (LONDON, OHL)

Dickinson didn't light the OHL on fire with his scoring – with just 23 points in 62 games – but he's mobile, comfortable with the puck and shows poise in his own end. He plays well with the puck, though he may not be the type of visionary playmaker that one can expect to quarterback a power play or score a nifty end-to-end goal.

5. ARTYOM LEVSHUNOV, D (GREEN BAY GAMBLERS, USHL)

A two-way defenseman with a speedy stride, Levshunov could've played major junior last season if not for the ban on Belarussian and Russian prospects for the 2022 CHL import draft. USHL Green Bay picked him up, and he tallied an impressive 42 points in 62 games. Expect him to be one of the first defensemen off the board in 2024.

6. ARON KIVIHARJU, D (HIFK, FIN.)

No Finns were drafted in the first round this year, but Kiviharju is expected to keep it at a one-year drought. It's rare for a 16-year-old to play in the world juniors, especially for an identity-over-talent program like Finland, but that's what Kiviharju did in the 2023 tournament. Once there, he got into three games and collected a pair of assists. It's also rare for a player Kiviharju's age to play a top-four role at various points in the Liiga with TPS last season. Those accomplishments have scouts excited about what Kiviharju could develop into.

7. ADAM JIRICEK, D (HC PLZEN, CZE.)

The younger brother of Blue Jackets prospect, David, Adam is a right-handed defenseman from Czechia. His game is built off of two-way play and skating, and he's shown that he can light up his age group to the tune of 29 points in 41 games. However, he has comparatively struggled when called up to Czechia's top pro league. If Jiricek can replicate his age-group success against bigger, faster and stronger competition in the men's league this coming season, he could be one of the top names out of Europe next June.

8. KONSTA HELENIUS, RW (JUKURIT, FIN.)

As the Liiga's youngest player last season – Kiviharju was born in January 2006, Helenius in May – Helenius put up 11 points in 33 games for Jukurit and dominated at both under-17 and under-18 international play, becoming one of Finland's best forwards at both levels. Helenius now has to prove that he can translate the lessons he learned last season into tangible improvement in his draft year. Scouts will want to see him execute high-level plays and maximize difficult scoring chances, more comparable to the type made at the NHL level.

9. COLE HUTSON, D (U.S. NTDP, USHL)

Whatever the Hutson family is doing, it's working. You probably know Cole's brother, Lane, thanks to his starring role with Frozen Four team Boston University and lofty position in the Montreal Canadiens' prospect pool. Cole fits many of the same traits, with hockey IQ to make use of his creativity and puck skill. That's got lots of eyes on him, and he's been turning heads despite being undersized at 5-foot-8.

10. TANNER HOWE, LW (REGINA, WHL)

NHL teams got plenty of looks at Howe when they scouted his linemate and 2023 top pick Bedard. But Howe is more than just a sidekick – he outthinks his opponents and understands how to advance play with the puck. Next season, he'll focus on keeping up his production without a generational center driving play. If he can do that, he should make an NHL team very happy at the draft.


Other first-round candidates to watch:

Berkly Catton, C (Spokane, WHL)    Zayne Parekh, D (Saginaw, OHL)     Zeev Buium, D (NTDP, USHL)     Will Skahan, D (NTDP, USHL)     
Sacha Boisvert, C (Muskegon, USHL)     Kristian Epperson, LW (NTDP, USHL)     Michael Hage, C/RW (Chicago, USHL)     Mac Swanson, C (Fargo, USHL)

[choix #8 + Zachary Bolduc]

Après la loterie , le CH a le choix #5
lors du draft
BEDARD - FANTILLI - CARLSSON et SMITH  sont les 4 premiers sortis

quand le tour du CH arrive , il y a MICHKOV bien sûr mais aussi , une proposition des BLUES

leur choix #8 + Zachary Bolduc en retour de ce choix #5

le faites vous ?? ??

le CH aurait également le choix #15 ( FLO ) par la suite et les autres plus tard

[#1 CORONATO]

