Ah believe me my brain is cluster f*cked world, I remember stuff I shouldn’t and I forget stuff I shouldn’t. At one point I could remember each Stanley cup winner from 1927-2021 without looking it up, and well I sometimes forget every day stuff.

Also ironically enough he got waived during veteran’s day, which will now become my new favourite holiday.

At least Kakko has some decency and don't want to potentially injure his fans. What was Hughes even thinking...someone could get hurt.


Quoting: justaBoss
That's actually Ray Shero after he realized his mistake in choosing Hughes over Kakko.

That actually cost him his job you know.


You must really like that Krappo guy😂

Honestly I like Kakko, but to be fair as a Finn I like all Finns in this league.

If there's some positive in this season from the Habs, it's definitely this guy

And to a lesser extent, this guy

Offensively yes, but defensively Sandin has the advantage and if he continues on his current development man is he gonna be a solid top pair 2-way defender


Sandin is no detriment defensively but he's far from a "solid top pair 2-way defender" and it's extremely unlikely he every will be. I think he's going to be Muzzin's replacement, except he'll be more offensively focused than Muzzin.

For the record, I think Chychrun is overrated big time, but still, Sandin is very unlikely too be anywhere near him.

Agree with most of what you guys are saying. I see Sandin as more of a fringe #2 very solid #3 dman, although I don't think top pair guy is out of the question. Chychrun is tough to judge rn with the poor season he's having but if Sandin can be as good as Chychrun has been in the past I would be over the moon. To me it's more of a matter of whether it's a fit or not, I don't think it really is especially with Chychrun struggling I don't see the point of bringing him in, Muzzin has been struggling as well, but still. I think the assets required to get him would be better to be held onto as of rn, especially considering it's not an area of need.


Quoting: Db1899
I disagree. Sandin has been an elite play driver this season and the early returns show he can be just as good as Chychrun. People have been making excuses for Chychrun's play this season because he's on the coyotes, but Ghost has been playing very well. There's no guarantee he has a top pair impact this year if he gets traded.


See above.

Notes from a wild Thursday around the league:
-Matt Boldy (of Boston College) scores his first NHL goal in his first NHL game (which happens to be in Boston), turns out to be the GWG, Wild beat the Bruins 3-2

-Kuch returns with 2 beautiful assists, Vasi and the D shine, Lightning win 4-1 over the Flames (and ring 6 POSTS)

-Penguins clobber the Flyers 6-2 for 10th win in a row, Bryan Rust adds 2 more goals (3rd multi-goal game in a row!) and an assist, Evan Rodrigues also has a goal and an assist (what a season he's having)

-Devils beat the Blue Jackets 3-1, Jack Hughes with a goal and 2 assists (12 points in 5 games!)

-Sharks beat the Sabres 3-2

Games still going on:

-Stars are leading the Panthers 5-4 in the 3rd period in a WILD affair down in Dallas

-Avalanche beating the Jets 4-1, the MacKinnon/Rantanen/Landeskog line has teamed up for 3 goals, each has 3 points

-Vegas leads the Rangers 1-0 at the end of the 1st on a Marchessault PP goal

-Preds lead the Kings 1-0 at the end of the 1st on a Filip Forsberg PP goal

-Coyotes lead the Blackhawks 3-2 at the end of 2, Vejmelka made an UNREAL save on Debrincat early in the game

I had no idea Romanov's defensive metrics were this good, wasn't he better offensively and much worse defensively last year?

Ik @Saskleaf is happy about this

Exactly. Last year he was near the 50th percentile in both defense and offense. He's taking shape as a reliable two-way guy.

New York isn't exactly the best team for developing prospects.

I'm saying New York because that applies to Isles as well. Trotz doesn't really like them prospects.
