8 years 9.5 mil


In general other than Makar, Fox, and Mcavoy most Dman who got 9mill last offseason or signed an extension really have not impressed or are not performing up to those deals

Ironically its the guys who signed under that (7.5-8.45) who have been living up to expectations

Also Jones was on for the Makar goal to lul

If Makar does not win the Norris then something is wrong with the NHL

What a goal




Beauty goal no doubt, an OT-GWG too!

But the true highlight, is how softly Dach decides to perform on an NHL-stage...brutal, limp-phallic attempt. Couldn't check his coat at the United Centre w/ that effort...

I get it.
It's 3-on-3, skilled guys pony over the boards, take a man and stick with him and it's not a playoff scenario - so it's limited in it's effectiveness longterm.

But that get's a right loud NFL (I mean NHL_to stay w/ NHL content) - - - C'MON MAN!!!!

You're not at a sports bar. You're on a forum with guided discussion topics and it's been asked a few times that the discussion in this thread be NHL-related. Much in the same way a barkeep would ask you to not make a fort out of the barstools and tables such that everyone has a place to sit, I'm asking you guys to keep this discussion focused so that when any user goes to look for an update regarding the NHL, they don't have to sift through comparisons to the Cowboys to find it.

I don't care to what extent the conversation goes so long as it's NHL-focused.


Ok… I see your reasoning now. But can we make it “hockey discussion thread” as opposed to NHL discussion thread? I think we would all enjoy that. We could leave the life discussions to the All Topics Thread

Bobcat's Post-Game Notes, Game 31

Jackets lose 7-2 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

-I didn't watch it live like i usually do because i knew the ending before the game even started: We were gonna get flattened.

-Korpi was in net, and he had a very bad game. Usually, he does really well for a while, then lets in a softie and things go downhill from there. He didn't even have that streak where he does well. We started on a downhill slope.

-Welcome back, Dean Kukan! Good to see his wrist is okay. Good positioning to get the rebound and put it past Vasilevskiy.

-I keep having to remind myself that this team is one of the youngest in the league. We still have a lot of development left. This team is gonna be great in a couple of years, but just not right now.

Maybe I'm dumb but if they consider AHLers, shouldn't they consider Murray & Kane as well?

The last two for 2/2 are questionable for what they have with the law

Leipsic didn’t break the law. My bad. But he did say bad things about some people from the caps and women on Twitter I think.

The title says NHL discussion and you guys like to crack wise about how we're going to need a million of these threads to complete the season. Feel free to start up a separate Olympics thread.

Not sure what you'd need a dedicated thread for "other" leagues for: those discussions tend to be prospect-oriented and should be held in the prospects thread or in the context of NHLe, which this thread is fine for.


Why not just move our whole thread to the box, problem solved. That way we don't have to worry and you don't have to worry.

I think the Kings get him with a package of Turcotte+


I can see them trading Clarke , Vilardi + a 2023 1st for Chychrun and a 2nd

LA's forward pool is deeper than the RD pool though, i think they'd want to keep Clarke

I agree, but if they feel they’re ready to contend next season maybe they trade Clarke if they can get one of nemec, Casey, jiricek In the draft.

I think you hit the nail on the head on the problem.

Norris should be a D-man award, given for the best defensive prowess.

Makar is offensively very talented player and defensively also good, but scoring amazing goals shouldn't be something that warrants a Norris trophy.


there should just be more defencemen awards in general, there are too many guys getting cut short

Murray and Kane are under NHL contracts, so I’m pretty sure that makes them ineligible

I have not seen anyone talk about Elias Petterson and how poopy butt he’s been. He’s on pace to finish the year with 41 points 🤢

Need to be an OFD and a DFD award. There's an award for a defensive forward.