Admettons que HU-GO transige avec CALGARY pour X ou Y joueur et que pour compléter le deal ,
il a le choix parmi ses 3 possibilités qui lui sont offertes

quel serait votre choix ? #1 CORONATO , #2 PELLETIER ou le #3 1RD 2023  ( top 10 protéger )

[DUO HU-GO]

Pour faire simple ... ces 2 clubs devraient être ciblés par le DUO HU-GO pour obtenir leur choix de 1rd

évidemment les YOTES surtout , devraient eux aussi être dans ce genre de recherche

ces 2 clubs ( PENS - BOLTS ) auront aucun choix de 2 et 3rd en juin prochain


leurs meilleurs choix de ces 2 clubs

PENS ---> 21e et 116e  choix (env.)
BOLTS --> 24e et 108e  choix (env.)

le CH lui 2e - 29 - 35 - 52 - 66 - 75 - 92 - 98  ( tous environ , la saison est pas terminer hein ..)

que pourrait donner HU-GO à ces clubs pour obtenir leur 1rd ( évidemment si 1 ou les 2 clubs font le carré d'as ) oublier ça

évidemment ou possiblement  , le duo va bouger sûrement des choix de 3 - 4 - 5e ronde ( certains de ceux là ) , ils en ont trop mais c'est mineur comme moove versus un choix de 1rd ... à moins de réussir certain échange de choix TARDIF AVANT le début du DRAFT ( ce qui est très rare )

y a également certains jeunes qui pourraient eux aussi , se greffé à ses choix de repêchage pour amélioré les rangs de sélection du CH sans oublier les choix de 2023 comme atout/ajout supplémentaire qui pourraient être en demande




P.S. possibilité d'erreur de ma part niveau ordre de repêchage , si tel est le cas désoler

Pour s'amuser un peu ...si draft était dans 2 semaines

et le CH repêcherait 3e ( descendu au draft d'1 position car terminer 31e) ensuite choix #26 (CALGARY s'est fait avoir en 2e ronde ) et ensuite au rang #34

Canadiens Montréal
@CanadiensMTL
Les Canadiens n'égaleront pas l'offre hostile des Hurricanes déposée à Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Montréal recevra les choix de 1er et 3e tours de la Caroline au Repêchage 2022 en compensation.

[1. ALEX OVECHKIN, LW, 35]

1. ALEX OVECHKIN, LW, 35
2020-21 cap hit: $9,538,462

Hard to believe he's concluding his 13-year, $124-million pact. It's finally time. Ovechkin has already expressed his desire to finish his NHL career as a Capital and then play his final pro-hockey season with his hometown club: Dynamo Moscow of the KHL. We know he'll be back with the Caps next season. It's just a matter of whether he signs a short- or long-term deal. As Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported a couple weeks back, most people around the league believe the Ovechkin extension is already "in the drawer."

2. DOUGIE HAMILTON, D, 28
2020-21 cap hit: $5,750,000

In the past four seasons, no defenseman has scored more goals than Hamilton – despite him missing significant time with a broken leg last season. The old guard may not like his body language or off-ice interests – LOL, says the new guard – but he's a top-tier puck mover and play driver who has great size and a right-handed shot. He has begun the negotiation process with multiple teams and would have a shot to command an AAV north of $8 million on the open market. It'll come down to whether he chases the money or prefers a comfortable situation playing on a Stanley Cup contender in Carolina.

3. GABRIEL LANDESKOG, LW, 28
2020-21 cap hit: $5,571,429

Landeskog is the anti-Hamilton in that old-school hockey thinkers love Landeskog. Some league executives still talk about how impressed they were with his scouting interviews leading up to the 2011 draft. He's a revered, heart-and-soul captain who blends top-line scoring touch with bruising physical play. He recently expressed his "disappointment" that he's so close to making it to market. That certainly doesn't sound like someone who has a handshake deal in place for after the expansion draft. The Avs would be ill advised to let their captain make it to free agency and incite a bidding war.

