Around the NHL - 2018 Stanley Cup Champions, the Washington Capitals

[UAGoalieGuy]

That's not too bad if you ask me. The condition for that pick should have also been in McD reupped.

Good, we made it to the last page of this thread. Let's close it and start a new one. I'm not great with titles, but it should be something like Around the NHL - Winter is Coming.

Later Johnny!

Can't wait for Leafs fans to be infinitely more insufferable than they already are.

Meh at least we never have to hear about Tavares being the real "king" of New York anymore

 

[Captain Lindy]

We dodged a bullet. Good move to trade him by Gorts.

Tavares on Isles fans being upset: "I didn't expect people to be thrilled."

I totally agree. Re-up OR Stanley Cup.

Would have had to be a 2020 pick then

[kovazub94]

Two forwards signed and looking at their projected lineup it still feels like every forward after Tarasenko is pegged too high than where they should be on a contender.

 

[NikC]

So what is our plan this summer trade wise?

Feels like its straight up tanktime

This team will be bad for a long, long time. Not sure how the baby king is going to handle this

If by a long, long time you mean a year or two, then yeah.

I think buffalo robbed them. Then again I think r.o.r. is super overrated

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Even if ROR is overrated, they didn't give up that much. A late first, a late second, a prospect like Thompson whose not even that good. Those picks/prospects are no more than we got for Stepan. And the rest is balancing it out with some third line forwards that St. Louis doesn't need.

The big difference is that Stepan was traded for a top-10 pick. ROR is traded for a first that can be anything and, realistically, is a late 1st rounder. Stepan vs ROR is quality vs quantity

I read the Wings were looking at bringing Filppula because Zetterberg may not play this season because of a bad back. He got a NMC too.

So the Isles future dynasty lasted for all of two weeks.

Pretty impressive.

Now we have to hear about the Leafs "dynasty" until the end of time. Seriously, some of the stuff their fans are saying on the main board is just insane.

You know what would be hilarious? Habs sneak in on the back of a Price bounce back, then Price dominates the Leafs in round 1.

Leafs fans are really obnoxious. I bet if we had played them in the playoffs like we did with MTL or if they were in our division, you'd be posting the exact opposite.

Maybe, but I don't know. Montreal fans are still talking about Kreider being a big meanie who purposely hurt Price.

Not at the moment. The pendulum has swung. Montreal fans are pitiable at the moment, Leafs fans are starting to become the cancer. A loss to Montreal in the first round would humble the shit out of em.
