For what he paid to acquire him, Blake sure did bail on Dubois quickly.

To me, that quick of a trade out of town after one season makes it seem pretty clear that he wasn't well liked in the dressing room and may have impacted the chemistry a bit.

His NMC kicks in July 1st. At least he was not asleep at the wheel like Shanny was when Mitch's NMC kicked in July 1, 2023, and acted quickly.

The ability to act quickly in order to rectify a horrible mistake before long term damage takes place is a quality good team's managment possess.
Too bad the Leafs don't have anyone like that.

If the return made sense though. Getting Keumper back seems kinda… meh

Chris Drury’s ruthless no-trade-list call on Barclay Goodrow is exact approach Rangers need
Drury and the hierarchy reached the conclusion that the Rangers needed to remove Goodrow’s cap hit from the ledger. So they acted in cold blood.

I didnt think he gave up a whole lot to begin with though.
A chronically inured Vilardi facing early retirement at any time is the best piece. Then the pick. Iafallo and Kupari are chumps.
Still rather have Vilardi and the pick over Kuemper though....lol.

3 years for a 34 year old goalie though.
7 years is a long time but PLD is 25…
At that value you’re probably better off working with PLD to get him to rebound. Which seems to me that there were some off ice issues with him, which seems like par for the course given his past.

Well… he’s now been traded away by three teams at 25. Clearly there are some issues there. LA knew they likely could get a better version than last years performance and still dumped him as fast as they could.
Funny that in the last 24 hours we've seen videos of Zito being pissed in the press box and complaints that the Panthers fans were way too quiet for a playoff game.
Things many fans thought only happened in Toronto with the focus/shots of a GM and the "suits in the stands"
Wonder how much of it is just pressure and what the fans naturally do and where they tend to look

He definitely has some issues
Too many teams keeps betting on his draft standing and potential

Who knew that a Canadian team in the finals would be good for ratings?

I was quite sure Panthers would win this easily in 5 - I was wrong. Still think they win and in 6 but given my track record that predictio. Ain't worth shit. I still don't get it, oilers are such a flawed team, yet they get to ghe finals. Every short coming we have gets exploited and assures us an early exit.

It’s all McDavid… he’s put that team on his back.
Thing is, he only has to do it two more games. And that’s scary because he’s capable and clearly driven.
IMO Florida must win tonight as I don’t think they’ll win a game 7.
I actually think Edmonton completes the comeback to cement McDavid’s legacy.

If the Oilers continue to get goaltending it's hard to see them losing now.
Funny how quick a series can turn.

That shocks me. Not even I watched that game. Mostly in Canada- 6 million?
Bob is done. They ain’t winning.
It's shocking to you that Canadians watch hockey?

It’s more shocking that Americans are watching it, if they are.
In the past Canadians didn’t watch the finals, either.
