The problem getting an Eichel trade done is the entire NHL realizes how overrated he is. He can score, but he’s not a PPG player (which is a benchmark to be a superstar center). He also kinda sucks on the backcheck and is legitimately crappy in the faceoff dot.
I dont think he's overrated at all. Not a good captain or leader but I believe he is either the 5th or 6th best under 25-year old forward player in the league. EXCEPT for his injury issue, and also I agree with the tried and true method of longer recovery over non-proven surgery
Hyman is going to do well in Edmonton. Tippett will love this guy. If a line is sputtering, no big deal, put Hyman on it to recharge it. The Leafs are absolute morons for letting him get away.
@@michaelkirkpatrick7483 Leafs couldn't afford to sign him for what he got in Edmonton. If Covid-19 hadn't hit, then the NHL wouldn't have had the flat salary cap and Toronto would have probably been able to keep him.
Great video. Right away I think I'll be most interested to see Fleury and Grubauer. It's remarkable two Vezina finalists switching teams, I wonder if that would happen in a cap free world.
@@evandavis8135 we will have to see. Only time reaves got wilson was when he was _conveniently_ looking away for a long time. If you wanna see tom wilson get his ass beat, look up his fight vs Dalton Prout.

Please keep away from us in round 1. :D I dont survive Boston Chapter III :D at least give us this first round and take on someone else :D kick out the rangers ;) kicking out the leafs in round 1 must become some sort of boring anyway, isnt it? :D
Really excited to see McCabe in Chicago. Hoping he fits in well, he's played with Murphy and Jones before so there's a chance that the 3 of them could help stabilize the blue line
As a Boston fan, my pick was Erik Haula as well. I need to know which version of him we’re getting. All I know is, Haula is a monster at the faceoff dot. Guy is definitely playing center on this team, I’m hoping he’d make a real solid 3C. My second pick would’ve been Ullmark. I get he was great for Buffalo, but then again I just get that hazy feeling with goaltending. Having Rask we never really questioned goaltending heading into seasons. Having even slight questionable goaltending will always be on everyone’s mind..
OEL will be interesting to watch this year, him and that contact can really make the Canucks cup contenders or possibly waste the primes of Hughes, Boeser, and Pettersson
The Danault thing isn't even about his production, its really his role. Sure I could see him being 2nd center.... this year. What about when either Vilardi, Byfield or Turcotte breaks out? hell be right back to third center role with mostly defensive missions. That's what he wanted to avoid in MTL. Apparently they were 500k PER YEAR of. That's bridgeable. The ask was the role.... and I don't think Danault keeps that role for long in LA
You nailed this list Shanny. I'm most excited to see Garland, but I'll qualify it by saying I'm just as intrigued to see who he plays with (Bo & Hoglander? Does Podkolzin jump to 2nd line?!)
I’m most interested in what Suter can do. Center is probably their biggest hole and I want to see if Suter is the real deal or was propped up by Debrincat and Kane.
I’m more interested to see if Ned can handle some of that increased pressure this year Suter was solid for the Hawks, that is gonna be a little diamond in a rough signing. He’s fully capable playing second line center, minimum very good third line guy
Kinda surprised not to see Ritchie, Kase or Bunting for Toronto. Yes Mrazek is new, but, from a non-Leafs fan perspective, I'm curious how the other three will compliment to big 4
Reinhart really struggled to put up points if he wasn’t on eichels line however last year when eichel was out Reinhart went crazy but it was also a Contract season so shou be interesting
I'm actually more looking forward to having a capable back up in Bernier. Last year sucked losing Crawford before the season started and having to juggle Blackwood, Wedgewood, Aaron Dell played some games for us. To have an actual back up to give Blackwood a few nights off and actually put up a fight. I can't wait to see it
i dont know if you do this on purpose but i love that you sometimes start with the central but in this case you end with the central. Satisfying way to make complete your videos. Love the channel keep up the work THG
The St. Louis/Saint Louis thing used to bother me, but I was told by someone from there that the St. in St. Louis is no longer considered an abbreviation. It's similar to other towns that have St., like St. John's or St. Catharines. Over time, the official name of St. Louis has become just that.
All the chat is about OEL to Canucks, but it's Garland who's the real catch in that deal. Great talent, good character player, will help the Canucks out a lot up front. Great add. GM Benning gets credit for this one.
