This is what Elliotte Friedman said about every team in the Eichel sweepstakes

LA: Kings could have done it but once they got Danault, they preferred to go down that road
Columbus: Couldn't get much information from Columbus since they're really private. But they made a lot of sense.
Montreal: Bergevin wasn't convinced Eichel was the right play
Calgary: Flames are blaming Adams because he and Kevin Weekes used to play together. Flames didn't have anyone the Sabres liked as much as Krebs and didn't have anyone that would be excited to go there as Tuch. Calgary didn't want to give up Tkachuk or Mangiapane

Kings should have went for Eichel as they got such a deep prospect pool and Eichel would have been the perfect successor to Kopitar for the 1c spot.

Nyquist- Jenner - Bjorkstrand
Hofmann - Roslovic -Stenlund
Robinson - Kuraly - Texier

Werenski - Bean
Gavrikov - Bayreuther
Carlsson - Peeke
Boqvist - Harrington (?)

Goalie unknown at the moment (likely Elvis)

If only I could use gifs as my profile picture. I would use this.

Edit: gifs can work on the image thing, I’ve seen if before. Bad luck.

A tip, is to paste the link, followed by “.jpg”

https://i.imgflip.com/5t5isp won’t work, instead input

Well, I got it to work, at least. My joke didn’t fall flat because the prop didn’t work again, as it has done on multiple occasions.

No idea why Gavrikov is playing with Bayreuther, get Harrington in ( I know Boqvist is recovering from injury ), also Sillinger-Chinakhov on the same line seems like a bad idea

In general I dont think Francis has done a good job

Still super early as who knows what hes gonna do next year or at the deadline

But man this team is stuck between tanking and truly competing and that's the worst place a team could be rn.


Well how good they are isn’t really a problem. What is a problem is that they got zero draft picks/prospects in the expansion draft, while Vegas got 2 1sts and a bunch of 2nds, and Alex Tuch and Reilly Smith and Nikita Gusev, etc. Now not only do they have a middling to bad team, but they also have the worst prospect pool in the league and no excess of draft picks.

My local ECHL team had “Take Your Dog To The Game Day” last night. Look at all the good boys and girls.

Chara could LITERALLY be his father, since Sillinger is 26 years younger than Z
