If they can get something for him in a trade though, that would be awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker90 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Hello friends. I've been really missing hockey already and I had a pretty cool idea. In order to get to know the players from other teams better, I am going to make a big list of players and watch their highlights on YouTube. If you have any recommendations other than the list I have created, please let me know. They're mostly point scorers, so good defensemen and prospects would be appreciated. Lets start with the East Boston Bruins Pasta Marchand-just got done watching Brad Marchand. I like s*** starters, but dude is a dirty MF’er. I love the passion though. He plays hard. Attacks and attacks, that I can appreciate. Bergeron McAvoy Buffalo Sabres T Thompson R Dahlin- watched him yesterday, wow was I impressed. What a talented dude. Real fun to watch. J Skinner A Tuch O Power C Mittelstadt Detroit Red Wings D Larkin- plays really hard. Seems like a great captain to play for. Quick, good facilitator , like how he plays in front of the net L Raymond M Seider Florida Panthers Tkachuk Barkov Verhaege Montour Reinhart Montreal Canadians N Suzuki C Caulfield Ottawa Senators T Stutzle B Tkachuk C Giroux A Debrincat D Batherson J Sanderson Tampa Bay Lightening N Kucherov B Point S Stamkos B Hagel- seems like the beneficiary of great players around him. Good clean up / fast break guy M Sergachev V Hedman Toronto Maple Leafs A Matthews M Marner W Nylander J Tavares Carolina Hurricanes S Aho M Necas- smart player who attacks the net. I was real impressed he Carolina generally works together. I think this kid is going to be real good. B Burns A Svenchnikov Columbus Blue Jackets J Gaudreau P Laine- sick shot. Absolutely lethal . Hopefully Holtz can be something like him. I also like his stick handling . He like does it in slow motion but has a ton of control B Jenner K Johnson New York Islanders M Barzal B Nelson New York Rangers Nah Philadelphia Flyers T Konecny Pittsburgh Penguins Crosby Malkin Guentzel Letang- really enjoyed watching him. Seems like a great all around defensemen. Smart, great shot, tough. Ty Smith lololol Washington Capitals Ovechkin Wilson Strome Edited June 22, 2023 by Rainmaker90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have some you should take a look at, but a full list would probably have to wait until I'm at my laptop so I can really think about it. Bo Horvat on the isles would be one. Nick Backstroms best years are behind him, but would be a fun watch Taylor Hall is another one who isn't as good any more but has some fun highlights. Or just watch his MVP season with the devils. Tragic that his shot disappeared after this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any recommendations other than the list I have created, please let me know. They're mostly point scorers, so good defensemen and prospects would be appreciated. Lets start with the East Connor Bedard - Blackhawks (cheating but he's a Blackhawk) Xavier Bourgault (sleeper: Matvei Petrov) - Oilers Brendan Brisson - Golden Knights Brandt Clarke - Kings (yes, he's Graeme's brother) Logan Cooley - Coyotes Matt Coronato - Flames Simon Edvinsson - Red Wings Cutter Gauthier - Flyers Luke Evangelista - Predators Ridly Greig - Senators Isaac Howard - Lightning Lane Hutson - Canadiens Matthew Knies - Maple Leafs Brad Lambert/Chaz Lucius - Jets (can't decide which to go with) Jonathan Lekkerimäki - Canucks (maybe Aatu Raty but I'm not sure whether his upside is higher than JL's) Fabian Lysell - Bruins Pavel Mintyukov - Ducks Ivan Miroschnichenko - Capitals Shakir Mukhamadullin - Sharks (cheating lol but if you want to go another route, pick one of Filip Bystedt or Thomas Bordeleau) Alexander Nikishin - Hurricanes Oskar Olausson - Avalanche Brennan Othmann - Rangers Owen Pickering - Penguins (not a great prospect, it's a bad system after selling out for years) Marco Rossi - Wild Mackie Samoskevich - Panthers Matthew Savoie - Sabres Jimmy Snuggerud - Blues Logan Stankoven - Stars Stanislav Svozil - Blue Jackets Shane Wright - Kraken (for obvious reasons, that system isn't great yet) Note: Islanders have no substantial prospects to go check out. It's sad how he just repeated what he did to our system to them. Edited June 17, 2023 by beekay414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 Welp, I'm in on Hellebuyck the rental, I'm out on Hellebuyck's next contract 100% tho lol. My man wants $9.5 Million as if teams haven't learned from Bob's contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 I do like the idea of Sharangovich for one of the Blackhawk's 4 second rounders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 Or dealing him to the Ducks. I'd actually get a Ducks Sharangovich shirtsey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to see what we are looking for. Because I could see us move him to someone like Nashville for a bottom pair rhd and a pick (like Foote and a 4th?) or to Winnipeg for someone like demelo as a rental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I'd want a rental but DeMelo is a good player. Not sure we'd want someone like Foote to fill that role since he's just as unproven as Bahl/Nemec. Wonder if a Kulikov reunion could be in order? I know he's a LHD but he plays both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzy's not an idiot. I think Fitzy would rather sign someone like Alex Lyon, David Rittich or Anthony Stolarz than deal with Blackwood again lol.

beekay414 Posted June 18, 2023 Author Share Posted June 18, 2023 Tom Fitzgerald is arguably a top 5 GM in the sport. Not only is he a cool interview and dude, he's great at his job. I have no doubt in my mind that this group is going to hoist a Cup in the near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
