Putin and Russia invading Ukraine today. Ovechkin a Putin supporter.

Now I hope he fails breaking 99's record.

Still has 133g to catch #99, so will be awhile yet.

Bobby Orr was a trump supporter, let’s take him out of the HOF🙄

Calgary lost 7-1 last night, snapping their winning streak.  As a result, Montreal is now tied for the longest active win streak in the NHL.  (They're tied with Columbus who is using their fourth-string goalie, a guy who hadn't played in almost as long as Hammond.)

Or a "speak no evil" coach ... Laurant Dauphin is getting more icetime since MSL decided to use him

It may be less of a matter of Poehling playing badly, and more of Dauphin playing well (which he certainly has done).

Poehling was given some good icetime before, sees to look good; but just not finishing any.

Perhaps not badly ... but not well enough.

I said it earlier in the year, but I've been impressed by Dauphin. 

 

I don't mind him as a fourth liner going forward. 

Absolutely agree ... all-heart, all-the-time

One player that's not NHL-calibre replacing another player that's not NHL-calibre.  In this case, Pezzetta makes a bit of sense given Calgary's physicality.

what's the projection for Struble and where does he fit on the depth chart?

wouldn't he be higher than Xhekay even if unsigned?

Some of the prospect placement (or lack of placement) on there is a little perplexing.

Yup, Gordin is a bust for one.. not sure how he's even on the chart. 

 

And the order on many of them is weird.

I wanted the Habs to trade for Juolevi a few years ago, now he is waived... bullet dodged or great opportunity to get him for free now? Can he replace Kulak next year if we trade him at the deadline?

I would say the fact that Vancouver gave him away for next to nothing and that Florida is now ready to give him away for nothing is a red flag in terms of his long-term upside.  If Montreal was to move a blueliner for a pick or prospect between now and 2 ET tomorrow, sure, I'd put in a claim.  He's worth a look for free and Laval's pretty banged up defensively right now.  But I wouldn't be penciling him into any future plans beyond this season.  He hasn't shown that he's good enough to replace anyone at this point.

Hes not an NHL player based on his play in vancouver and florida.  He will be 24 in 2 months. 

 

the change of scenery for a former top prospect can sometimes work, but its really rare.  Most busts remain busts.

you are right. This article paints a good picture of how disappointing Juolevi's development has been:

Arizona beat Ottawa 8-5 today.  How in the world did the Coyotes get eight goals on anyone?  Good for them and Nick Schmaltz set a franchise record with seven points in the game.

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day?