4. TAYLOR HALL, LW, 29
2020-21 cap hit: $8,000,000


Hall's one-and-done Sabres tenure played out as a true worst-case scenario, but the home stretch and playoffs in a Bruins uniform were vital to restoring his value as he found a nice groove playing on the second line with David Krejci and Craig Smith. Given Hall's upside and that he remains on the right side of 30, he'll have suitors if he goes to market. He's already been "linked to the Toronto Maple Leafs," if you believe that's anything more than just posturing from agent Darren Ferris, but Hall is more likely to take a discount, stay in Boston and pursue a championship.

5. PHILIPP GRUBAUER, G, 29
2020-21 cap hit: $3,333,333

Talent was never in question for Grubauer. He delivered a tremendous "put it all together" season for the Avalanche and has the fifth-highest save percentage in NHL history among goalies with at least 100 games played. The key was to prove he could stay healthy and, while he did land on the COVID-19 list, he avoided injury in 2020-21. With Landeskog a UFA and RFA blueliner Cale Makar needing an extension, the question is whether Grubauer priced himself out of Colorado with a season in which he finished third in the Vezina Trophy vote.

6. ZACH HYMAN, LW, 29
2020-21 cap hit: $2,250,000

Hyman produced at a career-best rate just in time for his next contract. He is an even-strength scoring dynamo who contributes in many different situations. His numbers get puffed up playing with great scorers, sure, but he fills an important role on those lines with his puck-retrieval skills. Playing on such a high-profile team, he's maxed out his value to the point he might command $6 million or more per season. The gap between his asking price and what the Leafs are willing to pay is large enough that Toronto has granted Hyman's agent Todd Reynolds permission to approach other teams about acquiring Hyman's negotiating rights before July 28.


7. PHILLIP DANAULT, C, 28
2020-21 cap hit: $3,083,333

Danault is one of the top two-way forwards in the business, capable of shutting down elite forwards while still driving the play on a scoring line. He reportedly turned a six-year, $30-million offer from the Habs before the 2020-21 season but, with his offense disappearing, he may want to ask if that deal is still on the table. He showed during Montreal's run to the Stanley Cup final that he's still a crucial part of the team's puzzle, erasing opponents' top forwards. He expressed after the season that he understands how he fits into the lineup now.

8. TYSON BARRIE, D, 30
2020-21 cap hit: $3,750,000

Seventh in points among NHL defensemen since his breakout 2013-14 campaign. Barrie, a power-play specialist, was set up nicely to post massive contract-year numbers in Edmonton, and that's exactly what's happened. But do the Oilers need to bring him back? They were already a powerhouse power-play team before he signed, and he's a bit of a drag on their defensive play. They've also just committed an additional $5.5 million in cap space to Keith.

9. BLAKE COLEMAN, LW, 29
2020-21 cap hit: $1,800,000

Coleman can play center or the wing, he kills penalties, he forechecks aggressively and, don't forget, on a team that needs him to play bigger minutes, he can score 20 goals. The only problem is that, after playing an important role on consecutive Stanley Cup champions in Tampa, his value has exploded to the point it may require an overpay to land him.


10. DAVID KREJCI, C, 35
2020-21 cap hit: $7,250,000

Brings so much experience in the regular season and playoffs as the Bruins' longtime No. 2 center, and he showed how impactful he can still be once they gave him proper second-line wingers to play with this past season. The Bruins are waiting to see if Krejci decides to return to the Czech Republic for 2021-22. If he plays in the NHL next season, it's likely for Boston.

11. JADEN SCHWARTZ, LW, 29
2020-21 cap hit: $5,350,000

Schwartz is ready to cash in as a top-six forward who doesn't excel in any one area but does a lot of things well and is tenacious for his size. It's just never a given that Schwartz plays a full schedule, however. He's missed double-digit games in four of his past six seasons.

12. KYLE PALMIERI, RW, 30
2020-21 cap hit: $4,650,000

Averaged 30 goals per 82 games in his first five seasons as a Devil. That appears to be Palmieri's ceiling, but it's a highly useful ceiling. He endured a bad year, but it was likely the product of (a) playing with less help in New Jersey before his trade to the New York Islanders and (b) an unlucky shooting percentage of 6.5. Perhaps that'll make him a bargain signing this off-season. His goal-scoring place in the 2021 playoffs pro-rated to his usual 30 goals per 82 games, FYI.

