Just terrible.

Keith is terrible defensively of recent, and he provides some offence. But offence is NOT what EDM needs. No Klefbom for another year, losing Barrie unless he takes a good deal, Larsson tryna win and get paid.

They’re running 3-4 OFD minded guys (Bear, Bouchard, Keith, Broberg if he comes over). Almost worse than SJS. Don’t know why people put value in “tenured” executives.

“We can’t jump to conclusions and these guys have been executives forever, they know more than all of us plus they have a ton of experience.” - SN590

Lol it’s such an idiotic way of thinking. It’s why youth can’t find jobs, experience ain’t worth **** if you’re dumb.

Terrific market for Blake Coleman is also bad news lol


Watch Jimbo get Oleksiak on a 6x6 full NMC. At this point I just hope we get a good enough partner for Miro.

K so more news updates

Vegas exploring a Rielly Smith trade and Toronto may try to move Kerfoot ahead of the expansion draft if Dermott is not moved.

Gonna be an interesting time between now and expansion draft

I think Kerfoot earned some interest with his play. The leafs could easily fetch some assets.

As for Smith; mixed bag imo.

Right now the top LHD available as UFAs are probably:
1. Martinez
2. Suter
3. Hjalmarsson
4. Oleksiak

I kind of dont want to move him cause I had a funny idea

Dubas re-signs chucky, signs or trades for a RW to play with JT and we make our third line Chucky-Kerfoot-Nylander as that line had 7 goals and 11 assists in the 7 playoff games we had

so lets say we grab Garland

We could role

Mikheyev-Matthews-Marner
Foligno (if resigned)-Tavares-Garland (or whoever gets signed)
Chucky-Kerfoot-Nylander
Simmonds-Brooks-Spezza

3 scoring lines, some vet presence and depth

I like Hjalmarsson but can he not stay healthy for his life these last few years. If any teams signs him it should be as a depth option that you can swap in and out like Russel

Hjalmarsson really fell off a cliff this year. I'd have McCabe and Murray over him

Woulda liked to see term but he’s definitely shown he’s got what it takes to attempt to be a full time player. Really played well the longer he was up.

Lol. Brayden Schenn and Antti Niemi aren’t exactly my idea of “Elite” players.

Edit: Also what does “specialist” even mean?

Who do you guys think will replace Oleksiak if he leaves?

My guess is Savard.
