  2. NHL Draft and Free Agency Thoughts

    in The Peanut Gallery

    Posted

    I just wanted to start a thread with thoughts on your favorite team's draft and free agent signings. Do you like what they did? 

     

    I'll start. 

     

    Detroit Red Wings

     

    NHL Draft:

    • 1(9) - Nate Danielson (C) --- I'm totally fine with this pick. From everything that I've read and watched, he is a very responsible two-way center. It seems like his production may have lacked due to the quality of his linemates/team. I'll take a right-handed, over six foot, PPG center any day.
    • 1(17) - Axel Sandin Pellikka (D) --- Again, totally OK with this one. A right-handed, puck-moving, PP quarterback defenseman is hard to come by. Another Swede for the Wings. That's craaaaaaazy. 
    • 2(41) - Trey Augustine (G) --- You never know with goalies. Might as well take the best American one available. A Michigan boy set to play at Michigan State next year. I'm excited to see how he does in the NCAA.
    • 2(42) - Andrew Gibson (D) --- Big, right-shot D-man. He was injured for a while last year. Decent skater, good shot. Not mad about it.
    • 2(47) - Brady Cleveland (D) --- Nasty, aggressive, large. There are questions about his decision-making, but hopefully that'll develop in Wisconsin next year. Let's gamble.
    • 3(73) Noah Dower Nilsson (C) --- Brother was already drafted by the Wings. He seems like a pretty good all-around player as well. Again, fine by me.
    • I won't pretend to know the rest. Haha.

     

    Free Agency:

    • Justin Holl (3 x 3.4M) --- Why? Why? Why? Why? I know Toronto fans can be hard on their players, but they really didn't like this guy. Prone to turnovers but moves the puck up the ice well. I'm hoping he gets sheltered minutes, but I guess we needed a RHD. Wish it would've been Gudas. Oh well.
    • J.T. Compher (5 x 5.1M) --- Copp last year, Compher this year. Not a gigantic fan of this deal, but whatever. Another right-shot, responsible centerman.
    • Shayne Gostisbehere (1 x 4.125M) --- Hell yeah. Love this. Short contract, PP quarterback. Let's go!
    • Daniel Sprong (1 x 2M) --- Love it! We need scoring help. Low AAV and short term.
    • Klim Kostin (2 x 2M) --- Big fan of Kostin. Plays a tough game and has some skill.
    • James Reimer (1 x 1.5M) --- Don't like the guy. First, Greiss. Now this idiot?
    • Christian Fischer (1 x 1.125M) --- Completely indifferent.

     

     

    Draft Grade: B

    Free Agency Grade: C+

    I read/listened to a lot of stuff about Reinbacher. He was a curious case in the draft. You don't see a lot of high Austrian-born picks, so it'll be fun to watch him develop. On the Athletic Hockey Show podcast, I believe they were saying that he outproduced Nemec (Slovakia) and Jiricek (Czechia) in their draft years, and in a more difficult league (NL) to boot. 

     

    I'm not saying that he's Seider by any means, but an overlooked defensively responsible and offensively capable defenseman who plays in all situations? 6'2" and shoots right as well? Let's go! I'm hoping he flourishes in MTL.

    Fine. I would've much preferred Willander and Moore who were both available at those spots, but I also scoffed at the Seider pick when it happened. What do I know? I think Danielson is good, and ASP isn't bad by any means. I'm fine with them. 

     

    Excited about the three picks in a row tomorrow though :)

     

    How do you feel about the Habs?

  12. Bold Predictions for 2022-2023

    in The Peanut Gallery

    Posted

    None of these will happen because I am typing them here.

    1. The first bold prediction must begin with a Red Wing. Jakub Vrana scores 40 goals.
    2. Maybe not that bold, but Matty Beniers wins the Calder.
    3. Rudolf Balcers gets 20 goals, maybe 25.
    4. Adrian Kempe is a PPG player.
    5. Shesterkin wins the Vezina again, but Georgiev comes in 2nd or 3rd along with Saros.
    6. Oilers lose in the first round of the playoffs.
    7. Carolina wins the Presidents trophy.
    8. Vancouver misses the playoffs on the last game of the year.
    9. Colorado wins two in a row.
    10. Flyers finish with the worst record.
