Around the NHL - Congrats to the Tampa Bay Lightning!

Kinda glad we don't have to face the Eichel-Hall duo.

Aside from McDavid, Eichel might be the single player in the league that scares me the most

Eric Staal has always been a Leaf killer too.

Ho-Sang not invited to Iles camp lol. You'd think Babcock were the GM with how they're sewering him.

He's a tool though. Extremely talented but he's an awful human being. Not surprised the big club doesn't wamt him around.

Maybe he's matured since his Windsor days but I doubt much.

I agree he's a tool, but wasting a contract on a guy you won't even give a shot to is bizarre.

Looks like Kapanen will miss training camp and possibly the start of the Penguins season due to immigration issues and potential quarantine.

How do you let it get this late in the process before heading back to NA?

So, Laine wants out of Winnipeg and thinks it would be in the mutual interests of both parties.

Pepperidge farms remembers the "Laine's better!" chants. Oh the good old days when Jets fans and some Finnish fans were delusional enough to believe they got the best player in the draft. Auston's averaging 46 goals 83 points per 82 thus far into his NHL career. Laine is averaging 37 goals 66 points per 82 and a whole lotta excuses.

He's wanted out from the beginning... from day one he said all he does is play video games because there is nothing else to do.

Yea... not a good start to an already short season.

Laine strikes me as a guy that just wants a paycheck. When he's UFA he'll sign in a place like Florida to live it up while staying out of the spotlight.

 

[Menzinger]

The Laine experiment certainly hasn't worked out as Jets fans hoped

 

[Buds17]

So...Laine for Dubois?

Typical high IQ Kapanen move.

Lol Lou... You need to sign Barzal and then you give $1.5M x 4 to a 4th liner and a guy who clearly wanted to be and Islander that you could have squeezed to 700k.

ESPN ranked the Leafs the most watchable team in the league.

being unable to sign your best player for more than 3 years due to financial constraints is pretty poor cap management

Glad Dregs tweeted this. Just goes to show what overpaying for depth does.

I thought Dreger was no longer considered an insider and shouldn’t be trusted?

 

[tokyoite]

corey crawford call it quits. retires from hockey.
Corey Crawford retires from NHL after 10-year career

Nothing that he wrote in that tweet constitutes being an insider. They overpaid their depth, and were unable to lock up their best player long term because of it. 3 years always made sense because that's when a lot of their dumb contracts come off the books.
