  1. Starting to wonder. Man would that be cool. This would suddenly be a Howie draft
  2. I think I'm completely alone here, but i don't view comparison to Johanson as a compliment.
  3. I really like this kid. I really thought they'd go Pellikka there, but they picked one of my favorites in the draft. I was starting to hope he'd inexplicably fall to 22.
  4. What the hell is Arizona doing? I actually really like the defenseman they drafted but they could have used #6 for someone else and waited until #12 for him Or round 2
  5. Go talk to every single fan personally and report back in 20 minutes
  6. The sad thing is this is actually a video. Typical Hayes--just standing around
  7. So that was the Yards beer that was tasty? In general, I haven't been a fan of theirs but willing to try more.
  8. I haven't looked at this at all, but has the ballot been published? Who were the four that were supposedly better? Was Draisaitl one of them? I wonder, too, if the thought was (wrongly) that McDavid had Draisaitl while whomever the other four were clearly dominated their team so were more "stand alone" MVPs. I don't agree but could see this being a thought.
  9. Not since March 11, 2023 Chetch Flucker free for 109 days.
  10. What???? Now Ristolainen is going to the Blues? Never happen. It'll violate the NHL's "Chuck broke it, you bought it" policy.
  11. No on the 40 for most of that list, but i get your point that someone who can score would be nice. And at least one defenseman that can play defense.
  12. I'll play. Who on the Golden Knights scored 50 goals? Who on the 2021-22 Avalanche scored 50? Who on the 2020-21 Lightning scored 50? Who on the 2019-20 Lightning scored 50? Who on the 2018-19 Blues scored 50? Ovechkin scored 51 in 2017-18 for the Caps. Who on the 2016-17 Penguins scored 50? Who on the 2015-16 Penguins scored 50? Who on the 2014-15 Black Hawks scored 50? I know surely someone on the 2013-14 Kings scored 50, right? Who on the 2012-13 Black Hawks scored 50? Who on the 2011-12 LA Kings scored 50? I think only one of the above teams scored 40. The 22-23 Oilers had TWO score 50 and one in 21-22. How many finals, let alone Cups? Sorry, just a flagrantly false claim. phlfly claim is suk.
  13. If it's Leonard, I trade back 5 spots or so. He's a middle 6 at best, so i trade back, get some other middle six and and a second rounder for my effort.
  14. Yeah, but I guess what confused me is that Sanheim is reportedly part of the St. Louis deal.
  15. They're RFAs. This is NOT a hockey move; it's an accounting move. Don't be surprised if neither are resigned or are to a minimal contact. These aren't fantasy moves where production is the thing that matters.
  16. This was completely about cap and reducing term. That's it. No other rationale and nothing else to see here. It was not about player or what he could bring. It's so abundantly clear and has to be among the top reasons he doesn't want to come. It has to suck to be traded and know that NEITHER team actually wants you and that you're just a general ledger entry. Seriously, this is Hartnell for Umberger and nothing more. It has nothing to do with Krug and had everything to do with his term vs Hayes & Sanheim's.
  17. We believe in keeping the bar low and accessible.
  18. Seriously asking. It seemed like the TDA deal was dependent upon the St. Louis trade going through. Did the money not work for retaining 50% of TDA without St. Louis? I'm thinking the "snag" with Carolina was somewhere along those lines.
  19. I don't think this was about actually wanting Krug. His term is shorter than Hayes so the idea was the Flyers could get out from the cap hit several years earlier. Aside from not wanting to go to the stink hole that currently is the Flyers, my guess is that Krug also knows he's not actually wanted and that upon his arrival both fans and front office will be counting the days until he leaves. Best case, actually, would be if he were Ellis 2.0 because then we LITR him and don't worry about his cap.
