I still do not know if either sameulsson or joker are 20 minute per game guys on a winning team
- homiedclown


I like both guys as 20 minutes players.

Fair to have different opinions 🤝

Cutter Gauthier is the closest to Slafkovsky in comparable skill set with Physicality.

I would say his closest comparison would be brady tkachuk as a center but Gauthier could Surpass brady with his rare skill type though

Draft or trade for someone that hasn't worked out with a different organization

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports a 24th civil lawsuit will be filed against Deshaun Watson.
It's the second lawsuit filed against Watson this week. The two new suits are the first since the first 22 were filed in 2021. Watson has fully participated in Browns' OTAs and will be allowed to practice until the start of the season if he's suspended. Commissioner Roger Goodell said in May the league was "nearing the end of the investigative period" of Watson’s case under its personal conduct policy.

Hmmm, maybe they move up if Jiricek is still there at 7 with Ottawa.
He is more than likely gone at that point, but if Miro and Gauthier move up, it could happen.

Maybe, rather see if Luneau Chesley or that monster Mavarek are there at 28 or close be cheaper to move up

That's what his contract is going to do also, Cashman confuses me a lot.

If Gauthier ends up being better than either Tkachuk I’ll eat my hat.

The production from any of these NTDP players pales in comparison to 2019.

I can see Gauthier bringing something to the top 6 that we don’t currently have, but I don’t get excited about him like when Boldy went though the program.

Cooley is an exciting player but won’t get to 9z

Nazar seems like poor man’s Zegras. I would rather him over Gauthier though as I think his ceiling is higher, but I would agree that Gauthier has a very projectable floor as a middle 6 winger with size

you build around guys like judge and torres IMO and your depth comes from guys like stanton, rizzo and gallo

Eww.

The only "depth" I want him to be a part of is at the bottom of the ocean.

Gallo is really bad this year, him and Hicks can take the bus. Let Flores play a bit
