if casey puts up 60 points this season, it's 119 in 2 years

terry had 128 in last 2 years, got paid 7 per and plays wing

How many points would Mitts have had playing on the Ducks though ?

Terry’s impact goes beyond the points.

Top line + top PP = points.

If Kulich has a strong camp/season, keeping him from playing 10 games would be criminal.
- Lunaion

The fact that they haven’t brought in a Tatar or Suter yet shows their belief in one of Kulich, Rousek, or Savoie holding down that spot (or even in rotation).

As long as Olofsson is still here you have to figure he’d be apart of that rotation as well

that's why I put casey at 6 per with a 60 point season

not 7-8 per playing center, which usually gets paid more than a winger

Cross that bridge when you get there.

Mittelstadt earning a big pay day by years end probably means the drought ends.

With the success he had with Tuch and Skinner at the end of the year, I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts on the top line.

Healthy Tage + Cozens could be a deadly duo

Forwards likely don't stay as healthy as they did last year either. So much went right for them last year.

I don't see them forcibly holding Kulich back this year.

I would. We've had that debate before. Almost time to see.

if joker gets another 20 minute season under his belt, his number will be close to 5 on his next deal

It’s the same summer where Botts brought in every RHD available and then the coaches had to use them as forwards 😂

What would be the cons in pushing the draft eligibility to 20?

It would definitely help the hit and miss ratio on some players. But some of it goes on the Organizations that draft these kids to though. Some teams just don’t develop some right or build around them AKA Buffalo Sabres.

joker and okposo overplayed

cozens, quinn, peterka, krebs underplayed

IMO

I would add Greenway to the overplayed list, and agreed on the rest.

if I am GMKA, I am trying to trade Mitts. I have not liked the pick and the player from day one however at the end of 21/22 and last year he showed me he can actually play. We have too many centers and I really don't want to pay him 6 large.

trade him for D help, we have plenty of other centers waiting in the wings.
