Duchene's goal, assist lead Predators to 6-4 win over Devils
"Matt duchene collected two points while the predators were scoring three times in the third period to defeat the devil 6 to four. The last three games we've, you know, we've beaten teams. We haven't hung on or we didn't have to rely on our goaltenders to steal this one. It was, you know, games where we've come out in one games. Duchenne snapped a three three tie in the final period and set up the eventual game winner by Philip forsberg. Cody glass calls Smith Michael green and Tanner, you know, also scored for Nashville, which has won three straight and 5 of 6. UC sorrows made 36 saves and getting the victory. Jack Hughes had a goal and an assist and dougie Hamilton set up three goals in New Jersey's second regulation loss this month. I'm Dave ferry.

"With this team, and I don't feel bad for them. It's by their own doing, but they've got so much money committed and guys who are 30 plus in terms of age for many years down the road. And so I don't meaningfully, I don't know really what you do beyond if an opportunity comes up to shed one of those contracts, I would just do it. Without even worrying about making my team worse right now and what I'd get back in return, like if I could just get as much of a clean slate as I could, I think that's a route and go. Yeah, there's a definition of a mushy metal team. I mean, they've lost in the first round a bunch over the years. They don't have a ton of high end prospects. If you look at the roster and forsberg Duchenne and Johansson, they're not a cup contending big screen. I don't know, you know, it doesn't matter what else is going on around them. And they're making 24.5 million combined over at least the next three years. Some of the contracts go further like that's a whole lot of just mediocrity and like on their own, those players are valuable. They're good. But just the way that the roster has been structured, it's a lot of B plus players, not enough a player is like a yossi and aceros. So, I mean, my actual answer to this would be to blow it up beyond saros and maybe yosi although he's aging, right? So maybe he's on the way out, but that's obviously unrealistic, especially when we're talking with David poyle. A guy who's basically has a lifetime contract there and clearly making the playoffs is an objective. So I think the more realistic answer is probably to figure out when is this team going to go all in. So I would say it's not going to be this year. But say if you pick two years from now, I don't know, maybe you think Cody glass is going to pop or tomasino is going to be this real important player. Well then build towards that that moment. Get out of that mushy middle at some point. Use your first to acquire young players and have them grow within your group and maybe like you said, get off one of these, these bigger contracts. It's a little disappointing, honestly, how they've how their season's gone, 'cause I thought the need a rider, acquisition was pretty good in the off season. I thought Ryan mcdonagh was considering the price was nothing. Mind you, I'm he's obviously, he's old and he's battered and he's not quite the player he used to be, but I came into this season pretty optimistic about the prior as far as making the postseason and maybe making some noise, but it's almost same old story. I mean, John, they have $56 million in commitments on the following players. Philip forsberg, Matt duchene, Ryan Johansson, Michael Brandon, tourists Baháʼí OC McDonough and echo.

Vegas overcomes Forsberg's hat trick, beats Nashville in OT
"Nicholas haig scored a two O four of overtime to give the golden knights a 5 four win over the predators. I signed it like that. Especially after giving up late one there, that was a little tough, but nobody stuck with it. Chandler Stevenson had a goal and two assists. He can call us our provider to go on an assist and Mark stone set up three goals. The predators lost despite Philip forsberg's hat trick, the knights led four two in the third period before forsberg scored twice, including on a 6 on four with 3.3 seconds left in regulation.

