Seems like this guy we signed can put the biscuit in the basket

Interesting prospect. It's for me to get any MHL games, but those I did, I was really impressed by his skating. He gets to good areas, bounces in and out of traffic to receive passes and can dish off himself too. Obviously he needs to get stronger, but that's exactly the type of player I'd want rounding things out on the farm next year too.

Now that Kisakov is signed, should Adams send Quinn and 16OA to Chicago for Patrick Kane?

He looks good because they are playing the slow as hell, neutral zone clogging Dallas Stars.

He won't look so good when playing a team that has a faster tempo to their game.

His salary is only $1M this season if teams wait to trade for him until after his bonus has been paid.

No argument there. Just would be surprised if CAL couldn't move him, given the cheap price, and the playoffs he's having so far.

Savoie would be excellent as well.

Not everyone is infatuated with D 😉

- kingcong39


Savoie has and continues to be my preferred pick.
I don't think he lasts past Detroit at 8, and may not make it past CBus at 6.
If Cbus does take someone else, trading into 7 with the Sens should be a consideration for Adams.

He's playing 9 minutes a night per CapFriendly.

If he was playing that well, he'd be playing more.

What do you mean by cheap price?

So, 9OA, 16OA and Ryan Johnson for 7?

More drama as expected.

Shouldn't cost much. 9th + 2nd/3rd/Prospect.

Well atleast there's something here, half these blogs on Hockeybuzz don't have anything. This blog probably keeps this site going.

I really like the work that Dom Luszczysn (sp?) does on The Athletic in data analysis.
His most recent Draft Value Chart takes the work of his predecessors Schuckers and Tulsky to the next level as it includes data that just wasn't available to either back then. While his Chart, like any chart are not perfect prediction tools, they certainly get us much closer to reality.

Ask yourself which prospect would be equal to a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick.

Johnson might be it, same with Portillo. I am not the expert.
Seems like you may have ideas...what is yours?

There is something here without the trolls.

IF you just ignore them they just go away.

Folks have noted how the Amerks are physically overmatched by the Baby Sens and now Utica. Does anyone know if we’re putting kids up against older career AHL players or are the prospects just little? I know with off season work they’ll add some size. The Russian they just signed is listed as 150 Lbs. Is there cause for concern?

This has been a theme throughout the season for the Amerks. They've been outshot and outmuscled regularly.

Eh. I disagree. Their 'bad' games, they were just lifeless puds. They kept up with the bottom 75% of the league on a nightly basis for the most part. Outshot a bit perhaps, but they were physical after the allstar game.

Amerks were abused, often. What they are very good at is capitalizing on their chances.
