BigTed3 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Granlund is 4 yrs 5M AAV. Wennberg was 3 yrs 4.5M AAV. So that's what it would have cost to sign a 3C to replace Danault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nice to know how many players have montreal on their list of places they'd not like to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly looks like they have lost some confidence in Hart. This may becomme a bit of nightmare for the Flyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTed3 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Could have been better, could have been worse. 3.5M was the top of what I would have paid him and if that salary, I wouldn't have done 4 years, so I still dislike the move, but hopefully something we can work around.

Same comment I made about the team bringing in Edmundson while already having Chiarot: it's guys who play the exact same role/style of play. They're all guys who clear the net and block shots and hit but they don't generate any breakout or offence, they don't help on the PP, they don't help on the set O-zone play at ES. I dislike pairing these guys together and that means we have one of these guys on 100% of the time. We're going to have a lot of issues moving the puck up ice this year with these three guys all in the line-up. I'd much rather have traded for Dunn or Bean or Timmins or Bear.

Agree. I think he'll be fine at that price but would have been far better value at $2.5m Ultimately we have 3 guys (Edmundson, Chiarot & Savar) making top 4 money but one of them is going to have to play on the bottom pairing because there's no way any of them take Weber's place on the depth chart.

And they're all #4-5 D men. They can't safely play together. So we've essentially decided our goal is to be a team that lets the other squad pound shots at us and we do our best to just block them, hit the opposition, and get lucky trying to re-launch attack on the backs of a handful of faster forwards. It seems like a bad plan. Need a better option on D here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a bad plan. Need a better option on D here. Agree. You add a PMD like Hamilton to the mix & you're a world better because you have him and Petry on both of the top pairs. I just dont see how 3 of the same clone-type player is a good move. Each is fine, a quality NHL defensman but just more of the same... 2 minutes ago, BigTed3 said: Paquette 1 yr 950k Decent - both term and $.
