Hendricks has a goal and a fight through one period this afternoon.

He may be the most underrated player in the West.

Look at what loosing him has done to EDM.

He should get extended in the Peg, but would be a fantastic add for any team
- Byfuglien Ate Me

100% agree

Even the Capitals still miss him.

They're extremely similar in skill set and style.

Expect for Kreider producing points and being a good NHL player maybe

JV is 21.


Kreider had 2 NHL goals when he was that age so JV might even be better.

At least he could produce in the AHL

i would not trade connor brown for gudbranson straight up, not in a million years

20 goal scorer who plays on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th line. He can play a shutdown role or an offensive role. He is one of our go to pk players and he can slot in on the pp if the big guns are hurt or struggling. he makes 2.1 million per year for three more years and he's still an rfa after that.

this guy was the ohls mvp(mcdavid was 2 years younger and missed games for world junior though)

during his ahl rookie year he led all rookies in points and was top 20 in the league. if not for (frank)ing matt murray he wouldve won rookie of the year.

the year after he broke his leg and misseed most of the season delaying his nhl career by about a year.

all he has ever done is get the job done at every level

you dont trade guys like that for replaceble plugs

Really? You don’t want a slow, overpaid dman with zero offensive upside?

I wouldn’t take Gudbranson for free. Canucks will get nothing for him. He’s utterly useless

- ClarksonDavid

He had 27 AHL points playing for a AHL playoff team at 21, JV has 19 playing on a bad AHL team.


I'm starting to think I might be selling JV short actually, the guy should end up being better than Kreider.

I’ll be surprised if Gudbranson doesn’t get at least a 2nd at the deadline.

He was the shutdown dman for a playoff team in the East not to long ago.

And no, no he wasn’t

Not the same type of players, but I feel safe calling him a slightly better Chris Kreider when he hits his prime.

Meh, east is easy to shut down

Evidently, not for the Leafs

He could be though, a little different but if he clicks with Petterson then Petterson can be Seguin and JV can be Benn

Maybe, but I see EP and Brock being the dynamic duo, hopefully similar to Stamkos-Kucherov or Scheifele-Wheeler

Those guys only had 1 year left on their deals, Green has 3 more years after this.

I agree it shouldnt matter, but after FA has paid AV, Gillis and Torts in the past few years, I dont think he would be thrilled about paying another coach to not be around during the franchise's lowest point
- WhiteLie

He will just add another 50 cents to his gourmet hot dogs and as long as Lefty goes to games he will recoup his losses

Going to be hard to fit them all under the cap though, probably going to have a hard time finding room for the eventual mega deals for Petterson Boeser JV
