OT: Around the League '24-25

[BrettHullsToe]

Hello, I did not expect my posts to show up here lool. I think if we put Klingberg as a bottom pairing guy it would work. But he's being thrown on the 2nd pair with Nurse lol.

Yeah, that was never going to work.

I'm not sure what's worse: losing trades due to being a bad negotiator or thinking these guys he's getting are good additions.

Well they're about to finally move Gibson. The Trouba one made no sense though.

 

[M88K]

Oilers or Avs getting Gibson, i'd think
forgot the Avs grabbed and signed blackwood long term

Jones scored a nice pp goal tonight

Dumoulin looked like got injured pretty badly tonight. Might have dodged a bullet there.

Edit- he returned to the game. Damnit

They're better additions than what they had, honestly. He had to make the show better, so he got Trouba. He needed depth because Gibson is a fragile little glass trinket, so he got Husso... Guessing Husso was going to waivers.

Huh, so apparently Makar didn't miss 4 Nations games just because of the flu, but he also had a concussion? DeBoer dropped that bit of info as a side note in an interview.

With just how many injuries came out of this tournament (and of course, all to the top end players in the leauge), I wonder just how long it will take before the owner's willingness to indulge the international desires of the players evaporates. Jeremy Jacobs of Boston has been an outspoken critic of international play in the past, and I can't imagine he'll take it in stride after losing McAvoy and watching the Bruins playoff chances slip away.

I want Utah to get the last playoff spot so badly. Imagine if Winnipeg wins the Presidents Trophy and gets knocked out in the 1st round by the real Jets

Sorokin has two more goals this season than Dumba, Lyubushkin, Lundkvist and B.Smith combined lol

Nvm apparently it was Sorokins first goal ever. The score app had him marked down for 2 on the season. Either way, still has more goals than those 4 lol

This Stadium Series is a good game

A couple of huge open ice hits

BJs are a fun team, hopefully they make the playoffs

Fantilli/Marchenko/Werenski should take you places if you can get any goaltending

If they make it they're definitely a threat to upset whoever they face

I think they need a better goalie to do some damage. Hopefully they address it by next week because they are fun to watch

You sure? Merzļikins is a top 10 goalie...just ask him

He scored a goal the other day... On his own net.
