Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

[GEEMAN]

I guess VGK feel their C depth is better with Patrick & Howden acquisitions- assume that means they are out of Eichel sweeps..if they ever were in it

Patrick and McCrimon go back to junior , last shot to prove himself

 

[GEEMAN]

They don’t have cap space for both Kerfoot & McCann and Kerfoot has been long rumored to be on Seattle’s radar

They do , simply let Hyman walk

Maybe Dermott gets picked up

 

[Sal_Butera]

 

[habs25th]

He replaces the soon to be overpaid Hyman . Leafs need to keep playing cap gymnastics

Solid trade even though he is a UFA after this season

He's RFA according to capfriendly.

Solid pickup. Strange that the Pens got rid of him over others.

What a major fkup in Philly

PICKS 3-5 are studs and they take an injury prone player

Am I missing something? What are picks 3-5 have to do with anything?

 

[Rolex]

Heiskanen-Makar-Petterson all went right after Nolan

 

[GEEMAN]

Patrick went 2

Miro , Makar and EP go 3-5 .......thats embarrassing

Got it, I thought you were talking about the trade itself.

 

[Sal_Butera]

It’ll be McCann or Kerfoot

As I stated last night

 

[habs25th]

As I stated last night

Sounds really dumb. Rather keep Mccann than Holl.

 

[Sal_Butera]

TBay is also going 4-4-1, lots of forwards exposed

Looks like GMs are going to flood the market w high cap hit supply forcing Seattle into a tough situation ...they’ve learned from VGK experience

Look like it will be really tough dor them but of course no GM wants to see the Krakens in a similar situations as VGK now in a few years. I am really interested in what they will do.

 

[Sal_Butera]

More flooding of the expansion market with high cap hits - Seattle’s getting pumped up the beehive.

There are no side deals this time to be had, and unlike VGK there are no good + cheap + young talent being made available : Karlsson, Marchessault, Theodore, Tuch etc

Can’t build a team in a hard cap league exclusively with $6M+ players and hope to have a viable 23-man roster

 

[lecoqsportif]

Yup. This is the response to the Vega situation.

 

[GGpX]

Some GMs are (finally) starting to understand the salary and that losing a player with a large caphit might not be the end of the world.

yeah....people get tripped up by the emotional nature of sunk costs
