He was also on waivers.





Could have had him for nothing.


He's clearly not an NHL player which is why he was on waivers. He has potential so it's a clear W for Montreal. Because he cleared, his value actually went up.

A reminder that CHI paid less for Marc-Andre Fleury than Cam Hillis or Cooper Zech.

Fleury also made 7 Million which was the turn off. He should've been worth more though since he just won the Vezina

Emphasis on paid. Yes we all know the nuance behind the trade, a complete cap dump, yet is still wasn't a deal for future considerations. Random prospect Mikael Hakkarainen went the other way.

Shame that Hakkarainen's career ended due to a heart condition. It'll still definitely be a some kind of flex for him in the future awesome face

It's one of those stories that you would tell at a bar to people that would never believe you/tell to younger family members.

"Can you tell us about your hockey career, Uncle Mikael?"

"You'll never believe this, but i was traded for a Vezina-winning goalie, son. Here's the story..."

I wouldn’t mind the Leafs taking a flyer on him. Could use a good transition fwd. Could be a good “change of scenery” player.

The Sharks won’t claim Bellows and when they don’t claim him I’m going to lose my mind.

You're joking right?

Bettman should be fired on the spot for letting this happen

Houston is ready for an NHL team

But nah Bettman wont admit he made a mistake and move the Coyotes

Until hes out they will be in stadium hell

As even if the council votes for the Tempe Arena its not gonna be finished till either 2026 or 2028

Will give them a slight pass as yeah they be doing this **** but unlike the NBA the NHL isnt trying to get actively get rid of tanking

Like the NBA is gonna start actively punish teams who want to purposefully tank for the #1OA pick

Stars sending Jacob Peterson down to the AHL and calling up Matej Blumel. Looks like we're trying to get a scoring spark after a couple of terrible games. Will be interesting to see what the lines look like now. I'm assuming Gurianov is the scratch, since he has been terrible this year.

Seriously though the last five periods have been the complete opposite of what all periods before that were. Something just went wrong, and I'd prefer for them to change that, quick.

Legit only Wyatt Johnston has been able to score during this timeframe lol. Love the kid, but we won't win any games like that.
