[Dahlicious]

With the 223rd overall pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, the Florida Panthers are proud to select...

...from the Baie-Comeau Drakkar of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League...

Lucas Beckman

@McMozesmadness to finish it up.​

 

[SRHRangers]

Utah is looking to add a winger. Have futures, including all my picks in 2026 and 2027, along with 2 extra 2nd rounders and an extra 3rd rounder in 26.

Also will take offers for Valimaki, OBrien, and Schmaltz if the price was right

UFA will be starting soon and most of the top guys haven't gotten good offers.

 

[Dahlicious]

EDM is awarded Alex Misiak.

Free Agency will begin shortly. I likely will only do one or two rounds of signings since we are now in IRL offseason and things can change rapidly.

 

[OB5]

Thanks to @Dahlicious for another strong draft. Absolute unit.

 

[McMozesmadness]

The Edmonton Oilers select:

Michal Orsulak - G - Karlovy Vary - CZEJR

...

 

[SRHRangers]

Utah has dealt C Kevin Stenlund and D J. Valimaki, and a 2026 3rd round pick

Chicago deals future considerations

and with that SJ and CAR are done.

For SJ: very happy to add multiple pieces to surround our young pieces with. We should be a lot better next season but we did not mortgage a single piece of our future. Also added to our already deep collection of young talent with the likes of Misa, Moore, and Jiricek.

For CAR: we did sacrifice some future pieces for two legit top line players. We added some lottery tickets in the draft that should help add to our strange prospect pool.

Should have explained myself a bit more.

The trades that LA made don't make them any better. Rempe doesn't nor does soon to be 39 yr old Malkin. You give up the one offensive prospect LA has + McLovin for a 39 yr old guy to put along side Kopitar and Doughty? After they get run in the 1st round again in 06', they become a lottery picking team in 07.
I could not disagree more with those moves. Horrible

The draft picks? They're fine. C+

Once again, feel free to join us next time!

We're just here having some fun, not trying to actually win a Cup. The draft is the main part, and the trading and roster management is just a little bit of fantasy fun, not necessarily meant to be realistic.

Otherwise, please don't jump into mock and fantasy threads just to critique. It's not fair to those coming out and playing.

Horrible

Just wait until you realize he also doesn’t have Gavrikov.

I mean you can disagree all you want but when one doesn’t join these things to disagree with fake moves is just silly to me
