I have an avid Bruins fan at work, the Studnicka story sounds a bit like DiPietro’s lack of games in pandemic year stunted his growth Feedback is he’s more suited for top-6 but not good enough and not gritty enough for the bottom six overall we traded a NHL long-shot project goalie and a very far long shot RHD prospect (go to DobberProspects to see how high they are on Myrenberg making the NHL top RHD prospect or not) for a project AHL tweener that fills a much needed depth role on the team Our centre prospect pool is just as bad as RHD and we have a plethora of 5 to 7 RHD in the system especially now with Bear, solid 36 hours to address urgent injury induced depth issues

[Signing] Flames sign Nazem Kadri
bbllpp replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yes Calgary is all in for the short term as they should be given their core’s age but they’ll have a decade of pain just like we did post 2012 with an unmovable aging core -
[Signing] Flames sign Nazem Kadri
bbllpp replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Was about to say the same thing Kadri 4 years 35+ at 7 M + to OELs 0 Completely different. Doubt OEL is worse than Edler in his mid 30s, contract is not great but not horrible this Kadri contract stinks, gives Miller’s camp 42 M plus inflation starting point for years 3 through 8 and 20+ M for the first 2 years, plus tax and team desperation considerations, I can see them starting at >70 M for 8 years at this point Honestly think a production fair deal is between 40 and 55 M when things are said in done, the guy (Miller) is more than halfway through his career and has less than 500 points, really don’t see him getting more than 400 to 500 the rest of the way, nor do I see him being an effective bottom 6 forward at the tail end of his career, something that Kadri has a leg up on him on -
How did JR/PA do on TDL 2022? (10 being best, 1 being worst)
bbllpp replied to HKSR's topic in Canucks Talk
Hamonic and Motte for Dermott, Richardson a 4th and 1.925 M in Cap (423k in real cap space this year) if this helps keep Halak’s bonuses off next year’s cap then it’s a job well done in my books Over all the team treads water talent wise for the rest of the year, balls in their court to make the playoffs. Adding centre depth and an nhl LHD upgrade over Hunt and moving Hamonic was needed 2 months ago to have a real impact though -
[Report] Sharks claim Jonah Gadjovich off waivers

Don’t get this one, outcome was fairly obvious as the upside with this player far out weighs any risk. Kid showed better than all the journeyman plugs in camp with limited 4th line minutes, better than Podz and better than a fair number of the top 9 nhl veterans that had a guaranteed spot in the lineup. There were enough injury holes to give the kid a spot and 10-15 game NHL audition He shows well he’s a cheap addition He struggles then he’s less likely to be grabbed on the way down going 15g in 19 games, showing well in limited minutes against lopsided opponents in preseason and showing marked improvement on his skating for sure he’d be grabbed by a bottom feeder like San Jose looking for youth with upside Nothing worse than pigeon holing players into a fixed role. -
[GDT/PGT - Preseason] Vancouver @ Calgary Friday, Oct. 1/21 6:00 PM PST

I think he’s the bright spot of camp/preseason so far. Definitely shining above many including a number of the regular NHLers
