Did you know a year in advance that Subban would get traded (again), Marleau would end up back in San Jose, and Panarin and Bobrovsky would split from Columbus? lukefoxjukebox did. Our resident clairvoyant tries predicting the future again ⤵️
Did you know a year in advance that P.K. Subban would get traded , Patrick Marleau would find his way back to San Jose, and Artemi Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky would split from Columbus after the playoffs?We’re not guaranteeing all of these nine NHL predictions will come to pass in the next 365 days, but if you want to become a very rich fan, feel free to place a prop bet or six based on our supreme clairvoyance.The salary cap has broken up more bands than creative differences.
Toss in the fact that Radko Gudas, a welcome addition to the back end, is also heading toward free agency, and that the cap ceiling is only supposed to rise by about $1 million, and there simply isn’t enough dough to go around. Backstrom makes $6.7 million, well short of market value, and we take it as a positive sign that the veteran is acting as his own agent in negotiations with the franchise that has shown him loyalty. Talk has been quieter on the Holtby front, and the 30-year-old Cup winner would be in his rights to ask for a payday in the ballpark of Sergei Bobrovsky’s $70 million and negotiate down from there.
The bet here is that Ceci, Muzzin and Barrie all shake hands with the Leafs and wish each other well. Dermott and Holl receive shorter-term extensions and modest pay bumps, the door opens for Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren to become full-timers, and Toronto goes hard after a right shot, like Alex Pietrangelo. Which brings us to…That Blues GM Doug Armstrong traded for and signed another veteran right-shot defenceman, Justin Faulk, at the outset of the season was a red flag.
The 2019 champs already have two younger top-four right shots, Colton Parayko and Faulk, under lock and key. They have a young stud, 23-year-old Vince Dunn, due for a juicy raise as a restricted free agent. RFA forward Sammy Blais is also in need of a pay bump, and the Blues’ interest in Taylor Hall indicates where they’re thinking of spending.Stream over 500 NHL games blackout-free, including the Flames, Oilers, Leafs and Canucks.
