Dylan Cozens is starting to put together a pretty good season. He's up to 7G and 7A. I really like what BUF has with him up front and Dahlin quietly racking up points on the back end.

Translated from Russian to English, his name means Shaquille. As in Shaquille O'Neal. Both Shaqs are big, strong, and powerful.

I'd be interested in doing a deep dive into Holtby as a potential HOF'er. Off the top of my head, he's not there. But, he probably compares rather well to some of the Goalies that barely made the HOF.

Yes. Pettersson is nowhere near as good as Hughes. He's soft and he doesn't skate well at all. He has a great one-timer, though. I'll give him that much.

Nobody is more desperate for offense than NYI. Maybe they take a shot with Kane if they can dump a bad contract in return. Not sure it'll work, of course, but it'll be getting close to being too late to turn things around in a couple weeks.

Thread: New Jersey Devils signed Jack Hughes (8 Years / $8,000,000 AAV)

If only Devils fans responded to this poll, it'd be 95% "Yes."

Many of the same people that voted "No" for Hughes, probably voted "Yes" for Pettersson, who received nearly 95% "Yes" votes. If that poll were taken again today, I doubt it'd be over 50%. Stats can be very deceptive.

Thread: New Jersey Devils signed Jack Hughes (8 Years / $8,000,000 AAV)

The numbers don't tell the story. Anyone who's watched him skate and make plays with the puck knows he's elite. Hughes is not dependent on high scoring wingers to provide offense. Just look at how well Kuokanen and Sharangovich were playing in the second half of last season and compare that to what little they've done this season with Hughes injured. It's night and day. This kid is a rising superstar. All due respect to Suzuki, Pettersson, and others, Hughes creates offense at an elite level. The numbers will come. A+ signing.

Forum: NHLTue. at 4:35 p.m.

Thread: what direction will a new habs management take?

This team desperately needs a forward who can drive offense and create scoring opportunities. Until they get one, they'll be mediocre at best. My advice would be, stay patient and build through the Draft. They already have some nice young pieces in place w/ Suzuki and CC. Don't trade any 1st/2nd round picks. Look at how quickly the Rangers and Leafs turned the corner. Habs just need a little luck and a management team that looks more than 6 months down the road.

With Nate Bastian back with the Devils, they essentially got a free pass for the Expansion Draft. I know it didn't work out for him in Seattle, but he's an integral part of the Devils 4th line and PK. Getting him back for free is a nice W. And, of course, he scored a goal last night against the overrated Flyers.

Will Evander Kane actually play in the AHL? What happens if he tears it up? Will he be recalled? Not sure what the gameplay is, but Doug Wilson is gonna have a really tough issue on his hands. If he's not planning on bringing him back to the Sharks, shouldn't he just buy out his contract? What a mess.

Murray was an integral part of 2 Cups. Nobody can ever take that away from him. But, if he couldn't hack it playing behind a superior Pens defensive system, I don't know why anyone thought he'd be good in OTT. And, anyone who thinks he's getting claimed by EDM (or anyone else) with that cap hit (or any cap hit over $2M for that matter) is kidding themselves.

Yeah they're undoubtedly catering to the American tv audience with most businesses (non-retail) closed today. I don't get it, though. So many people are out shopping today for Black Friday. Should've scheduled a few of the afternoon games for tonight to balance things out.

Bo Horvat went 7 straight games w/o a point before scoring a meaningless, garbage-time goal vs. PIT on Wednesday. VAN won only once during that stretch, getting outscored by 16 goals (by 19G if you include Wed night).

Pettersson has 1 point in his last 7 games. He's minus-7 during that stretch. He's been invisible offensively all season, except for a 3-point game vs. DAL on 11/7.

Boeser has gone 7 games w/o a point. Last season, he scored 23G in 56 games; a 34G pace over 82 games.

This team desperately needs a major shakeup. Yes, they're saddled with some terrible contracts. But, their stars are underperforming by epic proportions. Heads need to roll. This roster is certainly good enough to at least be in serious contention for the playoffs.
