2019-2020 NHL Thread

Now if Matthews and Aho drew out their negotiations, this team would be going (even more) places, lack of goalie notwithstanding.

I guess under those rules (all the RFA drag it out), they'd also have Binnington, Trouba, Meier, Ho-Sang, etc.

Bam!

Oulu is quite a nice spot. Visited there in summer so had pretty close to 24 hour daylight which was a bit bizarre. Fantastic beer festival and home to the air guitar world championships

Where do you thing Gards ends up? Sounds like he really likes Toronto and I'd assume would want to reap the rewards/win here but he'd have to take a massive discount to fit. Friedge mentions several teams with interest. It's an interesting case of the NHL's middle/upper-middle class. If you want to cash in it's going to be somewhere who has the space.
 
You'd have to figure that Gardiner has to get off the pot soon if he wants to get paid in the vicinity he feels he deserves. Eventually any team still kicking his tires will tire and move on to a slightly less attractive option. It's just about last call.

I know he says that his back problem is no longer an issue. I'm just not sure everybody else is buying it.

He's not the first player to come back from injury and potential downside has never stopped a team from making a signing. I mean we took Joffrey Lupul!

Classic RH one timer to the blocker side.

Why isn't he playing in the AHL?

Because he was drafted through the CHL, Merkley is ineligible to play for the AHL until the year he turns 20.

During the CHL season only? He played 2 regular-season games for the Barracuda and 4 playoff games for them last year.

Yeah. The CHL just wants players for their year. Once it's over guys can play in the AHL.
 
So the Petes are losing tossing Merkley and likely Semyon Der-Arguchintsev this coming season (he requested a trade). I wonder if Robertson gets moved at the deadline as well to recoup some of the picks spent last season to get Merkley.
 
Chayka sure has taken a unique approach with young contracts.

It?s pretty okay if you turn it upside down.

I hope they play Keller and Kessel together.
