not trying to hide it. just made a mistake, fixed it.

New York Islanders

>les Tigres du Nord de Québec

I was looking at some of the past draft, and one that jump to my eyes was the 2021. All top-9 picks seems to have already established themselves in the NHL as important part of their teams.

Last season:

Owen Power: 40 pts in 79 games Matty Beniers: 43 pts in 82 games Mason MacTavish: 52 pts in 76 games Luke Hughes: 44 pts in 71 games Kent Johnson: 57 pts in 68 games Simon Edvinsson: 31 pts in 78 games William Eklund: 58 pts in 77 games Brandt Clarke: 33 pts in 78 games Dylan Guenther: 60 pts in 70 games
skip #10 and #11 for obvious reasons (a very big reach + didn't happen).
12 Cole Sillinger: 33 pts in 66 games
13 Matt Coronato: 47 pts in 77 games

2020 was also very good overall, but Holtz at #7 and Drysdale at #6 ruin the narrative I’m seeing with 2021 where everyone in the top-9 is legit, but nobody is clearly ahead as elite. Stutzle and Raymond are clearly ahead of some of the others.

2019-Hughes clearly ahead while Turcotte doesn’t seem to have establish himself. Dach and Zegras are still question mark.

2015- Top-10 is VERY legit, but McDavid is clearly ahead of the rest.

2013- Same. Very good top-10, but MacKinnon is a couple of step ahead.

2011:

RNH: 56 pts in 76 games Landeskog: 59 pts in 82 games Huberdeau: 54 pts in 79 games Larsson: 24 pts in 64 games R. Strome: 50 pts in 81 games Zibanejad: 46 pts in 80 games Scheifele: 49 pts in 82 games Couturier: 37 pts in 82 games Hamilton: 42 pts in 72 games
We can even go at #10 with Brodin (17 pts in 71 games but +21).

Nobody CLEARLY ahead 4 years after. I know it’s just points. Some were ahead (Guenther, Johnson and Eklund), but not by a large margin.

I’ve gone back until 1993 and no other draft seem as balanced in the top-9.

I know other draft are most likely better overall, I just found it interesting that one of the COVID draft ended up having no real miss in the top-9.

Shoutout to Wyatt Johnston, who didn’t play his draft year (except for IIHF U18), and Dallas who got the steal of the draft.

>Owen Power
He is not an NHL caliber player. If Florida, Carolina, Dallas, or any other good, well-run team picked him up tomorrow and didn't have to deal with waivers, he'd start the season in the AHL. He's that bad in his own zone.
>Matty Beniers
There's a very good chance that Beniers gets passed on the depth chart by Seattle's several other Center prospects. He cannot generate offense by himself, and he'd be a 3C on a good team.
>Luke Hughes
He is a turnstyle that has a long way to go before becoming useful in the NHL.
>Kent Johnson
Actually a pretty good player. I think he establishes himself as a point per game winger.
>Simon Edvinsson
Decent middle pair guy.

>>149730786
dahlin and ekblad apparently both did but with schaefer being that young of a birthday, coming off an injury, I think that would be kinda dumb

>>149730823
Because he barely played last year, and he's not that good in first place. If he can't hold his own in the NHL yet, then don't set him up to fail. Ideally he'd go to a more competitive league than the OHL.

>>149730823
he can't even buy a pack of cigarettes he can't play in the league yet

>>149730823
True they are shit

>>149730839
Those guys aren't good comparisons.
Dahlin was several tiers better than Schaefer as a prospect, and he had played 47 games in the Swedish pros before his NHL debut. And the Sabres also fucked up Dahlin's development by not sheltering him properly, which is why he's a retard today who doesn't know when to pinch or how to stay in position.
Ekblad was a similar caliber prospect, but he was far more NHL ready because he was physically huge and had been granted exceptional status, so he had over 200 OHL games under his belt. Schaefer has like 80.

