We lied. New @MaxTermPod.bsky.social dropped this morning. @kylestich.bsky.social talks how the Necas deal could impact Kempe and Tuch, how the Cooley deal impacts other RFA Cs like Bedard, Fantilli & Carlsson, as well as panic meter for all involved. Available wherever you get your podcasts! #NHL

Logan Cooley & the Utah Mammoth have agreed to an extension. A little above projected AAV, but makes sense with an extra UFA year bought. He’s the first of the star ELC RFA centers to sign, setting the market! #NHL #TusksUp

Harley and the Dallas Stars agree to a deal just about at projection. A fair #MaxTerm deal, yet most long term deals for stars his age are going to age very well for the team in this cap climate. #NHL #TexasHockey

Filip Gustavsson & the Minnesota Wild have agreed to an extension. Term & AAV a touch below projected, but this is a fair deal. Only thing we’d say is after the Demko extension, possible this projection would’ve went up mid year… #NHL #MNWild

Something @jamesfinch.bsky.social questioned a couple months ago on the Max Term Podcast... Brodin going from a full NMC to nothing is interesting. Could he be a big piece used to acquire a top F? Spurgeon, Faber, Middleton, Buium, Bogosian, Jiricek. Lambos/O'Rourke in pipeline... #MNWild #NHL

There might only be one top6 center rental available via trade: #Isles Brock Nelson. Then an ideal 2-way 3C in #SeaKraken Yanni Gourde. From there, a slight drop but quality Cs like #NHLBruins Trent Frederic or #GoHabsGo Jake Evans. Do they move in trade or sign extensions? #NHL

Solid deal for Marcus Pettersson and the Canucks. The top 4 Dman gets an extra year over projection, but that may have allowed Vancouver to keep the AAV down. In our eyes, this is fair for both sides. #Canucks #NHL

If a shakeup was ever going to come for the Sabres, that was the game that signals it’s time. How? Players available that can make a true impact that won’t block with a NTC/NMC? It’s easier said than done, but at some point… “Doing nothing is crazy!” #Sabrehood

At the end of the day, the trade probably favors #Smashville. Both backups are struggling but Annunen is young with some unrealized potential (glimpses of it here and there). #GoAvsGo #NHL

James Finch @jamesfinch.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

#Smashville is banking on the potential of Annunen, #GoAvsGo are looking for a veteran backup in Wedgewood to calm the crease and maybe provide a slight spark/jolt. Neither has been good this season, so time will tell if this “fixes” the problems for the Predators and/or Avalanche. #NHL

On the Kreider Sabres idea floating around… I say this not knowing his NTC (15 teams) but assuming it has BUF, feel like other teams like BOS, STL who are looking for a scoring forward would interest him more to the point that I assume he’d block Buffalo. #NYR #Sabrehood #NHL

Brett Howden signed a 5 year, $2.5M AAV contract to stay with Vegas. We did not expect to see this type of term for Howden. AAV considering the length is fine but definitely an unexpected contract.

That was a clinic of a powerplay by the Jets that led to their 4th goal against the Panthers. Goal came just after the penalty expired, but solid opportunities, movement & over a minute of consistent off. zone possession time. Scheifele hat trick. #GoJetsGo are a problem! #NHL
