great points. for me, I think Dallas has 2 terrible signings that belong on the worst 5. or at least one of them. I'd say CO signing John Drouin 1 yr @ 2.5 belongs on my top5 best

The Canucks messed up Jake's development. Virtanen could've taken his job seriously.

great video

go Caps!

❤

Bennett for the flames is an absolute bust although I'm happy he's found a home in Florida

That Honka part didn’t make sense, if he’s an offensive defencemen with a light frame at 5’10 how in the heck did he draw comparisons to Ristolainen?

How is Ritchie not a bust? He’s meh if he was picked in the 4th round or later. But 10th overall and a meh? For what? Anaheim got 43 goals out of him in 5 years. That’s something you sign a free agent for 1 mil to do, not a 10th overall pick. At least Virtanen got 55 goals. BUSTED

The inconsistency in volume is extremely annoying

They already changed the jerseys to there old logo with orange 😊

Surprised by some of your picks...but...you back them up with statistics. I note that most of the good/bad signings were primarily lower impact players but shows how you view the money spent for the value attained...respect there.

23:30 you said traded with Ryan Bjugstad… its Nick Bjugstad

Wow, haha Duhaime and janmark are the guys you need too win, I am a Canucks fan and would take either of them on my 4th at either of those cap hits.

Kings and PLD exit ! Bad moove; Caps ! and Oilers re signing the Perry Monster !!! jinx ! he s been in 5 ! finals ; and won one...One more loss and...??!

Not at all a good list. The top 5 worst contracts were all the bigger names. Who cares if someone paid a role player between 1 and 2 million with the cap going way up. None of those signings is going to break a teams flexibility

I like Monahan better than Debrusk well except for the age. Yeah I like Monahan, he's good, but I don't see the 5.5 million. He also has had historical, terrible injury problems. If his hips go again you have nothing for your investment. Checking Centers signed for four/five million, usually too much. I like Gustaffson but he only thrives in the perfect situation. He's no Shayne Gostisbehere. Poor Joel Edmundson. Love Him. He never lasts a full season. Can't stay healthy. I forgot Bergevin was over there in LA. The crazy moves they have made the last couple years suddenly become clear. I like the Chris Dreidger signing for a minimum salary in Florida. He was the former back-up and looked to be on the verge of being a good NHL goalie before he got injured at the World's. Finally back from that in time to maybe back up for an old Bobrovsky. Much more of a chance of playing than say Matt Murray. Matt Duchene for one year at 3$ million I think was good value. Chandler Stephenson at $6.25 million is probably getting too much money. Vegas owed him this money but he finally is getting it from Seattle. I don't understand any of the Detroit goalie signings. Talbot and Campbell? Also have Husso. At least Campbell and Lyon are making less than a million. I'm Loving the Brady Skjei signing in Nashville. Lyubushkin for $3.25 million seems like a lot. Like the skinner and arvidsson(except for injury) pick ups in edmonton. I really liked the Jacob Slavin resigning for 8 years (rest of his career) at 6.46 million a year. He has been one of the best defenseman in the league for half a decade now and he's much more important for Carolina now that they have let Skjei and Pesce go. I think it will balance nicely as his skills diminish but the cap goes up. He doesn't have the hard miles of some players so he may age well. Only makes one and a half hits every sixty minutes played. Interesting list. thanks Isn't Duhaimie a Goon ? I think Janmark is an actual player.

I hope the Oilers didn't just sign away the playoffs in 2025. Skinner has played over 1,000 games and has never been in the playoffs. Brindamor gave him away to Buffalo for a few middle level drart picks. And made the playoffs every year since. He is minus 130 for his career cause his defensive game is non-existent. Oilers have alot of fire power. Hope it's enough to make up for Skinner.

Had to switch videos after the Gustafson take sorry

Paying Sean Monahan exactly what he is worth in free agency isn’t bad value in any way, even a slight overpay wouldn’t be. Hyman has indeed one of the best value contract in the NHL, but comparing it to recently signed fair value contracts doesn’t make them bad. Imagine comparing every Super Star contracts to Draisatl’s expiring one, it wouldn’t make sense. That being said, i do agree that CBJ are taking a big risk by giving him 5 years, due to his injury history, but hey i guess this is why they won his signature.

The Dan Marino of the NHL. greatest player on the losing team.

Way too cynical and harsh on PLD. Of course, I understand the rationale but let's see if his talents finally prevail. As my old physics teacher used to say "We will see what we will see."

