Around the NHL - 2023/24 Season

Posted same 2 threads below. I think at 25%- why not, assuming he clears.

Kuzmenko Kuznetsov Sharan

Nice pile of assets in 2025 if they play well!

That could be the worst defensive line in NHL history

2025 draft is stronger than this year's

The Preds are absolutely rolling

Maybe we should start concentrating on Vegas instead of Predators.

Predators will make the PO.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Caps waived Kuznetsov

Should we take a flier?

f*** it why not?

He'd fit right in with this pack of hyenas.

Let’s go to playoffs.

I think so too, I think he's a better fit for us than Kuzmenko, mostly because he's a centerman. I'd jump all over a Kuz for Kuz deal is we got a pick or prospect for eating the extra 2.3m. Maybe with Rango and Huby, he could turn things around and get us a good return at the deadline.

One game at a time....don't have to worry about Nashville right now. Who knows, they could followup with a 10 game losing streak!
Just beat the Krakken!

Next 6 games is Seattle/Tampa/Florida/Carolina/Colorado/Vegas

Pretty much the stretch that’s going to make or break the season. The schedule is actually incredibly soft the rest of the way after those 6 games

It’d also be incredibly on brand to win 5 of those 6 then drop 4 in a row to like Zona and Anaheim and whoever though

Once Hanifin is gone, we're f***ed.

We don't win more than 5 games the rest of the year once we start that next road trip

Seen it play out that way too many times....

Please beat the Kings today NJ!

Matthew Phillips waived by Pittsburgh

Stankoven with 4 points tonight 2G/2A
God damnit

Yeah, who was the scout that advised to pick Stromgren ahead of this guy
.yikes



Wow, last 9 games, 1 A, -5, didn't play any PP today....off the cliff

You know he’s a guy that flames scouts would have presumably seen play 100 times too. The fact he was even still on the board at our pick in the 2nd round is insane and they still went with Stromgren

Passing on Kucherov when they were apparently high on him is what immediately comes to mind but at least they got Gaudreau in that draft

Yeah on the Blazers with Zary. We really dropped the ball there

Lot of fans weren’t happy about it either. Seems the team had a size queen moment.

 

[User1996]

And there are still arguments about betting on skill or size after the 1st. Interesting…

Except that being from the 2021 draft, they wouldn't have seen him 100s of times and they'd have done much of their scouting via video because of the circumstances around the world and even then viewings were extremely limited. I think literally every team in the NHL deserves a pass on the 2021 draft.

Tarasenko at full retention for a bag of pucks. Conroy has done well with his trades this season

Agree. If it'd been a "normal" year it's really unlikely guys like Stank or Johnston end up being available where they were because they would've been scouted much more heavily. You can see this in the inverse with some of the selections where it was really obvious the following year that those guys should not have been 1st round selections.

Waiting to trade Hanifin is going to bite us in the ass. He should've been shipped tf out of here last week.

 

[crackdown44]

I do not understand the Mittlestadt for Byram trade from a Buffalo POV at all
