Around the NHL 2024 25

[WolfHouse]

St Louis's "incredible offensive depth" is too much for us?? Incredible is quite the stretch.

That is a weird one - St Louis has almost the same structure as us... strong first scoring line, second line has great games and not great games, third checking and a fourth line

 

[Buffdog]

Hey, the Jets might be able to push St Louis to 7 games though.

St. Louis Blues’ 2 Most Likely 1st-Round Playoff Opponents

I guess the fact that the Jets are 3rd in the league for GF (St Louis and their incredible depth is 13th) isn't something the author bothered looking into

Resting them for the playoffs, or actually injured?

According to Bailey Curtis of The Hockey News, the Avalanche will be leaving for their road trip without Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar as neither will make the trip. In addition to those two, the Avalanche will be missing four other players in Ross Colton, Jonathan Drouin, Ryan Lindgren, and Josh Manson.

Totally...Colorado is locked in to 3rd in the Central. Can't catch Dallas, and can't be caught by Minnesota or St. Louis.

So looks like tax free state Tampa is having a hard time signing a US college player too.
Michigan State star Isaac Howard will not be signing with the Tampa Bay Lightning and will instead return to school for his senior season.
Time for a rule change ... can't draft US college players unless they are finished their senior year.

They should be resting Ehlers. Need him for playoffs we can still finish #1 in div and league without him. Also give Helly rest.

 

[RabidOne]

Ah. Forgot. Almost thought we led the league in goals against for a second there.

Stop it with your “facts” and “statistics”.

Smart move plus Dallas can't scout the Avs last 2 games.

I remember when he was drafted. Kid comes across as a cocky arrogant punk.

Another McG situation
Tampon Bay will likely trade his rights

 

[WolfHouse]

Can guys make more money in ncaa...?

 

[voyageur]

Well Calgary getting the job done against Minnesota tonight. Wild will still hold on to the WC1 spot over the Blues by virtue of regulation wins. But each team down two games, Wild against Canucks and Ducks, Blues against Kraken and No Names. So could go either way. Flames still have to win out to make the playoffs, in all likelihood. And still likely to be the last team eliminated.

Wild have Zeev Buium joining the team after Nehring's Western Michigan Broncos knocked Denver out of the NCAA Frozen Four semifinals. Will be interesting to see if he gets some playoff action, knocking his first ELC year off, hoping for a Makar effect, at an even younger age than when Makar left UM Amherst.

I'm not sure about hockey, but football and basketball? Oh yes indeed. Some crazy money to be had there, in the millions. It may well be more than Tampa was offering for his ELC.

 

[WolfHouse]

Leafs going with 5 D... and myers is awful

Who are you talking about?

 

[Jet]

God I'd love to see the Flames knock the wild out of the playoffs. It'd be lovely.

 

[Heldig]

So who would be the Jets preferred matchup in round 1?

A slumping Minnesota
The hot until recently Blues?
The late entry Calgary Flames?

 

[Bender Duster]

So basically like most of the USNDTP players?

i think anyone will be ok.

But its not official yet

Jets might face Colorado still

 

[enuffidiotsalready]

[Thechozen1]

Flames wild St Louis

 

[Adam da bomb]

Flames wild St Louis

Obviously take the slumping team. Then flames as St. Louis is a legitimate good team and Thomas is awesome. Binnington we have seen go super hot before.

They'd be to old for the draft and would just go directly to FA anyways per the CBA. CHL players can also go this route and end up UFAs at 20/21 if they wanted to just most take the guaranteed money.

I pick the Flames first because the wild have legit game changers and they're getting healthy
