Feel good
Then feel real bad

I'm loving Ovie. One of the greatest most prolonged Stanley cup celebrations ever. I'll always be a big fan.

Stupid move by the BC player, even if the idiot deserved it. In this day and age, people will sue you just for looking askance at them.

 

[bustamente]

He better hope that Tavares sticks around or he wont be seeing the playoffs for a while, well at least Ladd is still there.

 

[mcpw]

Awesome.

So how will these multi million coaches salaries impact player salaries at the next CBA? I am assuming the players salary will will take a few million dollar hit.

They won't, because of the salary cap structure.

Amazing how things just miraculously fall into place for Lou. That man might be the best GM in "mess" situations. He may not be a great GM trying to rebuild slowly but can't think of many other GMs that can deal with an organisation in chaos as well as Lou. He would fix that mess in Ottawa in 6 months tops. I wouldn't be shocked if by this time next year Ladd's contract is no longer on the Isles' books.

So Calgary does NOT have a pick in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd rounds? Is this a result solely of the Hamonic trade or that and another one? That's pretty much a disaster for the year.

 

[DRW204]

seems like every CGY Dman except Gio is available

EDM moving Talbot when his value is at his lowest, typical Chia

G. Snow playing receptionist for the Isles tonight it seems, Alberta teams be aware lol

They lost their 3rd rounder in the Mike Smith trade. But yes, no picks in the first three rounds this year. Yikes.

A smart GM would have staggered the years when trading a 1st and 2nd round pick, that is just insane. I'm glad we didn't end up landing him a few years ago.

1st and 2nd gone in the Hamonic deal, 3rd gone in acquiring Smith. Nothing wrong with the latter, but boy, did the Hamonic deal bite them.

Also, I still have no answer to why Calgary did not make the playoffs this year.

 

[DRW204]

The Hamonic trade was truly awful. Mike Smith was good for them up until the last month or so when the whole team decided to stop giving a shit . The team had a bad year, IMO need to move one of their Dmen (prospects or roster player) for a top 6 F

 

[bustamente]

Hamonic is supposedly on the market, buyer beware he's not that good and Calgary has to regretting that trade, the Jets if you believe the past rumours dodged a bullet.

 

[ps241]

Rasmus Andersson from Calgary please. They need depth scoring so I think Armia for Andersson would be very good for both teams.

On second thought I think the reason their is talk of moving Hamilton or Hammer is they probably think Andersson is ready to go.

 

[HannuJ]

.

Also, I still have no answer to why Calgary did not make the playoffs this year.

Because their forwards are pretty putrid. If Walt Jr is arguably in your top 5 forwards, I think you have a problem

 

[mcpw]

So we have Skinner, Pacioretty, Severson, Simmonds, Grubauer, and literally every single Senators player except Cody Ceci. Gonna be a fun few hours.

 

[DRW204]

have a feeling COL is gonna make some big moves. lots of trade currency and cap currency.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Have a feeling its all hype like every year. Nothing will happen. Hope something does tho
