Ya, TDA is way way faster than Dougie. 

Honestly not trying to stay on the TDA subject but I was surprised with the power of his shot too. Hopefully he can behave I think his skillet in our system is phenomenal.

 

Subject change Svech seems to have his swagger back and has definitely gotten stronger in the off-season.

Svech and Martinook. That shot from Marty was golden, I don’t think he had one last year for the most part that went within’ feet of the goal outside a few lucky bounces but that one had accuracy and power.

The fourth line was excellent, they were far more than an energy line last night, a little weird seeing Aho get the A and Martinook not have it but he was great last night.

With that many Finns Aho has gotta have the A. Martinook is still an alternate so I assume him and Aho are gonna rotate depending on the game and situation.

I like TDA the player but I absolutely hate him as a person. 

It's a conundrum. 

Say hello, Greg Hardy....

That being said, he thumped whoever that was in the 1st on that break. When was the last time you saw Dougie do that... if ever?

I'll say this for the more casual hockey fans... Even more so than football don't get attached to players trades and fa movement are so commonplace you will only be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Yep. Most of that is because the NHL has kept the salary cap as simple as it can possibly be and as long as the annual cap number isn't ridiculous, you won't see an A-Rod or Albert Pujols type contract in the NHL. I prefer it that way over having to hire some Ivy League educated capologist just to have an elementary understanding. That being said, there are some loopholes that could be closed in the NHL system (Tampa Bay Lightning and their $92M roster last season).

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
