Honestly if the Nordiques returned and Saskatchewan got a team could argue for it. The battle of Canada vs USA every Stanley cup final would be very entertaining wink

2030 make it happen


Yes please!!!

Shane Lambert is a really off the board pick, I wonder how he’ll turn out? Sticking Out Tongue

Also I’m going to take a minute to appreciate how great of a name William von Barnekow Løfberg is.

Had to put him in because of the name, might never play a game but...that name is awesome.
Shane or Lambert who will it be...

So since i wasn’t too active on FA day, offseason review ( anything after NHL Draft time ):

Anaheim:
They resigned Getzlaf and that’s pretty much it, since they’re rebuilding, they don’t need to do too much
Good offseason

Arizona:
Acquired more cap dumps, picks and prospects, good return for Kuemper, signed depth FA’s/options to be flipped, gave way too much money to Jaskin
Good offseason

Boston:
Dealt Vladar, good deal, he wasn’t going to play and you got more than his value, resigned Hall, signed a bunch of depth and overpaid for a couple FA’s ( Forbort, Ullmark )
Still a good offseason though

Buffalo: acquiring more useful depth players, nothing really big here
Meh offseason, the team still sucks

Calgary:
Going for it, overpaid for Vladar, got Zadorov and his ridiculous ask, signed Coleman to an okay deal
Bad offseason, you overpaid for Vladar and arguably Coleman, Zadorov too, you’re defence is still questionable

Carolina:
Traded Foegele for Bear, great deal Bear is better, signed Raanta and Andersen to good deals though if you give Andersen’s that money, why not Ned, signed a bunch of depth including Tony D ( lol )
Good offseason, they’ve done some questionable moves but overall still good

Chicago:
Acquired MAF who might not play, got Tyler Johnson in a bad trade, should’ve been at least a 1st, got rid of Zadorov though, that was a good deal, signed depth, and Jake McCabe to too much money
Bad offseason, what are you doing Chicago, you’re like rebuilding and going for it at the same time

Colorado:
Overpaid out of desperation for Kuemper, signed Landeskog to a good deal
Okay offseason, the team is arguably worse than last year

Columbus:
Gave Jenner an extension, overpaid Kuraly, signed depth
Okay offseason, since they’re rebuilding they don’t need to do too much

Dallas:
Gave a bad deal to Suter, signed Holtby for some reason, you already had 2/3 NHL level goalies ( depending on Bishop ), signed depth
Okay offseason

Detroit:
Signed Pius Suter and a bunch of depth
Good offseason, Yzerplan is in motion

Edmonton:
Holland, Holland, Holland, overpaid Ceci and gave a bad deal to Hyman, traded Bear for Foegele, Bad trade Bear is better
Bad offseason, why is Holland the GM again, walking nightmare

Florida:
They’re going all in, dumping Stralman, signing Duclair and Forsling to good deals, giving Bennett, Verhaeghe, Montour high risk deals
Okay offseason, we’ll see if it pays off

Los Angeles:
Really looking to contend in a weak Pacific, gave Danault a good deal 😭, Athanasiou’s back, got Edler
Good offseason

Minnesota: Overpaid, Kulikov, Goligoski, Freddy Gaudreau
Bad offseason, still haven’t addressed your biggest need a good center not named JEE

Montreal:
Armia’s back on a good deal, Hoffman and Savard on good deals
Okay offseason, we need a 3c and don’t have too much space for one, maybe shouldn’t run with 1 center and 11 wingers either, should’ve probably used that Armia money towards a C

Nashville:
Granlund is back, signed depth
Okay offseason, they have to hope so forwards bounce back, they still have some holes there

New Jersey:
Dumped Butcher for cheap, overpaid Bernier, got Dougie, signed depth
Good offseason, gotta hope some forward season take the next step

NYI:
Haven’t done anything whatsoever
Jury’s our on offseason, still have a couple holes to fill

NYR:
Overpaid Nemeth, signed depth
Bad offseason, still have holes to fill especially on D

Ottawa:
Got rid of Dadonov in a good trade, signed Delzaster
Good offseason, they didn’t need to do too much

Philly:
Signed Martin Jones, Yandle
Good offseason, addressed their holes

Pittsburgh:
Signed Brock McGinn, depth
Good offseason

San Jose:
Got depth and veterans
Good offseason, have to hope the kids take a step forward

Seattle:
Signed Schwartz to a good deal, Grubauer and Wennberg to questionable ones, flipped Vanecek back for more than his value
Okay offseason I guess

Saint-Louis:
Haven’t done anything
Good offseason, the team is still in good shape, they don’t really have to do much, Tarasenko trade still pending though

Tampa:
Signed a bunch of depth, dumped Johnson for cheap
Good offseason, team still looks real good

Toronto:
Signed Mrazek, bunch of depth
Good offseason, they didn’t need to do much

Vancouver:
Signed a bunch of depth, overpaid Poolman and Hamonic, traded Schmidt away
Bad offseason, Benning masterclass

Vegas:
Overpaid for Dadonov, traded MAF, resigned Martinez and Janmark, overpaid Brossoit
Okay offseason, some weird moves

Washington:
Overpaid to get Vanecek back, signed depth
Okay offseason

Winnipeg:
Traded for Schmidt, overpaid for Dillon
Good offseason though filled your biggest hole, D, should add a couple forwards for their 4th line

Jim Benning is always the most active GM during FA.

Colorado, Carolina, NJ all in the mix for Saad

I feel bad for Dzinger18 so I hope he goes to Carolina


Lets gooo!

Your devils and fitzy probably deserve him because they actually use their brains, but Waddell needs to make up for all of his mistakes he made recently.

I'll take him, but Saad is probably safer given we could overpay big time for Tarasenko. I still just hope we get at least one of the two.

If they resign Palms, they might not need Tarasenko, unless they put Palmieri on the 3rd line

Makes sense. So if that's where those guys will land, where do you think Perry and Palmieri end up? I think at least one of them stays with their current team.

Palmieri stays

Perry could stay, or go to a team to win a cup
