Summary
Hello hockey fan’s, episode 223 of the Hockey Free For All Podcast has arrived, the topics of this week’s episode, include- #1. Comparing Gleb Pugachyov to Bob Gainey. #2. Gleb Pugachyov has more offensive upside than Bob Gainey. #3. Bob Gainey is the definition of ultimate team and complete player. #4. Gleb Pugachyov is exactly what the Canadiens need. Arber Xhekaj, Gleb Pugachyov, Florian Xhekaj and Bogdan Konyushkov all bring exactly what the Montreal Canadiens need. #5. No signing any free agents is the best news for the Montreal Canadiens. #6.

The Contracts of Leo Carlsson and Connor Bedard, make absolutely no sense. #13. Put it another way. Montreal has locked up 4-core players for 33 million dollars total, of annual cap hits. The Minnesota Wild will spend more than that just on Kirill Kaprizov and Quinn Hughes. #14. G.M.’s around the NHL better get a grasp. #15. Sorry, Zach Bolduc, is not a 4-or-5-million-dollar player. He’s shown no more than Kirby Dach has. #16. The Buffalo Sabres sign Peyton Krebs to a 4-year contract with an annual cap hit of 4.5 million dollars. #17. No, Montreal doesn’t need Mavrik Bourque either. #18. Nope, Montreal doesn’t need Anthoney Mantha. Not a good fit in Montreal. Very erratic in his career. #19. Yea, Anthoney Mantha signs a 2-year deal with the New Jersey…
