Comtois is scratched tonight and it’s rumored he’s fallen out of favor with the Ducks. Comtois, Drysdale, Henrique and a 1st for Eichel 👀


He got scratched last year as well after not scoring for a few games. This is very Ducks typical. They did this years ago with other players before Comtois even played a single game. It's just a rumor and as long as someone like Eric Stephens doesn't confirm it, I'm gonna view it as just another rumor.

Last Undefeated Team?

Currently, there's 8 undefeated teams in the NHL. The top 5 are 3-0-0. Next opponent is noted in parenthesis.

1. STL (LAK)
2. FLA (COL)
3. MIN (ANA)
4. BUF (BOS)
5. EDM (ARI)
6. SJS (OTT)
7. CAR (MTL)
8. NJD (WASH)

Which team loses last?

I'm gonna pick Carolina. They play their next 2 games against MTL and CBJ, before a showdown with the Leafs on Monday.


STL, CAR, Florida if they can beat Colorado and Edmonton are all good options, i'd go with Saint-Louis maybe

Seems like a really good opportunity for Kylington given that the Flames appear allergic to playing him.

If we could do Kylington for Kravtsov I would do that in a heartbeat. I'd even throw in a mid-round pick (4th or 5th)

Blues look really good thus far. Very balanced and very hard to play against. I like Kyrou as a breakout player.

Hughes for Eichel, 1fur1


There would be a riot outside Prudential Center.

They have Svechnikov in his own tier, then Dahlin in another below with Hughes.

Honestly, he should go for it as like Raty if he continues to play in Liiga his value could drop fast as rn 10 gp 1 goal and 1 assist and a -2 aint good for his development or confidence and could result in him dropping down.

Got a feeling playing amongst peers his age will greatly increase his value towards the draft and solidify his #2 position.


A western Canadian Boy plays in the WHL

I hate that he represents Finland on the international stage.

Sheesh, I mean I guess but I'd say dahlins as much a top dman as Svechnikov is a winger.

Yep, and D's who are not DFD's as we're pretty much relying on Petry to carry our defense's offense

If he wasn’t able to make the save because of that « contact » then Andersen is a «p***y

They showed the replay of the Anderson save, and it reminded me of this, and now I’m even more sad than I already am.

I’m watching on NHL live. Other than that it only looks like it’s available in the regions around Montréal & Raleigh.

Yeah, I agree with Pierre there. Part of the reason that wasn’t a goal is because it’s Gallagher, which is extremely stupid.

I fully believe that too many kids are trying to play a league or so higher than they should be - specifically some of the European kids - for the exposure and I completely agree that it's arguably one of the worst things they could be doing for their development. Be it their parents, agents, or their own foolishness, they saw Matthews take it to the NLA and have the same illusions of grandeur as top-rated prospects of their draft class without recognizing the canyon between their talents (and size to an extent) with Auston's. Raty struggled with this, Lundell did up until last season, and I'd be unsurprised if a lot of prospects coming out of the KHL would have fared better in their draft years if they got the ice time to play alongside their peers as opposed to 6 minutes per night against men.

To Lambert's credit, I don't think he should have been in the U20 Sarja last season: he was among the top of the crop in his Draft-2 season and some form of progression should have been expected. Using NHLe as a very rough tool for estimating league strengths, I don't think the WHL is a terribly appropriate place for Lambert to ship off to: it's only about a 33% increase in league strength from the SM U20 league and Lambert has squared off against men for over a season now. I would personally think the Slovakian league or the Allsvenskan would be a more developmentally-appropriate place for someone of Lambert's skill: they factor in as middle grounds between the SM-Liiga and U20 Sarja and would still keep him relatively close to home.

I'd expect Lambert to probably post some ridiculous number above 2 points per game in the WHL and I'd take pause with that as a scout: unless you're seeing strides in his conditioning, maturity, and other intangibles, it really just looks like stat padding for draft position and he may require an extra season or two of development before being NHL ready. I'd have a hard time passing up McGroarty or Savoie if I'm in desperate need of the high-end skill sooner rather than later.

I hate redrafts that happen within 5 years of the actual draft, especially their 2019 and 2020 ones, and even more so in the context of Dom's model. There's been hardly enough time to justify any form of hindsight and a lack of data to substantiate any of their claims. If their draft models were actually good, teams would abide by them.

I get that it's for fun and for clicks, but wow do I really not like such empty-calorie articles.
