Well not no where

If MTL paid a 2nd and a decent prospect Arizona probs take him


Doesn't make sense for MTL to give out picks though.

My guess is Hoffman's next team is Laval Rocket.

Chevy sees Hoffman on waivers goes Gimmie as defense is second on that team

Nahh don't see that happening. Why make it easier for Habs to poach Dubois by giving them cap space?

In this house we stan Jordan Dumais


Should've at the very worse been a 2nd round pick. He'll be one of the steals of the draft.

Bobcat's Post-Game Notes, TCPT Game 1

Jackets win, 7-1 over the St. Louis Blues.

- I completely missed the first couple minutes of the game, and just barely missed the first goal of the game: Jordan Dumais gets behind the defense and lets go a nice wrister past Colten Ellis glove side. Nice.

- Dumais then comes back around and gets one past Ellis on the glove side again to make it 2-0! Double nice.

- The first half of the first period was very boring for Jet Greaves, i feel. It ramped up later, and he showed out. If he keeps that play up, i wouldn't be surprised if he starts in Cleveland (once Tarasov gets called up, of course).

- I hadn't heard of Liam Hawel before i saw him on the roster for this tournament, and i was very impressed with his play. Man is HUGE (standing at 6'4", making him one of the taller guys in the lineup) and is somewhat speedy for his size. All alone on the left wing, and he basically does what Dumais did in the first period, but down the five-hole. Good stuff.

- RING THE BEL! Luca Del Bel Belluz (my new favorite hockey name ever) scores to make it 6-1. I'm not sure if this is funny or sad.

- Kent Johnson was silently very good here. One goal and two assists (one on Dumais's second goal, and one later on Kirill Marchenko's first point in a CBJ uniform, technically). I liked his play.

- I loved how scrappy Ben Boyd was. Boyd fought Griffin Luce at one point (which i completely missed seeing because i was busy with something else), so i respect him for that.

That's 6 straight wins at Traverse City for us. Let's keep this going.

First Devils lineup posted for the 22-23 season. yay

line 1: my boys
line 2: i know of them, may have big roles in utica this year
line 3 & 4: WHO?

Very solid Ds here, Bahl and Okhotiuk will give Brendan Smith some serious competition for 3LHD.
Walsh and Nemec are of course very exciting to.
3rd pair has a fair bit AHL experience also.

I’m surprised SJ would even get a penalty for the Kane termination ( though 833,333 is like nothing )

Vegas' style of management would work better in a European football system but he's going to be hard pressed when he realizes Bournemouth isn't an attractive destination for elite talent.
