Around the League - 2024-2025

How much do you think Bennet will get? 7 mil?

7mil for a 2C like Bennett is not a bad deal

Close but no cigar again for the Senaturds.

The best the Sens could do against a Canucks team missing their 1G, 1D (for most of the game), and best all-around forward was a one goal loss. Bleak.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Pens down 6-1 and rocking a -34 goal differential.

There is no way the Pens Ownership fully thought through what hiring Kyle Dubas means.

What do you mean? The whole Hockey World are watching the Pens now

Thanks Kyle!

Clarkson

Slafkovsky lol

Montreal is a disaster. Nowhere close to their rebuild ending. Slafkovsky looked terrible on that 3rd Vegas goal. Dude has 1 goal this year. He’s starting to get into bust territory, imagine paying a 4th liner 7 million a year lol

You weren't kidding. Brutal play

He looks atrocious.. like I said I’m not even being troll or trying to bash. I watched the whole game tonight and Montreal is going in the wrong direction. Might be time to end the St.Louis experiment

Totally sounds like a dubas type of team

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Are we sure the Rangers are good? Such a tire fire in their own zone.

Dubas accomplished building that type of team once. It cost him (and us) a bevy of futures at the TDL and it wasn’t truly ingrained in the culture like in Florida who promptly kicked our asses in the next round but he did sort of do it. He’s not going to be able to replicate that in Pittsburgh any time soon.

His strength is speed, and seemed to be a north-south type of player.

Good size.

Probably more a Berube than Keefe player.

Wonder if he'll see any time with McDavid, not saying he's a 1st. liner, but not every player on the 1st. line has to be a 1st. liner.

Well, didn't take long.

They aren't tonight. Not that I am cheering for the Oilers, but a west team beating an east team is always a small consolation.

 

[Gabriel426]

That’s vet’s talk. Someone who been through everything

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Oilers are just dummying the Rangers. Not even the end of the 2nd and they’ve got 30 shots on them. And four goals to boot.

I can confidently say I never saw the hype with Slaf, dude is offensively challenged. He's built like a tank and I think the scouting department had the blinders on there. Habs management have a history of not drafting BPA. Kotkaniemi over Tkachuk anyone?

Montreal's roster isn't great but it's also not this bad, St. Louis isn't really getting the most out of any player, he's out of his depth and doesn't have a clue what he's doing.

 

[wingman75]

Goals like that is why Skinner is not a good pick for Team Canada imo. It was going wide, went through/off him and went in. No thanks.

Paper tigers.

Slaf was a boom-or-bust pick. If he can't score, his value will be minimal.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

See that Buffalo managed to come back against San Jose in the third. Now that’s not something to write home about of course but that feels like a game they’d have lost in the past and the type of game current season Ottawa and Detroit would lose. Maybe they're the perennial loser Atlantic team that breaks through this year.
