Poll: Which Team Will Acquire Brett Pesce?

at CDT | by 52 Comments

Now that the trade market for defensemen has been set after the blockbuster trade landing defending Norris Trophy winner, Erik Karlsson, with the Pittsburgh Penguins, one of the most oft-rumored names on the market headed into next season is Brett Pesce of the Carolina Hurricanes. Already carrying a rather deep defensive core, the Hurricanes added to it even more, bringing in Dmitry Orlov, Anthony DeAngelo, and Caleb Jones via free agency this summer.

For the 2023-24 NHL season, Pesce will be starting his ninth in Carolina, becoming one of the mainstays on their blue line during the team’s rise to stardom in recent years. However, with players such as Teuvo Teravainen, Martin Necas, and more than half their defensemen needing contracts beyond this season, the Hurricanes dollar may be better spent somewhere else.

In June, Cory Lavalette of The Athletic theorized that Pesce’s next contract would be in the eight-year, $52MM ($6.5MM) range, which seems fair factoring in comparable players and Pesce’s age. This is not a massive increase on Pesce’s current $4.025MM AAV, but with an extension already kicking in for Sebastian Aho next summer, Carolina will need all the wiggle room they can to keep their other talent.

In analyzing the market for Pesce, it would be wise to start with the two teams that reportedly missed out on Karlsson. Both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Seattle Kraken had an interest in Karlsson, and both could use some longer-term answers to the right side of their blue lines. Toronto currently has John Klingberg and T.J. Brodie at the top of their hierarchy on the right side and should consider Pesce to be an improvement to both of those players. Similarly, in Seattle, Pesce would be a solid long-term answer on the right side once Justin Schultz’s contract comes to an end next summer.

Even if it is not in the Hurricanes’ best interest to hold onto Pesce long-term, it seems to be the most appropriate option to hold onto him for the entirety of next season, given the team’s popularity as a Stanley Cup favorite. Much like how the New Jersey Devils handled the pending unrestricted free agency of Damon Severson, the team may be better spent employing Pesce for the upcoming season and recouping some value for him via a sign-and-trade before July 1, 2024.

Snapshots: Schneider, Bally Sports, Stienburg

at CDT | by Leave a Comment

Frank Seravalli of the Daily Faceoff is reporting that the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) and Mathieu Schneider are parting ways after 12 years. Since his retirement after the 2009-10 NHL season, Schneider originally started as a Special Assistant in the NHLPA and had been working as the direct Special Assistant to the now-former head of the NHLPA, Don Fehr.

Seravalli also pointed out that the dismissal had been pushed by the new Executive Director of the NHLPA, Marty Walsh. Some of the most significant projects in the league that Schneider had been directly involved in, were changes to the ’head-shot’ and boarding rules across the NHL, working directly with the league’s Senior Vice President at the time, Brendan Shanahan.

Even after his dismissal, it shouldn’t be difficult for Schneider to find employment elsewhere, either with an individual team, or the league itself. A veteran of 21 years in the NHL spanning from 1987-2010, Schneider spent time with Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs, Los Angeles Kings, New York Islanders, and New York Rangers, as well as four other teams for short spells.

Other snapshots:

  • In an ongoing legal battle with Diamond Sports Group, the parent company to Bally Sports, the NHL is reportedly seeking emergency relief funds if negotiations are not settled quickly. Currently, 12 organizations have their media rights held by Bally Sports, and with a Texas judge extending DSG’s reorganization deadline to September 30th, the NHL is seeking a contract break well before that date. On March 14, 2023, DSG filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, holding responsibility for a reported $9B in debt, with the inability to pay.
  • Seeing his exclusive draft rights expire only 48 hours ago, Peter Baugh of The Athletic is reporting that center Matt Stienburg and the Colorado Avalanche organization are still in contact about a possible contract. Stienburg was the team’s 63rd overall pick from the 2019 NHL Draft and had spent the last four seasons playing for the Cornell University of the NCAA, earning a four-game tryout with the Colorado Eagles at the conclusion of last year’s AHL season.

Jonathan Toews Will Not Play In 2023-24

at CDT | by 6 Comments

Former Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews has announced he won’t play during the 2023-24 NHL season but is not ruling out a return to NHL action later. Toews made a statement confirming the news on his Instagram account Thursday afternoon.

Toews, 35, is currently an unrestricted free agent. Chicago confirmed they wouldn’t be re-signing the three-time Stanley Cup champion before their last game of the 2022-23 campaign.

“My focus is to give myself the time and space to fully heal and enjoy life to the fullest once again,” Toews said. “Along the way, I have met several people who have struggled with health issues pertaining to long COVID, chronic immune response syndrome, and other similar cases that are quite complex. I now recognize the importance of one day sharing the details of my health journey with you all.”

