Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
Don't care who wins the finals. Vegas is out!
But the Islanders put up such an awesome fight, nothing but respect for them.
But... if I had to cheer for somebody, I'll probably cheer for Tampa considering it'd be the best to see Stamkos win a cup.

I am not the guy you want to be wrong about.
As a Lightning fan I agree, but as stated before, Dallas earned my respect for dispatching f*** vegas!!! I wouldn’t even be upset if they won.
That said, it would be kinda cool if Tampa won because that would make all top 5 selections from the 2008 draft Stanley Cup Champions.
Stamkos, Bogosian and Schenn would be joining Doughty and Pieterangelo!

Seravalli: At least 17 NHL teams have reduced pay amid COVID-19 crunch - TSN.ca
Six of the seven Canadian clubs have reduced the pay of staff members, including team presidents, general managers and coaches, team and league sources have told TSN. The Toronto Maple Leafs are the lone Canadian club to not reduce pay for staff to date.

BOGO has been really good in Tampa. Last night he had a few challenging moments but he is easily the third best Jet D.
Sorry, 4th best Jet D. I forgot about Kuli.
Well, considering you have Kuli as our #3 and Bogo would be our #4, that confirms Chevy has a lot to do with this D this offseason. Neither should be higher than 5 or 6, on a decent d corps.

Amazing what playing with probably the best defenceman in the game right now does for a guy,
Wouldn't it be crazy to dress Booloo or Sbisa as your 7th D man in the SCF? Is Cooper crazy?
Last night a poster wanted to know all the D pairings. The best answer was Hedman and _____.
Yeah Hedman could carry a pylon on a string to a serviceable defencemen. I don't think there is any debate, Hedman is the best defencemen in the NHL right now.
He's at 9 goals now in 19 games, which is tied for 3rd all time with Brad Park and Bobby Orr. 2nd is Leetch with 11 and 1st is Coffey with 12. Hedman will have at least 4 more games to get 3 more goals to tie the record.
The guy is just a monster. He easily goes 1st overall in 09 redraft.
I agree. Bogo was awful in games 5 and 6, but other than that he at least looks like a serviceable bottom pairing guy. Makes stupid plays and is slow, but is physical and still has a good hard shot. Hedman is a huge help.
How did they reduce pay to the GMs and coaches when those people have signed contracts?
Could have been a voluntary reduction? Our company VPs, upper management etc did a voluntary pay reduction over the summer while staff agreed to some reduced hours. We all signed basically a new, temporary contract.
Absolutely, but to his credit Bogosian also isn't forcing plays or taking unnecessary risks. You can see him defer to Hedman on breakouts a lot of the time. He's still good at breaking up a cycle with his physical play but I haven't seen him step up at the line to make a big hit much (so he's no longer playing like a hyper Mark Stuart like he was at the end of his time with the Jets). He's basically their version of Chiarot, who has made a career off of playing a simple physical game supporting a star D partner.
It'll be interesting to see if he can get a contract this off-season though. Maybe Tampa keeps him for league minimum to play beside Hedman again next year.

Well he can afford to play extremely safe with Hedman out there. He's playing a role he couldn't play with another team or partner. Great situation for him there.

Kinda Optimistic
If the Leafs want Pietrangelo they will need to shed a lot of salary, they need to re sign Andersen after the upcoming season and Reilly the year after that and he wont be giving them a home town discount this time around.

Board man gets paid
Take a look at Justin Faulk's HockeyDB for this season if you want to see why Petro is leaving, too. OOF. You hate to see it but good to see the Blues take a step back if he does leave.

As the Leafs are my second team (please don't @ me), there's a lot of talk that they will move on from Andersen, perhaps even this offseason.
