Around the League 2018-19

Never mind. I see he was then traded to Florida.

It's actually more awkward because he flipped Hoffman back into the East and got a better return than he paid Ottawa, then fleeced them again for Karlsson and leveraged the flipping into the East into a conditional pick instead of a straight up pick.

Players secretly believe the Sabres and Coyotes will make the play-offs. That means 2 teams will not make the play-offs. Could be the Jets and the Caps.

Actually, the Caps are still so hung over from winning last season, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they miss the playoffs.

Yep, I expect the Caps to hit quite a wall next season. Especially Ovy. He's such an emotional player, not getting any younger and has done everything he could now in this league. I think it will be a rather quiet season by his standards.

I don't blame those players for wanting to keep that a secret. That sounds like an HF hot take.

not sure if it was mentioned in here, but in case nobody saw this - you likely will not need to worry about the Hawks this year, our amazing head coach has said that "Kunitz will be playing on the top line with Toews until someone else can take his spot".....yep, this is what we are dealing with in Chicago. Happy to help in whatever way we can to your quest to the Cup my friends!!!

That sounds like a great strategy, if it's still 2013 in Chicago...

 

[robertocarlos]

I'm worried about NJ. They are taking on the Rangers AND Montreal at the same time.

That’s what you get for fleecing us on the Ladd trade.

yeah, Hawks are a team that the Leafs should pay attention to. having two $10 mil players is fire.
i don't see the hawks doing much. maybe competing with the Flames and Kings for the playoffs?
Arizona won't be a playoff team. no confidence in that.

 

[HannuJ]

think there's talk that Poolparty might not make the Oilers this year??

He hasn't put it together yet. I don't get why they wouldn't just keep putting speedy ELC guys (like poolparty) with McDavid, and let him bounce pucks off them into the net. Works for Crosby.

VGK survived MGM and then executed the AVS on the PP. Stastny could have been a Jet.

Less than 700 people in attendance for Florida game
Panthers set embarrassing new low in attendance for preseason game against Preds

This should come as no surprise. The ONLY reason the Jets have decent attendance during pre-season is because STHs are forced to buy those games. Give us the option... and see how few people actually pay to watch pre-season. It would look like a friends and family only event.

Also a 3pm Monday game double header split squad. Lol

Yeah, i mean it's low but it's preseason. Nothing counts in preseason. I wouldn't go to a 3PM Monday preseason game...

Starting to feel like Edmonton might not be the best place for these young kids..
But at least they got him an English teacher now, it only took them 2 years to figure that out

I dunno. I think it depends on price-point. If the Jets really discounted pre-season games, I bet they would sell.
