[NHL Watcher] Friedman sur TJMS : « Le marché est bon pour les attaquants plus lourds et profonds, comme j’ai entendu ces quatre noms, Dakota Joshua, William Carrier, Martinook, Noesen, comme si le marché pour ces quatre gars allait être vraiment bon »

This is unfortunate news for us because we could use a player exactly like them. So could every team though. I am very willing to overpay for one of these guys on a 2-3 year deal but they shouldn’t do anything stupid.
Until the Sabres prove they can be a consistent playoff team we’re probably going to have to overpay for players specifically depth forwards
So take those guys out of the discussion because with the cap rising they gonna get fuckin paid
Water is wet. Of course the market will be good for good players, especially with a $5 cap increase
Everyone talking about overpay.. how about we just get to a decent place above the salary cap floor

If we have to, then we must. Ideally, the bottom 6 guys are already on our team and that takes place by trading for top 6 talent and push down the tweeners to an easier role
The Oilers’ 4th line has a 33.3% goal share, an 27.3% expected goal share, and a 34.8% unblocked shot share this postseason whereas the Panther’s 4th line has a 0% goal share, a 35.7% expected goal share, and a 28.3% unblocked shot share (all data is from money puck). The lesson should be to invest assets in high end players at the top of the lineup who raise your ceiling as having a 4th line that gets caved in nightly doesn’t stop you from making the finals.
