September 16, 20159 yr comment_153059 I think Armia competes for the final spot on the 4th line. The good thing about him is he has upside so if he makes the team, he's potentially able to move up or slot in somewhere else due to injury. I'd bet he starts on the Moose though. I think they see him as being a future mid 6. He has to start reaching that potential soon though.
September 16, 20159 yr comment_153068 TUP, Where do you see Armia starting? Hali was signed for the Moose, also an emergency call up guy. Fraser = Moose. No way Fraser plays any serious time with the big team. If Thorbs, Peluso and Hali are hurt, they MIGHT call up Fraser but I doubt it. Ladd - Little - Wheeler Perreault - Scheifele - Stafford Burmi - Lowry - Ehlers Thorburn - Copp - Armia Fraser had 5 goals in 36 games. Thats pretty good for a possible 4th liner.

Thing is if its the last spot, it's Halischuk's because I believe he's on a one-way deal. Fraser and Armia are on two-way deals. And they like Halischuk so he'll get the benefit of the doubt. If he doesnt play, they'd probably rather pay him to be the 13th forward than waive him to the Moose and risk losing him. I think Fraser was signed for depth on the Moose. Even without Fraser, they dont mind Cormier as am emergency call up. Knowing they'd have to have a couple of scratches per game, I think they'd decided its Peluso and Halis...and I think Halis starts on the 4th line in Game One (with the caveat they might give Armia or Petan that spot on a trial basis to start).
September 16, 20159 yr comment_153093 Hali is on a one year, two way deal that pays 750k. If I remember right, around 270k with the Moose which is a lot. I think he plays most of is games with the Mosse and is an emergency safety valve. Peluso plays when Maurice thinks he needs him in the lineup for the tougher games. I can't see Fraser playing 10 games to be honest, unless a LOT of injuries hit us.
September 16, 20159 yr comment_153094 Halischuk is on a two-way deal. Ahhhh well there ya go. He and Armia would be in for that last spot I think. My guess: Halischuk gets it. With Armia/Petan the first call ups though I dont think the Jets want Petan playing 4th line with the Jets if he can play 1st line with the Moose.
September 16, 20159 yr comment_153099 It'd be nice to see all of Armia Petan and Ehlers competing for spots in the lineup and giving Maurice no other choice to play them. If Armia, Ehlers, Petan, Connor, Harkins, Morrissey, Copp, De Leo, Lemieux, Helle, Comrie, Phillips et al pan out, it will be a contender for a long time.

September 16, 20159 yr comment_153200 @WiebeSunSports: Here are the terms for former #NHLJets F Jiri Tlusty. one-year, one-way deal for $800,000. Made $2.95 mil last year https://t.co/GSAR6jERDG That's quite a pay cut. I see why he took so long but I guess the offers just weren't tnere. Great deal for Devils.

For the first quarter of the season Now what about Stempy?
September 16, 20159 yr comment_153218 Still think Matt Fraser is Chevy's annual sleeper pick... wouldn't be surprised if he ends up on third line if Ehlers goes to Europe
September 16, 20159 yr comment_153240 wow, Fraser on the 3rd line... like I said, shocked if he plays 10 games. sleeper is going to be Burmi making everyone forget about Fro... I didn't want to see Tlusty back. Stemp I would like to sign if the youngsters don't impress by the end of TC but highly unlikely. Struggle with their mistakes this year and it will pay off in the long run. I hope 3 rookie forwards make it.
September 17, 20159 yr comment_153259 According to article I read, Stempy has been asked to the Devils training camp. So we can write him off as well. Too bad. 6g in 18games for us last year.
September 17, 20159 yr comment_153285 13. Very interesting word got out that Boston’s three first-rounders —Jakub Zboril, Jake DeBrusk and Zach Senyshyn — failed their conditioning tests. As a former NHL strength coach once said, “Failed tests only get out when the organization wants them to get out.” - Friedman

September 19, 20159 yr comment_153908 Oilers sign d man Oscar Klefbolm to a 7 year deal. AAV of 4 million and change
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154057 Oilers made a lot of moves this off-season and im not sure there was a bad one.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154108 Klefbom is gonna be a good one. That's a really good AAV for 7 years...
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154110 Probably Over paid Sekera. But... not a bad off season for Edmonton at all.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_154112 Pretty big term for a guy who is largely unproven but it could end up being a bargain by the end of the deal I suppose.
September 23, 20159 yr comment_155108 The Avalanche announced on Tuesday that defenseman Erik Johnson has signed a seven-year contract extension that will take him through the 2022-23 season. The deal reportedly is worth $42 million for a salary cap hit of $6 million. Johnson, 27, was under contract through this season with a cap hit of $3.75 million. He could have been an unrestricted free agent after the season. ***how does this influence Buff
