check this out. Could happen, would be crazy though but who can you send down without ruining their development? None of the players...

The ultimate consequence of giving out NTC deals to players that don't warrant them.

Khudobin ends up somewhere he doesn't want to and Dallas gets nothing for him. Well done boys.

A shame it didn't work out for both sides after that cup run. At least it means Oettinger plays more.

That would be wild. I would love to watch a game of Dynamo Moscow vs Washington, so that Ovi and Backstrom can play their former teams (even if Backstrom only played during the lockout)

CGY is right imo but I often default (without thinking) to CAL

Pretty sure in my Pacific division comment above I said CAL

Just for the fun off it? Not cause of merits for sure.

They don't allow unvaccinated fans in the arenas so why would that have any impact on the decision to close the arenas to fans? Vaccine does not prevent infection. Hence, the number of players testing positive. Maybe they should consider only testing symptomatic players/team personnel.

Metallurg Mg vs. Washington Capitals

SKA vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

A clash between leagues would be fun

Looks like Shayne Gostisbehere will be an NHL All Star this season. Raise your hand if you saw that coming. Yes, I know each team must be represented at least once, but he's far outperformed teammate Jacob Chychrun. Shocking. Good for him. He was trending in the wrong direction the last few seasons in Philly.

Tbh this doesn’t surprise me, he’s playing like an AHL goalie, getting payed 3 million+ for more than one year, and we have Oettinger plus Holtby who’re currently two of the best goalies in the league this year.

He got lucky during a hot streak, even then he only played well vs the Avs and the Knights.

To counter Beter’s point, if we lose him for nothing it’s a win for us, honestly he should cost assets to take. If we get neutral value it’s a win for us, and for Dobby it depends on how he sees the situation.

I guess that means no more holtby trades 😔

Part of me can't help but wonder if the Stars' management got a bit lucky that Bishop simply wasn't able to get back to 100%.

At the end of the day you never want to wish a career-ending injury on anybody but Nill and company clearly played their hand in one direction and nearly got bitten in the ass for it. Most intelligible hockey fans expected a Khudobin-Oettinger pairing to start the year with Bishop maybe being able to return. Results be damned, the Holtby signing was a strange one at the time that's only really now paying off, but still hasn't earned its way out of being a 'bad' signing. Good deal that's paid off, but the premise was flawed from the beginning.

I wouldn’t say lucky, more of good guessing, but it’s pretty much the same thing. Even I at their place called that Bishop was likely never going to be able to play again and when he realizes this he’ll announce his retirement, I predicted it this summer.

What was going to happen to Dobby was more of hard to guess, I think he was thinking the other way around of what was going to happen. He thought that Otter wasn’t able to play at that level and should get more development in the AHL, but in the end it was Dobby who couldn’t play that caliber of Hockey and Otter who excelled at it. If he would’ve known or even thought that was going to happen, he wouldn’t of protected Dobby, he left Bishop exposed for that reason, because he knew that Bishop was most likely not going to play again.

If a team claims him, they’ll just be fixing off his mistakes. And in the end he’ll seem like a mastermind when in reality he’s clueless and got lucky that he guessed correctly.