>>149730851
>>149730894
They suck though and just traded their best defenseman

>>149730482
the 2019 draft is looking like pure trash. none of those players have established themselves as a star. if you think jack hughes is a star you are a complete retard. the guy was exposed as a fraud when he looked completely out of place with the nhls best in the four nations. we have already passed the point where guys drafted in 2020 and 2021 are making a bigger name for themselves as 2019.

just went to the dep and paid full price for a slush

They should send him to the AHL. And if the OHL whines, then they should send him to Europe.
Either way, it's better to dominate for an extra year than it is to get ragdolled and exposed. It's not good for the player's confidence, and playing way above your head forces defensemen to develop bad habits to compensate. This is exactly what happened to Dahlin when the Sabtards threw him on the top pair at age 18.

ay Craig what up my nigga

>>149731548
Skinner should be automatic 25 goals if he plays in the Top 6 all season and gets PP time. He brings nothing else to the table, but that doesn't matter on a tank team.
Shorks just need somebody who can skate, handle the puck, and finish well enough to keep up with Misa/Smith. Skinner can do that.

>>149731485
Retard

This is a good move by Grier. They have a lot of young guys in the lineup, and those guys
a) shouldn't all be playing together
b) each need a competent, veteran linemate
Look at the garbage that Bedard has played with. Guy can't even get reps in the offensive zone.

>>149732343
the penguins literally tanked to draft mario, retard. shut the fuck up already, you know absolutely nothing about hockey.

>>149732377
Which was retarded in the long run, meanwhile The Red Wings carefully drafted and took massive risks with who they'd acquire and became a powerhouse for 2 decades. Now thats impossible

>>149732352
i feel bad for bedard

>>149732395
and it wasnt even a fan or media narrative that they were tanking. the head coach of the team literally admitted they were tanking. they went on three separate 6 game losing streaks in their last 21 games of the season, and lost 10 of the last 12 games to drop below the devils in the standings.

>>149732418
What a fucking retard, because shortly after the Penguins became total dogshit and almost lost their team until the salary cap era saved them with Malkin, Crosby, and Fleury all coming about practically back to back.

>>149732395
>carefully drafted
i.e. drafted russians when no one else would

>>149732352
I think from a fan perspective we think tank is feasible, but we don't imagine the painful financial consequences of tanking. They're some teams that can probably get away with some tanking, like the maple leafs, but most teams are constantly fighting for ticket sales to stay afloat.

>>149732428
That wasn't enough, they had to add Lapointe, Shanahan, Murphy, Vernon, etc. etc.

>>149732352
>>149732361
He is right in a narrow sense though. Coaches and players always play to win. And even with regards to GM strategy, there's a difference between tanking and rebuilding. Rebuilding means selling off your best roster players for future assets and accepting that you will be bad for a few years. But you still sign and acquire veterans who can play NHL-caliber hockey. This is what nearly every team does.

Tanking means a GM purposefully sabotages his team and makes roster decisions designed to lose games. The 2013-15 Sabres are the only team in recent memory that I can remember doing this.

>>149732352
>Using Redard as an example and not McDavid
oh wait it's cbc nevermind, canadian teams have never done any wrong and gary rigged the league against them

What is this strategy called?

>>149732446
Oh shut the fuck up, when it hit's January and your team is in the middle of the pack, almost all fanbases demand they tank on order to make the off season viable. Selected 17th overall isn't a viable strategy for anyone

>>149732428
>Drafted quality hockey players.
Fify

If this post ends in an even number, Flames win the cup

>>149732451
This was right before the draft

>>149732464
That's called selling. Everybody accepts when it happens.
A rebuild means you make yourself a seller for several years in a row. This a touchier thing for franchises to admit doing.
A tank means that you're purposefully throwing assets away to be bad. This rarely happens.

They drafted Lapointe.

>>149732474
>quality player

I pulled my calf muscle while pulling the goalie

>>149732514

>League minimum salaries will increase each season:
2026/27 - $850,000
2027/28 - $900,000
2028/29 - $950,000
2029/30 - $1,000,000

Contract term limits will drop by 1. (Now 6 for free agents and 7 for extensions)

Deferred salaries will no longer be allowed.