"The athletic in game score value added and their entire forward group ranks 23rd in the league with just 9.8 wins, which is very underwhelming. And it's interesting because it's something that everybody could see coming. Like, sure, they were expecting progression from Tanner to know. He was a good player to have last year and you know need writer at its contract. I think was a very good value add for them, but this is a team that for the last couple of years has not been good enough and then got really hot goaltending at the right time and decided let's just go for it and that's fine if they want to maximize their core of Roman university and Philip forsberg and UC SARS absolutely. I get it. But it's really hurting them that they not once took that step back to really assess and figure out where they could go from here where they actually would be headed in the playoffs because we can see how much it's hurt their progression. Last year they had a couple forwards who could carry the puck into the zone. That was it, you know, Greenland could a little bit. Did you change it a little bit? Forsberg did a lot and then Roman yossi, you know, a defenseman with more caring than anybody else, really, because they're forward group, which you expect to take on that role, just wasn't doing it. So it just feels like this team if they're going to have any chance of anything this year. And you know, there's still a chance of the playoffs for them and there's chance that sorrows after a slower start turns it around. They really need to figure out how to punch up this offense a little bit more with some puck movers and with some skill to go with the team that they've assembled and obviously injuries hurt them. They can't control that, but they just at their healthiest as constructed are not good enough to do more than, you know, get to the first or second round.

Kevin Lankinen makes 48 saves, Predators beat Islanders 4-1
"Matthew Shane had a goal and two assists as the predators won for the second straight night, four one over the islanders. Kevin Lincoln handled 48 shots in black the isles until Matt bar zell beat a midway through the third period. Philip forsberg and Roman yossi each had a goal on an assist for Nashville, which was coming off a comeback when it New Jersey. Michael Greenland also scored for the predators. Grand limit duchene scored into empty nets. The islanders have dropped two straights into four game winning streak. They've won just twice in their last 13 meetings with the predators.

"It seems like if special costs not score and Martin HS is nice, I think he's one of the players we chatted about last year as well. With a cam, he's having a real solid brachial campaign. Maybe the offense starts to come and packs Petra and he gets into the lineup in the new year potentially off that Achilles and jury, but when they put, Noah said on that power play in south Jarvis, I think a lot of people had expectations for it. It's a team that just, again, a special cost no score. They're not scoring any goals. I can't really figure them out because they dominate play as well. They're really good defensively. Yeah, they got shut out by corral the thrill of alcohol last night who's been playing remarkably well in November. I believe it was one of the best colleagues in the league. Yeah, I would buy on set at the Jarvis, actually. If you look at his numbers last year when he kind of burst on the seat as a teenage rookie compared to now, a lot of those underlying metrics have actually gone up. He's being used more. He's generating more. He just hasn't scored at all. I think he's shooting like 7% himself, the team with him on the ice is around 6%. Both of those will go up. And he's so important to them as a creator. I know they've mixed and matched the lines because they've been understandably frustrated by how hard the offense has been to come by. But I think they still ultimately want to have him and ajo as the one two punch on the top line. And so if you can get him, he might even be getting dropped in some leagues because he's only got like three goals and 7 points so far. He's someone who I think has the upside to build off of what he did last year and once those goals start coming, he's going to benefit from him. But yeah, it's been pretty frustrating. It's been kind of a commitment to the bit by the hurricanes in terms of getting a lot of Shaw volume, but not being able to actually turn it into actual goals. Right. Yeah, I agree with you on set Jarvis too. If he's a guy that has a lot of shares of I'm hanging tight where I can and you're right, he is getting dropped in some formats. He's a nice little player. And the opportunity is there for him. Again, I feel like this team may look a little bit differently when different when they get ready in there. I want to bring up UC parson into you as well, because you I keep talking about him. We're seeing him getting a real opportunity in Nashville, of course, he was a big pred sky, but I've really noticed him. I mean, his first NHL goal is, I don't want to say it was tage Thompson like, but a big body who took it out wide and with a little bit of speed looks like he's got some nice hands and he cut it in. And went hard to the net. I mean, he took up a massive hit on that play as well and still put the puck in the back of the net. He's getting an opportunity to play with Nashville's best score and Philip forsberg on that first line. Gremlins moved to the wing and he's playing an opportunity to play on power plays too. And even I noticed with the game on the line the other night, it was a tie game. He's out there. He's getting responsibility. It's not like it's like, oh, you know he's a young kid or just a taste of the NHL and we're going to kind of scale him back a little bit

