Not me because I'm too busy crying about how I'm already losing my second fantasy matchup of the season with a -17.8 tears of joy

In all seriousness, would Chychrun who has been off to a rough start on a bad team (got me a -12 last night) be worth dropping for a guy like Couture who went undrafted?


If you're gonna replace Chychrun, and I'm not saying you necessarily should, replace him with a someone on a decent team. Otherwise, the plus/minus will haunt you all season.

There is so much wrong with all of this.

Lindell should be as far away from the PP as possible and why is Gurianov on the 4th line?

I’m really surprised that Gurianov hasn’t requested a trade yet, and I wouldn’t blame him if he did.

Good idea. nobody in my league wants to trade for him so I'm gonna look around some more on the waiver wire.

Good 1st line, switch Vilardi and Strome then good 2nd line, good 3rd line, good 4th line, good top pair but injury concerns with Parayko, great 2nd pair, good 3rd pair, and good goalie tandem, team definitely can do some damage

Might as well call up Harley

There will be a worse defenseman than Girard on the team, guaranteed.

Weren’t these supposed to be submitted by Oct. 15? Do we have the full list yet, and if not, why not? Also Girard should definitely be on the list lol, assuming it’s like 17 D (7 D / 23 roster * 55 camp invites = 17 D invites) he’s definitely among our 17 best D imo. Like the 8 LD should include Chabot, D. Toews, Theodore, Pelech, Nurse, Chychrun, Rielly, and Girard imo. I guess they must like someone else more for some reason, although I can’t imagine who (Muzzin, Giordano, or Morrissey I guess? The only one of those I’d even consider at this point is probably Muzzin).

Still early but Matthew Kopperud could be the #1 NCAA free agent NHL teams try to grab for 2022

Carson Brière will probs be the second

Today is going to be the first time EVER that Michael McLeod and Nathan Bastian will verse each other. They're been teammates ever since they started playing hockey

Don’t think he can practice with the Isles unless they bring taxi squads back and he’s assigned there. If he’s assigned to Bridgeport I think he has to report. Usually millionaires that have been in the NHL for a while just don’t report unless it’s for conditioning though lol, most of them don’t feel like riding a bus when they’re 30+ and their net worth is 8 figures.

The isles are on a 13 game road trip and Komarov was practicing this morning, I wonder if he’s allowed to just stay with the isles and just not practice lol

That could be the case too. I know some veterans that get sent down (I think the example I’m thinking of was Backes a few years ago?) can get assigned to the minors but not be required to report to the AHL team.

A little Canadian Olympic roster nugget: Canadiens defenseman Ben Chiarot says GM Doug Armstrong told him he is NOT on Canada's "long list" of players eligible to make the team.
