Dobes is nothing short of our Jordan Bennington. GLORIA GLORIA GLOOORIIIIAAAAA !!!

Catching up on this long unread thread. How aggressive would you be for Brock Neslson when July 1st comes ? Plays on the PK, scores goals, good vet who doesn't seem like a trouble maker at all. Seems like a great fit, no ?

I'm not bringing DeAngelo anywhere near our locker room.

While I don't consider Monty to be a top goalie in the NHL, the disrespect for him is huge.

That goal for me, is what will define Lane Hutson's career. In each and every team, you probably have 4-5 dmen who would have dumped that puck in the corner. Then you maybe have one who would have tried holding on to it and make a play. Some would have failed, some would have succeeded. But very few would have succeeded to make a play of that caliber, setting up a full speed teammate who's gonna end up scoring because of that.

Yeah. Sometimes, you're in your car and gets distracted by recent fights or arguments you just had with your wife. Now, imagine with multiple wives...

hehehehe

Pierre Lebrun saying on air that the Devils have Jake Evans on a 10-12 players list as targets for trade deadline.

Rangers had a Cup window with King Henrik back when Kreider hurt Price and they missed it. And now missing on a 2nd window with their aging core and Shesterkin. Won't cry if Kreider retires without winning it all.

But would Pitt's 2nd be enough of a softener ? Getting Savard + a mid 2nd for your potentially late first, not that bad for a team in win now mode.

In 2021, Casey Cizikas signed a 6 years contract with the NYI at 2.5M$ AVV when he was 30yo and the cap was at 81M$ (3% of cap space). I think we can agree that given the fact that Evans is a righ handed center, we should expect at least 4% of the projected 92M$ salary cap for a player in that role after a season like this (even if, for now, it's a carreer season). That is 3.68M$ per year. Add the "Quebec tax factor" and we're talking about something like 3,75M$ for 6 years, bringing him to 35yo. Now... should we hope for Beck to be able to step up in Evans position sooner than later on much less money when our window opens up ?? That is the question IMO.

What about adding to Savard to get a first rounder back ? We have 3x 3rd picks and Pitt's 2nd round pick if I'm not mistaken.

After this weekend, no matter how Barron turns out in Nashville, big props to Hughes for pulling that off.

for a sorry ass jersey number

Yep. I was not a fan of the idea at first, but it's growing on me now. The NHL needs to put a stop to falling back in your own zone in OT. Like the NBA, can't fall back beyond the red line with puck control. ASAP.

Gomez was the one of the best Habs in the last 20 years when it comes to enter the zone with the puck at high speed... but only for one season...

I rembember some great analysis from BTH too. JLP was funny. So was Pierre the Great, hein Brian ?

I like that. The way Josh plays, North-South Hit and Grind, his size and, especially speed, make him an obvious pick for the PK duty. I wonder why he was not on the PK more when he started in Montreal. Maybe because we saw him as a 25 goals player because of 1 good season in Columbus...

This is the line I was dreaming of when we aquired Laine, thinking all 3 would have an amesome season. 😅 It is a combo that has a lot of weight, that SHOULD be really tough to play against if it ever clicks.

I wouldn't bring Evander Kane into this locker room even for a minute. It would be a trade followed by an immediate buy out or nothing for me.

Told my gf exactly the same during the PP. The game would/could have been much different if Matheson wouldn't have hit the post (again). Imagine ####ing up the Bruins 100th anniversary coming back 1-5 to win it 6-5.

I also don't like giving a 1st + Barron for a prospect alone. I'd have considered trying Barron + CGY 1st for Jiricek and a 2nd, but I believe Columbus don't currently own a 2nd pick.

13 shots hein ? Glad I skipped this one.

Let's be honest. At least 2 members of all lines should practice faceoffs on a regular basis as C ALWAYS get booted by the linemen.

Ovechkin got hurt yesterday, seems to be to one of his knees. Hope it's not too serious.
