Might depend on deployment. The last 3 years he was 36G, 29G, 38G at 5v5, 18G, 9G, 12G on PP. He did shoot a blistering 19.0%, so if that goes back down to 13.6% on his average 252 shots, that's about 34G.

+ Healthy Matthews' __ more goals? Last year, Matthews' injury caused a dip to his shooting percentage to 12.6%, which is still a high-end percentage; the previous 69-goal season he was on a heater for 18.7%, which is his highest but technically not an aberration as he hit 18.5% (2020-21) and...

I like the way the camp is being run. Victor Johansson sounds like he has turned a corner with his physical growth.

That’s very fair; I think the team is well positioned to capitalize if something shakes loose, say in November when some teams start to separate themselves from the pack in the wrong direction. The most likely option would be a rather expensive player with a bit of trade control that wants to...

It’s July 3rd and I would’ve been way more upset if Treliving added a lot of free agents, given that the players on the market were collectively both (mostly) expensive and underpowered. Let’s see what other trades materialize (Maccelli, Roy). Rosters are a work in progress until after the...

I think there’s an app for this?

They really want to avoid one specific issue lol

There is almost no reason to talk to Hlacar (7th rd pick) and Parsons (AHL depth), but because they got into a fight, they get some screen time. Everyone else (Cowan, Danford, Koblar) are 'top' picks.

We absolutely would've lost Matthews for 3 wks mid-season if the Leafs signed Boeser (Turkey trip).

It doesn’t even have much to do with Marner; Carolina is not destined for success with the way they play. Regular season cardio merchants. And my anti-Marner stance is like 3+ years old now; I don’t think it’s all that related.

Fits the Hurricanes at a nice price; I don't think it gets them past the Leafs, let alone the Panthers though.

Mark Giordano knows how to make an appearance.

Gio! Friendly fracas

I think he is a coach’s dream (other than not being 6’4” all day), and I think coaches that are trying to win can’t help themselves but overuse him. He’s a one-stop-shop for just about everything a coach wants accomplished on the ice that’s not forecheck-1. I’m not saying he’s not good for all...

Isn't Cowan the Konecny at home? (unless he is parlayed into a 2C)

Oooh, okay, yeah that makes sense, now that I understand your statement. I think you're right; biggest net talent drop off sure. But I also think his importance was a bit overstated because of deployment, which seems like a coaching decision, but given everything else we've heard feels like...
