Around the NHL - (2024-25)

Let's not forget that Heatley is also a Ducks legend!

Scores on his first shift in preseason

I don't recall that total amount was more. I just know the AAV was higher, but the term was far shorter. Verbeek was really stuck to his rubric when he was first hired. Years later, he's offering multi-year deals to 34-year old Killorn (4 years) and 33-year old Gudas (3 years). Lindholm's 8th year of his 8-year term, he would be 35 years old. Lindholm's AAV with Boston was $6.5 mil AAV, but said he would have given the Ducks a hometown discount. Verbeek gave Killorn $6.25 mil AAV.

No idea why there's hate for Lindholm when he wanted to stay for less to finish his career with the Ducks.

Absolutely insane. Thank you for making me angry so early in the morning

Capitals goalie Lindgren scored on himself tonight. Pretty crazy to see.

Put him on the Ducks 1st line

Cronin would sit him as he didn't start with a dump and chase before scoring the goal.


(I know we started to NOT dump and chase that much lately tho)

Not like the ducks are THAT much better but I'm kind of enjoying this:



I guess there will be no U2 concerts for that team for a while.

Trotz has zero idea what he’s doing.

Reporter - "Steven, why aren't you guys putting the puck in the net?"
Stamkos - "I don't know"

Man, that guy would have fit in here perfectly.

OK, sorry, I can't help it. This is funny every time I watch it no matter how many times I've watched it!

I always liked the KITH take on it:

Wow what a great trade for Minnesota. Quantity for Quality.
Minnesota is a great team atm so that is gonna be a very late first, late 2nd, late 3rd, late 4th.
Absolutely Sucks for Columbus when you look at what Anaheim got for damaged goods Drysdale (6th overall pick) and Jiricek being the 6th overall pick in 2022.

Jiricek was probably a better rated prospect coming out than Drysdale was. OTOH, Drysdale had showed a bit more in actual NHL games, despite the injuries.

I bet if they'd shopped Jiricek last year though, Philly might have taken him over Drysdale for Cutter. So I guess it's lucky for us.

It's not going to matter unless Jiricek loses the ego and accepts he needs to play a decent amount of time at the AHL level.

He's way off being an effective NHL player right now.

Exactly. The idea that the Wild won the trade already is quite a bit on the premature side. Time will tell.