"Spoiled us into thinking that that was just a regular thing to expect from him when in reality it was a real herculean effort from him and especially with the volume of games they were playing. I mean, to the point where he finally broke down at the end of the season and got hurt and visit their playoff series against Colorado is already started, I believe, ten of their 13 games this season so far. So there's that and then offensively, I think you're almost understating what an aberration last year it was. Yeah. They never had a 35 goal or 90 point player in franchise history prior to last season. And then Matt duchene scores 43 goals. Philip forsberg scores 42 goals. Roman yossi hits 96 points. And if you look at the shooting percentages of all those players, both on ice shooting percentage and individual, and they were through the roof. I mean, Brian Johansson 22%, ten or 19.4. Duchenne and forsberg both just under 19. And I think maybe the thing I mistakenly gloss over in my expectations and I was like, all right, well, they can just repeat what they did last year was kind of expecting that to happen again because that seems like that was probably the best case scenario for pretty much every one of those players. Yeah. For sure. No. And so like I said, just the idea that, well, you know, they can be around the playoffs again. It's like no, again, they barely made it. And all that stuff went right for them. So the idea that you would add. McDonough and neater writer, again, both players I like. And go, oh, they can maybe even take a step. It's like, no, they can maybe get back to where they were because they added those plans. And obviously, it's not happening happening for them so far. So here's the thing. Even beyond this season, they have $56 million in cap commitments.

"To be, I think they're going to be pretty good though. Not in terms of competing for a Stanley Cup, but they're not going to be a bad team. No, they basically, they actually have pretty good off season, I think in terms of Nino was great. They adenine no one McDonald without necessarily sacrificing anything. Well, and I think sorry, McDonough and at home could be a lot of fun, even though there's not a ton of push from that pair. Obviously that pair would have been unreal 5 years ago. This now though, I still think it's going to be fun because they're both so smart defensively and so tough. At the end of the day, it's really hard for me to not have a team with Philip forsberg on it in the top half, but there's just a couple of things that Nashville does on a team level over reliance on point shots on the power play that I find like take away from my enjoyment. Like if I'm watching them, I'm gonna get frustrated, watching some of the things they do. Another one is when all their forwards are standing at the blue line waiting for Romano seed enter the zone. There's just certain elements phases of the game that always happen when I'm watching the predators that I find myself being like, why? Why do you do it that way? You've compared Roman Josie to an inefficient shooting guard. Yeah, he's a hero ball shooting guard. Yeah. Yeah, and it just takes away from my enjoyment. I see lots of opportunity cost when I watch the natural predators and that's not fun for anyone. Yeah, well, I came up a lot last year when everyone was trying to make the point of how valuable he was. It was like, look how look how much he's doing and it's like, yeah, that's kind of the point. That's the problem here, right? Not that they had such better alternatives, but I think we'd all agree that when you're trying to map out how you want your team to operate offensively, you typically don't try to get your sponsor everything trying to get your entire defenseman a hundred points. Seems like a really bad way to especially when you have like actual dynamic playmakers, like even like even gremlin like the resurgence of Shane at last year, like you have players who can do really cool stuff with the puck in the offensive zone, those should be the guys who always have the puck, not any defenseman as good as dynamic as Roman yeast. Also shout out to a short king using Soros at some point. Super fun. At some point over the last 15 years, hockey people decided that goalies had to be between 6 two and 6 5 and sorrows is sorrows being good at 5 11 is hopefully going to change a little bit of that. I think that the reason why there's no good goalies and Canadian hockey right now is because we select for the goalies just based on size. As opposed to athleticism. And Soros is super fun to watch.

