Sujet: Ducks blockbuster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>. . . especially since Cam's contract is slightly back-loaded.</div></div>

With a backloaded deal it is to the Duck’s benefit. Assuming the Oilers would pay the overages (and they would in such a deal) Ducks owners would “save” $2.25 million over 3 years, if they don’t retain or $12 million over 3 years if they do.

Also, this season, if the trade was made today, the Ducks would save $2,557,692 for a $3.5 million cap hit, if 50% retained.
From Fowler’s standpoint, he has not played a playoff game in over 6 seasons.

Fowler has been in league since he was 18. He is 31 and not on a good team and likely won’t see another playoff game on this team until perhaps the final year of his contract. Generally speaking, players value winning and have a goal from childhood of raising the Stanley Cup. It depends on what he wants; anything is possible.

All the verbal surrounds Klingberg, as it has since the summer, so Fowler likely is not being discussed, but he would be the ideal target for Edmonton.

Also, Barrie&gt;Klingberg.

Sujet: Chicago Blackhawks signed Dylan Wells (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>InRodWeTrust</b></div><div>This guy is pretty bad. I couldn't understand it when the Canes grabbed him for a year. Even at the AHL level.</div></div>

He was picked up by the Canes for Seattle’s expansion draft. He satisfied the criteria of the Canes having the required number of signed goalies, when they had several that were UFA at the time. He cost the Canes nothing to acquire.

Holland did his back-stabbing bud a solid, after Waddell had claimed Anton Forsberg in 2020 on waivers anticipating a waiver claim on Ned. This really effed the Oilers goalie situation at the time because of injuries to both Koskinen and Smith. Remember this, Waddell owes him big time.

As for Wells, he was spoken of in Matt Murray terms (soon after his Cup exploits), all kinds of potential in his mid-teens, but did not put up good numbers, except for 1 season and 1 playoff run in the OHL after he was drafted.

Basically was drafted based on hope and not due to his results. He is a back-up ECHL quality goaltender, but he is also still young for a goalie. His “potential” will always give him an opportunity over less-heralded prospects.

Sujet: You Think You Know - But You Dont EDITED
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tintin</b></div><div>The Devils should definitely take this if offered.
Don't see why MTL would do that trade in the first place however.</div></div>

Because this is they have no offense coming from the defense:

Erratic Matheson - finally had a 30 pt season
KHL Wideman - 3 of 7 years a full-time NHLer
Also -25, worst on team
Edmunson - 26 goals over 7 seasons
Savard - Over 30 pts, 8 yrs ago
Harris - 10 NHL games
Barron - 5 NHL games

Barrie: 2 years younger than Wideman and would be a superior PP option. Mtl has offensive weapons, a PP QB like Barrie would really help this team that has a DCorpse lacking experienced NHLers. 50% are essentially AHL quality.

The best defense, as per SC Cup Champion Darryl Sutter is to possess the puck more than the other team. Barrie halos a lot with that. Seems to be a no-brainer to me, but Habs fans are loving 1st Overall picks…
