Neuvy's stock rises in 2019....some games in the books, without pulling something out of the socket, could be serviceable help for someone.

My belief is that Neuvirth's NHL career is pretty much over after this season.

His last deal was 3 yrs for ~7M?

I’d be ok with a similar deal, I think.

Maybe slightly less as his production has fallen since 2014/15.

3 years 6M would be ok.

- Marc D

Raffl I'm sure would sign a 2 year deal only reject one year offers
Plus he is undrafted and got into NHL as a 25 year old so might be not at his peak by now.Plus Raffl could also play as dman to extend his career.
Not sure if at nhl calibre level but I would try if I was him

I doubt it, he is a good goaltender. Someone will sign him. A decent amount of teams will need a goalie next season.

Carolina
Edmonton
Calgary
Detroit(If they dont bring Howard back)
Florida
Ottawa
St.Louis(If they give up on Allen)

Plus there will be teams looking for backups as well. Who knows what we are going to do.

Another big injury this year and I would say he will have a tough time getting an NHL contract this offseason. At best he might get an AHL contract and used as an emergency call up if he can't prove to stay healthy.

Agree that injury is the big if but still he is talented like a 1a netminder

Now that he has made it a few games...as the late Mortimer Duke said,"Sell Sell Sell".
I'd be happy with a blade sharpener and a 5th in return.

We’ve been to Nashville and had a blast. The logistics didn’t work for tonight but we will get there sooner than later.

It's not about how good of a goalie he is. It's about his ability to stay healthy.

Dylan Strome #17 for Blackhawks has impressed me in 1st period. Always around puck. Good passing. Haven't been able to judge speed but he stood out to me.

Most deals to seriously rework this team will be done in off season. I can envision a scenario where we hire Q, trade or sign some big stars (Panarin, Duchene, Trouba) all within a few days. At least that's my hope...

Can we just sit McDonald and bring up Myers to see what we have in him?

Hex is gone so they should activate his precious treasures.

Also dad factor. 2 kids in 3 years. Does he want the rehab and NHL grind anymore? I wonder if he would happily accept some time of coaching development scouting role within the organization.

Do nt like the word lock but only Provorov is a legit top pair dman
Just overused last year AKA one reason why he isn't that good 18/19.
But all other s can be 2nd pair dman most of the time
Maybe Myers and Haag 3rd pair during average days.
Only about Morin I m pessimistic he might never be able to control his body good enough to be a regular

- goenzoy


So please tell me why we need to trade them. According to you, we have:

1st pair - Provorov
2nd pair - Sanheim, Ghost
3rd pair - Myers, Hagg
7th/AHL - Morin

Now, please tell me why we have to move on from all these young D when only 5 of them are NHL caliber. You said "Because there are too many." but I'm only counting 5, unless you want to include Wilcox, Frideman, and all of the other junior/NCAA/European prospects who are wild cards, at best, right now.

The Flyers I felt stayed with the Canes in the first half of the game. A little sad Hart let in a couple of soft ones.

My knock on Gordon in this one. The Flyers looked to have had something going with a Raffl-Couturier-Konecny line forcing pressure at the end of the first period. The next shift featured JvR-Giroux-Voracek where they drew a penalty. Gordon never revisited this and our play trailed off as a game went on.

I’d agree it is too early to tell. He is playing for his career the rest of the season.
