2024/2025 Around the League

[PAZ]

They are lucky only if their 2025 pick becomes better than Demidov.

They wanted Demidov to eventually play with Bedard.

There's a very high likelihood it's a top 2 pick, and a guarantee it's a top 3-4 pick. Demidov is a good prospect, but I'd put money on whoever is the best of Martone/Schaefer/Hagens/Misa have a bigger and sooner impact than Demidov.

Shand O'Brien would probably trade Quinn Hughes if a dispute between Hughes and Filip Hronek ever emerged.

He absolutely would. I find it funny that he’s essentially siding with management when he himself had one of the most public fallouts with the Canucks.

Don't put too much money on that, especially not the sooner part.

Demidov will be in the NHL next year and he's actually better than Michkov was in his D+1 year in the KHL.

Imagine Montreal had balls and took both Russians.

So if you do that while skating away from the net it's suspension worthy, but if you do it in front of the net it's all cool? Mmmk

Rangers to JT Miller. I knew the Rags were not playing well, but moving the whole franchise to JT Miller seems excessive.

Canucks are without Hughes, without Pettersson and now without Demko. Also Miller clearly not 100%

You win Cups with players like Miller, but he also comes across as an emotional tool as well. No doubt he's the hothead causing the riff, but I don't think alot of that is misplaced. He just wants to win, which is what I get, but going after EP40 every time seems like the wrong solution.

Like him but not actually him.

He's led his teams to so many Cups I can't even count them on one hand!

Maybe the NHL should stop worrying about other sports and focus on their own thing? Should've played on New Years Day like previously.

They also probably shouldn't have two bottom 10 teams in the Winter Classic either.

Or move it to a random Saturday in mid-January when all you have to worry about is mid-season college basketball games

Or get rid of the outdoor games entirely. The quality of hockey sucks.

This.

Don't play any meaningful games outdoors.

I propose the All-Star Game and Skills Competition should be outdoors. You let the nostalgia and stuff happen for a meaningless game. Also get to appreciate every team's "classic" jerseys as each team would/should have a representative.
