I thought he got exempt from that but I could be completely wrong

TML in WC#2; rollin'!

Meh literally just need 2 points to get 2nd as they got games in hand on the 2 FLA teams

No concern

As nobody is climbing way ahead

Woll was good but the blue line still needs work

Will be interesting to see who Brad adds

As Brodie did not have himself a game and hes their steady guy

Not having a point shot threat also not great. Rielly got to find his playoff self as he was not afraid to shoot back there

You are, what your record says...
Brodie did well - primary assist on Noel's marker.

Brodie has an off game happens to every Dman. Hes been a steady presence so will let that one game slide

But I will say they do need some help and we know they have been shopping

Will be interesting to see who they add

Hear Ye Hear Ye Hear Ye...
Drouin has scored and it's in the NHL!

Didnt he do that twice already or is this not his third. Did they take the others away and he got assists

#3
Lighting the lamp!

For a guy making 825k thats not bad

Is it over the top no but for a guy not even at 1m mark its not awful

Now if he was on his old deal that would be awful lul

As they always say:
Second time on league minimums' a charm!

Wait was he on one before

As wasnt it ELC to 5.5m x 7 years or something

Got a feeling that second league min aint coming its off to Europe lul

The ELC - "league min 1.0"

"steppin on all my best material Doyl-ee_ "
LOL

Well it depends on what it is as I dont think 925k can be argued league min

If it was one of those deals like Robertson signed where it was like 797k but some would say 900k range be pushing

1st + 1st/Top Prospect/2nd + 2nd + Roster Player(s) apparently = Hanafin lul

Dont know what Flame fans be smoking but whatever it is I want some

Cause no way he getting more than what Chycrun who had 2.5 years left went for


But then it gets better

Gavrikov is a Zadorov comparable
Ekholm is a Tanev 50% retained comparable.


Seriously if these are the asks CGY gonna end up losing 3 guys for nothing arent they

Wow. I didn't even get a chance to turn the game on and Edmonton is already losing 2-1 with a total of 5 shots between the two teams.
Looks like this is going to be another epic goaltending duel.

Edit: Now 2-2 with 7 shots. (Should be 8, think Dostal wasn't credited with a save he made. Either way, defense is optional this game.

Rod Brindamour don’t put Michael Bunting on the 4th line challenge

Is he really killing another player

Bunting is not meant to be down there he needs to be with guys like Aho otherwise he will go no where.

That’s what our fans are saying, I think all but 1 of his goals this year is on the PP.

Yep

But man its like why do this. Gm did not give him that to be there. Heck same can be said for Orlov or in the past Bear

At least its not Torts bad but jesus hes getting close

Orlov had been pretty rough but has been better recently with Chatfield instead of Deangelo. I think it would’ve been better to just keep Gostisbehere and use the extra money on a forward

To me considering what hes making I would have tried him with Pesce. As hes got 1 more year so why waste it. Let Skeji be the third pair guy hes probs walking anyways as I dont think they gonna try and keep all 3 beyond this year

The thing is Skjei and Pesce have been a pair together pretty much since they acquired Skjei. They tried lefty-lefty with Skjei and Orlov on his off side for a bit and it actually worked pretty well.

True but if Skjei asks for to much and walks in FA then you dont really need to have them together.

I would do Orlov-Pesce and see how that works as if it goes well you can extend Pesce and let Skjei walk or flip him for something else

The more you go back in time, the more Phil Kessel looks like Connor McDavid.

If you go back far enough, you cannot tell the difference.



Edit: I dunno what changed but I couldn’t link Beaverton earlier and cannot provide a picture of a 15 year old Kessel who looks way more like mcdavid than Kessel.
