Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

Probably decent but he's on LTIR now and isn't he going right back to the Pens in the offseason?

I think he's probably going to be looking for like 8-9 million on his next deal. Can the Pens afford that (I haven't looked too closely at their cap situation next year)?

Yeah they're pretty flush.

I hate to say it, but I don't think anybody in the West can stand up to this determined Oilers team.

Edit: Lindholm is back on the ice.

They're not the mess they used to be after picking up Hyman, Kane, and Ekholm, and changing coaches, but a healthy Avs or Knights sends them home. Dallas in 7.

McDavid is an alien though so I wouldn't wager on it. Think he had a third or more of their shots tonight.

Messing with the brokers.

Boy I sure hope you're wrong. I hope a healthy Avs team or Dallas on a PO heater wll do the trick. Habs West can never ever win a cup

I am no Dubas fan by any stretch of the imagination, but saying this trade deadline, and most notably moving Guentzel, is a career defining trade deadline is a complete stretch that'll cripple Ken Campbell's back. Lazy reporting.

Ottengier with 6 goals on 19 shots vs the Sharks lol.

 

[horner]

Seattle making a late season push. They have a few games left against teams they're chasing, and a bunch vs basement teams. I can see them sneaking in

McCann 30 points in the last 22 games

Another one Dubas let get away

Thanks

To protect Holl, what a moron……

Every goaltender has a bad game.

McMann had done nothing and was on his 4th team by the time he got here.

He exploded when he got to Seattle and started playing 1st line mins and PP.

It was a miss, but a miss by a lot of GM's. Not just Dubas

Wait what?! Almost 5 mil a year for sandin??? Has he been that good?

He actually hasn't been great, but they are locking up a young d man for the future. They are holding out hope he develops even further. Good move.

People here would lose their shit of we signed Sandin for 4.6 mil tho lol

Very fair, but sometimes instead of bridging a player, sometimes you have to take the risk. They should do this with Lilly

5 years 3.5 - 4 mil max tho. I say. But who knows that they do with him.

Oettinger has been bad this year. Now sub .900, -4.0 GSAE, and has allowed 5+ in a game 7 times in 39 starts. He was also arguably the worst goalie in the playoffs last year

Not sure what's going on other than goalie voodoo.

Lily’s production hasn’t been far off from Sandin (0.31 PPG vs 0.39) and Sandin is a noted offensive d-man. Lily I believe has had better defensive results but with less ATOI this season.

$4.6 is too rich for me but but your range is good. $4x5 would be acceptable, but $3.5 would be quite excellent.

Some teams are able to take a chance on a signing like this. The Leafs, in its current structure, couldn't. But for a team like Washington which is thirsting for young talent, there's minimal downside signing this 23-year old with respectable upside, even if they overpaid him by $500K to $1M per year.

Oh god i could only imagine
But really though, would YOU want that? I know I sure as shit wouldn't.

A good way to look at it is: 30 other GMs valued him less than a depth prospect and a 7th round pick. Pittsburgh GM valued him less than Teddy Blueger.

Panthers are exhibiting very little chill
