There's a reason they walked away 73% of GA in the TBL series were with him on the ice

They won that series when he became a HS

Now if DET eat 50% and throw in Berggren and we give FC sure

Lindy Ruff fired in NJ...
Travis Green to coach.

This got to be a tie for record now in # of coaches fired in a season if not then is it one more?

Ruff
Wood
Berube
Everson
McLellan
Smith
Lambert

(Looking at SJS or CBJ)

Worse, two of those guys earned extensions... Earlier this season. It really is bizarre.

So apparently EDM offered a 1st + player for Tanev but CGY went no

My guess it was either Ceci or Kulak

And yea kind of makes sense why u go no. As sure its a 1st but it wont be high and then taking a roster player over a prospect dont feel great especially if its Ceci

Babs pre-puck drop too...
Overdrive had the number in the teens over 18mo or so (no sure as I had the show in the background)...
But ya, tons of head coach movement and GMs feeling the heat I guess...
* In NJ, if Tom F. could of dealt for a goalie 2mo ago, they MAY have been OK (but trades are no picnic to make/goalies-r-voodoo!).

The thing with EDM I argue is if they just brought in Paul Coffey for Woodcroft they would have rebounded. He did a good job changing stuff

I feel this summer Mike Sullivan and Pitt will part ways.

It just seems like for him and that team its time to go different directions.

He needs to be coaching a SC team or a team on the cusp while Pitt needs to start to go towards a rebuild

Why the refs blowing the play dead on a 6 on 5 when that team had possession and not only once but twice lul

Did NHL hire new guys today?

Guess its early whistles today

Can't confirm, but I think since Xmas, Vegas is playing at or near "0.500-ball!"!!
Any STAT-takers?

Kevin Hayes just re-created MY one-&-only penalty shot in minor as a pee-wee!
* Flub the stick-handle in tight & throw off the keeper for the COOKIE!
A McGruff-Original

Laughing My A*rse Off Now!!!!

So Nylander got his first career hattrick. No, not that one. Alex. Crazy. Good for him for taking his opportunity and running with it!

Max Comtois signs with the Canes

Okay well.

I guess I’ll make it official and let all the gms know it’s okay to start making trades now. Let the fun commence today.

You’re welcome.

This feels like Jesse Puljujarvi all over again

How come there isn't more Guentzel to Rangers talk? Seems like Chytil + (Othmann?) would be what Penguins need right now in exchange.

Gives them a better chance to make playoffs next year then prospects would

I don't see the Rangers being interested in giving Chytil but I could be wrong

I'm assuming that they are the favorites to snag Wennberg as 3C and go all in for this year. Chytil doesn't help them this year, but Guentzel would

The Bait&Switch... erm, I mean The Athletic hasn't just fallen off a cliff. It's actively sky diving off the moon without a parachute. What was once so great is now struggling to hold its head above THW. Which is totally free. And didn;t make a ton of promises that the new corporate overlords gleefully took a dump on as soon as they could.

Maybe... But Chitin's very valuable

You’re 100% correct but I sincerely doubt FSG will want to make that move.

I’m sure Drury is making calls. Supposedly six teams are “interested” according to Lebrun. How accurate that is? Who knows but I’d imagine the Rags will always be looking.

True but he may be the one to go you know what I want out. Kind of like what Maurice did

Like for the betterment of this team I need to go vibe

True, but if the Leafs didn't have Reaves, many Leafs fans would be saying, "We need a guy that can fight"
Reaves cap contract is kinda meaningless, as he could be waived and not claimed, kinda means nothing to the cap,,,,about 200,000.
Either way the owners of the Leafs (Bell and Rogers) if they have to pay for Reaves will just raise your phone/cable/internet fees.

Reaves has brought some nice vibes to the lockerroom, since coming back from injury has looked better, and seems the org likes him from Brad to the teammates

Sure 1.35m is a lot but u can bury for a 200k cap hit and for what hes done in terms of them playing with a bit more bite im good
