While not a great solution he has looked much better than Grubauer

Seattle needs to just find and develop a goalie or draft one with their 1st that should be the goal for 2023

Michael Hrabal could very well be that guy

Niklas Kokko is a very good goalie prospect, don’t sleep on him. But the Kraken definitely need to solidify that pipeline with more depth. Most teams take a goalie a draft, at some point the Kraken ought to take 2 though imo. They can stay away from Hrabal though, he’s destined to be a Senator 😤😤

Lehkonen isn't a close comparable. He was a pending RFA, not UFA, but Kuzmenko is also producing at a significantly better rate


How does his analytics line up? Lehkonen's analytics were really good (especially considering the team he was playing for)

I will counter with 2023 first, 2023 third and we take on Bailey


Both of you are arguing knowing full well it’s gonna somehow gonna be a lose-lose trade because of Lou and ofc because Vancouver is Vancouver

What a pleasant surprise. Can you show how Petey has been doing this season. The Kuzmenko-Pettersson-Mikheyev has to be one of the best lines in the NHL right now

massive yikes for Castonguay & Co.


Absolutely sounds like she was politicked out of her position. Obviously there's more to this story but in general I'm siding with the employee over the employers.

Trading 13oa pick for Romy isn’t the best idea imo

Doing the opposite of what was expected 😂. At least Kuzmenko is pulling his weight defensively

Lehkonen was one of the best defensive forwards in the league and his offensive analytics were there, he just couldn't finish.

So there's a difference there

Still he always finished in elimination game OT's to send his teams to the finals

Anyone have any insight on Dylan Larkin signing an extension with the Wings? He's gotta be looking at a massive payday. Is he a $10M AAV player? Not sure he gets the attention he deserves as a true #1 Center. I'm not sure he's a top 10 Center in the league, but he's probably not far off.

I'd still take Dallas' top line in a head-to-head matchup. I trust them more in big moments. But, Petey's line has been amazing lately and the driving force behind the team's recent success. The door is certainly wide open for the Canucks to make a push for the playoffs, especially with EDM and CGY underachieving thus far. Even the Kings and Seattle are vulnerable b/c of questionable goaltending. Gonna be very interesting to watch how this all plays out and how they handle their pending free agents as the season progresses.

Man when u look at the Pacific only 2 teams have a positive goal differential....

And both were recent expansion teams (VGK, SK)

Central's a bit better, Metro's where u expect it minus Carolina ruining things and the Atlantic is just doing its thing

You didn't seriously expect the Devils to runaway with the division lead a quarter way into the season, did you?

Devils +/- is where any good team in the metro would be so its where u expect it

As usually top 3 teams in Metro have a good goal differential except Carolina be ruining it being at 0

Devils this year decided to switch spots with Carolina which is pretty funny
