Cosmic Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Another off-season is here, and I thought this would be a good way to start. This is something I first did last year-- a list of the biggest movers, points-wise in the league last year. Everybody that was +/- 10 points over 2014-2015 is listed. Buffalo +27 Arizona +22 Washington +19 Dallas +17 Carolina +15 Florida +12 Philadelphia +12 Tampa Bay -11 Rangers -12 Minnesota -13 Columbus -13 Ottawa -14 Calgary -20 Winnipeg -21 Vancouver -26 Montreal -28 This year's "Things That Make You Go 'Hmm...'" is the Toronto Maple Leafs. In their "tank" year this year, they improved by one point and went from 27th last year to 30th this year. Canada holds all five bottom spots for most points lost over last season, and the Leafs and Oilers stayed terrible. Oh, Canada indeed. The draft lottery isn't until April 30th; this will be the first year that the top three picks will all be done by lottery. I want the Leafs to be at least decent again, but I would also love to see the Canadian media lose their minds if Toronto picks 4th despite having the best odds. I believe no 30th place team has picked 1st overall since they started tinkering with the odds a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as defensemen, we Flyers fans have been waiting for more than just one defenseman. We have had Mark Howe, Eric Desjardins, and Kimmo Timmonen at different times an with no good defensive complement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logodawg Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Well the looks like Datsyuk is leaving the Wings for sure, which means $7.5 million of dead cap space, not too mention the money Franzen is costing them. The Freep ran a piece on the contract status of the current roster and I was shocked by how many contracts end next season. They could be a whole different team by the time they move into the new rink. I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this?

The_Admiral Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Datsyuk's dead cap space is gonna get traded to the Coyotes.

Trevor van Riemsdyk is the kind of 6/7 you want but can't handle more than ten or twelve minutes a game. It's possible that we're being too hard on him because of how few NHL games he's played, but he also has some bad knee injuries that have taken a lot of speed away at a relatively young age, and all the hockey IQ in the world won't save a #4 defenseman who can't move. Rozsival is surely retiring, Rundblad is useless, and Gustafsson may have to be ritually sacrificed like Chris Campoli and Nick Leddy were for losing us a Game 7. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
