Around the NHL: 2024-25 Season, Are You Not Entertained?

Marino or Fabbro wouldve been nice. Obviously, Marino hold more value (and should've been targeted heavily when made available), but even adding Fabbro would allow Ruff to break up what really doesn't work, which is pairing Joki with Power. If that doesn't work, you atleast get a possibly better option on the 3rd pair than Bryson. We just cant count on Sammy being what he was or even healthy for that matter. Once he sucked and went down again, Adams shouldve been all over a Fabbro like addition.

I think there were different potential options over the years, but Adams kept riding the Jokiharju train (which by the way also suffered injuries at one time). It also seems Adams probably didn't even know that it was important for Ruff to have a defenseman playing on his side. Marino was traded twice, Kovacevic was sold for a fourth, Fabbro was available for literally nothing, Jensen was traded in the summer. This is just the first thing that came to mind, if you dig you can find more options.

Shesterkin should have taken the $11 million per that the Rangers offered him.

That sucks.

Explains why Canada left him off their training camp roster for the WJC.

So it was the same guys who went with Biz.

Biz may also want to make sure he doesn't get UHC CEO'd.

So much for the Preds winning free agency...

So much for that Assistant Coach to Ruff being responsible for the Devils 110 plus point season

Always wondered at that claim since the underlying numbers before and after Brew-nette was in Jersey remained good. The difference *again* was goaltending.

The Buffalo Sabres are the New York Jets.

Their clown is the GM/Owner, not a delusional QB/Owner, but it's the same story.

Is this what Kevyn is trying to tell us?

Since this dropped way after the press conference was announced, I doubt it.

Would Trouba give us that RHD that we desperately need? Ship Joki out?

No.

I am unconvinced that Trouba is currently better at playing defense than Jokiharju.

Agree but I'll take the incredibly wreckless play and hopefully some calls that wouldn't get called against him that would get called against Joki

 

[MarkusKetterer]

No chance that’s happening

 

[Chainshot]

At least Dreger is saying Buffalo isn't in on Trouba...

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Drury won't give up anything good for him tho...

 

[Jim Bob]

Brooks vs Garrioch.

Just like the good old days.
