Sullivan got robbed

Like for what 3-4 months he didnt have Crosby and Malkin and still the Penguins went on like what 2 10 game win streaks or something with Rodrigues as the 1c.


I would have agreed if it was February but how you end matters more

Seeing a handful of delusional Habs fans think we are going to trade 87 is pretty funny yet sad


Detroit has the most delusional fanbase by far

The US are winning 3-0 against GREAT BRITAIN LOL and there's like 5 minutes left to the game, they suck so much, how, the Czech's scored 5 vs GB lol, Norway scored 3


I would like to retract this statement, Canada is winning 3-2 vs KAZAKHSTAN and was losing 1-0 then 2-1

Zaitsev would make a good alternate captain on Long Island, i think

Captain: Anders Lee
Alternate 1: Josh Bailey
Alternate 2: Nikita Zaitsev

Prefer to get some responses for this on here:

Would an Engvall for Miles Wood(NJD) trade be fair?

NJD gets an excellent PK man (something they really struggle with) can play in the bottom six and give you 30 plus points

TOR does take a risk here with Wood who has not be able to play a full 82 games in his career, but plays the heavier style the Leafs are looking for.


Wouldn't want Devils to do it.
Seems to me Engvall may have had a career year.
Wood's got a consistent track record of putting up significant production with limited ice time and possess a playing style unique to the organization.
Part of why the Devils PK has been average is mostly due to goaltending but the absence of Wood may have contributed further to that.
Besides, if Devils are moving Wood out I can't see that they'd be looking for a bottom six winger in return. He'd likely be packaged with something else for a goalie.

As for value, I suppose it's rather fair.
I just don't see a fit.

Isnt Woods QO 3.5mill

I feel hes a candidate that might just become a UFA as does NJ want to give him that.

So we could just wait and get both


I think they qualify him, or work out an extension at around 3m.
Though there might be developments regarding his hip injury leading to Devils walking away from Wood.
I'd want him to stick around for at least one more year anyway, doesn't matter much to me if he walks an UFA after that.

NJD themselves are in the market for heavier style type forwards. I don't get the vibe they want to move on from Wood.

Trade proposed on HFboards:

Miller (50% retained), OEL, Dickinson for Marner, Sandin, Liljeren , Kerfoot

Canucks fan response: Remove the retention on Miller, and Id consider it. I feel Marners contract is too much and part of that should be retained if hes coming back

He’s a top 2 hockey player in NHL history, and he isn’t #2 😉

I get its exciting to have a player who's market value is higher than his on ice value, but they're taking it to a whole new level. No doubt theyll get a lot for Miller, but I bet more than half the fanbase will be disappointed with the return.

It’s quite an interesting situation. There’s people who wayyy overvalue Miller, and then those who think that Miller get be acquired for scraps. Realistically I think he will fetch a mid first round pick, former first round pick prospect, and roster player as reported

I have no idea who's going to trade for him. Obviously there will be a lot of teams interested, I just don't know who's likely to pull the trigger

It’s been reported a deal came close in January. I think with the flexibility of the offseason, more teams will poke around. For once, I am actually optimistic that we will get good value in a trade this offseason. Im sure there will be at least one desperate GM after the playoffs conclude who wants to improve quickly

Not a bad idea but Devils likely say no

Devils really lacked Wood's physically and speed this year. They literally had Mason Geertsen as his replacement (down tremenously). They will probably give him 1 year, $3M and see how he does.

Was that Mason Geertsen slander I read?