Toews was diagnosed with chronic immune response syndrome prior to the shortened 2020-21 campaign. He missed all 56 games that season. He made a return to the Blackhawks in 2021-22 but was added to the league’s COVID protocol list just weeks into the season. While he didn’t miss significant time, he has since developed symptoms of long COVID, which, in combination with his CIRS, contributed to him playing 53 out of 82 games in 2022-23.

This move is far from unexpected – in fact, it’s more surprising Toews isn’t announcing his retirement outright. Notably, Toews’ agency reportedly left his name off the list of pending free agents when teams inquired.

On the ice, Toews had averaged under 18 minutes per game over the last two seasons for the first time in his career. Since returning from his season-long absence in 2021, he’s posted 27 goals, 41 assists, 68 points, and a -45 rating in 124 games played. He still carried immense value as a faceoff specialist, however, winning draws at a 60.7% rate.

The 2013 Selke Trophy winner will likely face long odds to get back to playing shape after missing two out of four seasons heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

2009 NHL Draft Take Two: Fifth Overall Pick

at CDT | by 2 Comments

Hindsight is an amazing thing, and allows us to look back and wonder “what could have been.”  Though perfection is attempted, scouting and draft selection is far from an exact science and sometimes, it doesn’t work out the way teams – or players – intended.  For every Patrick Kane, there is a Patrik Stefan.

We’re looking back at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and asking how it would shake out knowing what we do now.  Will the first round remain the same, or will some late-round picks jump up to the top of the board?

The results of our redraft so far are as follows, with their original draft position in parentheses:

1st Overall: Victor Hedman, New York Islanders (2)
2nd Overall: John Tavares, Tampa Bay Lightning (1)
3rd Overall: Ryan O’Reilly, Colorado Avalanche (33)
4th Overall: Matt Duchene, Atlanta Thrashers (3)

Duchene doesn’t fall more than one spot past his original selection, winning the PHR reader poll by the slimmest margin thus far with only 29% of the total votes. Still, it’s hard to argue with the selection – Duchene remains a top-six threat and, despite his overall inconsistency, has scored upwards of 30 goals and 70 points on multiple occasions. In terms of career totals, he’s played in 123 more games than Evander Kane, Atlanta’s original pick at fourth overall, scored 14 more goals, and added a whopping 157 more assists.

The Los Angeles Kings are now on the clock at fifth overall in our 2009 redraft series. Things are looking up for the team after drafting names like Drew Doughty, Anze Kopitar, Dustin Brown and Wayne Simmonds in recent years, but they’ve now missed the playoffs for six straight years and are feeling the pressure to exit their rebuild in the post-Luc Robitaille era.

With their third-straight top-five pick, they selected center Brayden Schenn from the WHL’s Brandon Wheat Kings. The burgeoning two-way talent had solid name recognition, and the Kings had passed on his older brother, defenseman Luke Schenn, the year prior. Luke went fifth overall to the Toronto Maple Leafs after the Kings selected Thomas Hickey with the fourth overall pick.

While Schenn developed into an established top-six force in the NHL with a fruitful career, it wasn’t with the team that drafted him. He played just nine games with the Kings in the following two seasons after the draft before they traded him (along with Simmonds) to the Philadelphia Flyers in a package for center Mike Richards in 2011. With the Flyers, it didn’t take Schenn terribly long to become a strong middle-six center, eventually earning more chances higher in the lineup once moved to the wing. He tallied 20-plus goals three times in a Philadelphia jersey and had some solid possession metrics, although he never received any Selke Trophy consideration.

His career truly took off in 2017 after another trade, this time to the St. Louis Blues. He immediately posted the best season of his career, scoring a career-high 28 goals and 70 points in 2017-18 and playing nearly 20 minutes per game. He took a small step back in 2018-19, but you won’t hear any Blues fans complaining about that – he would go on to record 12 points in 26 playoff games as the Blues won the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history.

Set to turn 32 in a few days, Schenn is actually posting the most consistently high offensive totals of his career, combining for 123 points in 144 games over the past two seasons. His two-way game is starting to decline, but nonetheless, he’s given his two longtime NHL homes some solid hockey over the past decade-plus.

That being said, is Schenn the best player left on the board, or are there other options that would have better served the Kings? Make your voice heard in the poll below:

East Notes: Trade Targets, Amirov Jersey Retirement, Nylander

at CDT | by 6 Comments

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander and Winnipeg Jets players Connor Hellebuyck and Mark Scheifele land atop the latest Trade Targets list from The Athletic, written by Shayna Goldman. All pending unrestricted free agents, Nylander finds himself first on the list after recording a career-high 40 goals and 87 points in 82 games last season. As Goldman notes, it’s highly unlikely a potential Nylander extension becomes top of mind for Toronto GM Brad Treliving until an extension for teammate Auston Matthews is signed, sealed and delivered.

