One less goalie on the market. The market for Murray and Varlamov is gonna be hot once Kuemper and Campbell are off the board

Dallas is turning into a retirement home for goalies. Bishop goes down with career-ending injury. Potentially now Holtby with a career-ending injury. We'll find out about Khudobin in a couple of months... Yikes.

I hoped I'd never have to add anyone to my ignore list on here, but I'm sorry to say you've forced my hand. Good luck on your future endeavors.

It could be true but how many people (besides me) knew that the islanders were trading for Romanov? Kurz has no sources, I don’t even care what isles bloggers say anymore

It’s wild that I’m conditioned to be like “at least he didn’t trade for another 30 year old”

I hope so, he’s done some good things but he overpays for what he wants . Would rather a more progressive GM

Did Lou ever let anyone walk in Toronto? He wants to hoard every AHL tweeter by giving them league minimum

Will need to check as I dont remember, but I do remember he would waste 2nd round picks for rental C's like Boyle and Plekanec rather than trade for a top 4 Dman or heck when the team was having a record breaking season (before this year) he could have made a blockbuster trade for JT Miller and Ryan McDonagh but nah lets just hoard picks and play it to slow and safe.

Edit: Boyle and Plekanec were 2 guys Lou spent picks on then let go. There are probs others but those 2 are the easiest to find

I’m talking more about draft picks that are now in the 24-26 age range . He’ll give them NHL league minimum to play with the Isles AHL team even when it makes sense to not sign them

I can Nemec starting in the AHL and being called up mid-late season.


Quoting: Devil
Devils GM basically said what DB1899 said
Nemec wants to play in AHL next year and he’ll likely see NHL time late in the season with Luke Hughes who’s gonna sign after NCAA season


Makes sense. He’s probably not 100% NHL ready but as a second overall pick it’s possible. Could see either the NHL or AHL for him.
