Tyler Johnson to CHI

and it will be another disappointment for the Isles it looks like with the big fish off the board. I guess we can still be happy with a Saad or Hoffman signing to take Eberles spot but not really seeing the options for Leddy's spot.

and Strome gets replaced by Eichel,and Goodrow can play C too. Chytil has to be one of the worst face off guys in the league, Goodrow excels at face offs. it all starts with the face off. So often you analyze a goal against and it begins with a face off loss. Or you see an ineffective power play and it starts with a face off loss killing valuable time.

Been consistent in saying that of forwards to be moved I'd prefer it to be Chytil, for the reason you mention as well as his inconsistency, coming up short in finishing. He has nice burst, a bit of Barzal in him, to get around d-men but that's when the comp implodes. I also don't see him, yet, as a good, two-way guy.

Just say no to Eichel.

as most assumed, but came down to the wire.

Awesome, thanks, I'll check it out.

I find Drury's off-season, to this point, head scratching. Who's whispers in his ear were louder, Slats'(mega stupid, expensive move) or GG's? It's like NYR moves were Vegas expansion draft fodder. I confess to wanting something to happen with the forwards--it did, with Buch sent to STL for nada barf--but that's it? No Danault, no Getzlaf, nothing to make us stoked, only a move to make us gag, and I'm good w/no Eichel unless it's really on the cheap if BUF has indeed painted itself in corner--but to this point, it's really a head scratcher.

camp, and Montreal will "reassess" as the year goes on. Who knows if that's just lip service, with them having every intention of determining he's ready in time for training camp, or if they've got specific steps he needs to accomplish which will be taken seriously. This reads to me like they were really caught off guard by the reaction to the pick, though I'm surprised any team would be surprised, so again, maybe it's all theater. At any rate, they do seem to want to be able to demonstrate he realizes the severity of what he's done and isn't that person anymore.
