I’d trade Quick to EDM for Nurse or Bouchard.
DO that and we'll have to give them Alt as well!

Almost posted this last night but I knew it would come off as bitterness from me
Can't elevate his game vs. tougher competition and checking amirite
Really though he didn't look out of place. But he didn't do anything of note either. It's more of an adjustment than people will want to admit, so many seemed to think he was going to storm out this year and be one of Ottawa's best players out the gate...

Skjei is such an interesting case. The Canes are known for being a team that weaponizes analytics effectively, along with the Avalanche. Eric Tulsky in their hockey ops department is often described as one of the best in the biz.
Skjei on the other hand is downgraded by the public analytics community for never having reached the level he showed earlier in his career. However, we all know that NHL teams have access to more granular, exact analytic data. It makes me as a hockey fan and math nerd so curious as to what exactly those analytics look like if a team like them would spend a 1st round pick to add Skjei when they already had a stacked defense with Jake Bean waiting in the wings.

Yep, at least you know McDavid won't run into you as he flashes by. MacKinnon might not even bother to avoid contact because he knows he'll just run you over.
The phrase "bull in a China shop" has never applied more appropriately.

Jake Voracek dropped an F bomb among other things in an exchange last night with a local reporter he hjas history with. If you google it, or go to spittin' chicklets, they have the link.

Huge loss, minimum of 2 weeks, it is when the rib tears away from the cartilege that c0nnects it to the sternum.
He got dinged along the boards on his first shift.
Ketchup and Mustard.
Ew, a rib injury. That could easily go past 2 weeks.

Good game. Halak the only reason it went to OT, Devils played a strong game. Hughes looks like a new player, you can see he took step forward, he was all over the ice.
And what way to get you 1st NHL goal, a GWG withj 1 second left in OT....

Apparently Hughes was in the 99th percentile in controlled zone entries last year but had an atrocious shooting percentage. He definitely looks more dynamic from the blueline in this season, and he spent a ton of the off time working on his shot and his strength.

He went absolutely off and it was hilarious
Equally hilarious was Konecny trying to keep his shit together We can't post it here obviously but it's well worth looking up.

Looking forward to seeing if the Sens can slap the Leafs around again tonight.
They may not be a playoff contender but, DJ Smith will have the Sens give an honest hardworking effort each game. They are going to be a pain in the ass to play.
I like their top 6 going forward. They are going to be fun to watch. Keep an eye on Batherson and Norris. Both were excellent with Belleville (AHL). Recall, Norris was part of the Karlsson trade. By all accounts, he looked very solid in the shortened training camp.
Austin Watson was a good under the radar pickup for that club. He plays a gritty game and will get under the skin of the opposition.

His goal was pretty sick too. This next season or two is going to be brutal until Byfield gets going

Keith Yandle hasn't missed a game since March 6, 2009, 866 straight, which is impressive. But he's fallen out of favor with Coach Q and could be a healthy scratch in the opener
Which is an awful way for an iron man to end.

Stutzle. Ugh. And Byfield and his crappy WJ tournament performance is in the AHL temporarily.
Shoot me.
Kings could have used a player with these moves now.

That was an absolutely beautiful goal by Stutzle, he really is exciting to watch. I kind of like the current Sens team, they have a lot of intriguing pieces and I don't think they are that far away from being a scary team to play.

as if florida's reputation wasn't bad enough, that's a sure-fire way to make sure veteran players don't want to go there
Whats it matter? If the kings took him hed be in the ahl or on a line with amadio and luff. No room for him in the top six with iafallo, brown and lizotte.
