Give me the story on Lehkonen. He looks like he's been a good, though not outstanding, player on a top team in a league slightly better than the AHL. His stats have improved nicely over time, but he is also undersized. What's the deal?

I don't want Staal but I can see us getting him for 2 years.
Not sure why we would break up Nino Haula Pommer line.. they were our best line at the end of last year.
This is what I see us trying if we get Staal
Granny - Koivu - Coyle/Zucker
Parise - Staal - Coyle/Zucker
Nino - Haula - Pommer
Dalpe? - Graovac - Shroeder/Fontaine
We just signed Dalpe to a new deal so I figure we try to use him.
>>69110450
Marchand - Bergeron - Cehlarik/Donato
Pastrnak - Krejci - Okposo
Vatrano - Spooner - Griffith
Blidh - Acciari - Kelly/Hayes
Chara - Trouba
Krug - Miller
Miller - Russel
Rask
Subban
This is what I think will happen out of camp. I think Vesey will sign with Buffalo so Donny will jump on Okposo for scoring from the wing. I think Cehlarik and Donato are sleepers and both produce more on the right side.
My verdict: JUST
>>69110699
Additionally, I think McQuiad will be traded for non-roster futures. They won't pay him and Miller to do the same job.
Oh here he goes again. Look at you Canada, posting on /hoc/ thinking you just said some smart shit.
Out of all countries that post here Canadians are the ones that piss me off the most. Their entire fucking culture makes no sense. What exactly is it that you do? Wear flannel shirts and slurp syrup?
If I think of America I think of guns, pop culture and freedom. Sure, lots of ignorant baboons but at least they wear their retardation like a badge of honor, use it as a cultural identity, their flag promotes the unity of the country with all these stripes and stars.
Germany is orderly, a country that prides itself on its rules and their citizens who follow them. It's also the country with the biggest responsibility when it comes to destroying Europe with its two world wars and government sanctioned refugee crisis. Their flag waves strong colors, black, red and gold. A dominant flag for a dominant country.
Russia is strong and stubborn to a fault. They live hard lives and don't complain about it. Obviously the entire country is pretty much a shithole but it breeds strong people who can take care of themselves. Their flag represents the cold, the white, the blue but also the burning passion in the red, it all comes together to signify that their country is bleak but there is strength in that.
But Canada, what are they fucking known for? Being "nice", i guess? Is that your role in the world? Being fucking nice? That's not an achievement. Everyone can be nice. It's easy to be nice. You just don't have to say anything bad.
So what did your fucking country decide to put on their flag to show the entire world what Canada is all about? A leaf. A FUCKING LEAF. You decided that you like to slurp your shitty syrup so damn much that you might as well put the fucking leaf that it's made of on the flag. You don't even respect your own country so why the hell should I.
>>69110727
>A FUCKING LEAF

No, but I didn't think Carlyle was a realistic choice because surely Murray wouldn't be retarded enough to rehire the last coach he fired. Joke's on me.
>>69112495
he prob was being srs. like he rly thinks u should sign that goon, lol
>>69112495
There is a guy I work with that knows hockey pretty well but can't pronounce names for shit. I correct him all the time and probably seem like an ass for doing so.
If I heard someone say loosick I would definitely ask who the fuck was he talking about.
>>69112540

Now that is really bold, and considering that there are (according to rumors) 15 teams interested in him, he probably won't go

Colborne is a lanky fucker and Jankowski's probably already as good without having played a game in the NHL yet.

Brouwer's the best player in front of the net right now fampai. And he's big, fast, hits a lot, can score on the rush. He's the ideal power forward.

Nick is like the definition of "hit and miss"
Either he's about as right as you can get or he's so far removed you wonder how he was a hockey player, let alone now an analyst. It's fascinating.

Well, this is it for me. I'm in China, Canada Day ends in 15 minutes and I have to be awake in 6 hours for work.
Wishing everyone the best of luck in signing, I'm looking forward to catching up tomorrow.

GIVE ME A STREAM OR I'LL DO SOMETHING DRASTIC
Why do Bergevin and Therrien still have a job? Did they give mad BJs at Molson or something? I really appreciate the memes that this whole fiasco has created though.
>>69118797

>>69118766

>>69118789

>>69118797
Molson has respek for the system
>>69118355
Better lock him up now than after he scores 50 points playing alongside Yandle on a non-abysmal PP. He also played more with Kulikov than Campbell last season.
The cushy zone starts and playing behind the 2nd (scoring) Trocheck line on even strength happened not because he can't defend, but because he was the best offensive defenseman. The 1st (shutdown) line could score at will even though they had more defensive zone starts one often played with the 3rd pairing. Ekblad's situation is just like Barkov's, who didn't play on the PK regularly until his 3rd season even though he was the Cats' best defensive forward the moment he stepped into the league.
>>69118789
Fucking faggot, there is one right on the NHL's website.
Did mommy let you run around without your helmet?
>>69118758

>>69118841
I guess that's the thing to me, I don't see his value getting much higher as a RFA even if he does get 50 points.