13. RYAN SUTER, D, 36
2020-21 cap hit: $7,538,462

Upon learning of his shocking buyout, Suter hung up on Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin, but Suter should be back on the phone soon fielding offers from contenders. He's not the all-around dominator he was in his prime, especially on the defensive side of the puck, but he could still provide useful middle-pair help on a contender and might only cost half his Minnesota AAV.


14. BRANDON SAAD, LW, 28
2020-21 cap hit: $6,000,000

Saad is attractive for teams wanting him to fill the same role he did in Colorado this past season: a win-now piece, responsible at both ends of the ice, fast, able to play in the middle six and contribute decent goal totals. He got 16 this season in 43 games while playing just 14 minutes or so per night, but that's a trap: his shooting percentage was unsustainable at a league-leading 22.1, almost double his career mark of 11.9.

15. ALEC MARTINEZ, D, 34
2020-21 cap hit: $4,000,000

Wow. What a year. Martinez, who has profiled as more of a two-way defenseman for most of his career, produced by far the best offensive numbers of his career just in time for a new contract. A personal-best season at 33 makes him a risky signing at 34 if any suitor is banking on repeat numbers.

16. TUUKKA RASK, G, 34
2020-21 cap hit: $7,000,000

The rise of prospect Jeremy Swayman pushes one of Rask and Jaroslav Halak out. Odds are it's Halak. Rask only wants to play in Boston and won't return to game action until winter 2022 after undergoing hip surgery. He'll thus never come cheaper. Disclaimer: he'd be ranked at least 10 spots higher on this list if he was healthy.

17. ADAM LARSSON, D, 28
2020-21 cap hit: $4,166,666

Gradually, Larsson has realized his promise as a defensive defenseman, and he delivered the best season of his career in 2020-21, playing an ornery game, sacrificing his body. The Oilers might be best off keeping him. He's become an important player for them. He's a strong bet to re-sign, but it'll likely happen after the expansion draft at this point since the Oilers no longer have an available protection spot to use on him after acquiring Keith.


18. NICK FOLIGNO, LW, 33
2020-21 cap hit: $5,500,000

He was entrenched in the Columbus community thanks to his charity work and role as Blue Jackets captain. Does that mean he'll return there after his stint as a trade-deadline rental with the Leafs? It depends on how badly Foligno craves a Stanley Cup run, as Columbus appears to be trending toward a rebuild.

19. MIKAEL GRANLUND, LW, 29
2020-21 cap hit: $3,750,000

Granlund may never reach the ceiling he was projected to have when he ripped up the Finnish Liiga a decade ago, but that's OK. He's still a skilled top-six forward who makes an underrated defensive impact. His most useful trait is his versatility. He can play any forward position if needed.

20. TOMAS TATAR, LW, 30
2020-21 cap hit: $5,300,000

The idea of Habs GM Marc Bergevin "having to choose" between Danault and Tatar is a distant memory. Tatar endured the worst season of his career and only dressed for five playoff games. With Montreal extending coach Dominique Ducharme's contract, that's it for Tatar as a Hab. Each game he sat in the playoffs felt like it eroded a few more bucks off his value. It was terrible timing from his perspective, but it could make him a nice bargain. He was an elite play driver for multiple seasons playing with Danault and Brendan Gallagher. Tatar is hardly finished.

21. DAVID SAVARD, D, 30
2020-21 cap hit: $4,250,000

He's big, rugged, shoots right-handed and was generally underrated as a shutdown defenseman, having spent his career in a relatively small market before Columbus dealt him to Tampa Bay at the deadline. He got better as the playoffs progressed and proved to literally be a "guy you win with." He's far less under the radar with the championship glow on him now.

22. ALEX GOLIGOSKI, D, 35
2020-21 cap hit: $5,475,000

He's durable, he plays 22 minutes a night, he moves the puck pretty well...he's just a safe veteran pickup at this stage of his career, even if it's on a short-term deal.

