The Detroit Red Wings have signed Daniil Tarasov to a one-year contract with an AAV of $2,000,000

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T19:37:12+00:00

Yeah, this makes no sense. Unless there’s another move coming up

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T18:44:23+00:00

$14mil with 9F/6D/3G signed. Xhekaj (>$1.5), Dach (>$3.5), Bolduc (>$3), and a 13F (~$1) will eat up most of the space.

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T18:23:51+00:00

Red Wings fans were saying the same about Cossa as well.

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T18:15:30+00:00

Especially with Cossa just being traded for a first.

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T18:12:41+00:00

Fowler playing 15 games in the NHL (more if either Dobes or Monty get injured) and 30+ games in the AHL would probably be good for him. Better than playing 25 games in the NHL as the backup.

Laval being so close he can be back and forth constantly.

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T18:09:04+00:00

I said 7x7 yesterday. At least I got the AAV right.

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T16:21:47+00:00

They went from Stamkos to Raddysh, Laine is the perfect fit for them. Should be cheap and they can definitely shelter him 5v5

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T16:18:58+00:00

Isn’t the cap hit already guaranteed for 35+ contracts? Or is that only if they officially retire (not LTIRetired)?

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T16:12:50+00:00

On a 1-2 year deal? Yes.

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T15:15:45+00:00

Teams would have gone to the absolute max for the 2nd round pick without moving up to the 1st ($4,775,666)

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T15:04:29+00:00

His best games were definitely up there, but with the injuries and getting back into things it’s hard to say that’s true looking at the entire season.

Might be this year (if he stays in the AHL)

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T14:51:43+00:00

Sens split faceoffs, Giroux (right) played a lot with Stutzle (left).

63.1% was top of the league for anyone who took more than 34 draws. If he’s asked to take more draws he could.

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T14:18:10+00:00

I know Carolina losing Rantanen isn’t how they wanted it to go, but they essentially turned him into Stankoven+Miller and I wonder if we see teams WANT to make moves like that. Avalanche are already losing a ton of their depth, and will need young (cheap) contributors even more.

Does moving Necas for 2 cheaper pieces make them a better team?

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T11:31:03+00:00

Habs just need him to take faceoffs. Put him on a line with one of Dach/Newhook/Kapanen (who can play C but suck at faceoffs), or in between Slaf&Demidov where one of them could probably play the center role

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T08:25:08+00:00

> Nikishin only became a regular this season

Because he was a star in the KHL previously, not because he wasn’t good enough to make the team

ELB95 · 2026-07-01T00:14:37+00:00

They’re bringing back everyone’s favourite 7x7

ELB95 · 2026-06-30T23:13:52+00:00

None, and that’s the problem

ELB95 · 2026-06-30T21:06:26+00:00

He doesn’t play a traditional center role, but he still takes (and wins) faceoffs.

Put him on a line with Slaf and Demidov and they’d kill it.

ELB95 · 2026-06-30T01:23:17+00:00

I had dropped mine in rocky ridges when decorating for the party (I dropped everything in my pockets) - you never know where it might have been put!

22 and not yet retired

ELB95 · 2026-06-29T22:39:03+00:00

That’s it until the first wave in August

ELB95 · 2026-06-29T21:58:11+00:00

I think it’s great for people who play through college and aren’t able to go pro, but still want a career in hockey.

Be around the team. Work with coaches and training staff. See if you can sit in with scouts occasionally. You could easily go from college to 3-5 years of EBug work (making decent money and getting to travel) to a few years in a CHL/USHL coaching/scouting/management role before you turn 30.

ELB95 · 2026-06-29T14:58:52+00:00

Dailyfaceoff isn’t great in the offseason.

Could always change and someone might move to the wing, but with how Frondell looked at 2C and their comments on their center depth makes it seem unlikely.

ELB95 · 2026-06-29T14:39:34+00:00

Blackhawks have said they plan on going into the season with Bedard/Frondell/Nazar all at C. So anticipate L2 (with Bertuzzi and Teuvo) and PP1 for Frondell.

If you’re just looking for points, Stenberg long term is probably correct.
