I went back to the draft form to see our reactions. I think we owe the ducks an apology for calling them dumb about drafting McTavish

I’ll stand by my take lol, I said “I thought he’d go a little later (he was a late riser) around 5 or 6, but 3 isn’t too far out of the ballpark, he’s a great prospect.” I still would’ve taken Guenther and Luke Hughes before him, but McTavish is gonna be a beast. Zegras + McTavish as Anaheim’s 1-2 punch with Drysdale on the blueline, Comtois as the power winger, and Gibson or Dostal in net is an incredible future. They’re a top pair LD prospect (they have a bunch of low-end LD prospects like Guhle, Zellweger, Mahura, Larsson, etc.) and a couple wingers away from being totally loaded (and I like Perreault and Pastujov, Tracey a bit less but maybe he works out, so I’d say draft like 3 more wingers in the first 3 rounds over the next two years and hope you get 3 out of the 6 into the NHL).

Nah, I’ll stand by my take until we’ve actually seen most players develop, it’s been like 3 months since the draft, too early to see what we got wrong

What a nutty goal by Jack Hughes


spectacular goal by Hughes. Only a handful of players in the league that have the poise under pressure to make that play.

I had a blast at the game smile

Devils are looking good! Hughes is a stud.

Hey, what's the trick to get the player you trade for to have your logo again?

Trade for a player
Trade player back
Trade for player again
Reverse trade 1,3 then 2

That's the trick, also if any of you want to trade for someone at a higher cap than the one they have, you can do minus retention on a player which adds to their cap hit that amount

How Arizona got trounced 8-2 in their first game, Buffalo won 5-1, it's clearly going to be an Arizona loss even though they have the better players

Justin Holl is injured and since leafs have Liljegren to replace him but they don't have enough space to call up someone and can't use an emergency recall, they are signing Alex Bishop goalie for U of T to be their backup on an Amateur tryout contract, David Ayres must be laughing in a corner

It was mainly due to Mrazek being better than expected. Guess his groin be stronger than steel or something. As I was expecting him on LTIR. Anyways gonna be a fun day for the kid.

Ayres is the final boss and you don't use the final boss as a backup.

Sabres have claimed Christian Wolanin and the Ducks have waived Derek Grant, I'd expect Grant to be claimed, solid bottom 6 guy

Yep, Grant is probs the easiest claim for the fact if you want a solid faceoff winning PK center thats your guy. Just dont expect much else lul

Grant has 2 years left at $1.5 million. If Anaheim is waiving him, I very much doubt he gets claimed.
