The Calgary bubble has burst, lost 4 in a row and being blown out by the Pens.

Huberdeau back to his old self.

As in on a 50 pt pace.

God the Sens suck

8th season straight of literally the same pathetic team that has minimal cohesion and very little structure. They are so terrified of players leaving that they panic extend everyone instead of getting a better look at them (Colin White, Hamonic, Norris, Ullmark).

Terrible management and coaching ever since Bryan Murray passed away.

Also, now, how many of those locked in long term guys are going to want to continue. Brady Tkachuk is the big one. NMC come July 1. So, then controls flows to him if he later asks out in the summer. Have to know long before that whether he's all in or not.

Things seemed like they were on the right track til 2021 and they drafted Boucher at 10. Followed that up with the DeCat trade at 2022 draft, then Chrychrun at the TDL in 2023. Basically killed 3 drafts to end up with Ullmark and Jensen. No pressure to win with the owner having passed. Someone in that organization gave Dorian the marching orders to win now or were ok, with him doing so. Doubt the daughters were calling the shots after Eugene's death, though they did own the team.

that's a weird trade that might hurt both teams. underwhelming return for cbj which did not need picks but also that many picks moving may hurt minny more than the value of the individual parts. i get the fact it is spread over multiple drafts but i think ditching so many picks is going to hurt minny's pipeline and trade options.

CBJ I think has been forced back into a bit more rebuilding with gaudreau’s death.

When you hire Travis Green, you should expect nothing less.

Brady will be gone by the start of next season.

Flames and Vegas losing tonight. Come on Avs, do your thing

Sharks dismantling the Kraken, damn.

That is a whole lot of not much for Jiricek.

1st round pick in the 20s and a depth prospect.

Surprised nobody beat that. Great deal for Minnesota.

That Jake Walman guy on the Sharks is pretty stellar, how would he be on the Red Wings?

Gaudreau was known to be a great teammate and Columbus was always likely to be able to afford him, so this might be a rare case where on the balance losing an overpaid 31-year-old player isn't going to make rebuilding much easier. Leaving to one side how it happened, obviously.
