Just realized that the youngest player in NHL right now was born in 2003 (Cole Sillinger).

I'm starting to have an age crisis here.


Ya I can be drafted in 2023. That makes me feel old.

I'm late but I'm just going to say it: for the next 5 years or so, people are going to be ripping the leafs for losing Adam Brooks to the habs even though he's a 4th liner. Just becuase they lost a player off waivers to the habs.

Gosh I hope I don't go to Buffalo. I sure hope they win the lottery and you can go there.

Oh wait... the next team is probably Arizona... never mind, give me Buffalo.

Don’t worry, they’ll probably be relocated somewhere by then

Please read this. I have been triggered😠😠


I mean I wouldn’t agree that they’ll be garbage, but given how good the Eastern Conference is, and how unpredictable a lot of their roster is, I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see them barely miss the playoffs.

The players who are currently on an NHL roster but whose contract can slide are Quinton Byfield, Seth Jarvis, Hendrix Lapierre, Dawson Mercer, Jake Neighbours, Cole Perfetti, Lucas Raymond, William Eklund, Mason McTavish and Cole Sillinger so those guys haven't technically "made the team" yet as they might have the 9 game tryout before being sent down to preserve a year of the contract

Stays up after 9:
Mercer - think he’s solid enough to stick
Raymond - guys talented
McTavish - Should be sent down tho I think (don’t need to rush him)
Eklund - should be sent down tho I think (let him murder the AHL/ SHL and get some size)

Send down before 10:
Lapierre - don’t ruin this kid
Byfield - let byfield develop slowly
Jarvis - don’t rush
Neighbours - don’t rush
Sillinger - don’t need to burn this kid this year
