Around the NHL 2024/25

Sabres are such a bad organization. Was listening to a few podcasts rip into them for cutting back on scouting and development of their players. Playing young guys all over the lineup, giving them huge contracts before they do really anything. I have no idea why they are playing Benson, kid will be ruined in a year or 2.

Agreed. The Sabres are an absolute train wreck of an organization.

Out of curiosity, I looked up if Laine was still entirely a one trick pony. And holy shit. The guy is absolutely unplayable 5v5 9 years into his career.

If the playoffs started today 6 of 7 Canadian teams would be in. That's a Christmas present for Uncle Gary.

You wonder though how low the Canadian dollar will go? Will it start to affect the competitive advantage of small market teams, and the revenues of the league?

My wife, a casual hockey fan, watching Laine: "All he does is stand in that one spot and wait for someone to pass to him". Me: "Yeah, but he is REALLY good at it".

Wow, he's just getting buried at 5v5 in Montreal.

Generational PP specialist. Good for Lane Hutson. Unless he has to play with him 5v5, of course.

I think Montreal has the all minus team over there with Caufield,Suzuki,Laine,Anderson,Hutson etc.. I think they are a collective -250 and I don't think anyone of them has ever been a plus player
