I wonder if Giroux was consulted prior to the MacEwen signing? They spent a season together in Philly.
Hey Hockey Guy!
Wondering if you have some time during the summer to do a couple videos on a few things
I find the nhl weird with how they don’t make the AHL or ECHL better leagues. I don’t understand why nhl teams don’t own their AHL team and put only their prospects there. They seem to have a mix and then let some coach run it. Never really hear news about the leagues or highlights.
Second one on what’s going on with Junior hockey. Seems like the CHL needs to make some changes before the NCAA takes over. The NCAA programs seem to have more money behind them.
The Junior A and B world seems to be changing with a couple new leagues starting with the BCHL making the biggest change. How do these leagues help produce more Canadian players.
Maybe a third could be what is happening to the Canadian player. Seems like less are being produced or maybe it is that fewer but more elite players ar w making it.
What about Zadina joining Scherbak in France? 😅
THANKS!!
Wish it worked out here for zadina. Hope he turns it around somewhere else
If 4 million is the number for Tarasenko. Pitlick, Bonino, Nash,Mackey, and Jones are 4 million without touching Goodrow… and that's assuming Laffy and Miller are more than 5 million which I doubt.
no one is gonna watch a women's league…it would be better than wnba, but still not sufficient interest to sustain it
I think Zadina asked for a termination and going along with it was the only way he could get it.
If vlad is willing to sign for a mill, just sign key to whatever you can and tell laff sign an offer sheet if he wants money on this deal
Making a separate video for AV retirement?
I wonder if Holland would put out feelers to Zadina. He (and Tyler Wright who's also in Edmonton now) drafted the player, and Holland was shortly after "promoted" out of his role. On a short 1 or 2 year deal in Edmonton, Zadina might be able to find his offensive footing and mojo again. Maybe slide him in on the 3rd line with McLeod or the 4th with Derek Ryan. Either way Zadina should be motivated after betting on himself, and could surround himself with guys who's only goal is Stanley Cup or Bust. Just depends on whether he's willing to grit out cold winters for success.
I have all the time in the world for an original 6 WNHL teams
Signing Cristall is awesome. The Capitals have done an AMAZING job with the draft shoring the club up for the post Ovi/Backy era of hockey
Zadina has played on every single line for Detroit and he has sucked on all of them.
That NYR jersey looks GREAT together with the Stanley Cup in the background. 😊
I'm surprised you haven't been making any flyers videos they been making alot of trades and signings
Miss MacEwan in Vancouver, his player type is a dying breed nowadays but you need someone like that for the players on the 4th line
As a Caps fan, I was legitimately surprised when I woke up on Day 2 to find out Cristall was still available. Had my fingers crossed & literally yelled in my cubicle at work when the draft page on NHL's website updated with him getting picked…
LA never gave Macewen a chance. Should have signed him instead of Trevor Lewis.
OK crazy beans What if Drury pulls off a miracle Signs the 2 RFA's on team friendly 1-year deals them Vald also on a 1-year deal with promise of big pay day next year for the 2 kids it's basically a show me with Vlad it's more of a belief/faith deal. He may just enjoy playing with Panarin/ Igor
Im guessing Zach is meant to be somewhat of a replacement for Watson. Seems like a good guy off the ice as well. Look forward to seeing him in an Ottawa jersey!
$5.3 billion is approximately $5.3 billion more than I have to my name
LOL the WNBA is a disaster that loses money. WNHL doesn't stand a chance.
MTL would be perfect for Zedina. Marty can make some magic with make him star. Filip has so much more to give and potential.
Zadina “Could” be a fit a Chicago.
Tarasenko should sign a multi year deal worth whatever the Rangers can offer this year with the millions more he is worth tacked onto the next year or two after that.
Are you going to do a career video of two time Stanley Cup champion Darren Helm?
Washington sign zadina
the Habs should take a punt on Lafreinierre if the price is cheap.
Hope the Caps pick Zadina up. Assuming he gets league min. Zero risk only upside
On, how’s this for a idea for the WNHL? Scenario No.1 – as you suggested, a summer league. Women’s hockey rn would get ALL the media attention.
Scenario no.2 – women’s games take place before men’s games in NHL or AHL arenas, same day, and see all 6 hours of hockey for the same price (obviously subsidized) for the first season. Going against men’s hockey head-to-head the WNHL will stumble. Great vid!
Zadina is the tip of the iceberg why you shouldnt care draftpics at all if you dont have number one pick of whole draft. Other than that its complete guess and most of being complete garbage
I checked out on the Canucks after 38 years this year, would have been nice to see MacEwen back there.
liked MAcewen in Philly…but he needed a few more goals to stay viable. racking up concussions instead of goals was not a good strategy moving forward. Like his heart, but….
Oof…. LA Dodgers Mark Walter ? oh honey….no
To expand on what I commented on the previous video regarding Vlad Terasenko. Given the cap situation and VT’s determination and motivation to play for the Rangers, the two parties should verbally agree on a market value for a 2-year deal. Sign an official 1 year deal at half that value, and a verbal agreement on next season’s contract for 1.5x the agreed market value (maybe 1.75x, the extra .25 as an interest payment on the money theoretically owed to him from the initial 1 year contract)
Now maybe there’s strict rules from the NHL regarding verbal agreements for future contracts, I don’t know, so that might kill this sort of deal off the bat. But this deal would make sense given the very shallow cap space across the NHL.
The other thing is, this sort of deal may mess with market value of other players if you can get players for below market value and then suddenly over pay them well above market value the following season.
I've said it before: If the women's league wants to be taken seriously by anyone, they have to keep the word "Women" out of their name. Otherwise, they will come across strictly as the female version of a male sport, rather than as a professional sports league that just happens to only have women players.
That version of that jersey is one of my all time favourites.
Glad you included that $417 (vs 6.175m) it could be used for a signing bonus
is the woman's league gonna turn into another WNBA situation?
