After my Go Leafs Go over the Bruins, here is another very unpopular opinion of mine. Out of these two options, which one would you pick ? A) Habs win the Cup in 2028. Until then, Oilers, Jets and Canucks all win a Cup as well. B) Habs win the Cup in 2028. In the meantime, any USA based teams win all the Cups until 2028. I pick A) all day.

Did Atos Koivu move in the rankings since Christmas ?

I'm 40 yo. I've never seen the Leafs have any success, I've never been upset at the Leafs for beating us. I will never understand the hate until they elimintate us. This is why I want them to clear Boston. Once this is done, they can get beaten by anyone else, but I don't want the Bruins anywhere near another Stanley Cup.

There is some crazy talk in this thread. GO LEAFS GO in round 1. F**K Boston !!! And then, go whoever will face the Leafs in round 2. F**K the Leafs !!!

The 2nd year is already a (light) red flag for me.

thanks

I don't get where this 0.3% comes from for 3rd overall... Anyone ?

Have a look at the 3rd goal from Slaf yesterday and tell me RHP doesn't deserve an assist. This goal was all because of him. Point is, RHP does enough to be in the conversation for 4th line/13th.

We won the division and finished 2nd in the East, 4th overall in the league that year. Beat the Bruins in round 1 and got eliminated by Philly (and R.J. Umberger) in 5 games in round 2.

Of course the Devils would not be able to take advantage of the NYR losing Miller and Trouba after 2 seconds of play. What a shitty season for them.

Annual game with my 6yo. I want a win... but I don't want the points in the standings

It's a little dissapointing that the two lottery advancement slots are not limited to your own pick.

Talk about an unlikely win !!!😐

I don't mind one bit if medias and fans expect/hope Hudson turns into a Q. Hughes. If we're able to get a Torey Krug level of player with Hudson, that would be a fantastic 2nd round pick.

Ok makes sense now

wth is that ? % of what ?

The "supposed" BPA is maybe not the same one as Hughes and his crew have on their list.

Read something about Slaf this weekend. He'd have worked closely with Glen Tucker, aka Dr. Shot. Tucker is known from working with such names as Pastrnak, Bergeron, Eichel, etc. Article said that Pasta didn' have that good of a shot/release when he started in the NHL. Just like Slaf it seems.

Legit concerns earlier this season as they were supposed to go with Vanecek (somewhat proven, Jake Allen caliber) and Akira Schmid who had taken over the #1 role during last year's playoffs (à la Adin Hill). Both have been very dissapointing this season though with under .900 sv%. Nico Daws as well. Maybe I'm alone on this, but for me, the Devils are clear cut #1 bust this season around the league. Of course they lost Hamilton after only 20 games and Jack Hughes as well as Hischier both missed time too, but 24th overall ?!?! I had them contending for the Metro before season started.

No more retaining spot.

2 post for Suzuki and 1 for Caufield though. Could have been much different for the first line.

I seem to remember that you had Mysak as a fringe 1st rounder at the time and that you were excited about this pick. Sucks that it didn't pan out.

Nothing straight up, but since it's Walker + 5th for Johansen + 1st, maybe the Avs would have settled for Savard + 3rd/late 2nd instead. But I guess, they'd probably be more interested in the dman they get than the value in the pick along with him.

Would have loved the Habs to do the Walker deal for Johansen + 1st.

LOL I guess... 🤷‍♂️
