wow, leafs really are trying to think of ways to get out of upgrading that Campbell 3rd into a 2nd.

Toffoli will have another 30 goal season wherever he plays in the future. Something about the Kings not sure how to explain it.

If Kreider gets 6.5, what does Toffoli get? Minimum 6?

probably $5.5-$6 per X 5-6 years

I really despise the New York Rangers. They're easily my most hated eastern team.

 

[Brodeur]

But Crawford isn't your future. Isn't Lehner younger?

Seems odd that the Islanders only had mild interest in retaining Lehner last offseason too. It might be a buyer's market for goalies this summer with the expansion draft looming. Vancouver's in a tough spot with whether to extend Markstrom since that would mean having to expose/trade Demko. Couple other teams have similar dilemmas.

There was that rumor that came out of left field regarding the Islanders trading Ilya Sorokin to the Blackhawks, but Darren Dreger retracted that.

All I took away from the is that Travis Green is fat Dean Lombardi.

Yeah I would imagine someone will pay Toff that much. Young and a decent scorer.

 

[kovacro]

Carolina did some good work at the deadline, but they did not address the goalie position which you would have figured was a priority for them.

Lehner would have been a nice fit there.

The Washginton Capitals will beat the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Finals and Ovi will hand the cup to Kovalchuk first.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

This is probably the least watched NHL season for me since I started following hockey in the early 2000s.

The Avalanche are not impressive. They lost to us and just barely beat the f***ing Sabres.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

The Avalanche are not impressive. They lost to us and just barely beat the f*cking Sabres.

They also have a shit ton of injuries, they get a healthy roster, they are one of the top teams in the West....

I thought the Sabres played well tonight and were unlucky to not get out of Colorado with at least a point. They have been playing better recently.

Maybe, not really the analogy you were going for though, I think.

Hey, feel free to think the Avs are shit.....I mean, you'd be dead wrong...but go ahead and feel free to be wrong....

I didn’t say the Avs “are shit”. I don’t give a flying f*** to argue with you so this is the last thing I’m gonna say on this subject. Nobody gives a shit what a team can do “if healthy” because being healthy is >>>>>>>> than having the most amazing IR team on paper that ever lived. Prime example: the 2012 LA Kings.

No shit, but tell me, how impressive can a team be without it's #1RW, #2 C, #2LW, #1 G, # 3LW, etc, yea, injuries happen, but like I said, make the mistake of thinking the Avs aren't impressive.....That's like saying the Pens aren't impressive when Crosby, Malkin and Letang were out....

 

[KingsFan7824]

Despite whatever injuries Colorado may have, or have had, they have the 2nd best regulation W/L ratio in the league. They're 21-5-3 against the Pacific and Atlantic, and just 16-13-4 against the much more competitive Central and Metro divisions, but even with a loss against the Kings, they're getting the job done on the ice in the big picture.

The Kings are 6-3 in OT, while the Avs are 3-6. That 3v3 OT; it can be quite random.

That colorado - washington game (maybe it was last week?) was great and i thought in my head that it could be a cup final. It would be a great series that I could get into without liking either team.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Knights have won 7 in a row while Marty has been a 'revelation'

Vegas has won 7 in a row

Ya, still weird....

Makar vs Carlson
MacKinnon vs Ovi
Burakovsky/Grubauer vs there former team

That final would include a ton of russians as well. (Ovechkin, Kovalchuk, Orlov, Kuznetsov, Samsonov, Namestnikov, Kamanev, Zadorov, Nichushkin)
