NorthWoods Posted June 27 Posted June 27 (edited) @#15 - Faulk Trade 15. Anaheim Ducks: Nikita Klepov, RW Team: Saginaw (OHL) DOB: 06/27/2008 | Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 180 | Shot: L 2025-26 stats: GP: 67 | G: 37 | A: 60 | P: 97 Scouting notes: The OHL's first rookie scoring champion since 1973-74, Klepov thrived in Saginaw's offense-oriented system. His creativity shines through give-and-goes, attacking space and constant movement to create passing lanes. When pressured, he cuts directly inside defensive coverage, collapsing the structure and creating space for teammates. His one-timer is high-end and will be an asset in the NHL, as he can fire pucks top corner before goalies react. Concerns arise with his defensive engagement, physical skills and pace away from the puck, which will need to improve for NHL coaches to give him the space he needs to succeed. The model loves his production and comparable player success rate, projecting top-line impact with a high floor as a middle-six contributor. There are a lot of similarities to Jake Guentzel in his game. Klepov isn't going to be impactful defensively, but his elite offensive toolbox gives him the foundation to be a dual-threat offensive dynamo. How he fits: The Ducks acquired this pick for Mason McTavish while the Blues were on the clock, ending a long saga. Armed with a first-round pick, the Ducks swing big with Klepov, getting great value at No. 15. Klepov is a dual-threat offensive player with a good physical makeup and high-end potential. Given all of the young talent at forward for the Ducks, Klepov doesn't have to be a top-line forward, but he's almost certainly going to be in their top six. They executed the trade once Klepov started to fall, and there is a real chance Klepov will make a major impact driving offense and providing reliable production. The well-roundedness of his game will make his linemates more dangerous. This is excellent value for the Ducks, who move on from a player who was at odds with the organization and get a player with 70- to 80-point potential. Edited June 27 by NorthWoods Quote

Does that mean the wings could have potentially traded Cossa and their 1st for McTavish? Quote
slothfacekilla Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Kevin Weekes hinting that a Hellebuyck trade is imminent, really interested to see to where. Quote

buddha Posted July 1 Posted July 1 byram signs for 6x12.5. hey steve, nice job for not signing edvinsson while you had the chance. Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Oh my god that Trouba contract is insane lol. I wonder how the Sharks would look if they didn't get insane lottery luck all the time Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Bob was pretty bad last season and will be 38 next season. That is going to be very interesting. Quote
Hongbit Posted July 1 Posted July 1 21 minutes ago, slothfacekilla said: I know Kenny’s your favorite punching bag but the Corey Perry deals are a GM masterclass. Signed him last summer to a $3.5M deal. Traded him at the deadline for a 2nd round pick. Kenny signs him back now only $1M and you better believe another contending team will come calling for him at the deadline again. He’s the gift that keeps on giving. As for the others, Haula is not a bad depth signing as a 3 or 4 C. Zuccarello is probably done but maybe he shows enough to bring back some assets at the deadline. Certainly worth a flyer on a 1 year heavily incentivized deal. Definitely think Gustafsson is done but he’s a Laviolette guy and maybe worth the tiny 1 year investment. Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 1 Posted July 1 It's a joke about Holland signing old players because he seems to like signing old players lol. I'm glad you're happy with what the team is doing, hopefully they have a great year for you. Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Can't believe the Sharks are about to bail out a division rival by taking Nurse with no salary retention wew Quote

buddha Posted July 1 Posted July 1 if the wings were at all concerned with winning next year, they could have beaten that offer for trocheck. its possible he didnt want to come here (like trouba before), but i'm glad they didnt try. they need to come as close to bottoming out as possible next year. Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Lmao Werenski is now saying he wants to be in Columbus! I wonder if they didn't expect this kind of backlash. Quote
buddha Posted July 1 Posted July 1 so will larkin follow suit since we arent giving him away for peanuts to minnesota? Quote
