Around the League - 2023/24

vs. The Avs

Edit: NVM, he meant playoff series win, not games won

 

[GeoRox89]

It’s gotta be Mittelstadt

As far as traded away, I have no clue

If he doesn’t win on total numbers have to think Stewart with 30 in 36 on the Avs then something like 23 in 26 with the Blues has to be right up there in p/g anyways

Edit: I forgot we traded Mr Shootout in season. He has to be the winner

I think Mueller is tops if you go with only scoring for the Avs. He had 20 points in 15 games as far as players traded for

Flash was also wildly productive in his short time with the Avs but not quite that p/g ratio

Weird how this is filtering out like this, but Smith will be a revelation for the NHL. The league needs an owner like him. It won’t be easy as one of the smaller markets with a reputation, but the league is better after this by a good margin.

This will surely help the cap? Right?????

Can't say I know much about Smith but I know enough about Meruelo that not having him anymore is a substantial addition by substraction.

Well since SLC should bring more revenue to the league than AZ then yes, it will help the cap.

The Knights aren’t missing the playoffs. Easy schedule rest of the way too outside of us.

Blues season basically unofficially done with this loss to Carolina

 

[Balthazar]

Hope they have a name, logo and jersey ready for the draft. That'd be nice...especially since they will be drafting in the top 5ish, with a legit possibility of winning the lottery.

SLC will inherit decent young players and prospects...and since they'll be willing to spend money that team will no longer be a joke and a cemetary for players on LTIR.

That's really going to sting for Yote fans though.

Hench getting on board with SLC after defending every dumpster fire move Arizona has made over the last decade:

 

[McMetal]

Personally I think that was to save face publicly. The NHL doesn't care about LTIR.

Honestly, next season teams that are rebuilding should start convincing contending teams to put their vets on LTIR near the TDL and acquire their better players. It'll speed up rebuilds, create insane playoff rosters and level the playing field.

What I'm wondering is: who will be the first enterprising GM to put his own rentals on LTIR before the deadline to raise the price for the teams bidding for him?

 

[Balthazar]

I highly doubt the NHL wants its stars to sit healthy on LTIR for 25% of the season.

 

[The Moops]

I'm excited about the move. Much closer to SLC so I'll be able to go to more games. But at the same time I'm sad I never took the chance to go to Mullet and see a game there. Might have been a fun atmosphere

My son is the same age I was when the Avs came to Colorado. I wonder if he'll switch allegences so he doesn't have to cheer for the same team as me lol

I can’t help but know the business

Believe me when I tell you the NHL does not give a f***.

Define NHL… owners, Daly/Bettman, Front offices?

Daly/Bettman.

Owners might care because stars out could lose them money. Front offices obviously due to higher chance of losing.

Bettman/Daly don't give a f***. They won't check into LTIR to ensure injuries are legit or care if players get put there when a team wants to use their cap space.

I’d say owners care less than Daly/Bettman. The only part of the NHL that cares is front offices and the amount they care is more about their specific team and competing. Owners and Daly/Bettman just care than the revenues are up and players don’t get more than 50% (soon to be pushing for 47%).

 

[AvsMakar08]

Kerfoot just does not want to shoot. He had the chances. At least 2.

Watch them join the Devils as a team that took 2 relocations (KC Scouts to Rockies) before winning the Cup. Everyone else (with this news) has either folded, moved once and won (Avs/Flames/Canes/Stars) or is the Jets

Just wait until the Jets move to Phoenix.

 

[dahrougem2]

I wonder if any current Coyotes players will request a trade instead of wanting to head to SLC?

Perhaps that fear might be why reports say Coyotes players will be taken to Utah very soon to be shown the facility and city.

 

[GeoRox89]

Just wait until the Jets move to Phoenix.

This is just cruel but I’m 100% here for it. I don’t know why I have just always hated them right back to the big Buff/Ladd days.
