Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

I don't know why camps ans preseason is as long as it is. They don't need more then 4 games given half the starters just half ass it until the season starts.

True, but those endless "11 Jets rookies with fire in their hearts competing for 3 spots that don't actually exist because gudvets will fill them" narratives don't write themselves.

Gotta have a chance to rank the training camps before the season actually starts and the half-arsing starters regain their rightful place in order to half-arse it through either the first, second or both halves of the season.

Teams know what their fans like... and do everything they can to take as much of it away as possible.

And playoff elimination games. Very important to half-arse it there, too.

Ufa to be July 1 Galchenyuk.

So do the Avs have to pick up full cost of RyJo’s heart transplant?

 

[None]

I wonder if they're all going to the Blues and how they're making the cap work on that big of a trade.

Edit:

Krug and/or Leddy going the other way?

I'm an HFboards insider, pretty close to the same thing.

Wow. NTC, 12 mill and 4 years -- it's the Alternate World Wheeler deal we all dread.

Talk about the Captain's Curse.

Vilardi making an appearance

I don't know how they jump to the conclusion that playing a tougher role would have ranked Vilardi even higher. Isn't it possible that in a tougher role he wouldn't have performed as well defensively and had a lower rank?

yeah it's possible for sure. but i think their glass is not as empty as yours

The no real superstar approach worked for Seattle. I mean, I've always thought a team who works hard every game would win more than they lost so it will be included to see if the Jets go that approach. No real stars outside of Connor Josh Ehlers but a group of dudes who work hard and are responsible. It could work

I don't think u need to move 55 to make that happen tho, I think you need to recognize his defensive weaknesses and pair him with 2 strong defensively responsible forwards

Nino scheif Vilardi
Connor Perfetti Ehlers

You got a pretty defensively reliable Nino and Vilardi with 55 and u got defensively responsible play making center with KC

I'd swap Ehlers and Vilardi. Want some size on Perfetti's line.

Seattle actually has scoring depth. Our team doesn't like to be built with depth scoring.

Hellebuyck, of course, did not win Vezina.

Good. That just makes him more affordable and easier to trade.

 

[roccerfeller]

Random aside
Man I gotta say I love the HFkings fans

Their board is a fun place

And they hate the oilers too!

 

[AlphaLackey]

I'm glad Ullmark won it. Makes it all the funnier that Boston's epic year got submarined by a horrible coach who doesn't understand how much volatility there is in goaltending.

"Our all-elite goalie has had a couple bad games? Put in Homer Simpson and play the percentages!" Jockocracy 101.

And the coach they turfed won the Cup. Alanis would call that ironic.

Yes, indeed, she would. God I hate that song. And I know she's a Canadian icon but absolutely everything about her perturbs me; always has.