Imagine telling someone in 2014 that the last pick of the draft would be way better than the fifth pick

RIP Nic Kerdiles

U didnt watch janmark in playoffs u say whitout actually spray it 😂

ALL CAPS

That Skinner signing has the potential to be huge. He could easily score 40 goals if he plays with Leon or Connor.

Any Redwings pick made by Ken Holland should be rated as a bust, except maybe Larkin.

Ryan Bjugstad?

Also, I feel like Fabbri is better than he gets credit for. His low numbers on Detroit are because of deployment as well as not having a lot of touches in the O-zone. At one point last year, Fabbri had the 3rd highest shooting % in the league. He just needs more opportunities to shoot the puck. I hope he gets that opportunity on the Ducks this year because I'm definitely gonna miss him on the Wings

Great goal by Petry here 2:52

As a Panther fan, I'd tell you that Bennett has been indispensable. He has been a disappointment on the offensive side during the regular season, no doubt. Can't argue that Bennett was a bust for Calgary but his numbers went up in the postseason on Calgary as well as with the Panthers. I can't see the Panthers having the success that they've had without him (President's Cup and two Finals). He has been a top 6 forward on this team and his hard hitting defense has been critical. Bottom line is that he has performed like a top 4 player in the postseason and has been Hall of Fame good as a two way player when it mattered most.

looking back, comparing Skinner to Marchand is wild. Skinner can be a pest but hes nothing like Marchand

These sound clips are fcking annoying as hell dude. So repetitive and the sound of kids cheering makes me cringe

Listen doing this based on trade value is wild i didnt even know that was a thing we could do but imma say this we can all have our opinions on the prospects in every draft and say our top 30 and mock drafts but we dont know nhl scouts watch these guys all year its there job and even they get it wrong so we dont really know as fans unless it's a McDavid or a bedard and even a echiel but other then that we dont know maybe senecka becomes a star and demidov is a bust like we dont know good video tho entertaining

devils being in chosen is not true in the slightest lol. L opinions

As a habs fan I am so happy for Demigod and some even think he couldve went 1st overall and I am so happy with what Kent Hughes did to this team, I hope we will get out of the dark age soin, and its looking great!

The Panthers at NHL 2014 Draft: "We have no. 1 pick, let's take Ekblad, and in years let's trade for the rest of the top talent in this draft."

Rob Thomas is elite, buch is elite, and binny is more than elite. Binnington has been the only thing holding the team together. The fact they got even close to playoffs this year was 99% because of him😂 you really can’t stand him being that good eh?

“Chich-Chrin” 🤦🏽

Biased Flyers fan here - I don’t hate the Luchanko pick. I’m really excited to see how he develops moving forward. I know you shouldn’t draft for need at the top of a draft but we NEED centers and Jett has the tools to become a crazy fast, play making 2C.

Ron Francis said Seattle would have picked a D-man, but both their choices were gone by 8. The only two D picked at that point were Levshunov and Yakemchuk. There’s obviously a big disconnect between the amateur “scouting” community and real NHL management.

My Senators simply do not know what draft value is or how to work the board. Cheers from Ottawa 🍁

I think Ottawa reaches sometimes because it's Ottawa and no one wants to live there. Personally, I think they shoulda took the best d-man in the draft, Zeev Buium, but would he want to stay there? would he be so demoralized by the lack of freedom in Canada and not live up to his potential? Yakemchuck seems like he's gonna be a solid player, so I'm ok with the pick.

I do agree with you on trading back: I don't think Parascak was high enough on teams' lists that trying to trade with teams who had picks #20-25 would've been a bad idea (and TBF: GMBM might have been trying to do that very thing behind the scenes...) I also wouldn't have been mad if the Caps had sent #17 to Winnipeg for McGroarty (I know they would've had to send prospects and/or other picks too, but still: A fan can daydream)

The Habs would have taken Senneke at 5 if Demidov and Lindstrom were gone. Not a big reach at all at 3

Your opinion to dislike the Name: Swarm, tells me that you are just an emotional voter. You need to understand what swarm really means and how a loge can become a highlight for the merchandising market. Yeti and Blizard and whatever is a joke in case to name a serious hockey contender

LMAO this is such a fucking stupid fucking take from a stupid fucking person.

These are all bad, how about the Polygamists?

Don Sweeney is a total loser of a gm, constantly reaching and making horrible trades and signings.

Make it make sense how a kid that scores 105p in the WHL... (more than Iginla that went in the top 10 and Basha who you literally said was a "mid 20" round pick) is a "reach" at 17oa. Both those players scored roughly 20+ points less that Parascak. His PNHLe rating is 5th in the draft? INSANE how little respect people have for this kid. "reach" is insane to me. i saw him at 15-20.
