Doms model has him as being brutal this year

Buy-low candidates must either have cheap contracts or have high odds of being really good. He's neither!

People in the replies are saying Detroit

It’s obviously Detroit

Hm

get'em, chayka.

Asking for no particular reason: I notice that Walman's ice time this year was pretty low and tailed off near the end. Did he fall out of favor with the Oilers? Is he just shit?

they preferred to play Murphy over him.

now i haven't looked at the numbers - maybe Murphy is better i dunno. but from my distant memories i thought it was walman that had the good numbers and murph the bad ones.


anyways, Ekholm and Walman are very interesting to me.

Chris Johnson is spending too much time with Dreger. Less Dreger and more McKenzie, please.

 

[zeke]

I do hope matthews makes fun of the rumours eventually.

I'm too dumb to know if I'm into him or not. But that type of buy-low candidate is what I'm hoping for with Chayka, if they're actually good.

I’m basing this entirely on his foreskin situation.

(he already committed to them for the next 2 seasons)

CJ isn't going to let this go eh?

 

[CH1]

I’m not buying it….. but maybe Auston has his own analytics team that hands out game scores to GM teams

 

[Feyd]

He can't now because he got called out for it initially and did like a 1/4 walkback ("If you read the article I never say he's definitively leaving") and also said "I stand by everything that was printed".
