      @@tradertrav6414 The reason he is suspended is the Avs wanted him to get help and enter the program. which makes the suspension kinda look bad, because now what team is ever going to get help for their key players if it risks them being screwed over, stuck with a cap hit not being able to trade or play the player.
      I’m sure this will be discussed in the next GM/Owners meeting. Also im pretty confident this is going to be Nichuskins last chance. He’s burned them twice in a row and stunned the team leading to a guaranteed loss(except kraken was close)
      the game Avs/Stars played hours after the news.. Avs hadnt looked that asleep on the ice whole season. Stars were probably winning in 7, but when it came to scoring chances up until that point Avs had had the better chances in more games than Dallas- but lost the goalie battle by a far margin. Avs had all kinda chances, but once the Stars managed to score first (almost every game) they were able to use that lead to get wins except for game 1.

      Buffalo SABRES are putting together a pretty good team. Kakko has had one sort-of not-bad year (much like Puljujarvi) but can't do enough to merit more ice-time. Looking back on the 2019 Draft the European D-skaters have done far better than the Forward ones as far as "Best Scouted Players."

    @EskimowSC 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Sliding in with my usual opinion on Stars stuff.
    Hintz was my pick too, I think Hintz has insane potential, point per game is almost an expectation to me, I think if he had a really good on-season, he's looking to push 100 wish assists to Robo and Johnston all day long.
    That said, my honorable mentions are Robo, Heiskanen, and Oettinger all having bounceback years. Dallas Stars had a great season, but I felt like the big stars were all having an off season. Oettinger had a lot of messy games, Heiskanen's offense was lower, and Robo fell off hard. It was the depth that picked up where they fell off. Would love to see the Star Players of the Stars have a big year again, and then have that depth drive us home in the playoffs!

    I still find it hilarious talking to some Canucks fans on social media about Pettersson. Yes, he had a rough finish. But he had 89 points. If he'd finished with the same point totals and been consistent all the way along, I don't think you'd see anywhere near the criticism. I don't know what fans were expecting exactly. Sure, he's on a big contract, but going forward 11 million for a 90 point player is going to be pretty reasonable. And he's done it before in the playoffs.

      No, some people fail to realize that Huberdeau is still the same guy, it's just that the Panthers and the Flames are miles away from each other, depth wise.
      The Panthers had a great top 6 when he was playing there. The fact they could have Barkov on one line and Huberdeau on another just allowed him to play against weaker lines half of the time. Flames only have one line (which in itself isn't so great), they can't do the same as the Panthers, so he plays against the best line and best D pair, night after night.
      Also, the systems of both teams are really not the same. He fitted more in Florida's system than he fits in Calgary's...

