Zach Benson is officially Marty-St.-Louis-incarnate. He is not afraid of, and actually thrives, getting down and dirty, playing in the slot and mixing it up. His size is actually an advantage because he can pivot and spin quicker than anyone else to react to rebounds and deflections. His stick is so fast. Most guys his size tend to be perimeter playmakers, but that is not him at all. I was a big skeptic, not anymore.

And the Sabres have to roll with Levi at this point. Find a home for Comrie, waive him, trade him, he doesn't provide anything for them at this point; I think he makes a solid backup so not trying to knock him.

lmao, what is Chychrun doing?


Needed to see the Stars doctor because he got slashed on his cheek. Guess it was faster to take their tunnel instead of going through anyway in the back

Matt Duchene right behind him in line. Is there any combination of two guys over the past 6 years to generate more trade rumors?

Antti Raanta waived by Carolina. Must be something else coming down, I hadn't heard of any updates on Freddy's health, maybe a trade? Reimer/Lyon? Allen?

Wonder if Dallas claims Raanta (if Oettinger is out for a bit), LA Kings (Copley hurt), or Edmonton does to backup Skinner.

Seattle should have played Driedger a game or two to possibly showcase him for a trade.

Auston Matthews and William Nylander beat those 2

More trade rumours about Matthews to AZ alone than Duchene and Chychrun combined

Raanta isn't even NHL quality anymore, but I'm sure there's a desperate team that would rather take him for free than trade a mid round pick for someone better. This screams Holland all over it.

Pastrnak gets 5 and a game. Elliotte thinks he'll get suspended.

damn Flyers are too good

I expected them to be better than bottom 3/5, but 17-10-3 is quite shocking too me.

Really hope we come out of the draft with a Top D.

Jiricek or Kiviharju falling too us is our best bet

There’s a good chance both Dobson and Bouchard get at least 10 mill AAV on their next contracts

And just like that, an avalanche of forthcoming Kyrou out of St. Louis AGMs died on the vine...

Bouchard 100% will with Cap going up. Lou only pays the Veteran's. I could see Dobson forcing a trade.

Lou paid Barzal 9.1 x 8 when he was 25, a year
before his contract was up. I’d bet Dobson signs an 8 year extension this summer a year before his deal is up

There are two camps of Pens fans, the one’s pretending and those of us who are accepted reality. Be prepared for a ton of ridiculous Crosby trades on ACGM.

I was at the game. Some guys were chanting “Fire Dubas”after the game! Haha. Pens were beyond terrible. Could’ve been 10-0 had they not hit so many posts.

Should have been 8-0 as Karlsson pushed Gregor in the net cancelling one of the goals lul.

Anyways Pit gonna be a team to watch at TDL

As I think besides Crosby, Malkin, and Letang were gonna see a sell off

Heck if its allowed maybe Sullivan gets traded and they commit to rebuilding

But yea buying EK was a massive mistake, doing well there but man that contract

Imagine Raanta’s numbers on a worse defensive team. If he couldn’t get it done in Carolina, I don’t see him anywhere. He’s finished in the NHL, imo.
