OT: Around the League '24-25

[Blindsummit]

Rangers blow.

Yep they lost. 2 points to the Avs they looked like they were going to blow. Dammit.

Rick Bowness is part of the TNT broadcast panel now. Not a role I ever expected to see him in lol

Bones probably went crazy at home without beeing involved in hockey in some form.

his interviews on the ticket were always a pleasant surprise

the guy lived a million hockey lifetimes- he rules

 

[Smelling Salt]

I find him annoying quite frankly. No one is that nice. Dude is hiding something

 

[Kcb12345]

Didn't realize how under fire Mittelstadt has been by Avs fans

Didn't realize how under fire Mittelstadt has been by Avs fans

he's been trash offensively and offers nothing in his own zone. not shocked at all

 

[Kcb12345]

Also sounds like Simon Nemec wants out of New Jersey

 

[LT]

NJ supposedly very interested in JT Miller

 

[Smelling Salt]

Don't understand the point of Klingberg to Edmonton.

There is no room on the PP for him. And any thoughts of him being great on the breakout (questionable) will be heavily outweighed by being caved in defensively.

 

[LT]

As a Stars fan, I love this move

 

[Kcb12345]

NJ supposedly very interested in JT Miller

Wonder if a deal around Nemec and Miller occurs

 

[Smelling Salt]

Trying to figure out something fair for all teams.

To Vancouver - Nemec
To NJ - Miller @ 70%
To Dallas - Boeser
To the shadow realm - Dumba

There's 0 risk to signing Klingberg at that contract, he should be an upgrade on Stecher or Emberson.... if he sucks you just stuff him in the press box like Tyson Barrie down in Calgary.

 

[LT]

His cap hit comes in at just below 1.75M, which isn't nothing for a team trying to maximize space at the deadline

I don't think Klingberg has anything left to give, either.

 

[Kcb12345]

I still expect Klingberg to put up some points playing with McDavid and Draisaitl. It'll be entertaining I'm sure at both ends of the ice

 

[Troy McClure]

I guess it all depends on how successful his surgery and rehab have been. If he's won back some hip mobility, maybe he will have a nice bounce back. Who knows.

Did any teams even seen him skate before signing him?
