Really, really wish we'd held Lundqvist and traded Georgiev.

trading up a little... i wonder if Sabres are making a concerted ploy to get RWs, we are terribly shy after Sam Reinhart there's.... not much.

Feels like we're really close to where I can't hope for a DeAngelo trade anymore unless we're getting a 2021 pick.

My timeline appeared to have just enough time to talk itself into the Pens perhaps reaching for a goalie in the second round before they took another with their next pick in the third...

Eight months ago, the Blackhawks had both Robin Lehner and Corey Crawford in goal. They've now decided that next season they are moving on and going with new young blood.

So, either they think the unproven young guys are ready to keep them in the playoffs right now, or they are going for the full rebuild (which might not please Toews and Kane).

Thornton being linked with VGK after Stastny traded to WPG. I think VGK will elect to just go with some combination of Glass/Stephenson at that second/third center position but the idea of Thornton getting a Stanley Cup with VGK and what it would do to sancarlos is pretty funny.

I’d be shocked if that came to fruition. But I’m a big Thornton fan so I’d be very happy for him if he won a Cup, anywhere.

I do know he got on well with De Boer, so there is a bit of logic to it.

Tyler Johnson put on waivers. That's (hopefully) one way to get around an NTC.

That and to free up money to counter offer sheets on Cirelli and Sergachev.

Flames sign Markstrom! 6X6. It's a overpayment and risky but going into next season with yet another average goalie tandem would have been a disaster.

I just read he gave up 117 goals on 118 xG so if you're not looking for average ...

The Rangers signed seven (7) new players today of which seven (7) are Americans who played in the NCAA. Our coach is an American who played and coached in the NCAA.

Done. 1 year 8 mill.

This is a league that gives mediocre players 5 year deals, how could Taylor Hall not get one?

...coming down off that 15 minute high...


Hall has always said that Krueger was his favourite coach he's played for. Obviously that's the initial draw; playing with Eichel/Reinhart/Skinner is a pretty outstanding top 4 suddenly. 1 year i see him as hedging his bets - if shit (again) hits the fan for the Sabres he can go elsewhere. Win-win.

goddamn - literally an hour ago i was so sour :D
