Around the NHL 11 - 2023/24

All I was seeing for a long time was Carolina to be the Eastern representatives in the Finals. Not looking so good now.

Pretty lame list of names for the Utah NHL team, serioulsy powder. glaciers?

Would go Grizzlies or Blue Bonnets!

Blue Bonnets?

That's right up there with the Mighty Ducks.

Yeah, but I like those teams so I don’t have to go through great lengths to try to discredit them.

But, I see your point. It’s a shame the Jets didn’t make it through as it’s looking more and more like they’re the only team capable of “legitimately” winning.

We lucked into Laine which turned into a PLD which turned into Vilardi and Iafallo. So we are asterisk too.

They can't go Grizzlies. Utah Grizzlies already exist and I'd imagine they won't be giving up their name.

Sorry, bad luck doesn’t count as an asterisk.

If we hadn't won, we could've drafted Matthew Tkachuk or Clayton Keller with the 6th pick.

And then we went and and traded up to get Logan Stanley, missing chances to draft two of: Tage Thompson, Alex Debrincat and Jordan Kyrou or literally 100 other players that were better than Logan Stanley - then and now.

Tkachuk was never getting past Calgary. So unless we took him with pick 2, Calgary was ahead of us in final standings.

We might have taken Keller. I wanted Sergachev with pick 6 at the time.

Ehhh, I don;t think they had the stomach to draft Tkachuk if they had moved up to #2. Nobody would've. Laine was an auto-pick.

The only thing we can know for certain from that draft is that Matthews wasn't getting past Toronto and Logan Stanley was never getting past Winnipeg.

I think you nailed it. We had eyes for the big man and nothing was going to deter them. This franchise has been trying to find a Chara since its inception.

Jets have one of the best and most thought out logos in the league... if you're pushing for a franchise and finally get one - HOW do you not have your branding ready

A huge agency like they've contracted can create a slick identity within four months easy. Just seems bush league.

Buy the ECHL Grizzlies brand - there. Done. Probably cheaper than the year of ad agency market research they're about to pay for.

I like the cumpus pointing North… nice touch. However, the jet looks like clip art and the obscured red maple leaf looks like a bad rendering of an explosion imo. I agree with all those who would like the two heritage jerseys full time, or even the early 90’s version.

I saw three or four fan made jerseys/names for Utah on YouTube, and the all look incredible. Any one of them would be a winner. In my opinion, there’s no reason not to have a name and jersey ready for September.

In a surprise move Treliving trades Matthews to the Flames for Huberdeau and Weeger.

Seriously though if Johnston has read the tea leaves correctly what is the play?

Surely Treliving isn’t supid enough to trade Matthews is he? Nylander was the only core 4 player who seemed to move the needle this playoffs so I doubt they move him. Marner is the obvious odd man out and Captain Tavares would need to take a big discount to stay on after next season.

I get it “IF” Shanny is to survive he can’t run it back again next season and Treliving isn’t scared to bold which should scare any Leafs fan.

I don’t get why they don’t move on from Brendan?

Yeh I’d say Marner is the odd man out closely followed by Taveras. Can’t imagine moving Matthews. And Nylander is signed through ‘31-32 season with a cap hit of $11.5.

 

[bustamente]

I don't know what you would get in return for 1 year of Marner, is he a top flight player if he is not in Toronto? I have my doubts as for Tavares I doubt they can move him without heavy retention, his best days are slipping by. Mathews on the other hand would get you a Kings ransom from an American team but do the Leafs have the balls to do it. Nylander is going nowhere.

Mathews to L.A. for PLD straight up.

 

[jokesondee]

Of all the goalies in Oilers history, he was easily the most recent.

I'd even argue he's top three in Oilers history with the initials S. S.

 

[CaptainUgly]

I have a feeling the Oilers clap back tonight.

Give me FLA/EDM tonight

Not that I am a fan of Wikipedia... a direct quote...

"The name Utah derives from the name of the Ute tribe, meaning 'people of the mountains'.[20] However, no such word exists in the Utes' language, and the Utes refer to themselves as Noochee. The meaning of Utes as 'the mountain people' has been attributed to the neighboring Pueblo Indians,[21] as well as to the Apache word Yuttahih, which means 'one that is higher up' or 'those that are higher up'.[20] In Spanish, it was pronounced Yuta; subsequently, English-speaking people may have adapted the word as Utah.[22]"

Perhaps Mountaineers would be most appropriate... or Utah HC for "High Country"...

Though "High Country" is probably a better name for Canada now... with legalized Cilantro and all...

You have to be high to live in this shit show now...

Pelley gave Tre' and Shanny' the "I'm solidly behind them" speech to the Media...

One or both of them will be gone right after the draft is over...

No sarcasm intended... just a hunch...

Apparently PLD a Jet again!

Love to see the Jets play style like Boston or Florida, not commenting on players skill but the system and style and grit. Fun hockey
