Around the NHL - (Off-season edition)

[All Mighty]

They’re the ones who ought to make a play for Rantanen honestly.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Carolina and Utah should, too.

The Sabres trading Eichel for a middling return is the big problem. Eichel is a top 5 player in the world and they got Alex Tuch and Payton Krebs in return LMAO

bringing in a dinosaur like ruff as HC was puzzling too

Spencer Knight still looking completely awful at the NHL level, 3 goals given up on 7 shots against the Sabres early in the 2nd period.

Sabres trading at all is a problem. Trading a (roughly) top 50 prospect, and a top young player in the Sabres system in Savoie to acquire Tullio (a fringe AHL level player) and McLeod (4th line forward) is certainly a vibe.

Pretty sure Savoie is trying to stick at centre and Buffalo need centres too....

Colorado might panic trade for goaltending. George looks awful.

0.619 sv% for Colorado so far this season.....woof.

The fact they think Kahkonen is an upgrade on what they have now just about says it aall.

utah is going to win a cup in the next 5 seasons

Dylan Guenther is really really good. I remember wanting him and Luke Hughes in 2021. I’m happy with McTavish but man Guenther looks like a 50 goal scorer

Some reporters like Pronman said we could go after him with our pick and I wasn't impressed with that.

Also, he took multiple years to arrive here but looks like it's paying off

Main boards are just the lane Hutson boards now

I’m not sure I would rank him as even a top 10 center in the league, and his health has still been suspect the last 2 seasons.

Can’t say that Buffalo was going to get more for him as damaged as he was, either, but Buffalo gotta Buffalo.

OTT beats LA 8-7.

I'm guessing Krebs will get traded before Dahlin.

That’s 4 games’ worth of offense for us.

Admittedly he looks like what I was hoping Zellweger would be.

So you’re saying Verbeek might win a trade with Buffalo…

I don't even know what the premise is for this complaint but I love that they're still butthurt by that goal like a decade later.

if the world is still around in 100 years, you can bet that oilers fans will still be angry about that goal

The irony in the fact that it’s Corey Perry they’re defending in this instance is not lost on me

I didn’t realize Crosby was already top-10 all time in points. I guess he’ll catch Lemieux pretty easily. Wonder if he’ll join the 1800 club, too.

Doesn't feel like that long ago all the talk was would Crosby be able to keep playing despite the concussions. He should get to 1800 if he stays healthy, needs 67 points a season for the rest of his contract. Wonder if he plays into his 40's to try and get #2 all time....probably a big ask though.

especially given his style of play. it's amazing that he not only was able to overcome the concussion issues, but that he's still playing at an elite level over a decade later