I'm super excited to see how Alex Nedeljkovic does in Detroit. Being a wings fan it's super refreshing to finally have a young goalie with promise. Drafting Cossa for the future makes me have a lot more fair in our net for the next 5+ years.
As a flyers fan I'm so happy to have that rhd that we've needed for a long time Ellis should be a huge add, Risto doesn't need to be that relied upon guy anymore with a fresh start. Hopefully York takes Brauns spot and plays with Yandle on the 3rd pairing, also hope that with Ellis playing with Provorov can bring Provorov back to his 17 goal like season and he can have that confidence he had with Niskanen.
I agree that Garland is the one I'm most curious about with Vancouver. But OEL is a close second for sure. Since his "bad" seasons had 100% overlap with when he became captain in Arizona. Him going back to just focus on being a defenceman, rather than trying to be everything all at once, should make a world of difference. At least it will be interesting to see, and realistically he just has to do better than Edler did last year to be an improvement. So that's not exactly the highest of bars.
I think Ristolainen will be an interesting one to watch for Philly. He’s in a position to have a lot better personal success in Philly. He did his time honorably in Buffalo
Risto was such a great player to get behind. Great offensive moves, big hits, great personality in interviews. Very suspect underlying metrics though. Eye test usually supported the big guy. Stat heads hated him.
@@wolfaliceinchains I hate to be that guy lol but Jussi Jokinen never played for Boston. Only felt the need to comment this because when I saw his name I thought I was going crazy because I never remembered him on Boston
Sad to see Cam leave for sure, but I’m super excited to see what Boqvist and the two Jakes can bring to the lineup. Solid 3LD guy in Bean, Boqvist’s got some big shoes to fill if he plays with Zach, and Voracek coming back to the team that drafted him could be just the kind of double threat set-up guy that Patrik could gel with.
Yeah, VGK may have given up on Glass too soon, like they did with Suzuki. Although Nolan Patrick might end up being a stud too. Interesting trade to keep an eye on going forward...
Yeah, Nate Schmidt is the obvious guy for Winnipeg, but I have a good idea how he'll play because I've seen quite a bit of him in Vegas and Vancouver. The guy I'm most curious about is Brenden Dillon - I haven't seen him play much.
I think Haula could definitely fit in for Boston . Looking forward to Leddy on the wings . Vegas goaltending will be down this year. Nick Holden great addition to Sens .
Boston: Linus Ullmark - first shot as the #1 on a team with legit expectations. Carolina: Andersen (and Raanta) - if neither has a bounce back year, Carolina could struggle to make the playoffs
Ullmark is definitely questionable. The pressure of him playing for a team looking to get a cup will definitely be on his mind. If he can handle that pressure, he should be fine. Easier said than done though
I think Haula has a slim chance of being 2C in Boston mostly because Hall had said he really liked playing with a right handed center (Krejci) so that leaves Coyle and Studnicka as 2C options.
Garland is a great pick up for the Canucks. Theo Fleury light. He should be 60-70 point player if he stays healthy, especially if he plays with Miller and Pettersson. If he plays with Bo, he’s a 50-60 point player at least. That’s a big upgrade on Pearson, who will slot in great on the 3rd line with Dickinson and Podkolzin. It could be huge.
goodrow to nyr is going to be interesting. i think it was an overpay yet i understand why goodrow took the deal - it was his last chance to get a big payday and some security. really hurts to see him leave tampa but nonetheless am wishing barclay all the best, and thank you for your contributions in tampa.
I feel that Edmonton trading Ethan Bear is a surprise. This trade confuses me on both ends. He had a 'sophomore slump'. It's not uncommon, especially among young defence men. Warren Foegele certainly isn't a bad winger in return on contract who can play middle-6 minutes. Edmonton doesnt look to have the greatest defensive depth up in the Bigs and at the prospect level. Bear was starting to look like a minute munching, trust-worthy stay-at-home dman. Carolina moved Jake Bean and Haydn Fleury in seperate trades, just when it was looking like their #1 Right Dman was going to bounce. Stocking up on defensive depth seems the medicine to me but i guess theyve got plans. They turn a bunch of trades on Draft weekend into 7, YES! 7 extra picks, and Ethan Bear. So perhaps Don Waddel has the inside on something we plebs don't.

