Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

It also happened to be the team they are fighting for the last division spot. Nice to see Tampa crap all over them.

Ottawa is in tough with a few times at the back door. If/when they miss the playoffs this season, I won't feel sorry.

Not the insane trade by the Avs people thought it was. Proactive move, people really slept on Necas.

I am as big a Gretzky fan as there is, and I did wish his goal record would stand. But at this point, I'm looking forward to Ovechkin breaking it, whether it be some time this season, or early next. To be able to see a record like that fall not just once, but twice in one's lifetime, which will span 30+ years, is pretty special in my opinion.

I'm not sure anyone thought the trade itself was bad for Colorado - more that not signing MR was a bad choice.

Some sure as hell did.

Interesting early returns.

Necas has 3 goals and 8 points in 7 games, while Rantanen is 1 and 2 for 2 points in 6.

Way too early to make an educated assessment but possibly Col had figured out Rantanen without Mack is not a 13-14 million guy