Regarding Hellebuyck, his trade value has decreased in recent months, with teams shying away from doling out large sums of cash to bonafide starting netminders, instead looking for value options in the crease to guide them deep in the playoffs. Goldman posits, however, that it’s a method that can work only for a select few – namely Colorado and Vegas, as it has the past two seasons, given the strengths of their defense corps. While teams should be rightfully wary about handing out too much term to Hellebuyck on an extension, given he’s already 31 years old, acquiring a clear-cut elite starter is still necessary for some teams to reach championship contention. Other names on the list included Anaheim Ducks netminder John Gibson, Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce, Calgary Flames players Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm, and Arizona Coyotes forwards Nick Schmaltz and Jason Zucker.

  • In a well-deserved and meaningful gesture, KHL club Salavat Yulaev Ufa will be retiring Rodion Amirov’s number 27 after the young forward passed away from a years-long battle with a brain tumor on Tuesday, according to The Hockey News’ David Alter. The 21-year-old Maple Leafs prospect had suited up in 70 games for his hometown team before he had to stop his playing career in 2021 to undergo cancer treatment. Reports indicate Salavat’s captain, 625-game KHL veteran Grigori Panin, initiated the decision.
  • Alexander Nylander is a candidate to slide into the Pittsburgh Penguins’ top six to begin the season, says The Athletic’s Rob Rossi. The 2016 eighth-overall pick could get a look at either Sidney Crosby’s or Evgeni Malkin’s left wing with Jake Guentzel sidelined for the first few games of 2023-24 after undergoing ankle surgery earlier this month. Now on his third NHL organization, the 25-year-old Nylander will look to capture a full-time spot in the NHL for the first time since he played 65 games with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2019-20.

Minor Transactions: 08/17/23

at CDT | by Leave a Comment

The 2023-24 regular season is quickly approaching – if you’re a European team, that is. The KHL’s season commences on September 1, with other notable leagues, such as the SHL and the Liiga, beginning soon after. With that in mind, we’re keeping tabs on notable minor deals coming across the wire from non-NHL leagues:

  • The KHL’s SKA St. Petersburg signed defenseman Andrey Pedan to a two-year contract extension today, per an Instagram announcement from the club. Pedan, 30, was a 2011 third-round draft pick of the New York Islanders but was dealt to the Vancouver Canucks before eventually making his NHL debut in 2015-16. He played 13 games in the NHL that year, going without a point and registering a -3 rating. He hasn’t gotten another NHL shot since then, and he left the North American minor pro ranks for Russia in 2018 after a quick stint in the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. Pedan was SKA’s best shutdown defender last season, leading the team with a +32 rating and had five goals and 20 points in 64 games. He remains with a team loaded with former and future NHL talent, such as 2024 prospective top-five pick forward Ivan Demidov, Philadelphia Flyers forward prospect Matvei Michkov, Carolina Hurricanes defense prospect Alexander Nikishin, and former Carolina Hurricanes winger Valentin Zykov.
  • 23-year-old forward Jake Wise has signed a one-year deal to remain with the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers in 2023-24, per a team announcement. Wise was a 2018 third-round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks, but they let his exclusive signing rights lapse earlier this week by not signing him to an entry-level contract. Wise wrapped up his collegiate career with 12 goals, 27 assists and 39 points in 40 games for Ohio State last season before adding a goal and two assists to end the season with Charlotte in one regular-season and one playoff game. He’ll compete among the Florida Panthers’ prospects slated for minor-league action and looks to earn an entry-level deal with a strong rookie campaign.
  • Late yesterday, the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins re-signed forward Samuel Houde to a one-year contract for next year, according to a team release. In doing so, he remains with the only professional organization he’s ever known since turning pro in 2021. Formerly a Montreal Canadiens prospect after they selected him in the fifth round of the 2018 NHL Draft, the team opted not to sign him to an entry-level contract, and he signed in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton after completing five years of service with the QMJHL’s Chicoutimi Saguenéens. Now 23 years old, Houde avoided ECHL assignment last season and will look to do so again. In 84 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton thus far, Houde has 13 goals and 13 assists for 26 points.
  • Former Boston Bruins and Minnesota Wild goaltender Niklas Svedberg signed a one-year contract with HC Bolzano of the ICEHL today, per a team release. Svedberg, an undrafted free agent signing out of Europe by the Boston Bruins in 2012, immediately burst onto the scene in the minors with AHL Providence, recording a .925 save percentage in 48 games and taking home AHL Rookie of the Year and Goaltender of the Year honors. Things never quite panned out in the NHL for Svedberg, though, as he made just 19 appearances in Boston over the following two seasons before returning to Europe in the summer of 2015. An attempted NHL comeback in 2017-18 didn’t work out, either, as he was relegated to third-string duties for the Minnesota Wild and again spent the season in a starting role in the AHL. Now 33, the Swede is in the twilight of his career and is beginning to struggle with injuries and inconsistency. He suited up in just 12 games for the DEL’s Fischtown Penguins last season, recording a 4-8-0 record and a .904 save percentage.
  • The AHL’s Springfield Thunderbirds took a large step toward filling out their depth for next season, bringing back forwards Mitchell Hoelscher, Steven Jandric and defenseman Austin Osmanski on one-year deals, per a team post on X. Hoelscher, 23, was a 2018 sixth-round pick of the New Jersey Devils but never signed his entry-level contract and his exclusive signing rights have since expired. He played in a career-high 57 AHL games for the Thunderbirds last season, scoring nine goals and adding seven assists for 16 points. Jandric, 25, will slot in on the wing and recorded eight points in 31 games with Springfield in 2022-23, his first full pro campaign after finishing his collegiate career at Merrimack. Osmanski, a 2016 draft selection of the Buffalo Sabres, returns to Springfield for his third season in the organization. He’s compiled a goal and six points in 34 appearance there thus far.