I want to know how the 2016 first round swap turns out. Glass and Patrick had a lot of potential. Preds always need centers while Glass needed the opportunity and Vegas seems to think adding Patrick solved center depth.
With the amount of money invested and how close they are to the cap - wow this one will be watched with incredible interest. JB basically put his job on the line.
For Pittsburgh I'm excited to see Heinen. He hasn't been talked about much, but I could see him breaking out this year and the Pens got him for a steal
Hill was never going to be started over Kuemper or Raanta and til this day I think to myself that he was meant to be become that #2 guy in the 2019 season until Kuemper got hurt during a big playoff push right at the trade deadline and because of that we had to keep Raanta instead of offloading him because we would then be stuck with only 1 goalie while sitting in first place at the time
I hope that Craig Anderson gets at least 1 game in Ottawa. Buffalo vs Ottawa was a fun matchup before covid and Ottawa would hopefully give him a nice homecoming
I’m curious about Foligno in Boston. Where will he end up slotting? And Coyle and Hall hasn’t been tested yet either. I think the tinkering will be strong
Not sure you can replace Schwartz. He did so many little things that made any line he was on so much better. The type of player with incredible intangibles that often go unnoticed.
Garland could do well with Petterson imo. Coyotes fan who honestly loves Garland and was extremely happy to call a Coyote. He puts in work. Yes he gets knocked off the puck easy but he works the boards, he back checks. He is worth that contract. Hes gonna be a star
I’m excited for Graves and Hamilton.. should change the whole Defense and create more offense as well.. that boosters 2 d pairings and Smith will have another year under his belt.. I think NJ turns into a bubble team immediately
As a Nashville fan I can’t wait to see Cody Glass play for us. Don’t think he’ll be a star right off the bat of course, but if he puts up 40 points I’ll be over the moon excited for his future with us.
Really curious to see how Ethan Bear does in Carolina, a team reeling off of the loss of Dougie Hamilton. Especially considering all of the Oilers fans that had him pegged as their #2 D. Great call Shannon.
Montréal has been a very good 5 on 5 team for years. Brining in a power play sniper is much more likely to work on a team that overall plays well 5 on 5. Ducharme and Julien both have conditioned the core to be very responsible at both ends of the ice.
HinostroZa for Buffalo to me, I think guys like mittlestadt, skinner, Thompson, will excel with more ice time but owen power Jack Quinn, Luukonen and Peterka if any of them see ice time this year is who I want to see if they count , Buffalo suddenly looks like Ottawa with the no star when eichel leaves but some great rookies
Keep an eye on Nick Leddy...the all time minus in NHL history is -82 by Mikkelson of the 1975 Washington Capitals, the Wings are not as bad as that team but with the way forwards blow past Leddy, the record is definitely in danger of being broken.
#LGR!!!!!!! Nice hat and jersey and to me I'm more interested to see what Reeves has left, Goodrow is interesting but he feels more "safe" than Reeves, thanks thg you do good work!
Can't wait to see Loui Eriksson get 50 pts this season and then Benning sign him to another 6x6 as a UFA
Insert Micheal Scott "no god please no"
LOL it seems Benning has learned his lesson. But watch him trade Boeser for Nolan Patrick. Ugh.
😆
Yeah, have Benning regret trading away Lord Loui, esp. when he's stuck with OEL lol
O yah it's all coming together
You should have had an honorary 33rd player, being Jack Eichel, for whichever team he ends up going to...
The problem getting an Eichel trade done is the entire NHL realizes how overrated he is. He can score, but he’s not a PPG player (which is a benchmark to be a superstar center). He also kinda sucks on the backcheck and is legitimately crappy in the faceoff dot.
@@f15stroke nah i think he will be ppg player but not in buffalo real problem is his health and surgery
@@f15stroke Also, his head is barely attached to his body.
He won't be traded before the season, though. At maximum he could be part of the biggest deadline-deal in years...
I dont think he's overrated at all. Not a good captain or leader but I believe he is either the 5th or 6th best under 25-year old forward player in the league. EXCEPT for his injury issue, and also I agree with the tried and true method of longer recovery over non-proven surgery
Bear is great two way. Saw him play and develop with the thunderbirds. He is pretty solid.
I’m really excited to see Buchnevich in St. Louis. Loved his game in New York

I really want this year to be like 1991 for the Wings, with Leddy and Seider being like McCrimmon and Lidstrom.
I share that same exact sentiment. Great undervalued move by Yzerman.
As an Isles fan I miss Leddy. Sucks they had to dump him. Brad Mcrimmon is insanely underrated player
Oh hey “welcome back” is back it suits TGH perfectly as it’s polite brisk and dare I say welcoming. What goes around comes around.