"Where are the game stats? So you mentioned it a bit right before we went on a little taffer tirade. But cap rescue is kind of what the bruins sort of need this off season. And it's funny, we always mentioned who should they get? Who do they need? You know, we mentioned free agents, Vinny tro check, or closure, or even Philip forsberg, and those are terrific terrific options. But there is one thing that's standing in the way of getting those guys and getting certain players in here. And that is the cap. Salary cap. The bruins are not in a terrific cap situation. Even when free agency hits, they do not have a ton because again, if you want to resign bergeron and sort of all these things factor into it. And that's why a guy like Curtis bazaar does not really seem like he's a fit here, given that he probably could go make a lot more and have a bigger role somewhere unless they want to make him like a third line player, then I would imagine he might stay. He'll go the nola chari route and go to a team, score like 20 goals in the season and boom, it's done like that. But so it means you gotta get creative. You gotta get creative with this roster. And I think right now there are 6 contracts on the books. Not saying they all need to go, but I'm saying these are candidates that if you'd like to free up space or you'd like to make a trade or in one case a buyout, you can find ways to either get better or open up cap space to then get better in free agency or a subsequent trade. So I think we both agree that Nick foligno probably needs to get bought out. Again, great guy, great guy. But probably needs to get bought out. The number I did not write down, I think the cap hit would be 1.9 million.

"The hell do you put between them? And that's why. I mean, again, I think it bergeron comes back. I do think going out and signing a guy like drew. If you can find a way to make it work, makes a lot of sense. But again, his, you know his money's gonna be high. Andrew cops money's gonna be high because these guys just had sick. Numbers when they went to their new teams. And that's the other thing. That's why free agency is so dangerous because you're paying these guys so much money and it's tough to tell again like Jerusalem a little bit more stable with points, but like would you pursue like an Andrew cop? Or would you sign like Philip forsberg to a big long-term deal? Yeah, I mean, I think it all just depends on what the long-term view is, right? Because it's one of those guys like a cop. I don't know if that's a guy that moves the needle in terms of building for that next generation. I caught maybe you add to put you over the top if bergeron's back, but let's say it's one where Ford's world would make a little bit more sense in terms of like a legit franchise piece that you add to this core, kind of like lintel and where you got maybe four or 5 years of elite play from him and you're trying to win then. When a guy like, let's say mcavoy's 27 28 as well. But I mean, it's tough, like this free agent class you have some good solid pieces out there. It's just how much cap flexibility do you have? Because again, let's just say it got like four. Great player. Bruins fans would love him. I'm sure that he'd try some bruins tends to be Pis because he's too flashy. He's not Gritty enough. But legit talent. He is a beast. So I think that's one situation you'd look at it in that way..

"It's not like last year we had kind of a blank check to try to cover up some of the flaws you had on that team. And I think it's also difficult with this team because again, like you would ideally, let's see, let's say bergeron comes back, right? Ideally you would want to put a real second line center behind him, right? Whether that be Claude Giroux or signing Philip forsberg. But if de brusco is, you also kind of need another top 6 wing, but if de bruss goes that frees up cap space, so do you want to be adding cap space back? Again, these are not easy decisions. These are not easy, like you could kind of have to give and take. I put more way more of a premium on you need a consistent second line center. Like, and again, Eric holla was good during the regular season. But I just think for future's sake, especially if bergeron leaves. If bergeron retires and you go into next season with coil, holla, no sec, like foligno down the middle, you have a problem. Then it's like okay..

"Yeah, I mean, one, it's your giving up a 5th round pick. You're getting a conditional 7th round pick back. So what have you there? And again, you're looking at even if Brown is literally just a depth piece that it's almost like a ton ority where if you bring one to line, if needed, if it gets physical, you can bring them in and see what he adds to the scene. More insurance than anything, but even that role is going to offer more than what senator was going to bring to this team, right? At this point, the bridges were burned, I think, finished and had a trade request out there since December I want to say. So who's right after de brusque went public and he was like, wait, I can do this too? Oh shit. But yeah, even if his number has been pretty solid down the AHL this season, I don't know how much he was really going to help out this team in the immediate future for how much time he has left here. So might as well send him and his father hopefully he should benefit from. I mean, he's from Ottawa that satine that could use just minutes at this point. So he could probably get his shot to see if he took up the NHL level. And again, an asset that bruins weren't going to have moving forward in terms of maximizing the value. So at a depth piece and at the very least could help you out or at least round out your depth ahead of the playoff push. Yeah. No, I had no issue with that deal. Again, but I expected more from Monday. And so the more is people thought, okay, they're gonna go for a top 6 winger at the least, right? A Conor Garland to Philip forsberg, neither got moved, Ricard Raquel. He went to Pittsburgh for I believe a second. Two younger players like Zac Ashton Reese and Dominic Simon. Simone..

"You're looking at 7 years. Before you're legit, and that's because the players you draft are going to take their 18, 1920, most cases before they even get in the league. And then a couple of years past that before they start to really find their stride. That's 5 years. And that's if it works. They've got unrestricted free agents. Dominic kubelet, Calvin de Haan, Marc Andre fleury. They'll get a draft pick for Ryan Carpenter because he's a functional fourth line player. But they got to move them all. Yeah. Looks like Brian Campbell, the old, you know, the retired defenseman and is really tight with Davidson. He's going to be in the front office in a significant role there. They've had lots of time to plan for this. Davidson's has been the interim general manager almost the whole season. And you know the part of their meetings are, okay, if I get, if I get to take over full time, what are we going to do? And the times now. But I think the cane tapes stuff for you for your question. And even Seth Jones, if that's part of the deal, that stuff's more summer than deadline. I think. Yeah. And you have to massage your way through that with no move contracts and all that. Sure. David pyle has come out, general manner of the Nashville predators. And has made it abundantly clear that their focus is on extending Filip forsberg. There's preliminary talks, not a lot of progress made in the dialog with Philip forsberg's agent. When you look at him statistic and again, because he's a pending unrestricted free agent, that's where the speculation comes from. Could he hit the market? If he hits the market, then Nashville is in big trouble, right? Do they make their diamonds? If he hits the market, they're done. Yeah. How do you explain that to ownership? Because for the most part, I mean, they've come back down to earth here in the second half, but they had a good first half of the regular season. Put themselves. Now, how does David poyle explain it? Or how do I explain it? Well, I'm more interested in your explanation because well, because David Boyle's way is going to be different than mine. My way is going to say, the reason we couldn't find forsberg is because we have Matt duchene and Ryan johansen had $8 million a year. Right. And both of them are way overpaid. And we have Roman yossi 9 million. So forsberg has to fit in between those numbers. That's how you would explain it. I'm not sure the general manager that's made those trades and signings is going to explain it the same way. Well, and to your point, you know, and you can always pontificate, but JP Barry CA, all the big hitters in the agent world. They've done their math. They've done their comps on all of these things, right? And if forestburg were go to the where to go to the open market, I think they strongly believe he'd get 9 plus. So is he willing to leave money on the table because Roman UC needs to be the human salary cap on the national predators. We're about what he believes there, right? There's lots of this to it. How does he get along with the coach?.

"Of things starting. The Philip forsberg trade rumors are in full swing, which is just exactly what you expected, right? Yeah, it's funny when it's funny when the predators were here, like a month ago and they were one of the best teams in hockey. They fallen sense. They're like fourth in the central now, I think, and they've kind of hit a rut. I'm right on this, right? I think so they beat the Panthers recently, which is obviously a big deal, but they lost foreign row before that. Yeah, so yeah. I mean, I don't even know what they're doing because I think we were all in agreement last year that you looked at that team, they didn't really have a loaded prospect pool. You don't really expect them to go anywhere. Last year, it's kind of the year to start selling guys off, right? I mean, if you traded foods work with a year of control, you get a huge return. And you had guys like at home, which we talked about for about 40 episodes of this podcast. So I mean, the fact that they go out, they don't sell, they then resign at home in a few other guys, and now they get to this point where, again, kind of up and down, but you kind of looked at the way they played. That's a team that if they get into the playoffs, wouldn't surprise me if they punch and grind their way through a couple of rounds. I mean, they're a pretty tough physical team. So now all of a sudden, be like, well, yeah, we're going to move our best a far and away our best offensive player. Like, all right, what exactly are we doing here? Yeah, I'm interested in this, because again, you see Soros has the potential as you said to get hot and carry them to playoff series. He was an all star and everything. So Forza works at target, he has a cap hit of 6 million per year. He's a UFA at the end of this year, which is, I think, why they're kind of dumping him. I think aside from the bruins, I think this does it at a bigger point. The team's value, and I don't think there's anything new, but they value top four left shot defenseman way more than they value wingers. I think the predators look at this and granted, I'm not a predator's expert. So I'm not inside information punching this radio right now..

"New. Everything's fresh. Yeah. So I think what Bruce has been able to do is just take the heat off a little bit and say, yeah, this is what we're going to play like. And this is how we're going to play and just go play. Yeah. And there's a couple of things. They've had some in the four games. They've had some good schedule breaks. They've gotten teams on back to back nights. They've been fresh. They've been at home. Their energized. Oh yeah, and their goalie is to stop in the pock again at 95%. Right. I'm not throwing cold water on at all. I'm just trying to be realistic. If Thatcher demko stops a pocket 95% for the rest of the year, they're going to win a hell of a lot of games. The weaknesses are still there and Jim Rutherford has addressed them in his press conference. They need to be faster by his note. He wants to be more aggressive. He sees the holes in the team. I think everybody can see the holes in the team, but you can't fix them all in a week. No. No. And so they'll be ups and downs and, but, you know, I live in Vancouver. It's nice, not to step on a pile of crap all the time. Every time the team walks around, it's nice to watch a team and go, ah, even if they lose, you go, no, that was good. Yeah. Because it's been so negative for so long. It's just it's been miserable for any can not hockey fan. And now they get a breath of fresh air. Give us an assessment of the two Alberta teams. You know, we're poised to do the Maple Leafs in the Edmonton liners tonight being Tuesday night as we record this. The floundering right now, they've lost 5 in a row. So take us through what your thoughts are on why things aren't going their way. And not that we need to get into the COVID conversation again, but that's where the Calgary flames are, but aside from that, you know, what do you see in Calgary? Okay, so start an Edmonton. How many games do you think Mike Smith has played this year? Yeah, not many. Like, did you have a guess? Yeah. Who would have 26? So they've been playing with their second and third goalie for 24 of 26 games. When Miko koskinen one 11 games early, he had the highest goal support of any goalie in the league. Yeah. Right now he's in a 9 O 5 save percentage, I think, and three 5 goals against average as I'm doing research for the game here on Tuesday. How are you going to win with that? Yeah. You can't. And so eventually, it leaks out into everything else. They lost Cody CC. They lost Duncan Keith. Well, there's their second pair. Yeah, right? Gone. Then you get up front. Their power play was running at 50%. Well, that's not going to happen. No. All the time. And so as it's tumbles back to earth, they start losing the special team battle more and more and more. Their bottom 6 forwards haven't scored forever. Well, part of the issue with that is they're number three center who was hoping to be Derek Ryan. It's just not worked. He's not been a real disappointment. So now you have a cloud playing in the middle of their third line. He doesn't have an assist yet. Well, how do you think his wingers are doing? Yeah. I'm very good. So there's your Euler story. I think if you would have started the year and said they're going to be 16 and ten, you would have said pretty good. Pretty good. It's Larry David would say, pretty pretty pretty good. However, now there's stumbling around and you're like, man, look at the panic has set in. They're a flawed team that needs their goalie back. And if he can't come back, they're screwed. As for Calgary, remember when Mark strom had a 48 save shadow? Well, he's got 5 shutouts. The coaches know the teams know that's not always going to happen. And he was scoring goals literally every game, not going to happen. Yeah. They've won four out of 12 games on whole mice. So they're your issues right there for Calgary. But I think in the long picture, you look at them and you go, they're both in, they both have a good record for this time of the year. There's going to get hot again and then they're going to get cold again. He'll Colorado was losing games all over the place when they were injured. Now they're winning because they score literally 7 goals a game. Yeah. That's not going to happen. That's not going to continue to happen. No. So I think that's where the Alberta teams. They've hit the ditch. Yeah. All right, well you mentioned Colorado Pittsburgh is a good story among our American Friends. But why don't we wrap up headlines with Nashville? Did you see this team challenging? Potentially challenging for the central division at the start of the year. I mean, they've won, you know? No chance. You know, at four for a lot of reasons, you know, I wondered how UC sorrows was going to take the number one job and just do it all the time. How could he do that? He's been fantastic. Matthias at home and Philip forsberg during the last year, other contracts. You know, so that can either go good or bad. Well, at home, they got signed early. Forsberg was hurt, came back and scored four goals and I think his second game back, like you're like, no, no, I'm not too shame. It's found his game again. Pretty good. So now you've added some offense to a team that's always been able to skate. Duchenne's probably been as big a key for them as any. Without him, they become pretty thin, but I didn't, I didn't see this. I mean, they traded Ryan Ellis. Could that be a good thing? Yeah, here they are and they're in a really good position. I would say John Heinz is a very underrated coach. Not just because they won 5 games here. Yeah, he's a progressive guy. He wants his teams to play a real offensive style. Of course, you're going to have the guys to do it. But I've been impressed with Nashville, man. You know, you've said that so many times before it's the old adage, right? The player wants more ice. He goes to the coach. The coach says, well, you want more ice play better. Player says, well, play me with better players. Back and forth, they go and I feel like there's finally been this compromise and a relationship that's been developed between Matt duchene and John Heinz, where the player is playing better and that allows John Heinz to play him more. Well, they spoke in the summer and Heinz and Duchenne apparently had a pretty honest not always chipper conversation. And Duchenne told him what was bugging him and Heinz told him what was bugging him and I always go back to when John tortorella and Vinny le cavallier were going to strangle each other and Jay feaster called them both in the office and said, I'm not tradeing you and I'm not firing you. Figure it out. Meetings. And they won the Stanley Cup because they figured it out.

"And I think the one name you hear quite a lot in terms of getting parallels to his career is like a guy like David pasternak who went from. Yeah, yeah, went from the SHL came over to North America. You expected a learning curve really wasn't was almost, I think a point per game guy in Providence got bumped up to the NHL 18 the rest is history. Very, very unfair to put that kind of expectation on Fabian myself with arguably the best goal scorer in the league, a guy who I mean, how many teams kicking themselves are not taking him when you saw how quickly his development curve was. So I think for bruins fans, even if lysell starts this upcoming year in the WHL, and he plays in Vancouver, that's any reps, especially considering how tough the last few years have been for prospects is a step in the right direction. So let's say he goes to WHL and you know, he piles on points playing against guys his age, that's a great step in the right direction. If he makes that jump up to Providence, that's great. The number is probably won't be as flash as they are on WHL, but he's learning on the fly as an 18 year old. So whichever step he takes, it's a positive one, but I think just for bruins fans, when it comes to these prospects, you know, you can't expect a David poster every time you have an Uber skilled guy added to the pipeline. And so it's mostly just about preaching patients, right? It's about having a player and having rolling with the punches as they go through your development because how many times look at let's say a guy like our hova and iron in who you looked at maybe 2017, 2018. You're like, all right, this guy by 2019 is going to be a top four fixture. It doesn't work out that way. You know, whether it's injuries or hitting a wall at some point or other factors going to a lot can change over the span of a guy's development. So patients has to be preached for gallic wise, but that being said, you should still be very excited about what he brings to this pipeline as a whole. You said the word patience. He's 18. Again, we can't be expecting. Let me remember Rasmus to lean and we know it's kind of comparing different things. But rass was to lean comes into the league at around, I believe 18 with the savers. I've read these up in Buffalo. But he's a guy who's taken some more time than most people think or most people thought sort of acclimate to the league. You have to expect that with lysell. And don't immediately think that he's untreatable or anything. But you might have an asset there to trade. If you really were going for a big gun, maybe you have something there. That's what the weekend discussed when that avenue opens and also inevitable storyline pops up. Yes. I mean, you don't want to be doing like a Philip forsberg type trade for like Martin era. You know, you don't want to be trading, Fabian lifestyle for some jabroni second line right winger or something. You know, you want to do this when you signed when he signs with a team from the cage. John comes back over there. Yes, exactly. So temper the expectations with lysell a little bit, but enjoy the highlights. Enjoy the highlights, 'cause I guarantee there will be quite a few this year wherever he ends up, whether that be the WHL, Providence, Boston. Another guy who another winger in the pipeline for the bruins, who the bruins expect a good amount of is Jacob loco..

