Raymond stays, Eklund should be reassigned but won’t be I think; he’s too smart to be sent away but he’s too small to warrant staying imo, Sillinger is 50/50 but probably down, Mercer stays I think, Lapierre burns it I think, no idea on Neighbours Jarvis McTavish (ducks are weird), Perfetti down I think.

Seider and Raymond race for Calder rn imo.

August 8th Birthdays?

I wholeheartedly disagree. Kotkaniemi deserved to make the team, and was played in the absolute best position an 18 year old Center could play for development, an very well sheltered offensive role on the 3rd line. He had a great 18 year old season. When injuries and bad lucked aligned in year 2 the habs sent him down to Laval to gain confidence, and he followed that up with a great performance in the playoffs that summer.

I think mcmichael deserves some more playing time but Hendrix needs some more time

Over Michael Bunting? Yeah right.

I mean he was getting 1st line minutes with Suzuki & Toffoli for most of the first few games. (Which was changed because losing 5 games in a row isn’t great) Sending him to Laval is more about boosting his confidence than anything else.

This just in: Talks between Vegas and Buffalo regarding Jack Eichel have heated up and cooled down approximately 25 times today, stay tuned for more

Ken Dryden, dominmik Simon, I spelled that wrong

What’s the problem why can’t they just get a deal. It’s like watching a digital clock.

Agree to disagree but I relate it too Eklund; just because a player is good enough to play doesn’t mean they should. Sometimes it’s better to develop a little more, hone your skills in the AHL/ whatever, add some size, play your 1-8 games before burning, and get developed by the NHL/ AHL crew. Like can Eklund play in the NHL; 100%. Should he play this year? Not entirely, even comeback later in the year if he needs too. Will he be hurt by developing further? Never. And that’s what I believe should have happened with KK, what I want to happen with Eklund. Not saying your wrong and I’m right. Just my take. Not every kid needs play at 18/19.

Islanders to me make the most sense, if it wasnt for the Rielly extension would say Toronto.

This is Lou's chance to fix his mistake

Pelech-Pulock
Chycrun-Mayfield
Green-Dobson

As for the rest

Panthers I dont see them doing it due to the cap as once Barkov's extension comes in it wont work

Kings maybe but the cost is high and as we saw with Chicago one wrong move and the rebuild is ****ed

There is nothing to base a deal like this off of so no one is sure what is good or bad.

Ok I understand. I wonder how fast it took the Gretzky deal to happen

I mean there’s a whole bunch of cap considerations to figure out for Vegas to make this work. Plus since he’s out for a long time after the trade anyways, there isn’t that much incentivizing a quick move.

William Karlsson going on IR for 6 weeks.

I have a question why is our 4th line wingers playing on the third line. The younger guys on the 4th except mcmichael because he is mcmichael.

They need immediate help at Center.

Another hard loss for Vegas. Pietrangelo better wake up now, he's been atrocious this season.

I’m sorry if I sounded impatient. I agreed stuff like that takes time but the media keeps us on a cliff about it

The islanders don’t make sense because of what they’d have to give up . They’d want one of Wahlstrom/Dobson + picks - the Islanders do not desperately need a top pair LHD. Scratching Chara and reuniting pelech-Pulock . solves all the isles problems.

Have they scratched chara this year any of the games

Rip Vegas
Their whole roster is hurt

I like the idea of the Kings trading for him
They could give up Turcotte+ for Chychurn

Mercer definitely stays
5 points in 7 games (4th on the Devils in scoring)
And is taking the role of 2C with Hughes on IR

“He’ll be doubled vaccinated soon,” says Travis Green, clarifying the confusion over Travis Hamonic’s status. #Canucks