Really excited to see McCabe in Chicago. Hoping he fits in well, he's played with Murphy and Jones before so there's a chance that the 3 of them could help stabilize the blue line
@M P don’t forget once they get it out the d zone the offensive plan is to dump the puck as fast as you can without icing it
Jake McCabe is a really solid underrated played will miss him in Buffalo

@@MachoWrestling101 He was likeable and played tough.
I will miss Risto a lot more. At least until we see how good Rosen can be.

For Edmonton, I know Hyman will do well. I'm more excited to see how well Foegele and Ryan deepen the forward pool.
For me, with VAN, I'd be more interested to see if OEL can make some sort of bounce back than last year with Arizona.
OEL will be interesting to watch this year, him and that contact can really make the Canucks cup contenders or possibly waste the primes of Hughes, Boeser, and Pettersson
Excellent topic, THG. I'm pretty interested to see what Pius Suter does in a Winged Wheel jersey, this year.
The Danault thing isn't even about his production, its really his role. Sure I could see him being 2nd center.... this year. What about when either Vilardi, Byfield or Turcotte breaks out? hell be right back to third center role with mostly defensive missions. That's what he wanted to avoid in MTL. Apparently they were 500k PER YEAR of. That's bridgeable. The ask was the role.... and I don't think Danault keeps that role for long in LA
Cant wait to see OEL play in a canucks jersey, hopefully he has a bounce back season
He's going to be good. He admitted he lost motivation in Arizona and he's only a couple seasons removed from being one of the top dmen in the league.
@@Wayf4rer As an unbiased opinion, I think it could really turn out good for Vancouver or it can be a piece of shit trade if he can’t turn it around
@@simonrocheleau9417 Yeah thats true but im just talking the contract mostly

Who do you think theyre gonna pair OEL with
I'm looking forward to seeing Nedeljkovic, Leddy, and Suter on the Red Wings. I just couldn't pick only one.
Leddy will be fun for the Wings; he was just not what the Isles needed in the Trotz system this year. You'll like him!
I’m most interested in what Suter can do. Center is probably their biggest hole and I want to see if Suter is the real deal or was propped up by Debrincat and Kane.

I want to know how the 2016 first round swap turns out. Glass and Patrick had a lot of potential. Preds always need centers while Glass needed the opportunity and Vegas seems to think adding Patrick solved center depth.
i honestly am really anxious to see dadonov with vegas. i feel like he could fit nicely and could have a nice blunce back year
I think it will be very interesting to see if OEL can bounce back in a new environment.
With the amount of money invested and how close they are to the cap - wow this one will be watched with incredible interest. JB basically put his job on the line.

