LOL Lauko & Mittelstadt are not going to magically make this years dumpster fire of a team better to the point where we're winning games that we should be losing
No but they will come in free from the malaise that has been hanging over the team. It will be some fresh air. Probably won't win more games than they otherwise would have but these guys will be looking to make a good first impression (again, in the case of Lauko) versus waiting for the season to be mercifully over.

Yeah, he's riding this season out and whatever happens, happens. I don't see these moves as an attempt to get into the playoffs. If nothing more happens today, I still expect some changes in the summer. We now have a draft to look forward to for the first time in a while.
 
I'm guessing that if the Bruins were going to extend Marchand by the deadline we would have heard that by now. I will wager that they are waiting for a few teams to say "best offer" before deciding where he goes.

LA has been quiet. Carolina is doing God knows what. NJ should have some $ to spend with Hughes going down. The Florida teams always have one last move in them.

We'll see, maybe it's a long shot that he gets traded but it won't surprise me if he is.

Clock is ticking. It wouldn't surprise me if no deal on an extension is done, but that both sides feel like they are close enough that something will eventually get worked. Or, we could hear one more bomb today lol.

Nah, I have no problem with people wanting sweeney gone. It's probably time.

I have a problem with people complaining about the 3 deals he's made just because they're mad at him.
Middlestadt is a dumb pickup. Sweeney is already eating into cap space on a clone. I like the rest, I don’t like this pickup that has term having a down year at over 6mil. They are already dealing with Lindholm as 7mil having a bad year. He again is hoping for a bounce back player.

The point is obviously that he's emphasizing players who are going to help now. Seems like that point was obvious and I shouldn't have to further clarify it, but there it is.
 
Marchand and Boeser still need to move.

There were talks Vancouver was thinking about keeping him as an "own rental" type of thing which i think would be stupid with the prices teams are paying. But the Canucks love stupid so...
