Around the League 2017-18 Edition

[AngelDuck]

Vegas will regress and finish the season in the bottom 5 of the league

LA is wrecking the Leafs, and I'm okay with that.

Haha, came here to say the exact same thing. Go LA!

Apparently it's illegal to have your stick near the hands of another player.

Yeah that was a BS call.

I’m also ok with the Kings destroying the Leafs.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Kings actually look really good this year, a lot more exciting to watch than in previous years also.

 

[Kalv]

Well Nashville just got a hell of a lot better

Samuelis Broadcom is bidding 130 billion for Qualcom. That would be the biggest tech acquisition ever. Not accepted yet though

Keepcom and carry on.

Keepcom and carry on.

Wasn`t sure where to put that info, ha.

If the purchase goes through, I hope we celebrate by somehow signing Tavares.

No idea how that would work out financially, BTW. Just spitballin' that's all.

Cap space would be the issue. Would have to trade Perry or Kesler.

I thought he sold Broadcom to some Asian company a couple of years ago. He still is the CTO.

The Ducks free up money by Cogliano & Bieksa being free agents.
Even with that I think they'd for sure have to trade Vatanen for a return of just prospects & picks to avoid taking on any new salary.

Gibson will be making a minimum of 6 million in a couple years

Gibson will be making a minimum of 6 million in a couple years

If he manages to stay healthy on a regular basis.

If he manages to stay healthy on a regular basis.

Honestly I don't think it matters. I think he can average 45 games per season the next 2 years and if he produces like he has some GM will give him that money. He'll be 26 years old and worth the gamble for some team who has gotten terrible goaltending.

I could be wrong here but I think he's a UFA when his current deal is up

Well, I agree that if he plays all year at the same level as he has started, he will definitely move into the upper echelon of goalies. I certainly hope he does, but only time will tell. It would be a good problem to have.

On a related note, as much as we all want great goaltending, I just don't think any team benefits from pay goalies a huge amount of money. That never seems to work out well.

Actually he's still RFA, eligible for arbitration, after his current contract.

Is anyone watching this Sens/Avs game....the person that sung the national anthem was basically naked....

Sweden seems like a cool place to live...

 

[Dryish]

None of the American fear of nudity in the Nordics. In fact, I sit with most of my family in a hot room stark naked on a weekly basis and have seen most extended family that way as well. Ain't no thang.

 

[Lupul1990]

I wonder if the Ducks are going to play in Sweden sometime in the next couple seasons, given how many Swedes we have on the roster.

That's weird

Kings seem to be getting teams on the 2nd game of back to backs.

They are playing Boston tonight.
