For me EDM had one of the worst offseasons in history. They had a ton of cap space in the summer and added this:
D Duncan Keith (38) acquired by trade — 1192 GP + 135 playoff GP
D Cody Ceci (27) signed as UFA — 549 + 36 GP
LW Zach Hyman (29) signed as UFA — 345 + 32 GP
LW Warren Foegele (25) acquired by trade — 200 + 33 GP
C Derek Ryan (34) signed as UFA — 345 + 15 GP

Then they extended their UFA's:
LW/C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (28) — 656 + 21 GP
G Mike Smith (39) — 642 + 29 GP
D Tyson Barrie (30) — 610 + 30 GP

Nuge I can find reason for but Barrie made no sense with Bouchard, should have kept Bear, and not going out to address their goalie situation (Ullmark, Andersen, Holtby)

All of EDM problems are on Hollland and are completely wasting the prime of McDavid.


And it's not getting any better next year.


You made my old rant into a chart wow. I like it. Cleans up all my words into a nice diagram

Would add thought what he could have had. After all

Arvidsson, Graves, Nedeljkovic, Heinen, Suter, Donato, were all available and Oilers had the space/assets to get them.

Like imagine

Kane-Mcdavid-JP
RNH-Draisaitl-Yamamoto
Arvidsson-Suter-Mcleod
Perlini-Ryan-Kassian

Nurse-Bouchard
Graves-Bear
Lagesson-Russel

Nedeljkovic
Koskinen

Fun fact: Dylan Guenther is going to go from playing in an arena with 18k capacity to an arena with 5k capacity...

Also I was wondering, WTF are they gonna do with the center ice logo. Since both the ASU hockey team and the Coyotes are going to be playing on that ice

I was looking through my camera roll on my phone, and I completely forgot I had this screenshot on my phone. I think this works pretty well.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m a bit early tuning in, but they played the national anthems on the CBJ radio broadcast. Usually I tune in just in time for the opening faceoff because the NHL app is kinda slow sometimes, but this time was different.
