Perhaps the Devils will trade Jake Allen, Dougie Hamilton, Erik Haula, Chase Stillman, and a 2026 5th-rounder to the Jets for Connor Hellebuyck and a 2027 7th-rounder before the trade deadline if the Jets struggle in the 2nd half of the 2024-25 season.
there have been some goalies that have done most of their whole time with one team but it`s not that many and the prime of a goalie seems to be shorter than other positions so long term contract really did not happen for that reason it is hard to see where this is leading but 11x8 rejected is NUTS...
At one of the CBJ games I went to he was doing amazing tricks with the puck during warmup. The he traded his stick for a bag of Skittles. He was always smiling. Horrible tragedy in many ways ❤❤
Thank you for watching! I think we might try to catch a Wings game in a couple of months and see what those Michigan winters are all about 😅. I know my wife loved it up there and said she’d want to move there in the future.
I’ve got to come for a game soon! I might try to come sometime late December and let everyone in the channel know just in case anyone would want to meet. I know I’m still an incredibly small channel, but I’d love to meet anyone that subscribes 👍!
@@HockeyBrigade geez I didn't even notice. I just think they are all rock solid again this year. And the Canucks may have a question mark in net but I think they improved their forward depth. And Zadorov was pretty average in the regular season last year and Lindholm was disappointing so I think they won't feel their loss too much if they do feel it till playoffs when both of them upped their game. Also I see Silovs and Lankanen as competent fill-ins in until Demko returns. Finally watching Edmonton in the preseason they seem disinterested to me. I have a feeling they may be reading their own press and get off to another slow start.
@@danielpatterson5189 As a Canucks fan this is exactly what I want to hear. I’m actually pretty hopeful about the Lankinen/Silovs duo, but I have to dampen my expectations so I don’t get disappointed 😅.
As a CBJ fan I'm kinda sad to see him go but I think it's good to unload his contract. He seems to be injured a lot. He's had a rough couple years. I wish him luck. ❤
The Devils will trade Nolan Foote, Isaac Poulter, Chase Stillman, Josh Filmon, and a 2025 4th-rounder to the Bruins for Jeremy Swayman and a 2026 6th-rounder and then sign Jeremy to an 8-year contract worth $96 million ($12 million AAV a year), so Jeremy and Jakob Markstrom will form the best goalie tandem the Devils have seen since Martin Brodeur and Chris Terreri.
This season, the Columbus Blue Jackets will finish last in the Metropolitan Division with a 15-59-8 record and miss the playoffs. On April 12, 2027, John P. McConnell will sell the Blue Jackets to a Hartford-based group led by hedge fund investors Ray Dalio and Todd Boehly for $1.68 billion, including a relocation fee of $195 million to relocate the Blue Jackets to Hartford and on April 15, 2027, the NHL Board of Governors will approve both the sale and relocation of the Blue Jackets to Hartford in a unanimous vote, so after 26 years in Columbus, the Blue Jackets will relocate to Hartford to become the 2nd incarnation of the Hartford Whalers and play at their new $1.2 billion 20,000-seat riverfront arena on the site where the Connecticut Convention Center currently stands on the 2027-28 NHL season.
They've been kinda mid and I don't think they'll do much better this year. Texier has been better last year but I don't know how he'll do moving. Great video ❤
With the injuries they’re dealing with too, I definitely think it could be a regression type season. Probably not something LA fans are too happy to think about.
I really hope they can. They’re one of my favorite teams to watch right now. And while they aren’t a team I root for, they make me still want to tune in when they’re playing.
I think for me it’s how long they’ve been able to avoid being a bad team. This year should probably be more of the same, although I think they’ll miss the playoffs again.
I’m hoping they get a little more aggressive in free agency after this season too. Too many friends of mine are Chicago fans and they miss the team being good.
@@kimberlyduncan1053 I’m really hoping Korpi can bounce back. I think Boston really could slide this year with Ullmark being gone. But if Swayman’s contract doesn’t become an issue and Korpi can be a good backup the Bruins will be dangerous again.
@@HockeyBrigadeVery true. Hopefully Korpi will thrive with a better defense. Senators had a rough year & it shows in his numbers. Love seeing how things play out!
Hey buddy! Love that hockey season is back! Of course this has hit CBJ so hard. When you're in the building it's so different, almost somber. It's hard seeing Monahan on the ice. It also brings back memories of Kivi. I love your videos. You are so knowledgeable! I'm going to catch up on your other preseason videos & of course watch them all season! Hope everything is good with you 😊 ❤
@@kimberlyduncan1053 It’s great to see your comment! Thank you so much, and we’re doing well. My dog turns 8 here soon, and has a lot of grey on him but still acts like a puppy. My wife is doing great too, and I hope you’re doing well 👍!
@@HockeyBrigadeThat's good to hear. I really wish you & your wife & dog well. Having some issues with my eyes but I'm working through it. Hope to watch you for many years ❤
As a Sens fan sadly, no, I don’t think they did enough. I know there is a lot of hype. 1 they have not proved it 2 there defense was not good at all even on a 2-1 loss to Buffalo being outshot huge. This is not a recipe for success.
I agree, I think they’ll finished bottom four this year in the division. Not too surprising there, but I’m curious to see how the bottom four plays out in the Atlantic.
