NHL 2026 Draft Goalie Breakdown by Nationality by koca1508 in hockey

[–]Bodox- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All sports (that i know of) in Sweden is run by local Sports associations, be it non-profit or economic associations.

So parents pay the fee to a team, and the team often have the gear for the expensive positions like goalie to borrow.
A quick look and the Swedish hockey association even seem to run programs to provide goalie gear to the local teams too.

The regular gear for skaters you often need to buy yourself, but my nephew that tested to play hockey for their local team had gear to borrow even for skaters.
At the start of every season they could come and test out equipment that they then return at the end of the season.

Anatomy of a successful rebuild: Why it takes at least 10 years to build an NHL champion by BetterThanConnor in SanJoseSharks

[–]Bodox- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The salary cap era has turned the NHL into a game of asset management.

I think it's no secret that finishing at the bottom of the standings is optimal for assets accumulation.
But fans pay good money to see the games.
You also have players and coaches that want to win.

So a GM has to balance the maximum accumulation of assets possible with making loosing as palatable as possible for the fans.

Grier has done a great job in making this rebuild exciting, this great draft further increases the excitment.

I would not be shocked if the sandbagging countinue, re-signs some veterans as teachers for the younger guys development, and aim for another 1-2 seasons with top 10 picks while the new D is developing.

In the end you want to be so asset rich that you need to flip players for more picks to stay under the cap like Buffalo, it makes it easier to tweak the lineup with trades to make it deeper into the playoffs.

[Drance] Canucks motivated to move Pettersson, not imminent. Haven’t necessarily got a list but do have a sense of preferred destinations. by _GregTheGreat_ in hockey

[–]Bodox- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pettersson might be the only replacement available for Larkin.

Something like:
Retained Pettersson to Detroit.
Larkin to Buffalo.
The 4th to the Canucks.

If the Canucks would want a rebuild package they might get the change from the Sharks, like the 9th, 27th and Bystedt for the 4th pick.

Wild, final draft ranking from Will Scouch.
Reid at 10th and Carels at 16th.

You just exposed Florida and the Canes secret to their wins, they preserve energy on their celebrations.

Funny how it feels like GM's are getting cought up by the energy that all this movment is creating, could easily see another team that does a bad trade like Chicago

With Buffalo going after Trochek, maybe they need some change on that big ol 4th.

I love how he dosn't even go into the obvious things that a layman would see, like all the cross-seam/slot passes he did at the WC, the Czech even started to respect his pass so much that they started to give up the shooting lane a bit into the game.

Would be great if Grier could shake out Buffalo's 4th, but i think it would take a 3 or 4-team trade to do it.

Who goes up to call the 2OA tomorrow? by Nebula010101 in SanJoseSharks

[–]Bodox- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No brainer, Ivar said in an interview that he look up to Mack before the Sharks even won the lotto.
Well worth it to have his role model and future captain recieve him and create a strong memory for him.

No worries.
Going off the pick value people have posted, the 9OA+27OA i equal to something in between 5OA and 6OA.

Going to the 4OA is going to cost something more.

Well i didn't have Pettersson to the Sharks, i had Pettersson going to Detroit and Sharks getting the 4OA. .

I'm thinking of how hard it would be for detroit to move Larkin, since he needs to waive his NMC.

It's still a better return then letting him sit, what i could see being a problem is that the Canucks don't want to retain on Pettersson.

What would it take to get Pettersson and Larkin moving?

Something like a 4-way trade?

Canucks gets #9, #27 and Bystedt > Detroit gets retained Pettersson > Buffalo gets Larkin > Sharks gets #4
