Happy Summer everyone.

I am perplexed by the Rasmus Anderssen dilema that CGY has. He has a 6 team no trade clause, but will only go to Vegas, as he considers the rest unsuitable, causing CGY to give up on value from other teams. When did a 6 team no trade list become a 31 no trade list. I keep wondering if the CBA needs to be re evaluated to turn the tides back in favour of the teams, themselves. Maybe making the player compensate the team monetarily. It seems like a breach of contract to me. Thoughts.

Caufield - suzuki - slafkovsky
Demidov - dach / call up- laine
Newhool - dach / call up - bolduc
Gallagher - evans - anderson


The reality that were fudged isn't neccessarilly true. We can leverage 4th line for deffencise or offencise end control because evans is alright. Dach is a question mark but if he can be healthy which is a big if. Our 2nd or 3rd line will be balanced.

Sure we can use help but a call up with a prove it who only has to win the draw iand not drive the play is way more doable.

Also deffensively we constantly allowed 30-50 shots on goal so its almost like a let shoot well clean up mentality. Does dobson change that? Probably not but does an extra year change that? Maybe? I think we look ( with experience and built chemistry ) better than last year.

My real concern is nets but like the team im general. I have a feeling ill be hella suprised, hella happy with what i see.

I don't get the Dobson trade for Montreal. He is a great offensive man, but average defensively. He is not bouncing Hutson from top PP duty so 9.5 million for a PP2 dman sounds like bad management too me.

Unless they play both on PP1. Only way it makes sense.

Matheson will probably be on the move at some point between now and trade deadline. IMO, he will be the replacement for him, however an upgrade.

Dobson is very good defensively?

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes no Jacob Slavin, but i don't think he gets enough credit for his defensive game. Hes got a good stick, decent at angling guys off. Hes not physical, not really a shot blocker, but I think hes at least an average defender, with above average offensive skills.

Agree0 Disagree0

He’s not Jacob Slavin no but he’s probably on a prime Ryan Sutter level with less cardio and a way better shot.

Glad to see the Zegras trade completed...that file was getting a little stale on here over the years.

The humbling return for a one-dimensional player is what it is. What was Verbeek. I'm sure if Verbeek had his time back he'd have jumped at something...anything...better than a 2nd, 4th & Poehling.

Im juat glad he didn't come to Montreal.

What is your guys best team of all time you can assemble with line chemistry as a factor (you don't want 3 skill guys on same line)?

Here is mine-

Bossy-Gretzky-Howe
McDavid-Crosby-Lemuix
Lafleur-Béliveau-M.Richard
Bure-Lindros-Messier

Ex: Jagar-Esposito

Bourque -Orr
Lindstrom-Makar
Stevens-Coffee
Ex- Potvin-Robertson

Hasek-Tretchiak-Roy

Now I haven't seen 90% of these players play ever since I'm in my early 20s but imo I think Lindros is most controversial pick here. My argument is he is a unicorn as far as a power forward goes and having him in his prime (pre Scott Stevens) on a line with Bure would be terrifying combination of dynamic offence (Bure) and space generation/physicality (Lindros/Messier)

Honorable mentions- Sakic/Yzerman/Ovechkin/Forsburg/Bossy/Bobby Hull

Brodeur/Dryden

Pretty hard to beat that team.
I might put Ovi over Esposito as and extra. Also on D, Makar might not be there just yet, a nasty D like Pronger( i see you have Steven's as well) would be good .
You 100% nailed it on goalies.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think on 2nd thought Bobby Hull in and Bure out. Fair point on Ovy. Lots of good forwards cut. I just think Makar is the most Dynamic Dman of the 21st century and needs the legend status recognition. He will be a hall of famer.

The goalies were tough especially with Roy at 3 but for me Dryden didn’t play long enough and I just don’t think prime Brodeur was as good as Roy.

Agree0 Disagree0

There's no doubt about Makar being a future Hall of Famer.
Bobby Hull for Bure.... cant go wrong with either.
Beem so many greats over the years.

I posted this back in 2020. I think it’ll be the best draft ever. Also fun fact McDavid is going to pass the highest point getter from the 2003 draft this season.

Is that your order? Hintz and Joel EK are low and Prov way to high.

It was my order in 2020. Kaprizov top 5, so many top 5 talents.

Minnesota got hosed. If jiricek turns into a top defenseman, maybe. they gave a 1st, 2nd 3rd, 4th and a warm body.l9ojs Luke the tb trade for jeanot and that lasted a short time before they traded him ..
. For much less

What is Bedard worth? Could he be worth marner? Chicago should try to trade him while he's still worth something. Brutal game in his home town 1 point in 6 games. Maybe sjs: 2025 1st, plus maybe will Smith chi: Bedard

I think it is time for Calgary to bench Pospisil or trade him. He has been the one to take bad penalties causing Calgary to lose in the final minutes of the game. The latest ere the the games against the Jets and Oilers, as an example.

He plays with so much heart tho he is a really solid player I’d take him on the leafs.

The biggest problem is, that he can be reckless on the ice causing some bad situations.

If CGY is in need of a center and there isn't any avail through a costly trade, maybe the plan would be to claim Mike Hoffman off the UFA list. He has been a consistent center and point getter and would give the young guys another on ice veteran to look too.