      1 under the radar player &
      1 top 6/Top pair D/#1 Goalie for each,
      Ana,
      - Lundestrm, hits 40 pts? - I think he is a bit underrated,
      - Terr will get 70+ pts
      Bos,
      - Beechr, he has the skill to hit 20 gls,
      - either 1 of the Lindhol (altho both are a bit overpaid)
      Buf,
      - Kreb, I don't see how he isn't a 40 pt player, &
      - as for their top players so many should rebound it's not even funny - Thomps, Dahl, Cozen, etc.
      Cgy,
      - J.Bean, can he hit 30 pts, he will get minutes in Cgy,
      - Hubie - with his skill he has to hit atleast 70-75pts.
      Car,
      - S.Walkr, can he hit 40 pts. or Drury should be a 20 goal guy, 45+ pts.
      - Orlv, I think he is better than he showed
      Chi,
      - Reichl, kind of a forgotten 1st Rd prospect, but he can hit 20 goals.
      - T.Hall, scores 25+ if he plays on the Top 6 for most of the yr
      Col,
      - Wood, I've always thought he would turn into a 20g scorer if his hands caught up to his feet
      - S.Girar, he's atleast a 2nd pair D.
      CLB,
      - Merzlikin, I think he is still a good goalie who can rebound,
      - a few of them...Laine, if he's healthy, can score 40, Gaudrea should get 70+ pts, & K.Johns is capable of 30g down the road - unless some dumb GM trades him first
      Dal,
      - Lundkvis, 25 pts as a regular?
      - Segui, solid player if he is healthy
      Det,
      - Velen, has all the tools to turn into an effective two way 3rd line centre.
      - Huss, solid keeper still I think.
      Edm,
      - Brobrg, finally entrenches as Oilers 3rd pair D
      - Nurs, overpaid, but he is better than his last couple of seasons. E.Kan as well well. Both are quality players
      Flo,
      - A.Boqvis, he is better than his league min. caphit suggests
      - Lundel, when is he gonna hit 60pts????
      LAk,
      - Kaliyv (if he resigns), 20 goals? eventually.
      - Gavrikv, although not a premiere offensive D, should put up more pts
      LVgk,
      - V.Olofss, was underutilized in Buf, but there is a 30 gl man there with Eich or Karlss.
      - Hanif, really flourished in the 2nd half of the yr.
      Mtl,
      - Andersn, if he can stay healthy & finishes half of his opportunities he is a 25 goal player.
      - Newhk, should be a 55-60 pt player eventually
      Min,
      - Folign, should be scoring 20+ goals every yr.
      - Rossi & Hartmn, will both turn a corner & hit 50+ pts (25gls, 30+ assists)
      Nas,
      - Parsinn & Tomasin, both need more ice time.
      - Saro, can he win a Vezin?
      NJ,
      - Mercer, former 1st Rd'r looked like a future all star in his rookie yr, took a step back in last yr.
      - Hamilt, coming back from injury
      NYI,
      - Duclai, 20-25 goals on the Top 6 is possible
      - Lee, in the twilight of his career, why not a rebound from his poor last few seasons
      NYr
      - Kakk, should eventually pan out into a 25 goal man one would think, in NY or elsewhere
      - K'A Mill & Chytl, both have all the tools to explode offensively
      Ott
      - both Grei & Pint, which one emerges as Sens #2 centre.
      - Norrs current #2 centre, just needs to stay healthy. Can he be moved to the wing?
      Phi
      - Poehl, potential as a 3rd line centre one would think
      - Farabe, hoping he hits 30 goals, skill is there
      Pit
      - Beauvili & Grzelck, both UFA signings who are decent players who need more ice time
      - Karlssn & Malki, both had down yrs
      StL
      - Perunovi, when is this guy gonna start producing offensively, has lots of skill
      - Kyrou, 50 goals for him is possible.
      SJ,
      - Gushchn (when is he gonna get called up from the AHL) & Bordeleau (2 good prospects should break out soon)
      - Eklnd, 30 goals this yr, possible
      Sea
      - R. Evan, a bit like Perunov, 2 prospects who should make their mark soon, 35+ pts?
      - Lots of players...Burakovs, Benier - surely scores 30g, & Wrigh who I think will get 60 pts the next couple of yrs as the #2 centre
      Tam
      - Shear, had a poor season, should be a bit better.
      - Cirell, 50 pts should be attainable
      Tor
      - Holmbrg or Kamp, both are capable as 3rd line centres
      - Liljgrn, can he reach 40 pts?
      Uta,
      - Kerfioo, 40 pts this yr?

      Van,
      - Podkolz, still a good prospect just needs more ice time
      - DeBrsk, overrated by some, underrated by others. But should score 30+ goals
      Was,
      - McMichea - future #2 centre, needs to take another step offensively & Sandi - perfect situation in Was for him to become a solid 2nd pair D

    I like Copp. Last year with Sprong, Veleno, Fabbri on the 4th line as a scoring line and the low defense of the top 6, that leaves Ras, Copp, Fischer as the defense focused 'shutdown' line strategically. Easy to see why his scoring is low but there was stretches last year they had great success amd were really important

    I'd have Stutzle for the Sens struggled with wrist injuries all season hence only the 18 goals I think we see him bounce back to 30 goals and hitting 90-100pts as long as he stays healthy. Norris is still a good pick but even though he's showed he can score more idk after all his shoulder surgeries he will ever get back to the 35-40 goals minimum we would have expected from him 2 years ago. I'm just going to be happy if he can have a full healthy season and hit 20 goals at this point just want him playing in the lineup

    Glass was my pick, but honorable mentions to Novak. He came into his own in the 22-23 season finally making the roster and showed he can put up points when paired with the right guys (the line of Novak-Glass-Evangelista was really strong) and he put up 43 points in 51 games. This season he had 45 points in 71 games. He could probably get closer to that 60 point mark in that many games.

    I would pick Cozens instead of Thompson as bounce back candidate in Buffalo. Cozens had 18 goals and 47 point last season but season before he had 31 goals and 68 points. So if he will be able to score around 25-30 goals and 60 points again it will probably help Sabres more. Because it would mean that Sabres have two dangerous scoring lines
