Around the NHL 2024-25 regular season

Well now that Blackwood has gotten his medical degree from Facebook Medical School he’s too pricey

I’m pretty sure Facebook is the opposite of where Blackwood got his medical degree.

I bet they’ll now start Wedgewood against us next week when they come in. So even though he’s in the Western conference, we will have had to play him three times with the Nashville relief game.

Minnesota is going to turn him into a top pairing defenseman

Incase anyone was wondering what Nemecs value would be… think it’s pretty massive considering he had a better last year (I don’t think we should trade him).

Who the hell is Daemon Hunt?

Okay, they at least got a first round pick for him.

Worth a claim? We need 4th line bodies

Incase anyone was wondering what Nemecs value would be… think it’s pretty massive considering he had a better last year (I don’t think we should trade him).

If we traded Nemec now for Minny’s 2020 3rd Rd #65 pick, a LHD who’s been in the AHL for several seasons, and some meh picks, this place would freak the f*** out.

Hunt is the Wild’s 8th best prospect on EPRinkside’s list.

The Wild have the 2nd best win % in the NHL. Sure, they may cool down, but that 2025 1st is looking real late.

And 2nd in 2027? Then two more random picks for good measure. Woopie.

This trade is just bizarre.

Either the new regime in Columbus didn’t think much of Jiricek at all or the relationship between the team and the player is super toxic.

And the other offers must have been underwhelming.

People compared the situation to Cutter Gauthier and Rutger McGroaty but they were unsigned NCAA players.

Theoretically Jiricek could threaten to go to Europe, but there’s been no report about that being an issue and that’s typically an empty threat.

weird f***ing trade for the jackets

Can’t believe they actually sold on him
