Today's takes...

Anyone care to guess why Carolina didn't make a serious run at Grubauer? $5.9M for a top tier G isn't a bad price.

I like Brandon Saad.

Canes had a phenomenal PK last season and they could lock down defensively when they had to, but I don't see much roster improvement defensively that would justify the head-scratching goalie bind they found themselves in. It almost seems as though either no one was listening to Ned or his agent, or the Canes believed he would stay for a team-friendly salary. I don't know, but I have a pretty good idea Ned wanted to go and the Canes went in desperation mode looking for a goalie. 

I know the Devils signed Dougie for $9M a year. But did you also know they're also paying PK Subban $9M a year? Subban's last 2 seasons in New Jersey: -21 (18 pts) and -16 (19 pts). NJ is paying Subban and Dougie almost as much as their entire roster of forwards....

We probably didn’t want to go long term. He signed for 7 with Seattle I believe. I’m almost positive we were in the conversation for him though.

According to the organization the interest in Virtanen is not true. Maybe they vetted him too and didn't like what they heard? 

 

As far as TDA goes, I don't care that he hates referees because I hate referees too. I don't care that he smarted off to a team mate, according to all reports the goalie was the one who threw the first punch anyways. The only really bad thing I've seen is the slur, and according to the interviews I've seen that was not an indicator of his true character. According to TDA he is still friends with the guy he said it to so it couldn't have been too bad.

Saad to the Blues.

Does anyone else find it interesting that we have no player under contract for the 2025 season?

I think Dundon is basically giving rod & don three years to get a cup. That’s why so many short deals. I will say FA was pretty horrid this off-season outside of a few players too.

Possible. But then you'd have to imagine that DWGM would be trading a 1st Rounder for Kuemper. And then signing Dougie to the deal he wanted because he, in theory, wouldn't care what the cap looks like beyond 2024.

Unless the order came down from on top to not sign anyone past that year.

With Saad gone to St Louis I hope they have a backup plan. We only have two natural left wingers, one of which isn’t signed yet. Only 10 forwards under contract with 15 million left but not really anything left on the market that’s worth while apparently.

      PFF Day 2 WR projection. Different take

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Coulda just kept Kyle Allen/DJ Moore/CMC if we just needed a point guard. He actually had nicer throws in 2019 than anything Bryce has put on NFL tape

      It’s possible to have a passable offense with Young at QB, but it will be all about that point guard stuff. Which, when a guy makes a play that is exciting. Mainly I am curious to find out the method of exchange from C to QB. What Young’s drops look like. If they are doing anything about under center - becoming able to snap it gun or hand to hand fluidly switching, and integrate that with play action That sauntering slowly away from the LOS ’technique’? A mandatory option?
