BLACKHAWKS ACQUIRE KUCHEROV!

BLACKHAWKS ACQUIRE KUCHEROV!

On Friday a Nikita Kucherov-to-Chicago trade was completed as the Minnesota North Stars have begun an open rebuild, while Chicago is clearly gearing up for another Cup run.

In Kucherov the Blackhawks land the reigning league MVP who they likely plan to use on their top line with Mika Zibanejad and Mitch Marner in what is a fierce trio on paper. The move likely spells the end of the line for either William Karlsson, Andrew Mangiapane, Jason Zucker or all of the above, depending on the return.

Kucherov signed a No Movement Clause with the North Stars, however Chicago recently purchased the ability to temporarily remove an NMC at Auction and was able to lift the clause just long enough to bring Nikita to the Windy City. "No complaints from Nikita!" was Kucherov's response on The Wraezor's Edge podcast once the deal was confirmed.

For the North Stars, their recent losing skid and financial peril has likely accelerated the need to move on from Kucherov while he still has value. His production has certainly tapered off from last year's MVP run, but the same is true for the entire Minnesota roster so far this season.

The haul of a reasonable roster player, two 1sts and a 3rd for Kucherov likely increases the value of the Drake Bathersons, Alex Debrincats and Travis Konecnys who have all been made available in trade discusssions this season.

It'll be interesting to see where things shake out from here!

...SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE

...SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE

Vegas GM Pete took to the airwaves on Friday afternoon to announce that "anyone can move" following a team meeting where a number of key players voiced their frustration over all the losing.

One way to start that involved a rebranding of sorts for the Golden Knights following a logo change the team is going to use for the rest of the season in hopes that too will spark a change.

"Big Money" Robby Fabbri spoke with the media following the logo reveal saying that he fully supports GM Pete's decision to do "whatever it takes" to right the ship.

"Look, there's nothing 'golden' about our nights recently. It's tough to stay positive when you're losing. I know my contract probably means I bare some responsibility and also means I probably don't move in all this. A couple of guys have No Moves so they'll be here at the end of this too, but we need something to change and I guess the logo's a good start."

The first "domino" is the acquisition of Ondrej Palat, Darnell Nurse and Gabriel Carlsson and cash from the Maple Leafs for a combo including Yegor Sharangovich. According to Kyper's sources, Vegas expects a lot of calls on Nick Suzuki, Alexandre Texier and Jesper Bratt but it'd take a "haul" to move the needle on them. More likely, Vegas may look to move off of Anthony Cirelli with Colorado's Danton Heinen and Pavel Zacha being part of the potential return.

ODW: Opening. Day. Waivers.

Soon every 25+ year old player who will start the year in the MSHL, or who teams hope to be eligible for post-Deadline MSHL action will be made available to the entire league for $500k.

In reverse order of last year's end of regular season standings, teams may select a player placed on ODW, or if no one is worthy, they can trade or pass on their claim.

Once claimed from ODW, a player is placed on their new team's PRO ROSTER. The team losing the player to ODW has first right to re-claim them if they are waived in the same season at no Cost.

The ODW process takes place on Discord and is expected to commence on Tuesday.

Thoughts from the Friedge

Thoughts from the Friedge


Yes, I took some time away during the off-season but now I'm back with a "we are so so close to being able to have X" edition of Thoughts from the Friedge!

On the SHOWCASE..

Based on the feedback I've heard from various GMs who participated in the inaugural Free Agent Showcase, the talk is that it's an interesting new tournament that benefited nearly everyone involved. Sure, it's not for everyone, and that's fine.

I'm told that after learning some of the positives and negatives, the Commissioner's office is working on a revised version for the NSHL24 off-season. "It'll be fine tuned based on what we learned in 1.0 and there is expected to be more opportunity to be cut-throat."

Congratulations by the way to the winners: Corey (NYR), Josh (CBJ) and Nick (LAK) who led the LUMBERJACKS to glory.

Sounds delicious. Sign me up.

On FREE AGENCY..

Andrei Kuzmenko at a little over $15M for 1 year, Brandon Saad at $10.5M for 3 years and Charlie Coyle at $10M for 3 years. Those are the three biggest UFA deals signed (so far) this off-season and given the crop remaining unsigned will be right through opening day.

I'd say GMs have learned a lot about unrestricted free agency and although the Coyle and Saad contracts could come back to haunt, they're certainly not "franchise breakers". Kuzmenko's comes with RFA rights at season's end meaning it's a one year burden leading to bigger things for the Stanley Cup runners-up (yes, the very same team who was part of winning that 1st SHOWCASE trophy.).

