No taxi squad next year which means you’re over the cap…

until y'all shake up the core you aren't winning anything

blues decline

You can also bury them if need be

That would make the team a 20 man roster which literally never happens and those two might get taken off of waivers…

Is there an official release on no taxi squad next year? Not being an @$$ . Legit question.

zucker at this point isnt even better than Mikheyev, averaged to a full season he barely outscored Ilya while playing the bulk of his season with Malkin and getting butter soft zone starts, throwing in the 1st is comedic at this point

Well last year it was said that the taxi squad would only be for 1 year. Also the taxi squad would not count towards the roster limit but here there are only 20 roster players which isn’t supposed to happen.

You’re right that the first for Zucker is just plain bad but 18 points in 38 games (Zucker) is quite a bit better than 17 points in 54 games (Mikheyev)

Not disputing that at all. a 20 man roster is insane. But was just wondering if you had a source for a for sure no taxi squad this season. Was just curious.

Yeah. The official NHL website said that the taxi squad was only for last year cause of the bubbles and stuff

0.47 ppg vs 0.31 ppg while playing with Malkin, McCann and Kapanen vs Kerfoot, Engvall and Simmonds with 65% offensive zone starts and power play time vs 65% defensive zone starts and no pp time.
it isnt even close to quite a bit better, that's 13 points over 82 games with every single advantage

Pens take it and run

youre funny

Bill Daley
“People manage those 23 spots differently and it very much is dependent on what your cap situation is and how much you're paying your players. That will continue to be very strategic judgments and decisions that our general managers make on a daily basis. I like that model. I like what it adds from a standpoint of competition and strategy and the like. I don't think there is anything wrong with our current system and the only reason we're varying is the exigencies of a COVID world. I don't see a future for the taxi squad."

Hard pass from the Blues. Obviously.

No im right thomas > robertson

lmao robertson has so much more upside

Muh huh. Exactly no one outside of the delusional side of Toronto thinks that. And when Thomas (who went straight from juniors to being an NHL regular) was Robertson's age, he was helping win a Cup.
