NHL Rumors: The Newest on Some Remaining Restricted Free Brokers
Marty Biron: Winnipeg Jets, Cole Perfetti. Look, he’s obtained to get his contract all found out, and he’s obtained to start out the season very well, however I’m going with 23 targets with Perfetti. He jumped from eight to 19 from two years in the past to final 12 months. That’s a giant leap, however Perfetti was all the time extra of a playmaker going again to his junior days, and I feel that we’re going to see him have greater than 19 assists this 12 months, however he’s not going to leap at 25-30 targets, proper? He’s not going to have that massive of a leap subsequent 12 months. So going from 19 to 23 I feel, is a traditional leap for Perfetti. So the over/below is about at 23.
Calgary. I’m going with Andrei Kuzmenko. He scored 22 targets final 12 months, and 14 of these had been when he obtained to the Calgary Flames. So he did rating 39 two years in the past with the Vancouver Canucks. Can he get to 35 plus probably? Sure, however I nonetheless assume that 32, for me, is the candy spot for the over-under for Kuzmenko.
Jeff Skinner with the Edmonton Oilers. That is going to be fascinating as a result of Jeff Skinner can play with top-end gamers. He scored 40 targets whereas taking part in with Jack Eichel. He scored 30 or extra thrice within the final six years. So I’m going to set the over-under at 30 targets for Jeff Skinner, both taking part in with McDavid or Leon Draisaitl. Skinner says he loves rubbish targets, proper? Properly, Hyman obtained a ton of these final 12 months, so I’m going to say Skinner goes to get 30. Over/below at 30.
Why Didn’t the Edmonton Oilers Match the Supply Sheets and What Challenges are Forward?
Jake DeBrusk with the Vancouver Canucks. DeBrusk could be very constant while you take a look at the manufacturing of the final 5 full seasons, 27, 19, 25, 27, and 19. So I’m going, like, in the course of all of that, and I’m saying 25 targets for Jake DeBrusk with the Vancouver Canucks. That’s the place I’m going to set the over-under for DeBrusk. I’m actually excited to see him out west in Vancouver.”
Davis: “Yeah, we’ve obtained so many nice storylines right here, north of the border, to observe. I can’t wait to see the way it all performs out. This was enjoyable. Thanks, Marty.”
