it's an overrated occurrence, his ice time has been trending higher

the other night, Vesey had 22 shifts, Buchnevich had 21, but everyone freaked out about their icetime difference

you never know why guy's end up with more icetime, sometimes guys get stuck out there after an icing, there are so many variables that factor in

the number of shifts is what need to be looked at

10-12 mil per?

If they’re serious about retaining Taveras, they better be ready to do anything necessary to mak a huge run.

There's definitely a lot of room for improvement on the blueline. If he can go out and land a guy like Hjarlmarsson or OEL I think things start looking a hell of a lot better on the back-end.

.@EdmontonOilers are secretly shopping C Leon Draisaitl. The price is fairly high. I’m told a top 9 Forward & a top 4 D-Men is the asking price right now. According to sources around the @NHL #LetsGoOilers #Oilers

Yes. In terms of All time d-men in points per game, he's the top 10. He's going to get a Shea Weber type contract.

I will respectfully call BS on a lower-tier junior league scout having that kind of inside knowledge. He is either being messed with by someone or is flat-out making stuff up for attention.

Also, even though Draisaitl has a big dollar contract, something tells me that that return is pretty...low. I can't fathom Brock Nelson and Calvin de Haan getting that deal done

But....What about Sam Bennett's price? Also there is no such thing as quietly shopping player X if it's on twitter.

- eichiefs9

Yeah. But Weber made at points of that deal made like 12 million a year.

dont matter who says it

willy wonka could come here and say it

if one person on the planet comes to this blog and suggests the Oilers are shopping Draisatl, that translates to "THE RANGERS AND OILERS ARE TALKING TRADE FOR DRAISATL"

McDonagh and Hayes.

I know, just making fun of the length of that deal.

McDonagh and Hayes.


- JRR1285

I was thinking Skjei and Hayes.

10-12 mil per?

At the least.

I am definitely thinking no way it could possibly happen without Skjei as part of deal

Think the NHL will ever enforce a recapture penalty? I don't.

I haven’t seen him much, but I think I’d rather have McKinnon as long as we’re dreaming.

I think Avalanche feel like they have straightened themselves out a bit after dealing Duchene and will continue to build around McKinnon
