Around the League - 2024-2025

Scapegoat fire

Almost like Cassidy wasn't the issue. Players wanted him fired. 3 years later, he's a stanley cup champion and Bruins are on their 2nd coach now.

 

[Menzinger]

I'm on the Bruins dip isn't as surprising as it should be .the goaltending is worse and their older vets keep getting older. Last season may have been closer to being a one off than a sign of consistency

Edmonton claimed Kapanen from waivers.

A wee bit comical at this point the amount of recycling they do from older Leafs guys

I feel sick when I see these Dubas waiver fodder pet projects go in the tank: Campbell and Kapanen. I just can't believe what we used to see. Both Kap and Campbell were key players for Kyle at one point. It's no wonder they can't get out of the 1st round.

Kap was never a key player. He was a young role guy. They moved on from him pretty quick.

To be fair,, in this case Kyle sold pretty high on Kapanen

As he did on the other duds Engvall, Johnsson, etc.

What we used to see was a guy in Kapanen, who on a $863k contract, put up 44 points for us, and had a ton of speed. The following year he put up 37 points.... a solid contributor on the third line, who was then dumped and went downhill.

He was a great value player for us, and a good third line player.

He was a good pickup, and dumped at exactly the right time... all around good moves...

What's sad is people who are so clouded by Dubas anger, that they make statements like this.

Odds are he will be the Habs next coach.
He coached with Berube in St. Louis

Does he talk french? It's a prerequisite last time I checked.

Was born in Montreal , Quebec if I remember correctly…so yes he does

Being born in Montreal doesn’t automatically mean you speak French.

 

[Da Mash]

I agree but he does from what I heard

 

[Evilhomer]

I probably shouldn't be asking this but ... where do you see the Leafs finishing?

I actually don't think it will even matter this season. Whichever team finishes in second in the Atlantic is going to have a pretty easy match-up. The division is terrible this season. Toronto and Florida have basically already locked up first and second as between themselves.

I had no idea. A good fit if the Habs make a coaching change for sure.

Has there been talk of that? I thought St Louis was very popular.

His development stalled in Pittsburgh for whatever reason, and he's never been able to get back on track.

 

[SprDaVE]

I don't think so but it's probably going to come up at the end of the season. He's been there since Feb 2022. At some point you need progress.

 

[MSZ]

The Sens are back to their usual selves badly outplayed by the Oilers. Saving their absolutely best game for the next meeting with the Leafs.

 

[Evilhomer]

For years the Atlantic division was the most difficult in the league, and now it may be the worst division.

 

[1specter]

Go figure Ottawa blew their load beating us and have been dogshit ever since. Smh

 

[BertCorbeau]

I’m honestly shocked.. he looked like a quality 20 goal, 40 point two way winger with his skill set primed for a long career

It’s crazy how he’s waiver fodder now because he always have the two way game and speed to be effective

Happens every year

Detroit is a team that could be a suitor though. Another team that has had its build stalled

 

[fahad203]

Sucks to hear about Ovi out with a leg injury. Especially when he's chasing such a historic record and with the start he's having

Edmonton claimed Kapanen from waivers.

At this point, I'm pretty sure McDavid is Edmonton's GM and the only out of town games he watches are Leafs games:
