Huh seems very random, I thought the Canucks had cap issues but looking at their finances doesn't seem to be the case. Could be available, in Rutherford's press conference the other day it already sounded like he was resigned to Hughes leaving to play with his brothers in the future!

Agreed, it sucks we have guys like Danielson, Lombardi, Mazur, Plante, Cossa and Augustine in our pipeline!

Lmao wow, wah wah maybe if the team wasn't already on a losing streak and out of a playoffs spot going into the deadline it would have made sense to pay the silly prices for mediocre players at the deadline. Take a look in the mirror, what a subpar captain he's turned out to be.

LOL. Tuomisto just smoked a puck off of Knyzhov and into his own net. Cossa was flabbergasted, that was really funny on the replay. I said I'd stop flooding but that was too funny not to share.

I think it is too early to pigeon hole him into a Copp like career despite not putting up gaudy offensive numbers (still better than Kasper last season!). He's handling all the 1C duties as a 20 year old in the AHL and doesn't look out of place anywhere to me. GR just gave up a goal and then threw his line out and he made a really nice rush carrying the puck through the neutral zone by himself, turning momentum around nicely. He skates way better than Copp and shows more creativity in my opinion. Maybe he turns into Copp but I think he's got more in him offensively. On Rockford's goal ASP definitely could have played the 2 on 1 situation better, but he was at the end of a shift plus odd man situation so I'll give him a pass. He just made a nice backcheck to erase a scoring chance at least. My stream is getting really choppy not sure how long it is going to hold on...

0-0, really fun period, if these teams play each other in the playoffs it should be a good match up. Overall I thought Finnie and Lombardi looked really good, Finnie is really intriguing. ASP looked great on the power play, at 5 on 5 he seems to work well with Buium though they did get hemmed in their own zone at one point. Cossa looked really good, made a couple saves with traffic in front of him and looked calm/composed. He even made a nice play on a puck that Rockford tried to ring around the boards, knocking it down with his stick. Danielson's hockey IQ is evident, he does a good job erasing plays coming on the backcheck. He had a couple nice passes on the power play, flubbed a 5 on 5 scoring chance. He's playing PK and PP as well as line 1 C. Tuomisto looks like an AHL guy to me, foot speed just isn't enough to make up for being out of position at times. Johansson looks pretty good carrying the puck, didn't notice him a lot. Wallinder seems like an adventure out there but more often than not gets the job done. MBN took a dumb penalty trying to do too much on a forecheck. He does seem to be looking for his shot a lot which I like. So far I would say it looks like ASP could play for the Wings next season no problem, he's very noticeable against AHL talent. I'll stop flooding the thread with my thoughts after this 😂

5 on 3 against GR after a dumb Austin Watson penalty. Wallinder and Tuomisto on defense, LOTS of length there. They use it well, though Wallinder didn't get the puck out a couple times when he shouldn't have. Cossa made a couple great saves to keep it 0-0. Wallinder seems to have a little mean streak to him, I know Johansson does too.

MBN on unit two, fumbled a play at the blue line, got a decent shot off of a Danielson pass. They had MBN in the sort of DeBrincat / Ovechkin-lite role and Danielson as the bumper.

ASP on Grand Rapid's first power play unit, looked good with his decision making.

Excited to see how Becher and MBN play together, Becher has been playing well lately. It is also interesting that both Lombardi and Finnie are playing center, I think they've both been spending time at wing. Hopefully my stream works when it comes to game time...

Oof Raymond crashes into the boards with his shoulder, went to the dressing room right away.

Justin Holl revenge game! He scores after getting an assist on the Watson goal lol. Kasper assist.

Nice hands by Austin Watson on his goal to tie it, showing off that 18th overall pick skill

My buddy pointed me to https://capwages.com/ today, I had been using puckpedia as my capfriendly replacement. Apparently they partner with some sort of analytics company and they're really good at predicting UFA contracts according to him. The Jets just signed Pionk today for 6 years at $7 million a year, the website predicted 6 years at $6,952,400. Might be tough for the Jets to fit in Ehlers, they're predicting him to get 6 x $7,515,850. https://capwages.com/players/ufas