23. MIKE REILLY, D, 28
2020-21 cap hit: $1,500,000

Reilly was a bright spot on a rebuilding Ottawa Senators team this past season, forming a net-positive pair with rookie Artem Zub, and Reilly was an extremely useful trade-deadline acquisition for the Bruins as a left-shot puck-mover. He felt more like a fringe NHLer a few years ago but has established himself as a legitimate UFA target.

24. PAUL STASTNY, C, 35
2020-21 cap hit: $6,500,000

Getting long in the tooth, but he still has a skill set plenty of teams need: intelligent, good on faceoffs, can center a scoring line and, as he's shown this year, can transition successfully to the left wing as well.

25. JAMIE OLEKSIAK, D, 28
2020-21 cap hit: $2,137,500


Sometimes big defensemen take longer to find themselves in the NHL, and Oleksiak, who carries first-round draft pedigree, fits the bill. He was much improved in his second stint with Dallas, using his strength effectively while also showcasing good mobility for a man his size.

26. RYAN MURRAY, D, 27
2020-21 cap hit: $4,700,000

Tough year for all Devils players, but Murray is still relatively young for a UFA, has a recent history as a respectable defensive defenseman and can skate. On a better team, he could be a handy middle-pair option.

27. KEITH YANDLE, D, 34
2020-21 cap hit: $6,350,000

Given his strained relationship with the new Panthers regime, Yandle clearly wasn't part of the franchise's long-term plans, and he wasn't about to do Florida a solid and waive his no-movement clause before the expansion draft, so the buyout makes sense. He's not what he was in his prime, but if he's used for sheltered third-pair duty and power-play work, he could still be a relative bargain. Think 2019-20 Kevin Shattenkirk.

28. BARCLAY GOODROW, RW, 28
2020-21 cap hit: $925,000

He brings the penalty-killing acumen, physicality and intangibles of linemate Coleman without the offensive upside. Every championship team needs a Goodrow type to go to war with, but teams have to understand they're buying high right now.

29. CHRIS DRIEDGER, G, 27
2020-21 cap hit: $850,000

Driedger's small sample size makes him paradoxical. There's risk for a player with 34 career starts. But the lack of data means a team could get a massive bargain on a netminder with a .929 career save percentage. He could be a flash in the pan, but he could be a budding star. He's worth the dice roll as part of a platoon at the very least. Could he be Kraken material?

30. MIKE HOFFMAN, LW, 31
2020-21 cap hit: $4,000,000

Hoffman's defensive shortcomings in 5-on-5 play are beginning to overshadow his goal-scoring skills, and he was healthy-scratched at times in St. Louis, but he still scored at a 27-goal pace if pro-rated to 82 games. He can bulge the twine as a power-play specialist, but he's a risky team-chemistry fit.

simple comme question n'est-ce pas ?
selon vous si JARVIS est disponible au 16e rang , est-ce que BERGEVIN le prendra ou il choisira un autre joueur au 16e rang

Vous avez 2 jeunes joueurs de 23 ans et moins à choisir , pour croire que votre club serait potentiellement un aspirant HONNÊTE pour la coupe Stanley

qui serait ces 2 jeunes joueurs selon VOUS ?? ?? en excluant seulement un jeune -> McDAVID

P.S. sans oublier que l'arriver de ces 2 jeunes peuvent permettre un ou 2 trades par la suite

Ça commence à jaser à travers la NHL , qu'il pourrait y avoir 1 ou même 2 rachats de contrat qui ne seraient pas comptabilisés sur le CAP , pour aider les clubs plus riche et par la bande , les moins riches également

si le plafond baisse de 1 ou 2 M. ( à 80M. exemple ) et même demeure à 81.5 ce serait déjà sur la table niveau discussion du moins

ça aiderait pas le CH pour transiger mais tout de même ... ça libérerait au minimum le 4.6 de ALZNER , ce qui serait fort important pour les signatures à venir

j'aime bien cette idée .... SEABROOK - SUBBAN - STEEN - LOUI ERIKSSON entre autre , sont des noms mentionnés 

Suite à la loterie
le CH obtient le choix #2

Les WINGS contactent le CH et offre leur choix #4 + MANTHA pour le #2

que feriez vous être BERGEVIN ?? vous dites OUI ou NON ??
