So Utah needs to add one more name to their list. Since they already have the Utah Jazz the hockey team clearly needs to be the Utah Saxsquatch. Even got a mascot ready to go who can make an original theme song. You're welcome Utah...

Early returns but Colorado fans are probably feeling a little bit more comfortable right now.
Carolina setting itself back like that was really helpful given how NJ is struggling. At some point you expect Carolina to get it together but at least they aren't pulling away from NJ right now.

Hall is probably toast.
I'm sure he'll get some goals and some points eventually. I don't think he's 1 point in 5 games toast, but I don't feel like he makes much of a difference at all anymore.
I doubt I'm gonna be right about this, but I wouldn't be shocked if this is his last year in the league. It probably won't be, but he feels much older than he really is.
Then again, maybe he doesn't. 34 year old forwards (he won't be 34 until November, which is next season) aren't particularly good. He's not Crosby or Ovechkin. We all see how lost Stamkos looks at 34 since he went bye bye to Nashville. He's 2 years older than Hall, but I'm pretty sure he was better 2 years ago than Hall is now. Kucherov factor aside.

I’m obviously enjoying the 7 game results but it’s too early to write off Rantanen in Carolina.
The most amusing twist I’ve read is Carolina trading him at the TDL if they can’t sign him, though that might be conjecture rather than reporting. (They have 8 game/~1 month, so tick tock lol.)
It’s hard to see Rantanen signing anything at this point unless Carolina offers something close to his asking price. Maybe he gives a little discount for taxes and maybe a little discount for the 8th year but if he really wanted something close to $13 mil per from the Avs hard to see him taking less from Carolina . Hard to see Carolina offering a deal that rich but crazier things have happened.
