In the coming days look for the Florida Panthers to announce Chris Pronger as a high ranking executive with the club.



Okay, with no prior experience other than being one of the dirtiest players ever, destroyer of locker rooms and first class jerk...you get to be a 'high ranking exec"

Ofcourse the one draft Lombardi doesn't trade our pick for a rental.

Fired him too early!

The Golden Knights already signed 2 RFAs that they selected. They also picked a couple of UFAs. #tvasports

NHL will be more strict on slashing next season. #tvasports

They should be...too many players get away with that , should also go after slew footers.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Ha, that was a pretty good shot at the Flyers.

And Bettman is involved in jokes, lol. I want a Gary Bettman Comedy Hour.

Better yet, most picks available read like "Kings picks" in every other draft

Director of Cap Circumvention

Hossa will be his assistant!

 

[SFKingshomer]

Uh oh, Karlsson said maybe he should go to Vegas ;-)

to join Methot assuming he isn't traded. I hope Hedman wins Norris but I doubt it...Burns wins it.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Thrilled that Kesler and Karlsson lost.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Burns winning the Norris over Karlsson.

 

[Bandit]

Burns winning the Norris over Karlsson.

LOL. I was wondering why not much was happening on the trade board. I bet there's about to be 50 "Karlsson robbed" threads on the nhl board. Love it.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I thought Karlsson should have won, but I'm fine with him losing so that a bunch of people who care too much about a silly award lose their minds

I thought it was close enough that either guy could have gotten it. EK had a slow start, Burnsie had a slow finish (relative to each other of course, ahead of the rest of the league). But of course the default state of the league for his entire career has to be EK wins the Norris, so cue the 'robbed again,' "Canadian bias" narrative and get your popcorn.

 

[KopitarFAN]

The leaked picks are 4 for 4 (AZ never leaked).

EDIT: 8 for 8.

 

[eleventy]

So much cringe

Looks like the dongs on the main board are finally coming around to the realization that Vegas is going to be garbage for a while. "They'll probably be a plyoff team!" - every ******* 2 hours ago...

There is a fairly high quota of idiot on the main board(s).

The Panthers never cease to amaze me. They are a joke.

It would not surprise me to see them try to get Kovalchuk. Kovy - Galchenyuk - Jagr

Btw, happy for Craig Anderson grabbing the Masterton. What an unbelievably tough season he had personally. Stick tap to you, sir.

 

[Herby]

Norris lost any credibility in 98 when Blake won it over Lidstrom.

No team would trade Karlsson for two Burns.

 

[LAKings88]

Do they have to pan over to gms after seclections are made? Painfully awkward.

I think they'll be a solid team, but nowhere near a playoff team.

Pretty much all the crowd shots are awkward.

 

[kovacro]

Check Gaudreau's ID, he looks 13.

 

[LAKings88]

Most awards shows are bad but you'd think the NHL could have hired some decent writers at least.

The expansion draft should have been a separate thing all together.

 

[KopitarFAN]

All 27 leaked picks were accurate.
