Adams has most assuredly talk to Skinner and his agent about trade scenarios or I am totally misreading the subtext. Not that something is in the works but if it did come up, what would be acceptable or not. Others should listen to the question and answer to see if it seems I am hearing things though.

Rate player first and then consider outside factors such as access to player and can we bring them to NA (in answer to talking about Russian and Euro guys) Forton says that Russian players have had development slowed down because NHL teams have less access and the players are not in peer on peer, best on best tournaments. Also notes that 6-15 has a list of players that is interchangeable (not for them but across the league based on traits and team philosophy). Says there is a bit of a drop after 5. Forton added he could see 2-3 guys that they have in the 6-10 range slide to 11.

Adams admits that every scenario is on the table to get better in regards to if he is buying out Skinner. Said he wouldn't get more specific. Wide open to moving pick 11 or prospects. Adams would also look to move up or back in the first round.

https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1mnxepppEPAJX Just started Says Nightengale is an excellent pro guy and will continue in that role. Says not a ton will change in the day to day, just some structural stuff internally.

I'll shorten this, "ppl like watching winners"

https://eprinkside.com/2024/04/09/film-room-michael-brandsegg-nygards-the-perfect-blend-of-grit-and-skill-in-the-2024-nhl-draft I find Brandsegg-Nygård a very intriguing option at #11. All of his metrics look good, the eye test looks great, and really the only thing missing is some more deception and passing. He's really old for his class, he's closer to Benson in age than he is Tij Iginla. The more I watch the more I am convinced this is the type of guy that sits on your #2 RW and helps you win playoff games. He's going to have a PK role and could be put in the AHL I think this upcoming season unless he has a year remaining in the SHL which is also fine. My biggest gripe is he needs to work on playmaking and seeing some of those options better in the offensive zone. Between his insanely detailed and polished checking game and excellent shot though, I think he's a 25g-30g RW with excellent defensive metrics at his peak in the NHL. He would help win you playoff games because he has that battle and motor. He's kinda like Tkachuk-esque.

Ivan Demidov, 6'.5" and 192lbs

Does OV, mean Victor Olofsson? He doesn't play defense.

Penalties drawn

nope Or the short version

Which seems unlikely. They already have a ton of space to do that anyways.

Goodrow is overpaid and not that good

just remember this when ever you complain about Tage or Dylan

Really? I'd be surprised.

Dude is a cancer.

Jeff Skinner has a full NMC PLD, did not.

Yikes. I wouldn't trade a 7th round pick in 2089 for PLD.

Rankings have him mid60s to mid 80s so early 3rd to early 4th.

Hold up. This makes no sense. Teams have way more flexibility in the summer than trade deadline. The contenders have a much easier time fitting 4.5mil in then they would have in March.

Probably. Which is kinda the thing, how are we replacing his 35g and adding another 25g? I'm all for buying him out next year when Benson and Savoie, and Kulich are older.

Yup

Do you watch hockey? Do you think it's basketball? Whatever, McDavid has proven he's excellent in the playoffs.
