The NHL Thread: It’s Back

Thats quite a dumpster fire. Vince Dunn is pretty good though.

not gonna lie, I’m not happy about losing Yanni Gourde.

oodles of cap space to trade with plenty of teams desperate for it?

This is a good strategy if they can get people to bite. Take every big contract as long as it comes with picks and prospects.

Vegas has been such an expansion outlier.

We will see what kind of side deals they made. Apparantly these will be announced at 1pm ET today. Maybe they also want to be paid to take on bad contracts rather than just picking them up and relieving teams of the burden.

Ghost + 2nd + 7th to Phx for no return.
So Sea took Twarynski rather than the draft picks + Salary Dump.

Doesn’t sound like Sea is going to collect much in the way of futures for cap space

Yzerman swapped goalies and got a much younger better guy for a 3rd round pick.

The guy he traded is also a UFA.

He’s on the path to be the 1st HOF as player and GM

WTF. Why did Carolina do that if Ned only signed for $3M for 2 years???

They obviously didn’t think he was that good.
But they also think Mrazic is good, so I suspect they are wrong.

They might be desperately trying to save enough money / cap space to sign Hamilton. I watched a lot of Canes games this year because I had 3 of them on my fantasy team. Dougie H was HUGE for them, I think if they lose him the whole thing crumbles. Mrazek is probably good enough to be their starter but they have no one ready to be the top D, PP QB guy if Hamilton walks. They’d just end up overpaying for Barrie. Carolina is really good, they’re actually in a Cup window if they keep Hamilton.

MB still living in the past. Fire his ass for this shit. Srsly how can you draft somebody with this history in the 21st century regardless of his talents. Makes it really hard to be a fan of the team anymore. Like he doesnt understand modern hockey he seems to living in a cave regarding the correct treatment of woman.

He’s 18. He may be an unredeemable asshole or he may grow. Too early to give up on him.

When you can take a 2nd round talent of questionable character in the 1st, you’ve gotta do it.

Only reason to ever take those guys if they drop and are way, way more talented than similar choices. They are not.

The Whataboutism in the habs forum is strong. :face_vomiting:

Look this is just good old school hockey wisdom. If you can’t sexually assault them in the alley you can’t sexually assault them on the ice! Wait that doesn’t sound right. Don’t skate to where the sexual assault is, skate to where the sexual assault is going! Wait that doesn’t sound right either.
