<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>The hiring is a bit confusing as Hextall and Burke already did the Damage. Pitts now an old folks home with a few young guys here and there. Maybe they want him to do what he did in Toronto and build this huge analytics department so when the old guys finally retire they can start setting up the next group (whoever they are)

Dubas made more sense to go to a team like Anaheim as they getting close to competing but lets see how he does as a president maybe Pitt within 2-3 years looks scary again</div></div>

I think you’re on it.

Dubas’ value is to modernize some teams hockey ops. Bring all the modern management styles, support schedules, nutrition, analytics, etc. I doubt they’re expecting him to be some roster wizard, although they’d like it if he were.

That’s kinda why it isn’t bad that he left. I think I mentioned awhile back: Toronto already got modernized by him - it’s all in place and functional - let the guy go do it somewhere else and not pay him tons of $ to just do what a board says. Even better to have an experienced Canadian gm step in to facilitate the transition.

Also, I’m on team dubas, but … Toronto probably benefits from a calmer gm. Already enough celebrity stuff going on with the market size.

Sujet: Pittsburgh Penguins signed John Marino (2 Years / $1,775,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AwesomeMatthews</b></div><div>Whats the point of the NHL draft if players won't sign with the team they were drafted by</div></div>

these are the rules the players union and the NHL agreed on.
He has his rights to not sign with anyone he doesn't want to.
If the NHL didn't want to agree to such rules they should have never agreed, but they traded this off in return for other benefits.
People seem to think players should have no rights. It's a give and take relationship. You wants something, you have to give something. He's well with in his rights to do as he wishes.

It's a great signing for the penguins. He's worth more than a 6th, he's a solid player from a good program.

Sujet: What are some teams that prohibit their GMs from trading 1st round picks?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>IMO, championship winning teams are built through the draft.

I also think you are less likely to get fleeced in a trade if you're not giving up a 1st round pick.



Looking at Ottawa, I feel that Pierre Dorion has a tendency to trade away a really high 1st round pick for the biggest name on the market.

Duchene, DeBrincat, Chychrun, etc.

A big part of me thinks that it needs to stop.



What are some teams that prohibit their GMs from trading 1st round picks?

I curious if there are any.

Let me know your thoughts.</div></div>

Avs very rarely trade their 1st round picks - have only traded one since Sakic took over in 2013 (sent 2022 1st in a package for Kuemper). They do often trade the prospects they drafted in the 1st round though

I disagree about not building a team through trades though. You definitely need the draft to get your core but once you have that trades are the best way to add to the team. Avs cup team had tons of players acquired by trade:

E Johnson
Girard
Burakovsky
Kadri
Toews
Kuemper
Compher
Manson
Lehkonen
Sturm
Cogliano

OTT has their core already and if they can get good value in a trade for someone with term they should go for it to fill out the rest of the roster

Sujet: Is the IIHF too soft?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IconicHawk</b></div><div>I ask this question because of a hit by Adam Fantilli vs Norway at the worlds

In the latter part of the second period, the puck is in Canada’s zone when Fantilli hits Norwegian defensemen Christian Kåsastul and Kåsastul is clearly shaken up and has blood coming out of his face, which indicates he was hit somewhere in the head, but everything else about the hit was completely legal, Fantilli never left his feet and stick was on the ice and puck was with them when the contact was made

In the end Fantilli got 5 and a game misconduct, which in the nhl probably doesn’t even get a penalty in the NHL because the IIHF has different rules to hits which makes me wonder

Is the IIHF soft?</div></div>

"The hit was illegal, but everything else was legal. Is the IIHF soft?"
