Jerks 100% I'd be happy to see either Sharks or Blues make it to the finals. Would be pretty cool to see Jumbo Joe lift the cup too! I'm also a pretty big Hertl fan

After his playoff surge my thoughts on Suzuki are changing a little. I used to hope he’s pan out to be as good as Tatar, but now I’m wondering if he could be better. what do you guys think his ceiling is? He always struck me equally as a playmaker as a goal scorer. is something like 30 goals 40 assists realistic at his peak?

I see the same thing

Good post. Weak isn’t quite the speedster as Byron, but he is a sneaky pickup same as Byron was a few years back. Something I’ve noticed about liking a player is what you expect of them. If we expect Weal to be a great bottom 6er, we’ll love him. Let’s not expect to much. That’s why people constantly complained about Eller

I have a feeling Suzuki becomes a winger in the NHL. Poehling seems more like a guy who sticks the Center landing to me. Never know though, Suzuki could suppose me, from what I’ve seen of him he seems to have great awareness and hockey IQ

I like it too. Weal has all the elements that fit this habs team. 1.4 mill for two years is great!

Anyone remember a year ago when Weal was with the flyers and there was a buzz about him towards the end of the 17-18 season? Hes a Hab now, and put up 10 in 16 i believe? Imo he’s still underrated. Guy could be a very good 3rd liner. 15-20 goals and near 40 points. I think we can steal him if we offer him the right contract.

Oh, if you’re arguing big money than no. I just mean I think he’s earned a contract, and I wouldn’t be afraid of giving him term either of he wanted it. Just not at a high AAV

I think your nuts if you don’t like Lehkonen haha. He might not have crazy point totals, but he’s an absolute dog on the puck, constantly causing turnovers and outworking his opponents. On top of that the guy still did put up 30 points on usually the 3rd or forth line. Love the player personally.

Any reason for Harley over York, Soderstrom or even Ville Heinola? I think Heinola is underrated.

I think taking Callahan for a year is an excellent idea. What does it take to get Cal Foote?

considering how he's performed in the playoffs, I wouldn't be disappointed either. 13 goals, 20 points, in 10 games. Next closest on his team? 9 points. He could be a late riser. Edit: Looked further into his stats, only ONE of his 13 goals is a PPG, so this guy has 12 even strength goals. I'm seriously excited to see who we can nab at 15.

Chicago the lucky bastards picking top 3

I’ve said it before, I think our chance of getting a very good prospect at 15 is high. I’m a fan of 5-6 players ranked in that area

Lotto odds for the first pick as per NHL.com 2019 Odds (unchanged from 2018) (Non-playoff team - fewest points to most) 1 - 18.5% 2 - 13.5% 3 - 11.5% 4 - 9.5% 5 - 8.5% 6 - 7.5% 7 - 6.5% 8 - 6.0% 9 - 5.0% 10 - 3.5% 11 - 3.0% 12 - 2.5% 13 - 2.0% 14 - 1.5% 15 - 1.0%

God wouldn’t that be nice

Tonight the fate of NHL franchises change! Will the Candiens luck into one of the top 2 picks? Will the Sens gift the Avalanche a lotto winner? I believe the draft happens 8:00 ET, and is usually a pretty dull 30 minutes of warmup proceeded by a nail biting 2 minutes of reveals. Stay tuned!

What my picks look like ^ Edit: damn I don’t think that rendered

Kaapo Kakko, he’s drawing comparisons to Barkov and even Peter Forsberg. Rated right behind Jack Hughes in the upcoming draft, but i’m one of the minority who like Kakko over Hughes.

In all honesty, I think we could nab a real gem with the 15th assuming we don’t win the lotto. But god would that 1-2 pick be nice.. theres about a 2% chance of getting one of those 2 though.

And Romanov Oh and Kakko

Funniest post I’ve seen in a while ?

Agreed, give him one game to show what he needs to prepare for next season.

Columbus can now get just 1/4 points while we beat TO in order to make the playoffs.
