Knies-Matthews-Domi(ugh) Laughton-Roy-Nylander Maccelli-Tavares-Joshua McMann-Lorentz/Kampf-Jarnkrok/Boyd

A lotta lefties, but at least he’s a speedy, heavy forechecky body, not all them little ones we have. This probably closes the door on a Pacioretty return. My goal of seeing a Tavares+smushers third line continues apace. Would also consider a Maccelli-Tavares-Joshua line to replicate an...

I was going to say, is he clean now (hence the drop off in performance)?

He might've played more if he didn't get nabbed off waivers by Vancouver. He basically outperformed Jimmy Vesey's cushy lineup assignment that season from the bottom of the roster as a yo-yo player. I recall Spezza getting Boyd all his points was something of a meme in GDTs. I think he might be...

I know this is just a summer league with a mix of NHLers and randos, but it’s good to see Travis Boyd zipping pucks after a very tough injury in 2023 where his pectoral muscle was torn.

Oil Kings it is

Not overly dominant, but he did play against men in his draft year, albeit Czech league (with our old friend Dick Panik!), and had to work on acclimating to NA culture/language this year. I’m good with either option but wouldn’t mind seeing him stress tested against bigger and faster defenses.

I have a lot of time for right handed centres that drive offense inside contact!

RH shooting 5th rd pick from 2024 comes in to take the SPC slot vacated by RH shooting 2021 5th rd pick Ty Voit’s contract termination. 45 pts in 47 games of his rookie season in the WHL. Eligible for AHL duty this year.

How back are we?

So, why bother with a contract termination (775k actual left on ELC), when it could just be a trade for future considerations or some other reclamation project?

Paging Dubas

A bridge out the door, basically.

Tried very hard to orchestrate a trade, publicly fished for offer sheets, settled before arbitration on an expensive bridge.

I heard nothing from Kampf, Holmberg, or Robertson (other than his very valid trade request during the offseason, but that was through a media leak). I heard a lot from Reaves for someone who is a net negative on the ice.
