Nobody is trading an asset for Jesperi Kotkaniemi. P.S. The Canadiens could have drafted Brady Tkachuk instead of Kotkaniemi. P.S .The Canadiens could have drafted Quinn Hughes instead of Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
@1pbdecoded1pb lol what does that mean? Look at the 4 picks after not much there. I'll give you the fact we missed out on other drafts, I just think it was mismanaged and injuries played a part with him. But ouch lol ouch what give more context with what other player in the first would of made more impact?
@@djharris5647 Sebastian Aho was drafted in the 2nd round with the 35th pick while Noah Juulsen was drafted in the 1st round with the 26th pick. OUCH! The comment reply to me by ikka3065 mentioned Aho that's all.
I’m kinda new to the channel but why do you leave the same message on every video? Why don’t you change it up? Have some originality with your spam at least. It’s like you just want to be heard/seen without actually contributing to the convo. You just glaze him
San Jose clearly needs defense. After this season they will have money to spend. They already have 14 million in cap space rn. Sharks also have a handful of bottom 6 forwards that will most likely get traded opening up even more cap. I expect a big splash or two.
Great report Mike! Re: KK: the saga continues!!!! This is a HUGE year for KK. After his disastrous past 2 seasons....whether he stays in Carolina or goes to the Flames or elsewhere.....he needs to have a respectable season o/w his career in the NHL could be over. He needs 20-30 G and 50-60 points minimum to quiet the naysayers. Sadly....I don't see it happening. He gets bumped down to 3rd or 4th line where he really struggles to produce.
Kotkaniemi has an extremely limited skillset & is a lazy & unmotivated head case. There's no way that clown will ever exceed 20 goals or 50 points in a season. The funniest thing about this entire fiasco is that the Canes owner Don Waddell refuses to admit his blunder & buy the player out. But that'll likely happen by the time KK turns 26 in July, 2025. No idea what team would trade for that stiff at this point but it'd be hysterical if Don Waddell takes him in at Columbus although he'd have to be a certified masochist to do it.
If the Flames have any sense in their heads, they will place the camera well in the exact same spot in the new arena as it was in the Saddledome. They have by far the best TV vantage in the league, with the Oilers being a somewhat distant 2nd. Every new arena should try to replicate what Calgary fans have enjoyed on television for the last two decades. Properly framing the game in that manner would grow the television audience and therefore the game. It's such a simple and affordable solution, that I'm only sort of surprised that the league hasn't thought of it yet, and mandated that all new arenas entering the league build to those specs that would allow for that tight of a shot of the game.
I’m not from calgary but I think it’s got one of the best skylines in North America. I think the arena being moved a little back wouldn’t change to much
Surprised no one is talking about how ridiculous the Ekblad rumours are, they filled out their roster and signed Reinhart. No sense in moving on from their #1 D at this point, given the Montour departure.
@@steveciancone8941 Forsling is their #1 D by far and he just resigned as well at a steal. Ekblad is injury prone and seems to be on the decline for a very large cap hit at $7.5 mil… not ridiculous at all

Yea, The Canadiens could have drafted Sebastian Aho too
@@ilkkak3065 Noah Juulsen = OUCH!

@@1pbdecoded1pb ohhh gotcha though we can so ouch for half the other teams as well. There were lots of misses with teams, Boston, New Jersey.
would Seattle or Chicago make sense for Kotkaniemi?
Ekblad could also help Vancouver on second pair defense?
Great job as always Mike, really appreciate your calm & measured approach!

Flames as of the shovels in the ground ceremony for the arena officially ends the fact or saying of us being in desparate need of the arena
hope the fans rock the place to motivate the team a little.
Long overdue
Great report Mike!

Ekblad and Verhaeghe for Brady Tkachuk
Kadri should go to the rangers.
KK and Suzuki for Laine at 50 percent salary.
Dog days of summer are rough this offseason.
KK and necas for laine and...voronkov? chinakhov?
Kk for Laine and Necas for Ehlers
@@ilkkak3065 kk will never get you laine.