The free market and learning from lessons of the past seem to have worked to temper massive single-season contract values. The more painful contracts come further down the food chain where GMs have gone all out to secure bottom six players and given out cash up front to do so. The gameplan may well pay off, but we won't know that for some time.

Moving on to restricted free agency which is the real pressure cooker.

The league has moved heaven and earth over the years to make Offer-Sheet "season" competitive but fair. Teams have significant leverage at their disposal with elements like the Bridge Contract when a player's ELC expires, as well as the opportunity to submit an offer to a player just like the opposition. A GM could choose salary + term over SBes and no movement clauses. The cards are in the hands of the rights holders.

With that in mind, GMs are getting better and wiser on how to lay down an "unfavourable" offer-sheet that a rights holder might not enjoy matching. Such is the nature of the beast: do your due diligence or meet your maker.

Thus far, 4 times teams have accepted compensation rather than matching, while 16 times GMs have elected to match. Without naming names, at least a couple of these decisions could've been avoided altogether. Due diligence. Meet your maker.

On FREE AGENCY CHANGES..

But Friedge, everything is going so well, why is the league changing the format for the next off-season!?

One of the two big changes to the RFA Market next year has been implemented to speed up the process by eliminating waves that were deemed too similar in terms of the offers-over value, as well as compensation. Given the "hurry up and move along" vibe every off-season, that's a process thing that everyone should favour.

The other major change is to attach the "offers over" values to League Average Salaries by position rather than grouped together to generic values. Next year, a Wave 1 forward will have a different value than a Wave 1 goalie. Currently? They're treated all the same.

Will it make a big difference? Maybe. Maybe not. At the end of the day it is yet another upgrade intended to benefit the league as a whole.

On 'OTHER' CHANGES..

Many of the 'other' changes are wording changes or additions to existing rules to -again- improve or clarify existing policy.

A slight change was made to when Auction payouts are deposited which will 1) save the league a lot of time between auctions and 2) ensure auction bidders are not having their own money used against them in a future auction by a team otherwise incapable of supporting themselves.

I take this change to mean that if you want a share of the money through the profit sharing mechanism Auctions offers, you're still eligible and will get that money at end-of-year payout. If you just want to pile up someone else's money to bid because you couldn't otherwise afford it, game's over.

A couple of the changes are related to the ongoing misunderstanding of appropriate conduct. When asked the Commissioner did not hold back "the community experience cannot be so negatively impacted by an entitled few. The playing dumb, ranting, finger pointing, gaslighting bits are direct insults to my efforts (which are still offered free of charge, btw). Don't like it? You have options, but they won't continue to drag everyone else into the gutter."

In other news, the GM waiting list has grown substantially since the last round of expansion.

..with that: always remember if you're hungry for more from the NSHL, open the Friedge!

KAPRIZOV IS A GAME CHANGER!

KAPRIZOV IS A GAME CHANGER!

Another off-season, another controversial Kirill Kaprizov move as this time the Russian sniper received an offer-sheet from the Seattle Kraken which his rights holders -the Chicago Blackhawks- elected not to match and instead opted for compensation.

"We see what others have seen in Kirill, he's an absolute game changer and we think he'll make a world of difference for what we're putting together in Seattle this year. Adding Kap with the earlier addition of Thomas Chabot from Toronto we hope to mirror their success from last season. We're also really happy with Chicago's prompt and professional response in handling the Offer-Sheet really well. We've heard horror stories involving others." Seattle GM Ray said on his daily podcast 'F-ingOff w FNG'.

Thus far, all Offer-Sheets have been matched with Kaprizov being the exception.

The Vegas Golden Knights re-upped Anthony Cirelli for an eerily similar price tag to Kaprizov: $9M for 4 years. This was also an Offer-Sheet match, although details of who made the offer remain between the player's agent and the Golden Knights.

Kaprizov, now a member of the Kraken, signed a $9M for 3 year deal. Chicago GM Darryl was happy to accept the compensation and move off of Kaprizov who did not play a single game or make a single penny during his brief off-season stint with the Blackhawks.

We're now in Wave 4 of Free Agency and although a number of RFAs re-upped in Wave 3, the cost to compensate gets lower with each wave and more and more offer-sheets are expected before "#OfferSheetSZN" wraps up.
