Lots of depth in free agent goalies

 

Varlamov

Fredrik Andersen

Tristan jarry

Adin Hill

 

  They are likely stuck with Elvis because of the bad contract but I would take any of the above if I could.

  Actually they have a very good nhl ready kid named danill tarasov who will be given every chance to steal the net leaving Elvis as a very overpriced backup.

That's why I made that hypothetical offer lol

They get Hertl a better C than anyone they have and dump a horrid goalie contract for a prospect and 3rd overall lol

Tomas Hertl 40% retained for Elvis Merzlikins, Cole Sillinger and Columbus' 3rd overall

Coming off a banner year - 25 goals, 101 pts! - he’s a Force no question about it. I do wonder if / when the age factor starts to ding his value. I rarely see the Sharks - does he show any signs of slowing down? His cap hit is, what’s the word? Astronomical…but his production is too. I wonder…

He slowed down and was perpetually injured after he came to the sharks lol.

He just had a bounce back year, and it was a career best

But a 101 point dman at 40% retained off 11.5 million would get folks looking and going "hmmm"  as it would be 6.9million

Yikes. Hell no. 

Don't like him I take it?

Ok, I stand corrected. Its possible if Arizona reaaaaly wants Michkov 4th and Carlsson and Fantilli are gone that Arizona Dangling the 6th and 12th for San jose's 4th would be a move i could get behind.

Drafting any of Will Smith, Leonard, Reinbacher or Dvorsky 6th and one of Danielson, Barlow or Willander with a 12th might be a good move because our prospect cupboard being pretty barren. I like Eklund, Shakir M and Bystedt and Havelid and i was happy they got Thrun to sign an ELC

On the other hand, the Sharks are years away as we have barely started a rebuild so waiting 3 years for Michkov might be worth it. if we suck bad enough next year maybe we can get Macklin lol

I would love to see a full on blow up next year. Trade Karlsson while his value is peak and retain 30%, Trade Hertl before he declines, trade Couture and retain 50%.. Trade Vlasic to Montreal and retain max. The retention will hurt till 2027, but this team isn't going anywhere

My Son heard a rumour that had Carter Hart + to the Sharks for the 4th overall pick.  Not sure where he heard that from but he is all over social media so he picked it up somewhere. lol.  It is always fun to throw some rumours out there.

LOL

The Sharks are rebuilding. No way are they trading the 4th overall in this draft

What's the over/under on games into the season when Patrik Laine will be requesting a trade out of Columbus?

...well this will make Columbus a hard sell for Kevin Hayes now. Damn it.

I can't believe someone is hiring him

If you prorate... Never mind, I got nuthin.

If he ever came back, I would  prorate the Seattle Kraken's 2 years in the league to 20 and how many 2nd round games they have won to compare to 20 years of the leafs.

I am sure this Lottery was a legitimate as this good old scrap between Diesel and Rob Van Damme.....Wait, i mean vinnie Vegas and Robbie V

In fact, I think they NHL used Scott Steiner math to determine the odds

Get working those phones, Danny B...to trade for one of those top 2 picks.

I doubt any of the top 4 picks are moving.

I prefer Michkov and Carlsson to Fantilli myself. I just didn't like what i saw from Fantilli live lol

I agree with @ruxpin .... there was never a doubt he was going to Chicago .....

 

The NHL should show the drawing of the balls live ....not in secret.

Nothing shady about this draw. I mean the ESPN guy reading off a script blundered and read the results before they even drew the 3rd ball LOL

Nothing sha

avalanche, bolts, and bruins out, leafs advance. cant say i had that on my playoff bingo card.

Well, this series has finally gotten interesting

If it goes to game 7, I look forward to the total panic I'll see from my buds lol

They used to give me a lot of grief over the sharks choking despite the finals and conference finals appearances , but I recent years I've just been living off of the fact that they would act like they won a cup if they just got out of the 1st round.

It takes some serious choking to not win a series in nearly 20 years while making the playoffs for most of them.

I can actually act happy the sharks are crap right now because this draft is good lol

The only problem with it being "clean" is that McCann is not eligible to be hit in that situation.

