Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

They're not even at risk of that - they had $63 mil committed for next season even before this and even if they didn't they could just take Hossa off IR. It's crazy.

Was sure you would include "Kill The Cap"

Well, Benning found Petterson in the 5-hole, that looks to have worked out okay thus far.

He hasn't scored in 4 games

What the fuck?

So, did Chris think the Theodore deal was weird because...you know...he played only 6 more games and got a million bucks more a year... 1 million more per game I guess....

It's a fair thought but Theodore's production has been much better than Chychrun's, particularly last season considering Shea was pretty much turfed at the start of it. Their peripherals don't do much for Chychrun's value, either.

Of course, I'm all for defenceman contracts continuing to skyrocket - eventually, someone is going to think Zaitsev is a damn bargain.

The goaltending coach for the University of Manitoba Bisons is serving as the emergency backup for the Capitals tonight. Holtby is not available.

I love these things when they happen .

Paul Martin Announces Retirement

Guess the market for old slow defensemen dried up and had the thrill of playing for the Penguins after the 2009 and before 2016 cups.

Was this written by Damien Cox?

Oh wait. EDM > TOR because the Leafs are trading Matthews. Makes sense now.

It may be that this is a super special important ranking but personally I've never heard the expression "core 4" in my life, let alone "core 4 under 24". Is it a Fortnite thing maybe?

This is horribly written.

I'll just use my team as an example. They have Colin White ranked 8th in their system with no games played and no points this year.

Problem is that he actually has 11 points in 18 games and has been terrific. Batherson and Lajoie have been excellent but White is looking like the real deal at the NHL level. They say that Tkachuk is the only "known commodity" in the Snes prospects. Really? Thomas Chabot is much more of a blue chipper than Tkachuk (who has been very good, but c'mon).

Some of the write-ups for other teams are pure amateur hour too. It's like they borrowed Hockey Buzz's staff for some of these.

It was similar to the Matheson hit on Dekey Pete, but it was more of a "hockey play" in my opinion rather than throwing a guy down to the ice.

Not as bad as Matherson. I'd still deem it unnecessary though. Give him the gate for a game.
