    Should have been really obvious to me that Steve having one less job would mean he can just bust out immediate videos on every trade.

    Full time SDPN Steve coming up rapid! Is the coffee good enough these days?!
    SDPN draft NSH '23 – fuelled by coffee beer?

    if he can put up 40-60 points while not being a total liability on the the second line that's perfect for the avs. hopefully he bounces back well after that injury at the end of last season. pretty crazy trade overall though.

    And the Seth Jones for Ryan Johansen trade tree expands further! Are you doing those any more now that you left Sportsnet??

    As a Preds fan, this was 100% a cap dump trade. We've got a decent number of young centers in the org that can fit Joey's role and get a lot of good experience in the process. This was another sign that the Preds are going full rebuild, and honestly, I'm fine with that. Galchenyuk (if we sign him) can easily fulfill a 2/3C role (likely 3C, tbh) for significantly less money than we were paying Joey. All in all, I'm not fussed by this trade

    To me it’s not hard to understand for the preds. The team is rebuilding finally and getting rid of another 4 mil helps the team tremendously it’s solely a cap dump. It was time to do this.

    No team in the nhl with the salary cap the way it is would of taken johansen for anything more than 4m without nashville also having to give up picks.

    Believe it or not, with the cap the way it is, this was the cheapest way to get rid of johansen. And in 2 years when johansen is off the books they'll have room to do sinilar things with the then bad contract of josi and duchene

    It feels like cheating, Hear have a topnotch player and 4million bucks… he had an off year but still its weird

  21. Preston Freels

    Ultimately the preds were just going to buy out Johansen. He doesn’t fit the “speed and skill” for the Trotz is going for. With the trade the preds actually save a little money

    Good video, gave it a thumbs up, and have two thoughts about it: 1) you said that Sidney Crosby and Phil Kessel got in the way of Ryan Johansen winning a Cup in 2017. What you forgot to mention is that Evgeni Malkin should have won the Conn Smythe that years, and not Crosby (although I do realize that is heresy in Canada); and 2) When looking at this year's free agent class, the best thing to do may be nothing. Stand pat and wait for the cap to go up $1 million next year (not the $4 million that is projected, because the owners will want that and Bettman will deliver. And yes, as per another one of your videos, a lockout is looming).

    Its an improvement on paper, as a GM tat the starting block. It does offer size to he forward group that the Avs lack in the playoff with Val and Landy gone. 40 to 70 pts will be an improvement and having a true center does help
