GDT: Around the League - Off Season Edition - let the good times roll.

[Mickey Marner]

If anything it's convenient for the Devils that it's Blackwood. You just carry three goalies and Blackwood doesn't travel to Canada six times to play nine games.

 

[Mess]

Everyone ready for Hyman to be a superstar 70pt 2 way power forward lol according to many Oiler posters he is going to absolutely destroy the league.

Tonight's game against the Kraken ..

The line of Hyman (1-1-2 pts) - McDavid (1-2-3 pts) -- Puljujarvi (1-1-2 pts)

 

[3blizzard4]

The Mighty Kraken! And in pre-season to boot!

The line of Hyman (1-1-2 pts) - McDavid (1-2-3 pts) -- Puljujarvi (1-1-2 pts)

and Pezzetta scored two goals against us... it's preseason....

That said, McDavid is a superstar, and Hyman is good enough to keep up... so he'll score points. I mean, even Puljujarvi got two points playing with McDavid.

 

[Metroid]

best first line in the NHL next year!!!
Hyman-Mcdavid-Puljuarvi
lol

Who cares. Pre-season is as useless as tits on a bull.

Can we fast forward to mid-October already please.

Also note the Pacific is bad. So bad. If Edmonton doesnt take the Pacific, they might as well put Kassian on McDavid's line again.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

dont forget james neal had 10 goals in like 3 4 games a couple years back. that didnt end the way it started either

 

[3blizzard4]

Oilers fans getting to know Ceci intimately tonight can the Jets lmao

If funny reading posters of other teams justifying watching the Leafs on Amazon lmao

“I’m a NHL junkie that’s why”
“I’d rather die than watch the Leafs but since so love the NHL I’ll tune in”
“Please poke my eye out but i am curious is all”


None of them want to even admit to themselves that they are obsessed with the Leafs. Yes I’m talking to all the lurkers here.

 

[hamzarocks]

Pettersson reportedly signs for 7.7x3 and Hughes for 7.75x6

The Hughes deal isn't that bad as he should still grow defensively to be passable while being elite offensively

Pettersson is 1M-1.5M overpaid

Should have gotten 6.5M x 3 as his bridge. 6 years should've been 9M

It's mind boggling. They all complain about all the attention the Leafs get but then can't stop giving us attention.

pretty sure they are aiming for bedard in 2 years and and the top 5 this year. they will be a force if they can hit on half the picks next 2 years are suppose to be extremely talented and deep drafts

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Was Pettersson playing behind Bo Horvat last year too? Previous years Bo was taking all the hard matchups and am wondering if Pettersson is in normal 1C usage now.

Thought they'd leverage the trade market more than they did. Conversely, I didn't think they'd be as active in signing UFAs as they were. A solid goalie combo and an iffy (IMO) division could keep them in the playoff hunt.

Everyone is obsessed with watching a train wreck. And to get behind the scenes access is just gravy. It's amazing viewing for 31 fanbases.

 

[Zybalto]

Hughes, OEL, Myers, Pettersson, Horvat, Miller, Boeser (Needs a new contract next year) @ around 45 million cap hit or
Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, Muzzin, Brodie, Rielly (Needs a contract next year) @ around 55 million cap hit.

I know hfboards voted Benning as a way better GM than Dubas before last season but which core do you think will perform better this year and worth their cap hits?

Petey hardly played last year.
Before that though, Green used Bo against other teams top line.
But Petey usage is 1c.
