Around the NHL 2024/25

[Joe Hallenback]

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

I've said this before but the Habs, just seem to me as just about as poorly constructed team you could assemble. Undersized, only offence, no defense, I think they will be in the running with Buffalo as the longest running dysfunctional organization.

Rangers have apparently traded Kappo Kakko to Seattle per Friedman

Wtf is Drury doing. At least trade him for a good soon to be UFA RD if you're going that route.

 

[Romang67]

Chevy dropped the ball. We could have gotten rid of Stanley AND improved the Moose roster slightly.

 

[jetsforever]

Rangers are losing their minds right now

At least he's "proven in the playoffs"

On the main boards Ranger fans don't seem to be too impressed by the trade.

Looks like some teams are doing some house keeping before the holiday brake

Caufield is the worst defensive forward in the league and it looks like Hutson will be in the running as worst defensive D.

 

[Jets 31]

The Rangers are a mess , amazing that they were one of the top teams when we played them and broke them.

 

[MardyBum]

I'm sure there are worse, probably not as high profile ones. But trying to insulate their deficiencies with garbage and young inexperienced players probably isnt the solution .

I legit chuckled when I saw this.

If they weren't in freaking Manhattan, the Rags would be a Sabres-tier organization.

Krappo any good? #2 overall

 

[Buffdog]

Leafs up on the Stars 4-2 despite being outshot 25-12

I'm gonna peruse HFLeafs GDT to see if they're freaking the f*** out over the fact that they're winning but being dominated like HFJets would be
