GHT120

Since nothing happens when dozens of scouts attend does this mean that a deal is announced as soon as the game is over? 😜

Maybe a trade centred on Dach & Voronkov? Monahan is a name that has often crossed my mind ... but he missed 28 games two years ago and although he played 78 games last season his production dropped significantly ... through in that he has two miore years on his deal and I am very leery. Nichushkin is a tempting combination of size and talent ... his AAV is great if he could be counted on for 70+ games each season but last season was the most games (72) he had played since 2015-16 ... he averaged 51 games in between ... he also has a 12 team NTC so any consideration of him might be a moot point.

What is interesting is that in the off-season the excitement was to see Bryce Pickford, whose debut is delayed by off-season shoulder surgery ... and in many respects there was little excitement over Mittelstadt ... it will be fun to see what The Rocket look like when BP joins the lineup

Yeah, have no hope that is going to happen ... but have to wonder (hope?) that Knies might be unhappy in Columbus or one of the players with whom Bowness is unhappy.

For the right return ANYONE can be traded

And the co-official PR department of the Laffs should know.

Guess Slaf is playing and beck sits.

Assume he pairs with Arber ... or do they "roll the dice" and see how he works with Hutson or Guhle and gets more ice time?

He isn't even ridiculously small for a defenceman ... he is 2' and 25 pounds bigger than Hutson ... of course Lane has a Spidey-sense-like ability to avoid being hit and obviously far more talented overall.

The Canadiens announced 10 days ago that Samuel Montembeault would miss 10 to 14 days of activities due to a lower-body injury ... However, Montembeault hasn't laced up his skates in Brossard yet ... The initial prognosis clearly won't be met ... Eager for a new update from the Habs. I agree with Maxime

The Canadiens have an all-time record of 18-13-1-0 on October 17th.

Minnesota had a few established centres last season ... also Mooney was listed at 5'8", 165 lbs so they may have wanted to focus on his adapting to playing against older players ... he is a gargantuan 175 lbs this season ... it will be interesting to see how much he gets used at centre this season ... but even if he eventually dominates at centre in the NCAA he may just be too small for the position in the NHL ... there are NHL centres of similar stature, but not many ... as is always the case with prospects, only time will tell

At least it's in the western conference ... kidding 🤣

OBVIOUSLY not long-term, but actually it was semi-serious ... his lackadaisical approach after the turnover initiated Ovechkin's breakaway goal very much concerned me ... Suzuki's effort to get back was double that of Slafkovsky ... and it isn't the first time recently that his level of effort has worried me ... with the other three lines playing well, perhaps it's time to get Slaf's attention by putting him down there ... hopefully it only takes a game, maybe two, to get his effort level up.