>>69119018
Keep them coming boys.
>get rid of hall
>sign lucic
How do you do this? Hall was arguably a top 5 winger in the entire league. They should have dumped Eberle and Yak. Edmonton is now way tougher but not much better
>>69119093
Fucking Christ Hextall, did you really need to go that long for a slightly better Ryan White?
>>69119102
>wingers
lol
Thanks for Lucic & Sekera, Kongs.
Do we get an offersheet today?
>>69119102
I don't understand why anyone even wants Lucic, he is not that good.
>>69119102
did you forget about larsson?
also
>never scored 30 goals
>riddled with injuries
can we stop pretending hall is the best lw in hockey history
>>69119102
Edmonton needed a number one D man and traded from a position of weakness and Lucic will be a tough 30/30 player with McDavid.
>>69119082
Even if he won't become a starter it's not an expensive contract
>>69119094
Pretty good, they also cost a combined 7.75M
>>69118479
I couldn't believe him when he broke the subban trade, I thought he was joking or something and had to wait for other insiders to confirm
>>69119165
I thought for sure he was hacked since no one else had it at first.
>>69119152
He is though, he's huge and can put up 50-60 points a year and he's now in his prime and will be for the next 3-4 years. He also may be a dick on the ice but he's actually a good leader and a very nice guy off the ice and he brings some strength and size to Edmonton.
>>69119102
Lucic is a good player. 60 point power forward most years is good.
>>69119201
nah senpai
>he's now in his prime
wew
>seven years for wew ladd
>>69119201
Playing with McDavid he could break 70 points
>>69119228
He's 28, he's never had a serious injury ever and his production hasn't declined. He can still make space and score goals
>>69119242
free agency, what a wonderful time
>>69119217
He's good now but I doubt his body holds up for the full seven years

>>69119160
>7.75
cheap. How much are they paying the finns in dallas?
>>69119272
They will probably only get 4 years out of him with this contract but it's what you pay for free agents these days
>>69119285

Is a little over $5mil/year too much? Or is that okay?

>>69117471
Nobody even mentioning pic related.
You guys have awful taste.
>>69119351
5.25 million for a 32 year old 3rd line centre seems like too much to me.
>>69119351
way too much

Thank god people still want to come here

Lu/Reims costs almost 3M less for Florida than >finnish goaltending (Vancouver's also retaining 1M of Lu's salary)
>>69119380
>>69119385
He put up over 50 pts and the contract isn't that long.
>>69119403
>detoilet cuck damage control
wow oilers are gonna stomp the west the year ez mode haha
>>69119272
he's only 28 so its not imposable he'll still be as good as he is now for the first 5 years. For his 34-35 years he may not be the same player, but he'd still get more than 30 points for sure.
>>69119395
>7 years
>Nice
>>69119412
>being this ignorant of the market
or did you miss all the 40 PT players getting $6 mil and 4-5 years the past two offseasons?
>>69119324
True, and it's good for the franchise that they're gunning for the playoffs and getting top free agents
>>69119307
Salute, he did his thing here in LA. But 7 years? Best wishes to him, but that's a long ass contract at his age.
>>69119403
>and the contract isn't that long.

>>69119395

We need a new lockout
>>69119547
>6 mil for okposo with tons of cap room after next season
christ you canadafags are retarded
>>69119500
Depends on the team. Probably Lucic, he's got more assets and can easily transition to a smaller role on a team and still be effective
>6/6 too much for Eriksson
>5/6 just right for Backes
>tfw you think you're not retarded
>>69119561

>>69119457

Thanks BLose, I was worried for a second you were actually going to be competitive for once.
>>69119634
It's not 7x7, it's a 6AAV for 7 years which is fine for Lucic
>>69119617
It's actually a good contract, it's just that team isnt' going to do anything.

its a low risk signing and good value for a 40 point player, but if they're hoping he becomes a 60 point guy again they're delusional
>>69119617
This is actually the only pretty good contract that got handed out today.
>>69119500

Bad deal for term. Still a decent player and not as full retard as some of the deals.
The problem is the team needs to rebuild and by the time they're good again, or have relevant D, he'll probably be too old.

Terrible signing. Giving Loui the extra year would have been far more smart.
