@Alfie11 @Gmonwy

If you were to go to a Blue Jackets Vs Flames game, would you boo Gaudreau?

Nope. Still one of my fav players in the league. Don't like how he left, but I have so many good memories, and one bad one doesn't outweigh the good ones

Great for Gaudreau for going to a team with a rich hockey history in a beautiful city

I've got nothing against Columbus.

This was just so weird. Like, easily the most unexpected thing to happen this offseason.

Flames should have done that
Reports are that a package including second overall was offered on draft day

You got a source for that? I never heard that there was an actual offer on the table. I just heard that people were asking about Tkachuk and the Flames weren’t listening. I woulda taken 2oa + Holtz + Sharangovich if I knew Tkachuk wasn’t gonna sign long term though. I feel like Treliving shoulda set the day before the draft as the hard deadline for Tkachuk and Gaudreau to decide what they wanted to do (sign long term or sign the QO/leave respectively).

Hm, wish he knew what else was in the package. That way I could confidently curse out Treliving if Tkachuk ends up walking next summer 🙃 Cuz 2oa alone isn’t close, but if it was actually a fair package then he maybe shoulda pulled the trigger given what we know now about Gaudreau (and Treliving probably shouldn’t have given Gaudreau as much time to make his decision as he did given how pivotal these two players are to the success of the Flames).

At this pace Dubas will waive 7 players on the first day.. and they will all get claimed obviously.

Last year he waived a bunch non got claimed but after that one month where they went 14-2 or whatever all of a sudden everyone was claimed

Clifford, Mete, and Anderson probs clear as those really are the only guys who need it and in the past often cleared multiple times. Maybe Gaudette but idk I feel hes gonna be a 4th liner

Yikes I just had an Isles fan tell me that Kiefer Bellows is better than Höglander, Podkolzin, Pearson, and Kuzmenko 😬

Meanwhile in the land of flyers they bought out a guy who just came back from cancer the previous year and donated money to charity to say sorry all so they could go get another Dman they didnt need

RIP

Not agreeing but got a question whats Van's plan for Pod or Hog as man they got to many wings rn and at this rate one of them gonna be on the 4th line

Pearson is easy he can be a 4th liner

Canucks lines with nobody moved:
Höglander-Pettersson-Boeser
Podkolzin-Miller-Kuzmneko
Mikheyev-Horvat-Garland

They are locks for our top 9. Kiefer Bellows might not even make our fourth line

Miller Petey and Horvat will all be centers so we can roll three elite lines. Having Dickinson kinda kills the offense. See my above comment for the best top 9 like combos

Man it must be weird for guys to play for GMs that were former teammates of theirs. Fleury under Guerin, Vlasic under Grier, Kopitar/Quick under Blake, etc. Maybe a couple more. I wonder what that dynamic is like lol

D. Brown under Blake and E. Staal under Kevyn Adams in Buffalo played under former teammates too.
