<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>I don't know what you consider impressive but Vrana in 37 games as a Red Wing he has 21 goals and 30 points and his G/60 in all situations was 2nd with only Matthews ahead of him.</div></div>

True, but I was considering how training camp/preseason looked like. I think it might be worth putting that skill level with Zadina in a 3rd line with either Suter or Rasmusses (Rasmussen imo). I guess Vrana and Elmo are largely interchangeable, but I think playstyle and speed will be relevant to what players are best suited to play with each other. Vrana/Rasmussen/Zadina just feels right and I think Elmo will work well with Perron/Copp. Just not a huge fan of burying Big E in a 4th line. But either way, however you swing it, I'm excited to see what the guys can do.

Purely looking at preseason skill levels and game contribution, Berggren and Soderblom should make it into the middle 6, but because of the below reasons I see them as starting in GR along with a few others.
- Waivers - Although not as good, Erne, Suter, Sundqvist, Veleno and Smith should remain in the mix to help maintain that competitive environment. Not surprised if SY has create this log jam to push for that competitive "playoff" mindset.
- Chemistry - Soderblom/Berggren and Edvinsson/Johansson can build chemistry in GR. Learn how to find each other through muscle memory and all that good stuff.
- TOI - As mentioned above, I would rather see Soderblom/Berggren and Edvinsson/Johansson get more TOI at this point.
- Honing Skills - Although they could get this in the RW, having an "on-ramp" allows some space to work on the areas of improvement (Soderblom on FO and speed, Berggren on Shots, Edvinsson on confidence/consistency).
- Higher pick in -23 draft - Worse case scenario, by putting "worse" players in games during this season will put us in a better position for next years draft. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky (for once).
- NHL exposure still very much going to happen (injuries etc). &lt;9 games in NHL for these young ones WILL happen.
- 23/24 Changes - There are a fair amount of UFA/RFAs happening at which point SY &amp; Co will have a much clearer picture. At that point Kasper may also be in the mix to enter along with these guys.

Also <a href="/users/THE_OTHER_JUST_ME" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@THE_OTHER_JUST_ME</a>, it's "Soderbl<strong>o</strong>m" which translates to "South bloom" in Swedish. Berggren translates to "Mountain branch"

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logan_Ollivier</b></div><div>Nylander has played almost double the NHL games as Bertuzzi has almost as many goals as Bertuzzi has points and is far far more durable. He's also coming off an 80 point season with 2 more years of term. How is Bertuzzi equal to him?

This is the usual used car salesmen ship on this site.</div></div>

PPG is almost the same, and that is on a team in rebuild vs Nylander who plays on a top tier team. But even so, as Nylander is a level above, this is why Sebrango (or Lombardi or Savage) is added to cover the gap. The leafs will still need to account for the Cap next year, but that is a 'Then' challenge. Possibly that some salary is retained.

<a href="/users/Caniac2000" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Caniac2000</a>, if you're considering the vaccination requirement for Canada, that has been lifted, has it not?

Sujet: Edmonds Kadri Build
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>It really depends on the situation. With a players over 30 of course teams will want less term and might pay more to keep the term down. But it's not that easy because players might take a little less to get more term. They are looking to get as much guaranteed money as they can. Kadri had the best season of his career so he is really looking to capitalize on that. I highly doubt he will have another season like this so it basically down hill from here but how many good seasons does he have left? A couple of things that you have consider for Kadri. Colorado is stacked so can produce like this on another team and his suspension history. When he gets frustrated he tends to do things that get him suspended. I have no idea what Kessel is looking for in term and salary but at 34 this will be his last standard contract he signs after this year any contract he signs will be a 35+ contract.</div></div>

Thanks good sir. Much appreciated.

Sujet: Edmonds Kadri Build
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>No it's his character and the length of his contract. He gave Chiarot a 4 years and popular perception of player ability aside that was surprising. So far he has done everything slowly. Every move has been made minimizing risk making sure every piece fits before making it more permanent. A lot of people are saying he's trying to speed up the rebuild by signing a bunch of UFAs and I think that it's wrong. This is likely the last season of Detroit being in the lottery and he wants to save the picks he has and Chiarot getting a 4yr deal could've been what it took to sign him and Detroit needed someone on the left side who can play a couple of seasons giving time for some of the prospects to develop. A lot of people are predicting a big move coming and it probably is but I wouldn't expect it until the TDL.</div></div>

This might be a silly question, but is there value in signing someone expensive on a short term to keep the quality up short term? Like signing a 5+million per year player on a 1-2y contract. Like Kessel or Kadri (had he been an option) taking the spot of Rasmussen or Erne?
