Got all of Calder winners, but was stumped on the Buf-Bos and Van-Bos connection. Felt like they were right there but just couldn't get those damned names. Some of the players that I came up with I ready had to dive deep in my memory well: Bryan Smolinski, Barry Pederson, heh heh. There's quite a few for Buffalo-Boston. I went with Randy Burridge of all people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL that's the one that I used Smolinski for heh heh. And of course I missed a very obvious one between Buffalo and Boston that didn't happen all that long ago, and of course involved a prominent ex-Devil...dammit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny about that is that I remember when that deal was made, the feeling was "The Penguins are pinning their hopes on THAT guy?!" Of course he did go on to have a solid career for the Pens, though I still don't think of him as a Hall Of Famer. I know he won a couple of Cups and often put up good numbers compared to his peers, and did play well during those Cup runs, but goddamn the guy had a hell of a team in front of him.

Lateralous Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I am super curious to see where Erik Karlsson ends up because this last year with the huge point totals feels like an all-timer of a pump-and-dump scheme by the Sharks. How do you score over 70 even strength points and still end up a -26 other than you were given the green light to go at all times and not play a lick of defense? I've been pretty outspoken about thinking Dubas is an absolute fraud who never had any idea how to build an actual team beyond adding "skill". If he ends up being the one who trades for EK, especially if it costs real assets, I will laugh my ass off.

Yohe: Erik Karlsson is precisely what the Penguins could use - The Athletic Man I know he put up a ton of points last season but paying that kind of money for his Age 33-36 seasons...especially factoring in the four seasons that came prior...yikes. SJ would have to pick up at least 40% before I'd even begin to consider making a move for him...and even then I wouldn't feel all that good about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessus Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 There were rumors about PIT and CAR being the most likely destinations for him. I hope it’s Carolina, he’s a terrible fit for that team - just like last time he came to join Brent Burns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't afford him even if SJ was willing to retain the max on him and a lot of teams that might have taken assets to eat more of the money already used their retention slots(you only get 3 I think). They gotta re-sign Laf and Miller and after that I don't think they'll have much money left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
