What are we supposed to talk about here?

You locked the salary cap thread and TDL thread so...?

Nevermind, I see them at the top.

 

[Tender Rip]

Lets hope we can soon talk about how confidence is a hell of a drug.

The most affordable and realistic improvement we can make is for some of the players having been shitty to revert to their better selves.

Especially Letang. Just noticed he is a -16 on the year holy moses

How're we feeling about Jarry?

 

[DesertedPenguin]

How're we feeling about Jarry?

Just hoping he can stack wins until he gets hurt again.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

How're we feeling about Jarry?

I dunno what there is to feel. He's the starter, and you just gotta hope he stays healthy.

Not stoked to see the team hand him like a 6-year, $40 million deal this summer, but also realize that realistically, this team isn't gonna look for an alternative. They're not gonna chance letting him walk just to end up with some disappointing FA schlub along the lines of Grubauer and Campbell.

Why’s the trade thread locked?

Never mind. I see a new one was started.

 

[Andy99]

How're we feeling about Jarry?

Not good…even if he plays well, should the team re-sign him with his hips? I hope they’re looking for a 1B goalie with term on the trade market…

Oh....Boy!

[WickedWrister]

With McGinn and Friedman waived, do we have enough cap space to call up any of Puustinen/Smith?

Looks like I answered my own question:

 

[gopens66]

Hextall with that much cap space and a first round pick to trade terrifies me..........

5.5 is just enough room for Patty Kane @ 50%

 

[SomeDude]

What do you think the Rags want for him?

 

[dogthateats]

I doubt the Rangers trade him

Oh come on. The trade happened like 5 minutes before my post. I hadn't refreshed. I blame this on Sleepy.

Either way they are probably looking to push Rust to the bottom 6.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

It is what it is
Jake-Sid-Raks
DOC/Poehling/Heinen-Geno-Rust
Zucker-Granlund-Carter
DOC/Poehling/Heinen-DOC/Poehling-Archibald

wait, that would asinine. Zuck-Geno-Rust has been one of the best lines in all of the NHL.

In possession, chances and expected goals you mean right?
In actual goals they are 19 for, 18 against.

They are a whatever 2nd line.

Jake - Sid - Rak are +8 on the other hand. Actual good top six line.

 

[HandshakeLine]

What the f*** is this team doing? Ron, buddy, what the hell?

 

[BusinessGoose]

Okay-Great-Very Good

 

[Pancakes]

What the f*** is this team doing? Ron, buddy, what the hell?

I think 99% of the board thinks this and the 1% that doesn't is just hoping against hope that this deal somehow makes an ounce of sense .

Rare to see this board this unanimous about something.

Maybe Granlund surprises us all, but this looks so bad.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Yeah, like I get the wisdom in letting it play out and it didn't really cost us anything, but man, is it ever a dumb move as the roster currently stands. Just makes zero iota of sense.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Think of a great line up.

Now do the opposite. That’s what we will get.

 

[Zbynek]

Hextall guts half the offense for one big move and that move is Mikael Granlund
