How much has Brock Boeser's next contract been impacted by his cold streak (aka: Miller trade)? Is he going to Klingberg himself?

Josh Erickson

Boeser probably could have landed $9MM this summer annually if he kept around last year's pace. I now struggle to imagine anyone offering him anything much higher than $7MM. It's been a really tough year for him, and it's not because he's unlucky. He's quite literally shooting at the lowest rate of his career. Quite a concerning development.

What a crazy trade deadline. I was more surprised by what teams didn't make any significant moves...i.e., Red Wings, Blues, Flames, Kings. Any thoughts on why the bubble teams stood pat for the most part?

Kings didn't have a ton of financial flexibility, so that one doesn't surprise me. The Flames are playing with house money. Still firmly in the exit stage of their retool/rebuild, their record is more a product of Dustin Wolf's play plus a weak mid-tier in the West. It didn't make sense for any of those teams to pay the sky-high prices assets were going for. Personally, I wasn't surprised to see any of those teams be a non-factor.

Thanks as always! Cody Glass, real deal or flash in the pan? Overall Devils grade for deadline moves (including Kova)?

Cody and I went to the same high school for a few milliseconds, so I'll try not to be biased, haha. He's shown legitimate top-nine/fringe top-six play before posting 35 points in 72 games in Nashville a few years ago. Year-to-year consistency and injuries have consistently been the problem. Given extended runway, I don't think it's out of the question he can be a 40-50 point guy for a team, but expecting him to do it multiple years in a row isn't wise.

2:59

There was some sticker shock on the Kovacevic extension for sure, but he's a possession menace and has kept up his previous level of play in more routine top-four usage in Jersey. I don't mind it. The Dumoulin pickup was an overpay. Overall, a B for being pretty targeted with their other moves and snatching value where they could (Glass, Sprong).

Alright folks, that's the top of the hour and all the time I've got today. Great questions – see everyone again next week!