Nor is he guarding himself expecting to be hit. if anything he figured play was dead and was completely not expecting and thus, not protecting himself.

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED THIS YEAR!

 

It was a slightly different format than in past years.  Having 16 teams was certainly a challenge.  I would like to keep the same format for next year.

 

Congrats to @yave1964 who again brings home the gold!

 

Here are the final standings 2022-23 Season....

 

So the draft will be a bit different than in previous years.  We are going more NHL style and invert the draft order based on finish.  This will only affect 1st through 8th.  Obviously with Dave being the Champion, he will draft 16th. @J0e Th0rntonis runner up and will draft 15th, etc ......

 

The 8 GMs who did not make the playoffs will have a certain # of weighted balls to determine draft order via this link: https://www.fantasydraftlottery.com/draftResults.html

 

 

the number of balls I used came from the NHL Tankathon and I just rounded up

 

        (Obviously disregard the NHL teams)

 

The final result is this .......

 

 

since I had a hard time finding GM's this year, everyone is invited back.  If you do not want to participate next year, please let me know.

 

Again ...thanks for a great year!

 

~doc

 

 

I get hosed  lol

Drafted 13th this year in our first random draft and by finishing 2nd, I now draft 2nd last at 15th

Fortunately,  I love challenges!

Maybe. Depends what he wants for a contract. 

Congratz @yave1964on yet another chanpionship. Oh how i tried and for a brief day i thought it was possible to catch ya and repeat 2018 lol

I hear he has world class skill, how is his motivation? We don’t want another Alexi Kovalev, a guy with high end skill who only showed up when he felt like it.

I like what i see in the little I have seen. I wish he played at this years world juniors, but alas. im just happy i got to sit in the Zamboni pit for Canada's gold medal win lol

I'm bored so what the hell.  Saw some discussions in the other thread and decided it deserved its own thread ....

 

Title of thread says it all ......  If available, should the Flyers draft Matvei Michkov, C (Sochi, KHL)?

 

I can see valid points on both sides of this discussions ....

 

Does it matter where the Flyers are picking?  Obviously if the Flyers win the lottery and are picking #1 or #2 the picks will will be either Bedard or Fantilli.  Even if everything falls their way, the best position they could pick without winning the lottery is 5th.  (3rd and 4th are out). 

 

So what if the Flyers are picking #5 do you select Michov if available?

So what if the Flyers are picking #6 do you select Michov if available?

So what if the Flyers are picking #7 do you select Michov if available?

So what if the Flyers are picking #8 do you select Michov if available?

 

If Michov is available at #7/#8 that means he is dropping because of his Russian heritage and KHL contract.  If the Flyers are picking #5/#6 I would see who else is available and weigh heavily vs. selecting Michov.  If the Flyers are picking #7/#8 and he is available, the higher end Top Tier prospects might not be there and selecting Michov might not be a bad option.  Of course the other option is trading back, but I personally would rather not.

 

Thoughts?

 

 

 

 

If he doesn't get drafted at least 3rd, whoever doesn't outside of Bedard will regret it for 20 years

Possibly one of the dumbest moves I have ever made lol

Im getting my arse kicked, but the score is still 7-9 lol

My team forgot how to score this week. And watching my D squad go down injured with only 1 move left sucks considering we are so close in hits and blocks lol

Im considering gambling and starting carter hart tonight. Benching Saros in hopes Saros looks like crap(Rad is carrying him in NAHANA too)

in fact, as i said it, im going for it. Splitting wins just ties me in that category. I need to flip Wins and GAA and get a shorthanded point to make a fight of this

@bbgarnettgreat match man. It flip flopped back and forth a few times. I think that sharks Arizona game saved me from a loss

See you in the finals, not gonna lie I was rooting for dumba because I match up better and Hellboy has something to play for and won't be rested in the 12 day 'week'. Good luck my friend, here again, going for one for the thumb ....

Congratz on kicking my arse in Cup Quest in your first year and making the finals lol. im rooting for you there

here, I am hoping the law of averages kicks in and I can beat you for the first time this year! But good luck! May both of our teams shine!