Aaron Ekblad, Brandon Montour “On Time” In Shoulder Surgery Recoveries

at CDT | by Leave a Comment

The Florida Panthers’ pair of star defensemen, Aaron Ekblad and Brandon Montour, are both on track in their respective recoveries from offseason shoulder surgeries, general manager Bill Zito relayed this week on the Sirius XM NHL Power Play radio spot. Both players sustained the injuries in Florida’s run to the 2023 Stanley Cup Final and were given recovery times from June surgeries that placed them ready for returns around the start of the regular season.

Zito believes both players are one to two months away from returning. That means opening night on October 12 is possible, but not a guarantee, for both. The information explains why the Panthers didn’t dip too much (if at all) into the potential long-term injured reserve relief provided by Ekblad and Montour this offseason, as one or both of them are likely to return early enough into the season that they wouldn’t be eligible for LTIR placement.

While Florida made a multitude of adds on defense this summer, they were all of the stopgap nature to help them get by until their number one and number two defenders returned to the lineup. If they’re not available when the Panthers open their season on the road in Minnesota, they’ll be looking at a top pairing of a mix of Gustav Forsling, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Josh Mahura, or Dmitry Kulikov – a far cry from what you’d expect from a defending conference champion.

When they return to the lineup, Ekblad and Montour will undoubtedly fill out the right-shot positions on both the team’s first and second pairings. Both players averaged over 23 minutes per game last season, although Montour pulled ahead in ice time slightly with a career-high average of 24:08 per game in the regular season. In his increased role, Montour had a rather earth-shattering breakout season at the age of 28. Recording 16 goals, 57 assists and 73 points in 80 games, Montour finished 12th in Norris Trophy voting last season. It was his first instance of receiving any consideration for the league’s Defenseman of the Year award.

Montour especially will hope to get off to a smooth start next season and hit the ground running. He’s a pending unrestricted free agent and needs to prove he’s worth a sharp increase on his current $3.5MM cap hit. Given his age, this is his one chance to lock in a lucrative long-term deal.

Ekblad, meanwhile, is locked in for two more seasons at a $7.5MM cap hit. He’ll look to return to his 2021-22 form when he recorded a +38 rating, 15 goals, 42 assists and 57 points in 61 games en route to finish sixth in Norris voting (and capturing the franchise’s first President’s Trophy).

Edmonton Oilers Sign Brandon Sutter To PTO

at CDT | by 4 Comments

August 16: The Oilers have officially signed Sutter to a PTO, according to CapFriendly.

August 8: After missing the entirety of the last two NHL seasons, Sean O’Leary of The Score reports that the Edmonton Oilers have agreed to a professional tryout agreement with forward Brandon Sutter. An oft-injured player during his time with the Vancouver Canucks, Sutter has missed the last two seasons dealing with Long Covid.

With little cap space left to maneuver with, and the impending contract of restricted free agent Evan Bouchard, most pundits knew the Oilers were heading in this direction leading up to training camp. It is an interesting choice, as regardless of missing the last two seasons, Sutter had not played a full NHL season since 2016-17 with the Canucks, but will likely not be the last PTO the Oilers hand out this offseason.

When healthy, Sutter had historically been one of the better defensive centers in the game of hockey. Notably blocking a healthy amount of shots throughout his career, Sutter was also a mainstay on the Canucks penalty kill throughout much of his time with the organization.

If he does make Edmonton’s roster out of camp, it would be hard to imagine him as anything other than an extra forward on the team. The organization already has plenty of options down the middle in the bottom six, but Sutter’s experience and defensive tactics may sparingly earn him some minutes in a fourth-line role.

Long are the days when Sutter seemed like a regular 30-point bottom-six center option for most teams, but if the 34-year-old is still ready to play, there is a very low risk for the Oilers in this move.
