The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

Would you make that the shut down pair come playoffs. If we don't make a deal for someone.

Reilly Brodie
Holl Giordano (for the tough comp) or Lilly Gio
Lilly Sandin
 
SDA has a lot of similarities with Malgin actually. Could churn out a decent career yet. I'm higher on him than Steeves personally. Steeves' 5 on 5 scoring rate has not been great. Not sure how it differs from SDA but I've always liked SDAs skillset better anyway. Pretty sure he has a better impact at evens than Steeves and that's likely why he got the call.
 
yeah Steeves is probably pretty empty offense tbh. mostly PP offense but not even as a PP driver. he's 23 and probably not a player, much like abbruzzese.

SDA is a PP QB type which is probably why he got the call to help that 2nd unit.

but i think malgin deserves to be in too so i dunno.
 
That trade down to select Sandin+SDA is looking like quite the fleecing by Dubas. Blues did that to grab Bokk, who's never played in the NHL yet.
Pretty good considering Armstrong killed it in every other move and had a summer that helped to set-up a cup win in 2019.
I'll admit I stole that info from an Edna tweet.

Not sure it counts as a "fleecing" unless the extra pick we got out of the deal (SDA) amounts to something. Because whether he was picking 25th or 29th, we can be reasonably sure that Sandin was the guy that Dubas wanted, what with him playing for the Soo and all.
 
Speaking of Marchment after roaring out of the gates in his first 4 games with 6 pts he has since had 9pts in his last 21

The Leafs never truly gave him a shot but Im not sure he ever showed he deserved a long look either

In the brief look he did get, he did not earn more playing time.

His skating was always a big issue to but I think Barb may have fixed that
 
Even if the Leafs had hung on to Marchment all the way up to last year, where he had a breakout-style season on a dirt cheap contract, we still would've let him walk as a UFA after that season just like Florida did.

So whether he proves to be a legit top-6 forward or he's a flop, I'm not really concerned with what he does going forward. The only thing we really missed out on where he's concerned is his cheap production last season.

Washington should be getting so much crap for letting Samsonov go for free at age 25. They also let Vanchek go this summer.

Yeah, I really don't understand not giving your 25 year-old former first round pick some extra runway.

It's not like qualifying him would've been particularly pricey ($2M), or they had a better option waiting in the wings to be their #2 goalie. They ended up signing Charlie Lindgren to a three-year deal to fill that role, for fuck's sake.

I guess they looked at Lindgren's strong numbers in the AHL last year, and in his five-game stint with the Blues and figured something more was there. But he had a long track record before then of being a shitty AHL goalie and third-string NHL goalie for the Habs. Don't now how you choose to roll with that instead of Samsonov.