Need a defenseman hampus lindholm Matthias at home don't break up. Colton prego I think is a free agent. Yep. So if you got a cap Kyle tourists if you really wanted like a kind of an average type classic center in NASA how do you get that as a cadre as well? Adam Fox is a UFA. I don't think he'll get there but. There's a lot of options. And there's a lot of ways you can sort of rebuild down the middle if you wanted to. I mean it's completely open. You can do that. Now again some of these guys are going to command some money. But if you can get some of them on the cheap do it. I mean that's why this upcoming free agent class thinks you'd be a lot different. And I'm very curious to see what the market's going to be like. What are the prices going to be of these guys? What are guys going to be making? Who's going to set the market? Because again I don't know you know if Philly has drew and couturier up in the same off season did they resign them both? You know what is malkin getting in Pittsburgh? He's going to be you know he's 36. You go on the list. I mean what guys could be making. Giordano's up as well. I doubt that that's someone that the bruins would ever be in on. But yeah I mean hurdles an interesting one Raquel Raquel's been a name that burns has been linked to forever. Philip forsberg there's real options there. I'm curious if they actually do anything with them though. Yeah. And I think it's going to come down to just what the cap situation is. And it's a tough situation going into next year because again it just seems like the timing is.

"We asked him if the Preds are having some issues, with their star forwards not producing $16 million combined in terms of cap it, Ryan, Joe Hansen and Matthew Shane are the fifth highest paid top six center combination in the league and the four teams ahead of them. Toronto Badminton, Pittsburgh and Washington. Those eight players, which includes Austin Matthews, John to various economy David Lee on dry sidle Sidney Crosby of getting Malkin, Niklas Backstrom of getting Kuznetsov. All of those players are either MVPs Stanley Cup Champions Future Hall of Fame. Ear's, none of which Matthew Shane and Ryan Joe Hanson can claim the Predators have needed their top players to step up. Philip Forsberg certainly has. He had five points against the Panthers last week in the first game, but do chain Jo Hanson. And to a lesser extent, Viktor Arvidsson have been M I a A on the score sheet, and this team can't win. If those players are playing like that. No Joe Hansen by the way tonight or Mattias Ek home on the back and his wife is giving birth. So a couple of key players Out tonight, and we also asked Bingen if the Preds need to make some hard decisions regarding the roster sooner rather than later. I mean, this is certainly a team in transition. This does feel like a bridge year. So to speak for this group, considering the 56 game schedule and the changes they made to the roster. I feel like this is a year where the organization needs to analyze itself from top to bottom, then make hard decisions this offseason before. Hopefully we get back to normal next season. In 82 game here. All right. That is Adam. Billion from the.
