The Official 2026 Off-Season Thread: Revenge of the Nerds

I don't think Dom realizes that they offered him around the league before deciding not to qualify him and obviously nobody agrees with him.
 
I like the stetcher signing. He was the only guy last year with the ability to skate the puck out of the Dzone. He loves it here. The guys loved his energy..

I want stetchers here to shift in and out with Andre if he doesn't pan out as well

I can't explain it other than to say that he's an incredibly annoying player to watch. He has skill, but he just sucks. Very similar to Domi, just the euro boyscout version.

He's much better than Domi. He's not great but I think he'd be a luxury to be able to move up and down the lineup on a better non Berube team.

Nothing to cry about, but it's the first non data driven move they've made so far. We'll see what else he has planned.
 
I hope they will still consider signing him if they strike out on some other things. Fits the age profile and nerdies say he's a quality middle sixer. If he could be had for cheaper, count me in.
 
I will still be shocked if Maccelli’s AAV, if and when he signs, comes in at anything more than half of what his $4.1M qualifying offer would’ve paid him.

And whatever nice things his nerds stats might say about him, this is an unremarkable milquetoast depth forward who, despite having TWO of Auston Matthews, William Nylander, John Tavares or Matthew Knies on his line for over 50% of his even strength ice-time (and at least one of them on his line for most of the remainder), didn’t even crack the 40 point mark. So, a big “meh” to him. No big loss at all.