>>149732507
What are you even arguing? Nobody denies that. The original post was about the salary cap.

>>149732513
Thats even better. Let's also not forget they scouted the likes of Lidstrom, Datsyuk, and Zetterberg too

>>149732477
Dropped to my knees in the C-train

>>149732530
Too bad they didn't shorten the draft to 4 rounds like was rumored.

>>149732531
Yes and it's been argued that the salary cap DOES NOT encourage tanking, when the fact that lower places get better odds blows that the fuck right out

Where do we see Utah finishing next year?

Probably one of the teams that get talked about the least, obviously that franchise has been an afterthought for a decade but they really seem better on paper than they’re given credit for. They’re one of four teams (the others are Tampa, Washington and winnipeg) who have 5 players who scored at least 60 points last season on their roster. Cooley, Guenthier, and Peterka look like they’re only going to get better, Keller is probably the most underrated superstar in the league, and defense is filled with cheap vets with good shot suppression numbers and two very good offensive defensemen in sergachev and durzi.

Obviously goaltending is lousy on paper but it’s such a crapshoot from year to year anyway, the V’s could easily over or underperform. I just think they’re one of the easiest to overlook that could make noise, and that’s before iginla and desnoyers make the roster in a year.

>Record for most games played without a playoff appearance

Maybe he decided playoff hockey wasn't for him.

>>149732546
The draft lottery and salary cap are different things

>>149732569
No shit, the salary cap encourages tanking to get better draft odds. Denying this is like denying that men can't get pregnant

Last once didn't count. If this post ends in an even number, Flames win the cup

>>149732575
If anything, the salary cap disincentives tanking because of the way you can accrue cap space through LTIR.

>it wasn't me, it was the liquor in my veins, I swear!

>>149732778
That's literally what happened here in reality, anon. By the end of the 90s the Penguins were complete crap, and they were only saved when they were gifted Crosby, Malkin, Fleury, etc. after sucking ass for so long. They were LITERALLY on the verge of bankruptcy

Had a great beach trip! Saw these barnacles and it made me think of my beloved /hoc/ posters

I've always wanted to play Left Wing. Now I know what it feels like.

>>149732667
Teams throw their money around signing shitty free agents every year so the salary cap doesnt have that much of a chilling effect even if GMs kvetch about all the shitty contracts they signed. High draft picks dont pan out always and the most hyped ones these past few years (bedard, lafreniere) have been non factors for their team. Combined with the draft lottery that means even with tanking you cant even be sure you'll get the player you want. Tanking is just the cope explanation by fans for their shit team being shit

>>149732822
cool starfish, nice pic

>>149732575
You sound like a retard bud. The salary cap doesn't encourage tanking. The CBA does. Theoretically a salary cap makes more talent available to more teams as they all have the same money to aquire talent.

>sean higgins is my hero lads
>[]..
that's what trb said when the tragic news broke that fateful day

>>149732822

They tanked, won two cups, then tanked again, and won three cups. Now they're tanking once more.

>>149732823
What does it feel like?

>>149732832
Lmao no they don't. Teams now are paralyzed when they have to try and fill a role but the only viable candidate is "mid" but since theres literally no other options their agents demand a fuckload of cash. Same is when a prospect has a decent 3 years and then demands cash as if they were a multiple cup winner. (See Toronto)

to be fair to bedard, chicago only has absolute shit players to pair with him on the 1st line. players that wouldn't even be top 6 on other teams probably

>>149734233
I’m sure he’ll be traded to some team that will make a first round exist at the deadline.

I had to start checking the cooking times on the back of the bags because I usually just grab what's on sale and some of those fries take like 30 fucking minutes which is ridiculous.

>>149734356
just double the heat to half the cook time

>>149734414
go flames go

>>149734377
He was on the second line all year and played well and then was a PPG player on the top line when Monahan went down

>>149734459
i dont recall ryan reaves playing in the nhl before 2014

>>149734411
I thought the cooking temp should have been 400 but it says 450 ok the bag. I put it on 425.