Yeah, if OEL doesn't pan out, that could spell the end for Benning.
I actually am looking forward to see what Loui Eriksson can do as well.... as a Canucks fan
It’s gonna be fun (and frustrating) to watch Leddy, Stetcher, Hronek, Seider, Dekeyser, and Lindstrom this season.
I’m excited to see what McGinn can do. Filling Tanev’s hole will be HARD, but I’ve got faith in Brock
For Pittsburgh I'm excited to see Heinen. He hasn't been talked about much, but I could see him breaking out this year and the Pens got him for a steal
Really excited about Buchnevich for the Blues.
Hill was never going to be started over Kuemper or Raanta and til this day I think to myself that he was meant to be become that #2 guy in the 2019 season until Kuemper got hurt during a big playoff push right at the trade deadline and because of that we had to keep Raanta instead of offloading him because we would then be stuck with only 1 goalie while sitting in first place at the time
Excited/Nervous to see what Kuemper does in Colorado! (mostly excited)
I hope that Craig Anderson gets at least 1 game in Ottawa. Buffalo vs Ottawa was a fun matchup before covid and Ottawa would hopefully give him a nice homecoming
He probably will. Buffalo usually shows some class in situations like that.
It's not like the tyrant Babcock is coaching for them.
Love all the content and videos Shannon. Keep up the great work. #LetsGoKraken
I’m curious about Foligno in Boston. Where will he end up slotting? And Coyle and Hall hasn’t been tested yet either. I think the tinkering will be strong
I’m stoked for Buchnevich in St. Louis, along with Saad! They seem like good replacements for Schwartz and Hoffman
Not sure you can replace Schwartz. He did so many little things that made any line he was on so much better. The type of player with incredible intangibles that often go unnoticed.
You did an excellent job not butchering any of the names while writing them on the go!! :D
"You go to Florida to score" lol. I'm thinking if you're charming enough you can do that anywhere. Not me though, I'm too old to deal anymore damage.
Lots of old ladies to bang in Tampa Florida.
Haula is definitely the third line option. Coyle (definitely didn’t earn it last year) can fill that 2 spot easy.
Tatar in NJD will be intriguing. Same with Dadanov in Vegas
Garland could do well with Petterson imo. Coyotes fan who honestly loves Garland and was extremely happy to call a Coyote. He puts in work. Yes he gets knocked off the puck easy but he works the boards, he back checks. He is worth that contract. Hes gonna be a star
I’m excited for Graves and Hamilton.. should change the whole Defense and create more offense as well.. that boosters 2 d pairings and Smith will have another year under his belt.. I think NJ turns into a bubble team immediately
Keep up the great vids, I love the "all teams" ones
As a Nashville fan I can’t wait to see Cody Glass play for us. Don’t think he’ll be a star right off the bat of course, but if he puts up 40 points I’ll be over the moon excited for his future with us.
Really curious to see how Ethan Bear does in Carolina, a team reeling off of the loss of Dougie Hamilton. Especially considering all of the Oilers fans that had him pegged as their #2 D. Great call Shannon.
Montréal has been a very good 5 on 5 team for years. Brining in a power play sniper is much more likely to work on a team that overall plays well 5 on 5. Ducharme and Julien both have conditioned the core to be very responsible at both ends of the ice.
HinostroZa for Buffalo to me, I think guys like mittlestadt, skinner, Thompson, will excel with more ice time but owen power Jack Quinn, Luukonen and Peterka if any of them see ice time this year is who I want to see if they count , Buffalo suddenly looks like Ottawa with the no star when eichel leaves but some great rookies
Cant wait to see Reinhart down here in fl. He should fit great i cant wait to see how the lines shake out.
And a great cap hit for Samson. An exciting team for sure.
I don't get what you do next year with Barkov, though? Buy Hornqvist out?
@@jeffreym.8957 Unfortunately maybe. Hornqvist is a great player and definitely brings a huge emotional presence the team desperately needed.
Definitely gotta be Darcy Kuemper for me in Colorado.. can he stay healthy and can he fill in for Grubauer?
Thanks for your channel
I’m so excited to see what the big signings in Anaheim can do! Excited to see Pateryn and Rafferty and Robinson 🥲
ive been checking waren foegle. cant wait to see him play with cass
Blackhawks fan here: I don’t like the Jones contract one bit, but I’m happy to be proven wrong.
As a Blues fan I'm not happy he wound up with the Blackhawks.
So I'm hoping you're right and I'm wrong. :)
Yep. Horrible contract, and I don't see him living up to it even for a year. I hope I am wrong, too.
Atkinson will be interesting as well for Flyers.
Keep an eye on Nick Leddy...the all time minus in NHL history is -82 by Mikkelson of the 1975 Washington Capitals, the Wings are not as bad as that team but with the way forwards blow past Leddy, the record is definitely in danger of being broken.
I will be watching Perreault Montreal, Brossoit in Vegas and Eichel (wherever he ends up)
have you done or thought to do a 32 franchise defining players or players who changed their franchise?
Love the 32 team vids
I've had that Saint/St spelling order problem when doing geneology too.
#LGR!!!!!!! Nice hat and jersey and to me I'm more interested to see what Reeves has left, Goodrow is interesting but he feels more "safe" than Reeves, thanks thg you do good work!
