Around the NHL 2024-25 regular season

I heard Chytil was out yesterday but didn’t know Miller was the one who took him out until today.

He's had some significant concussions and he needs to err on the side of caution. The Rangers can live without him for a week or two if need be. He's a pretty good third liner and probably borderline middle six but he is already at significant injury risk.

He’s been fantastic this year and is huge loss for them. The “Kids Line” had 11 GF and 0 GA and great advanced stats in 14 GP.

Is it really a kids line anymore? Hasn't Lafreniere been moved up to the top six exclusively?

I don't even dislike Nashville as a franchise in the least.

But I'm kind of sadistically enjoying how bad they've been this year. I'm not sure what their fans thought, but the media was pumping them as STANLEY CUP CONTENDERS! for their offseason and praising Trotz for that mega UFA splurge.

And they've fallen flat on their face. It reminds me of the Rangers right before the lockout. And all the guys they picked up are so old that they would have already been eligible for UFA several years ago even in the pre-lockout 31 years old for UFA era.

Well, Skjei is maybe a year younger than that.

It's pretty hilarious. I really don't see much significant talent under 30 years old over there. Forsberg is 30, Saros is just barely under it.

Nyquist, Schenn (YES! Luke Schenn is ACTUALLY STILL in the NHL!) Josi, Stamkos, Marchessault, O'Reilly, all these guys are all OLD. They're not all bad, but they're all closer to 35 than anything and some of them got some really high miles. Feels like O'Reilly is closer to 37 than 34.

I'm glad we didn't sign either one of those two old forwards they did this summer.

Yea he’s basically their best center at 5 on 5. He should have been getting more ice time

Pretty wild, haven't really actively watched him play, so it's hard to be surprised, but what a ride his career has been.

Bring him home Fitz!

I feel bad for him at this point, even though he turned heel on us at the end with his comments during that one home game about booing fans, and then the ear cupping motion when he scored a goal the next game.

Probably mostly due to injuries, he was injured almost the entire season last year. He got hurt early on and never came back until this year.

He was also never as good as the MVP year.

We dodged a bullet, to put it mildly. We were talking about giving him a $10 million a year deal for 8 years, which would still have 3 more years on it after this.

I cannot imagine Taylor Hall as the highest paid player on the team right now. And there'd definitely be fewer guys we have now to make room for the difference in what we're paying him. First of all, no Timo on the team. That's crossed right off. And even if we eventually got him then we would have never signed Dougie at all. What if we didn't re-sign Bratt because we had him?

Go mess around with the cap sites and see who you have to take away to get him his $10 million.

I had to look up his current season numbers. 2 goals 6 points in 17 games.

I’ll be honest, it took me a couple tries to remember which team Hall plays for now. I totally forgot he isn’t on the Bruins anymore.

(If you’re in the same boat, I’ll save you the trip to Google. He’s on the Blackhawks)

Hall looked awful in the one game I saw him in earlier this season. He's lost his speed and can't really do a whole lot without it. Sadly this seems to have been sort of inevitable - the way in which he fearlessly crossed the blueline and went into traffic seemed destined to result in knee injuries at some point.

remainder of the roster is a game time decision?

I knew he was on the Blackhawks because they won the draft lottery the past 2 years.
