sabremike Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Honestly the crass and transparent attempt by the Hawks at PR announcing their pick was actually considerably more revolting. What that kid did was bad, what the Hawks are accused of warrants something akin to the NCAA Death Penalty imposed on SMU if proven in court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Just before the draft, Detroit sent Jonathan Bernier & a 3rd round pick to Carolina for Alex Nedeljkovic. Nedeljkovic led the NHL in goals against last year (1.90) as a rookie and was due a raise that Carolina apparently didn't want to pay. Detroit immediately signed him for 2 years at $3m each - basically the same salary as Bernier. I have no idea what Carolina was thinking. Detroit appears to have robbed them blind.

elizium Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Jets D looks a whole hell of a lot better with the acquisition of Brenden Dillon. If Logan Stanley can take a big step forward next year and either Ville Heinola or Dylan Samberg can get minutes over Maurice fave Nathan Beaulieu, they may have an NHL caliber crew back there. Maybe even league average! Morrissey/Demelo Dillon/Stanley HeinBerg/Pionk Doesn't look terrible. Signing Stastny for one more year today was a nice bonus It is funny though, that for a "draft and develop" team, the Jets sure do get rid of a lot of their picks.

elizium Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Apparently MAF found out through twitter that he had been traded to Chicago, no one from Vegas called him (That's his agent, fyi) I hope he retires, for the lolz Edited July 27, 2021 by elizium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Nate Schmidt's analytics may have nose-dived last year, but I'll still take him over paying Tucker Poolman 2.5M for 4 years. Quieter day today for the Jets, having made most of their moves in trades. Could see them maybe bringing in a depth forward or something, but otherwise this is probably it. Losing Brossoit to Vegas sucks, but they are tight against the cap so good on him for making his money. Bringing in Eric Comrie as backup probably means that Hellebuyck will play 70+ games next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) If anyone could explain the Hurricanes' plans, I'd love to hear it. Trade Nedeljkovic for basically nothing because they don't want to pay him and then he signs a 3M AAV deal with the Wings. Then turn around and sign Andersen and Raanta for a combined 6.5M Edited July 28, 2021 by elizium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
