Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

[Jet]

And just like that the kraken are in the outside looking in... going to be a fun playoff race this year

Cautionary tale for sure but kind of expected

Mo and the team he's taken down back to his natural .500!

Habs are embarrassing themselves after the Christmas Break, it's okay though the Moms are on the trip so they will be able to wipe away the tears

It's the serious time of the year now, where the tanks can start rolling. If Montreal and Florida can both finish in the bottom 11, that's good odds for the Canadiens.

Just imagine if the 1st that was traded for Ben Chiarot became Conor Bedard, that would go down as one the worst trades ever.

Already is.

Since the OT lounge is dead, uh, happy new year, you filthy animals

Happy New Year HF Jets!

Chipman sure had an “odd” blind spot for Paul.
I doubt Maurice finishes the season at this rate.
The Florida boards are painting a very familiar picture to what we witnessed here the last 3 seasons Mo was here.
Too bad you hate to see people struggling but he’s probably done soon.

Happy New Year Jets fans.

I've criticized Maurice in the past, but watching him struggle has become akin to sitting ringside for Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. I can't extract pleasure from that spectacle - its a bleak situation - and that big ball of angst is gathering momentum in FLA.

I think the only question now with the Panthers is when is Paul Marie’s gonna get fired. if they lose to the Rangers tonight they are two games under 500 and almost 10 points out of a playoff spot.

He ain’t getting 9 seasons to figure it out that’s 100% for certain

 

[CorgisPer60]

Paul Maurice is reminding himself what it's like to have a team that doesn't have a top three goaltender in the world.

Happy New Year Jets fans.

To get cap space now and in the future: Schmidt for Zaitsev.

 

[None]

Imagine the chaos if Florida's pick won Bedard.

The new coach would do Connor wonders

Rangers win 5-3.

Yeah, Marty St Louis might make a good coach for Bedard.


Montreal owns Florida's 2023 first
Chiarot would be able to brag for the rest of his life that he was traded as a rental for Bedard.

Edit: May or may not be top 10 protected

Question

Why the hell is Boston and Pittsburgh playing in an outdoor game again?

Edit: ESPN’s PK Subban (woof) says that there should be more Canadian teams doing this

You want to make a downgrade to save $1m for each of the next two years just to save $5.9m in 3 years when the cap goes way up and all the other guys' deals are up?

Heinola can take Schmidt’s spot. We’ll need the cap space in order to give Hellebuyck & Scheifele the deals they deserve. It’s an unknown how much the salary cap is going up in 3 years. Jets can’t plan on the cap going way up. No team can.

Yeah, was gonna ask about that not existing.

I wanted to formally challenge HF Jets to chess games, lol.

Lots can happen in 2 years with regards to contracts and the cap.

Also, if Heinola takes Schmidt's spot, when the team is healthy of course, where does newly acquired Zaitsev fit in?

You've got Morrissey-DeMelo, Dillon-Heinola (in place of Schmidt), Stanley or Samberg with Pionk. Where's righty Zaitsev go? You could do the easy thing and keep Zaitsev on the 3rd pairing right side with say Heinola/Samberg/Stanley, move Pionk up with Dillon. I think then you've needlessly made your team worse to worry about a problem in 2024.
