Around the NHL 2023-24 - Offseason

[NJDevs26]

I don’t know whether to laugh or be angry

 

[britdevil]

Grier you f***ing moron.

 

[Saugus]

Why do other teams always line up around the block to bail the Rangers out from their f*** ups?

It becomes tiresome after so many times.

 

[Oneiro]

I mean, they're just going to resign Lindgren and waste that space on another albatross deal.

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

[Darkauron]

The Diva is on the move again!

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

apparently Kuemper is going to LA?

what the hell?

 

[Devilsgrl35]

[Devils Army]

Bettman: "please wait until after the finals to announce trades"

*florida loses games 4 and 5*

NHL:

 

[Oneiro]

I love it. Gary can f*** off.

Washington is the perfect purgatory for PLD. Right back to the beginning of his career, round 1 exits at best.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Rob Blake turned their assets from PLD to Kuemper in one season, holy f*** he's horrid

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

that PLD contract is so, so terrible

 

[tailfins]

https://x.com/i/web/status/1803502467180798032

They're both useless. Why take the more costly player with longer term? Unless Washington is thinking they can try to make it work with Dubois for a year and if it doesn't work out, they buy him out after the Cup finals next year before his buyout flips from 1/3 to 2/3?

 

[Devilsgrl35]

The only thing missing today is a huge contract extension from the #1 free agent to be.

 

[Forge]

I really thought they were going to buy him out if the finals ended early enough.

 

[Brodeur]

I forget if it was Marek or Friedman, but one of them mentioned Dubois/Kuemper as an idea a few months back.

I wonder when teams are flying to Vegas for the draft, usually teams have some final meetings a few days beforehand. So maybe teams getting some NHL roster business done first so they can focus on their rankings?

"Devils re-sign Chris Tierney"

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

so the result is Vilardi, Iafallo, Kupari and a 2nd for Kuemper

big WOOF

 

[Forge]

Looking back, that Laine / PLD trade is just kind of wild

NHL:

Yeah I was convinced Calgary was doing it just to f*** with Edmonton getting news but now other moves are happening too lol, now it feels like all these teams started getting shit done after Game 3 and are getting too antsy to hold off on announcing it.

Ballpark goalie tandems:

UFA:
1B: Samsonov-Talbot-Brossoit
2: Stolarz-Kahkonen-Wedgewood-Nedeljkovic-Lankinen-DeSmith-Pickard-Driedger-Jones-Reimer-Copley-Comrie-Raanta

Pretty much every starting spot spoken for aside from Toronto. We'll see if Utah wants to upgrade. If Boston dealt Ullmark, it sounds like they would stay internal and promote their AHL goalie Brandon Bussi. Not that many backup spots either.

ANA: Gibson - Dostal
CGY: Wolf - Vladar
EDM: Skinner - Campbell
LAK: Kuemper - Rittich
SEA: Grubauer - Daccord
SJS: Blackwood - Vanecek
VAN: Demko - Silovs
VGK: Hill - Thompson

CHI: Mrazek - Soderblom
COL: Georgiev - Annunen?
DAL: Oettinger -
MIN: Gustavsson - Fleury
NSH: Saros - Askarov?
STL: Binnington - Hofer
UTH: Ingram - Vejmelka
WPG: Hellebucyk -

BOS: Swayman - Ullmark - Bussi
BUF: Luukkonen - Levi?
DET: Husso - Lyon
FLO: Bobrovsky - Knight
MON: Montembeault - Primeau
OTT: Korpisalo - Forsberg
TBL: Vasilevskiy - Johansson?
TOR: - Woll

CAR: Andersen - Kochetkov
CLB: Merzlikins - Tarasov
NJD: Markstrom - Allen
NYI: Sorokin - Varlamov
NYR: Shesterkin - Quick
PHI: Ersson - Fedotov
PIT: Jarry -
WSH: Lindgren -

Funny thing is if Blake just traded that for Helly, you can understand it way more. Now they have no PLD, none of those guys you mentioned and a old goalie on a bloated deal who's already won and probably couldn't care less about winning lol

The Habs, Panthers and Jackets abbreviations made me think I was reading a Friedman tweet
