Oh I don’t doubt that Marchand is a great player


I know that first hand smh


But he’s not top 10 league wide


Maybe, although that might be a bit of bias towards centres and defensemen. Them having him as the 3rd best winger definitely isn’t too far off.

What's your hottest take for your team this year?

Mine is that
1- The defense will go from top 5 to bottom 10
2- Caufield will be a top 15 RW by the end of this season

Either:
- Samsonov and Vanacek share the Jennings trophy this year
or
- Backstrom has a Hart caliber season but is snubbed in voting

hes def top five in wingers, just not top ten league wide. Im not disputing that hes a fantastic player, but hes not top ten in the whole league. IMO point is better than marchand, this playoffs sealed that for me

1. Suter will get 60+ points.
2. His power play unit and our other unit will lead league wide.

I completely missed last night's game.

Jackets lose 5-4 in a shootout to the Sabres.

-it was 4-1 going into the 3rd period. Is this what it's like to be a Leafs fan?

-We were definitely playing the Cleveland squad for a bit. I hadn't heard of Cole Clayton, Cole Fonstad or Zac Jordan until just now when i looked at the stats.

-"The Maestro" Ollie Bjorkstrand got 2 goals. Good on him.

Price will be healthy and have a good regular season
Ryan Poehling will be in the top 10 for the Calder ( if he's eligible of course, i think he should be )

1) Columbus finish 6th in the Metro ahead of the Rangers (panicking for grit comes back to bite them in the backside) and Penguins (Injuries)

2) Laine bounces back and has a 60+ point campaign.

3) Leafs win the Cup.

That's not a hot take, that's an impossible take

I like those first two, Laine seems primed for a bounce back and I don't think NYR and PIT are as good as people say. That being said, the Leafs winning the Cup? I didn't realize anyone outside of Toronto had any faith in them anymore, it seems like the popular thing to dunk on them now.

I have Pens at 5 or 6 i think, yeah, they're primed for regression, that said i have NYR as 4th in the Metro but missing the playoffs

Suspended 3 games… with basically an option to pay 2000$ or sit out 10 more (so an option to sit 13 games or lose a couple extra grand and rest for a week)

Somehow drastically worse than all the NHL DoPS suspensions…

While I like seeing Toronto suffer, I am a big fan of chaos and this is certainly it.

Poehling isn't eligible anymore after playing 27 games in a season.

I've been looking into this Jalen Smereck kid since the incident, and he may be a good help for our AHL team. He's 24, plays defense (shoots left though, so that won't help the Problem™), and has playmaking potential. Get on it, Jarmo.

Think the incessant Eichel trades and then multiply that by every other player worth anything that has been rumored for a trade.