Seider's numbers last year are extremely deceptive. He was almost never deployed in the offensive zone all season long and was given the hardest defensive assignments in the league by a mile. Nobody is even near to close. Despite that, the dude still put up 40+ points and over 200+ hits and blocked shots. He also had 9 goals. Nobody is "hoping" he turns into a number 1 defenseman. He already is at 23 years old (not even prime). Also, Seider is a two-way defenseman (not an offensive defenseman as you stated) deployed as a defensive defenseman with very little help (his partners are not 1st pairing quality). He currently is, by far, the best defenseman on the wings and is one of the top 20 defensemen in the league. Furthermore, Seider at 8.5milx7yrs is VERY good value. His market comparable (and projections) were above 9x8. As the years pass and the salary cap increases, the % of cap is going to be very team friendly. There was no discussion of Raymond...so I have no idea what your problem there is. His contract, in general, is also seen as a team-friendly deal. The Wings have a projected 19 million in cap space for the next off-season (25-26) with no major rfa/ufa players to sign. So they are fine when it comes to the cap. TL;DR Your discussion showed a lack of nuance understanding of the analytics behind Seider's numbers. Showed little knowledge of the current professional opinions of Seider's current, much less projected, talent. This lack of understanding lead to very wrong conclusions regarding the value of Seider's contract. For Seider's contract to be viewed as poor, his play has to severely regress over the next several seasons. Finally, if you are going to put Raymond in the title, it would benefit you to actually discuss him in a meaningful way. Why is his contract bad? Sorry, but I cannot like or subscribe if this is the level of content you are going to bring.
I don’t think the Raymond contract is bad, I think I said it in the video. As for Seider he is playing a hard role at a young age. I get that he’s got a lot of potential however, I do think it’s just a lot of these long term deals that bother me. I think both of these deals could be good for the team, but the length is what bothers me more for Seider. I get that it locks him up for years, but I’d be happier with a four year deal. The team in general has potential, but we still have to see. I’m glad you gave your opinion though, because I genuinely want to hear what people have to say. And like I always say, I want players to prove me wrong. Best of luck to the Wings this year 👍.
@@HockeyBrigade This will be a long post. Rebuttal: The term is what makes these deals good. A 7+ year deal buys up some prime ufa years. A four year deal would mean you have to pay MUCH more in 4 years as the player enters their prime. It is not cost-effective for higher end talent. It would be especially bad when 3-4 years from now is the time frame you would also have to be paying upcoming players like Edvinsson, Danielson, Kasper, Cossa, ASP, or MBN (provided they pan out as projected). If even one of them becomes a star player you are building future cap trouble for yourself, especially if you are going to hand out another short-term contract. In that situation, you now have 3 or more star players (at least 2 ufas) to pay at the same time. The more times you have to make a contract, the more expensive they become. I agree that you don't pay big money for potential only though. However, Seider isn't just potential. Again, he is ranked top 20 in the league by many professionals. He is CURRENTLY worth the contract he got (meaning he isn't even being paid up to his potential). As for Raymond, your words were "I'm not as bother by (his contract)." That is not a positive statement. It means you are bothered by it, just not as much as Seider's. Seeing as how the rest of the video is justification for why you think Seider's contract is so bad, one can only assume that, by comparison, Raymond also received a bad contract. However, Raymond is making what his skills/stats say is market value currently. As the cap rises, this contract gets better. The only way this contract goes sour is if Raymond regresses. I agree that Yzerman has some stinkers on the books, but most of them are short-term. The worst contracts are Husso, Copp, and Holl. Both Husso and Copp were seen as good signings when made. Neither has lived up to expectations (Husso due to injury affecting play (hopefully the reason) and Copp due to play). Holl was a gamble that failed, but is only a 3-year deal. Chiarot isn't bad for his cap (ufa is always expensive), the problem is he currently has to play higher than he should. Yes, all of them are problems, but will be gone in the short-term and won't affect the Wings predicted competitive window. The wings only have 3 long-term contracts (6+ years): Larkin, Raymond, Seider. Yzerman doesn't give term that much. In addition, the highest paid player is 8.75mil. There is a lot of cap room to add future talent. Recommendations: If you are truly interested in improving your content (which your response seems to indicate), then you should start these conversations by acknowledging/discussing professional opinions and the general consensus regarding the topics (in this case the Raymond and Seider contracts). Then you can explain why you think those opinions are correct or not. Doing the above not only helps you build credibility as a knowledgeable source, it also improves the depth and breadth of your analysis. It also adds more weight or respect to your opinions.
I definitely am open to criticism, so I think it’s fair to question why I wanted the shorter deals. My mindset is typically that the prospects, even the top ones aren’t usually going to be as good as advertised. And I’m under the assumption whoever is the GM is going to pay other people too much money before those new deals are even signed. Seider’s defensive numbers didn’t rank highly especially at 5v5, or on the PK. Now I will say he definitely doesn’t get a lot of O-zone time, but his shots weren’t especially dangerous anyway. Now I think him only being 23, is good and you lock him up for that prime. But, I just don’t like long deals in general, with injuries being a big concern too. I know I’m too conservative with deals, but I just hate seeing teams possibly get stuck in the future.
caps fan , they have went from to old and now a great mix and still getting younger as prospects take over, ryan leonard will join the team as we go into playoffs, we now have two third overall 1st rounders in their prime at center for the top two lines all wthout a teardown san jose style. i would like to see wilson on 2nd or third line, dont forget pto vrana. i see caps third behind nj and ny with caralina a possible wildcard but no guarantee because atlantic division looks very strong. , ovi gets his 42 this year.
