I would give him more preseason games as lets be real put him with JT and Nylander or KF and MM and he would probs thrive. Instead hes got Kase and Kampf who are good but are not guys he can succeed with.

This squad was not the best to let him showcase what hes got. Next game I would try Gusev-Kerfoot-Nylander or Gusev-Tavares-Ho-Sang

This one’s pretty much over.

Jackets win 3-0 over the Pens.

-Yegor Chinakhov has looked deadly in all the games I’ve seen him in. Someone once said he could be the “Russian Joe Sakic.” Maybe he could.

-Welcome to Columbus, Adam Boqvist! Nice setup by #SexiTexi Alex Texier.

-The team looks good for now. Not sure how they would play against a full NHL squad, but we’ll see later on.

I saw that Travis Hamonic might retire to avoid being vaccinated. Pretty weird reason to retire. Almost as weird as Nikita Popugaev retiring to be a social media influencer

Seems like a good reason to retire to me. He already has a solid nhl career under his belt, and he doesn't want to play in a league that discriminates non-vaccinated players. If I was in his place I'd probably do the same thing.

Ya Popugauev retiring to be a social media guy is weird.

Well Hamonic didn’t play in the bubble due to Covid so i don’t think it’s because he isn’t vaxed, we also know he only wants to play in the west and has considered retiring before

I believe he did once back in 2019-2020 against Edmonton

I remember they werent sure if it was his or Kerfoots but they gave both to him last time I checked

Other than that he has scored 2 goals 3 other times but often one was taken away from either being offside or a blown call

The most overrated team coming into this season is the Panthers.

Shhhhhh.....Dont say that their fans will come for you

Kind of not surprising but what makes you say that

Personally I dont think they will be as good this year as the previous season. I think everything just clicked last season and this season they will come down to earth. In general their team has to many questionable holes especially in arguably the most important part in building a team (goaltending). While they will be dangerous I see them finishing 4th in the Atlantic unless Bob and Knight really struggle then 5th or 6th

Goaltending is a big question mark, but they have an elite F core and two #1 defenseman

Interesting take. Not sure I agree. The panthers A) aren't being hyped that much and B) were good last season (they almost beat the champion lightning) and added Sam Reinhart this offseason. Not saying they are going to win the Stanley cup or anything like @Kotkaniemi15 but not sure they are overrated.

Not sure what my pick would be. Islanders I guess (regular season ilses, to be clear, not playoff isles).

This is entirely because people expect a 20yo goalie with 6 games of NHL experience to be in the Vezina conversation, which boggles the mind.

Yeah a lot of people think isles are going to win the division, I think they’ll finish 2nd or 3rd.

I agree. There's even a legit chance they miss the playoffs. I'd probably have them at 3rd place right now (behind the canes and pens I guess).
