Hagel's cap hit is about as bargain as it can get.

The plus plus in the Lindholm deal was a C prospect and AHL player.

A 1st, a quality prospect and another lesser piece makes sense.

LeBrun on Insider Trading says the reason the #Yotes    are asking for two 1st RDers ++ for Jakob Chychrun is cause Anaheim got a 1st RDer, two 2nd RDers ++ for Lindholm, an older player, Hagel fetched two 1st RDers cause of his low cap hit. Chychrun is young with a bargain cap hit.

Mittelstadt - Can play PP, can play and score on PK, can be a good shootout option, not good 5 on 5

Olofsson - can shoot that’s absolutely it, terrible 5 on 5

Hinostroza- can go fast and that’s it, legitimately terrible at everything else

I’d swear Mittelstadt makes 9 mil with how people single him out

They are having an awful night 5 on 5. It’s an awful combination of a line.

Every forward line is having a good time tonight above 50% xG except for the Mittelstadt trio at 10% in NST’s model.

They’re bad at EV.

The only possibility of offsetting that is to be kinda good everywhere else. Mittelstadt is. The other two aren’t.

That being said they can break them up and sit Hinostroza anytime now

I have zero use for Hinostroza.

Would a rookie, figuring it out be any worse? Isn’t that what the seasons for anyways?

Breaking them up isn't easy. They've tried and failed with most options. Might mean 4C Mitts or scratching VO. Don't mind either option, but they won't.

1- cool, easy pass then

2- RDers reads like Right Defensers
Weird abbreviation for rounders, especially when the word rounders isn’t even necessary- two 1sts would’ve gotten the point across just fine

3- Twitter sucks

Are there 10 players we’d take for the next 10 years over Thompson? 15 tops?

There is one roster spot on a good team for a player that is only useful on special teams, that’s the issue.

If we move one of Mitts or Olofsson into the top 6 now they are torpedoing two forward lines instead of one.

Coincidence that this is the most physical game they have played in weeks and it’s the best game they’ve played.
