Around the League - 2023 Offseason Edition

[expatriatedtexan]

Patrik Laine as a 1C for the Jackets has 4G and 4A this offseason so far.

He started getting serious about learning the center position last season. He was doing really well too right before his injury. Would have loved for Mikko to have taken the opportunity last season seriously.

 

[Chiarelli]

Nobody thinks Byram is a top 5 Dman in the league. He's arguably not even a top 3 Dman on most NHL teams.

It was a couple days ago I can pull the quote for you…

I don't want to be disappointed in anyone.

 

[Frobbo]

New Jersey fans on HF are making it very difficult to actually root for New Jersey this year... What an arrogant fan base after doing essentially nothing yet as a team.

Still better than NYR fans...i know, that isn't saying much.

This should take care of the last year of that shitty contract.

 

[Avs_19]

Wow. Murray's salary is $8M this season. Sucks about the injuries but at least he's cashing out.

For some reason I thought this was still the Pens deal but then I looked at Cap Friendly and couldn't stop laughing when I saw who gave him that contract. One of the many reasons why everything goes through Staios now.

Nice, good job helping out a potential rival team for the playoffs.

Well if they want him to get time in the net why not? Did you know race teams will put their drivers in other teams cars if theirs goes down, just to keep them getting track time?

 

[Ararana]

Ouch

 

[LOFIN]

Why would he retire though, he still has a contract this year no? Are the Leafs really going to pay him 4m to be a scout?

 

[Azrael89]

What's Vegas trying to pull here? lol

Yes

More likely whatever the buyout number would be, but in a single year. Although who knows with them lol.

[Alex Jones]

I'm glad for him. if you're someone that has made millions and you still want to go through the grind of being a scout you must really want it.

The NHL has banned rainbow colored stick tape.

Glad we have the right priorities. We've all been spared the horror of possibly seeing rainbow colored tape.

 

[Freudian]

I wouldn't be surprised if Avs keep Tufte up. Bigger possibility of him clearing waivers now than in a month when some team starts to have injuries.

Pre-waiving. Big brain move.

He's not really retiring, he's just not playing. Otherwise that would be cap circumvention.

Nice, good job helping out a potential rival team for the playoffs.

They are not helping them, just their AHL team. No biggie.

I know the poor camera work is on brand but awful audio now?

NHL going to interesting lengths to protect the few players who took issue with pride from any controversy

Hope he kills it. Weirdly excited at the prospect of the second NHLer ever from my hometown and be old enough to meaningfully watch them this time
