As much as I dislike Holland, this one might be Larsson and his agent. Truthfully, this is his last free agent deal. I love Larsson, but he has his limitations. If he wants Tanev money, I'm not sure I'm comfortable giving that to a guy who has a history of a bad back. The error would be bringing back Barrie. That contract is going to be awful the moment it's signed. So truthfully Holland will get it done asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never wingers. Centers can hang around and be somewhat worth their deals a lot longer than wingers can. Example, Calle Jarnkrok vs. Brandon Tanev. That contract is going to be an albatross in like 2 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad People Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Also for anyone on HF whats the best thread to read about prospects on there? American prospects or do you just read about each player in their own individual thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's essentially been a starting goaltender for like 35-40 games. He posted some insane numbers, but that all could be a mirage. The risk is you get a guy like Scott Darling or Andrew Hammond who completely falls flat on their face with starting reigns. IIRC his advanced stats weren't the worst, but it's a risk. For Seattle it's worth it however. If he sucks, oh well. If not, hey we found ourselves a starting goalie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google + prospects name + HFboards normally works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking I will just start out in the general prospect threads and go form there. Also thank for the replies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, this is why going in with the mentality that we couldn't take 3 forwards last year was so damn stupid. You're about to draft another guy at the same position that you forced at 20 last year and the same position you overcompensated for in an entire draft the year (or two) prior. Like WTF man. Take BPA and run with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All players, with the exception of a few players have limitations. I understand what your saying in Larssons case but 4x4.5 wouldn’t bother me a bit. If he gets a ridiculous contract offer then Holland has to let him go. Barrie would simply slow Bouchard progress which was already mismanaged by putting him on the taxi squad. It would’ve been better had he played in Bakersfield or loaned out to a European team. The Oilers don’t have enough grit and they need to replace Larssons physical play and we don’t have anyone close to providing it. With the rumours of Kassian possibly being traded the Ouls become even softer and easier to play against. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People underestimate Rossi all the time. He drove the defence nuts in the corners. He’s got a low centre of gravity and the kid is really strong. He’s not a typical 5 foot 9 hockey player. I expect they simply saw Holtz as a better opportunity. He’s not exactly a giant either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
