I thought we agreed that the universe was going to turn Faksa into Armia shortly after free agency opens up?


Meh, why bother changing an offensive blackhole to a more expensive one.

Armia wins it by $150k

Faksa has more points though

If it's less than a league-minimum contract it doesn't count.

He'll just retire once he gets his signing bonus. He can make up that extra $2.5M with an organizational role with any team he wants.

Perhaps.

Regardless, I'd want to use the money Faksa's contract frees up and use assets to change that to a D-man.

Some Ducks fans said they'd be willing to take him and a first for Shattenkirk. I kinda like the idea.

Stars win.

A bounceback after dreadful performance against Devils.

Sh*t ain't looking too good for Kings anymore.

I mean its better for the League for Vegas to make it over LA as lets be real a healthy Vegas is scarier than this LA team who apparently wont have Doughty back for the playoffs.

LA though next season with Chycrun will be more fun

But still Pacioretty - Eichel - Stone gonna be a dangerous line come playoff time

Habs reject. He's another Dvorak if not worse. We only acquire another center if it's either getting back picks and prospects with the center / getting a 1st line center / getting a 2nd line center.
No use for faksa. I much rather keep armia, tbh

How about no?

The league wants parity, it gets what it gets.

It's bound to be a hell of a meme if VGK is out of playoffs.

By the same token it's also a bit of a shame because there's some real talent there.

Just saying they realistically could be a team challenging for a cup - even if they're the last team to make it.

Its a win/win situation whether they make it or not

As if they make it you get Mcdavid vs. Eichel or the #1OA vs. #2OA from 2015

But if they dont make it we can laugh at them

I agree.

I lowkey want to see that heated series between VGK and EDM over EDM smashing crippled LA in the butt.

Yep, LA needs one more offseason before they can become a legit threat

If they come out of the 2022 offseason with Boeser + Chycrun and maybe a depth winger then that's when I feel they are set.

Anybody know the feeling when you watch a scene in a film (or in this case, a series) so freaking incredibly acted and realistic that you walk around the room with your mouth half-open for a few minutes?

Because, without going into details here, WOW, what a scene. I'm basically just writing this here to let my emotions out. WOW.

I'd replace Boeser with Forsberg - think Arvidsson's gonna get his best mate to rule over California.

I will need to check if a 9mill Forsberg works as LA doesnt actually have a tonne of space

Barely got 7.5mill Boeser to fit lul.

That might happen with sports, but not with acted series to me.
