Popular Post Ted Lasso Posted July 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2023 SCOUTING REPORT The Latvian forward put in his time in college hockey and the AHL before showing that his speed could translate to the NHL level. Provides plenty of energy and is more than capable of playing the role of shutdown center and penalty killer. Occasionally flashes the kind of offensive skills he exhibited at lower levels. Gets a fair number of breakaways because of his speed. His points usually come in spurts. Long Range Potential:Speedy defensive-minded center. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few things jump out at me there that I really like: Penalty killer Speedy Defensive-minded Shutdown Centre This is what our bottom six needs in a bad way. Our team defensive play has been a week spot for years. Hopefully Blueger can help with that. Edited July 1, 2023 by YearoftheNuck 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted July 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2023 Bluger is coming off a $2.2M AAV, so nice to see him signed for less money than his previous deal. Last season was a bit of an off year for him, especially on the analytics side, but historically, he’s delivered some pretty strong positive impacts on 5v5 defence and the PK, as well as generally positive offensive impacts. He can definitely win faceoffs and handle a heavy load of defensive zone starts, which helps. And with a return to form (hopefully), he might actually offer somewhere in the $3-5M range in value (that’s about where his impacts were valued analytically from 2020-22). In any case, on a one year deal and at $1.9M, it’s a pretty safe bet. 2 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 These are great signings and could be deadline flips if we crash and burn Im good with it and like the terms on the deal and love we aren’t digging ourselves into a hole 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
