we basically have to protect everyone that is currently in the NHL
Hall
Hischier
Bratt
Palmieri
Wood
Zacha
Zajac (still under contract at that point for 1 year, so who knows)
Vatanen
Severson
Butcher
Schneider (I know I know)
If we do happen to resign Grabner, Maroon or Mojo in the next off season or next, they better not have no movement clauses.We got lucky only losing Jon Merrill last time. Not like we left anyone that good unprotected though.
then we'll have to pay out for them. job security, i think, enables a player to take a discount on payIf we do happen to resign Grabner, Maroon or Mojo in the next off season or next, they better not have no movement clauses.
Too bad we can’t sign DSP judg fl expose him!If we do happen to resign Grabner, Maroon or Mojo in the next off season or next, they better not have no movement clauses.
let's start making our protected lists now. Next time we will definitely lose someone of quality...unless we pull a side deal.

eh NMC don't really bother me. those are less about saying 'we can't trade you' and more about saying 'we don't want you here and we want to trade you. give us 10 teams you'd be willing to waive for'.
bump his trade value down artificially
Flyers gain another third-rounder like weeks after the trade deadline...I guess this is some college kid the Flyers couldn't sign?
Kind of a random thought, but you know what city I’m surprised we never heard about as an expansion/relocation city? Milwaukee. Wisconsin is a big hockey state. Milwaukee already has the MLB and NBA. It’s pretty close to Chicago, within 100 miles. Maybe that’s why? Everybody is a Hawks fan there already? I’m just surprised to always hear of cities like Houston and Kansas City more than there.
That actually makes sense, that it's because Milwaukee isn't a huge market like Houston is.People from Wisconsin loathe Chicago sports teams from what I understand.
I think they would certainly be able to support a team, but it seems like the NHL's primary interest right now is locking down all the big TV markets. Right now, Houston would likely take the first expansion team after Seattle or the Coyotes relocating.
It looks like Milwaukee is about to finish a brand new arena within a year. If that arena is suitable for NHL, that could be a major boost to them potentially owning a franchise. I still think they would need to be one of the only options at the perfect time like Winnipeg was for Atlanta for it to happen.
I don't think we'll see NHL hockey in Atlanta again, not in our lifetime.Milwaukee would be a good choice.
QC of course too.
Houston has a huge population spread out around a large area.
I don't think KC is a good option .
The NHL should never go back to ATL though.

It sucks because I would travel to Atlanta to see the Devils, but I'd need to stay overnight. It's a haul from here. It's not a day trip like Sunrise. We used to have a lot of poor losses to the Thrasers too, so we might have stunk if they still had a team there.
I'm trying to think of what year that was. Had to be early 00's, like between 2000 and 2004. I remember the Pittsburgh 9-0 win, where McKay and Madden each had 4 goals.I remember us winning there 9-0 though, when we had strong leadership and solid defense and goaltending .

I'm gonna look that one up on hockey reference.
That didn't take long
March 10th of 2000. Madden and Pandolfo each had 2 goals a piece. Stevens, Elias, Nemchinov, Rafalski, Gomez with the others.
All I did was go back to Marty's game logs starting with the 99-00 season (Atlanta's first in the league) and filtered his shutout games. He had 2 shutouts over Atlanta that year. The other being a 6-0 win at home on March 31st of 2000. Later that month.
Those were the days! The Rangers spent $85 million or something and a bunch of superstars, only to keep missing the playoffs every year!It was either 1999-2000 or 2000-2001 but I remember housing TBL pretty good a few times in about a month.
I had the weekend partial plan and remember these two meathead Rags fans had the same plan and sat directly behind me.
They must have bought the plan since two Rags games were included.
They were rooting for TB loudly in the opening minutes but had nothing to cheer about that game or the next since we beat them like 6-0 and then 5-0.
I turned around and just laughed at them at some point since all they did was talk trash about the Devils in between chugging beers , but one of them said something like Man Tampa Sucks loudly during a point in the game when everyone else was quiet.
Ironically the Rags were almost as bad if not worse.
Does anyone have any incite on Adam Mascherin, a 2016 LW drafted at 38th for Fla who says he wont sign this year? Going back into the draft if Fla cant move him. Seems like an opportunity for Ray.
Seems like other than being on the smaller side and a lefty, he is worth looking at
