Oh look Florida lighting up Carolina’s AHL goalie. What a concept.

Florida is winning the East again.

Jiricek + 5th to MIN for a 1st, 2nd, 4th + Daemon Hunt (2020 3rd rounder)

f***ing annoying

They’re an actual team

There are people here who actually thought Lindgren was better than Chychrun.

You say that but I'm also seeing Columbus decides to suit TWO LHD (Jake Christiansen & Jordan Harris) over playing Jiricek. What the heck is up with that? Is your frustration based on his draft position or have you been watching all the Cleveland Monster games? I know he's only 21 but I don't see any clear signs that says his stock is still trending up.

Michkov is a real one. Gonna be fun watching him vs Bedard for the next 15 plus years. As soon as the Flyers get good I can see myself hating him.

Why can't drury make trades like these

Maybe we can trade him for a few picks now lol

I mean, he’s a 6’3 210lb 21 year old (as of 2 days ago) defense first D who moves well and 60 points in 88 AHL games. He’s raw and needs more time to truly be NHL ready but he certainly shouldn’t have really lost any stock. The world has become very impatient with prospects because of the McDavids and Matthews and Eichels that came through the draft. Jiricek at 25 will be a really, really solid D. Prime Parayko. He’ll never be a Karlsson or Letang or Dahlin or Makar but he’ll be a damn good D first guy who can play in your top 3 easily, IMO.

It’s a great get for Minnesota, who is looking good right now but also has Ohgren, Rossi, Yurov, Kusnetsidinovofwhatever, Faber, Jiricek and Walstedt. Looking like a solid future.

In my very inconsequential opinion, Michkov will put up great numbers, Bedard will eventually be a very Jack Hughes-ish player (when the Hawks have a little better supporting cast) but Celebrini is going to be the best of the trio. Celebrini, who I didn’t love as a prospect, has looked so good in the NHL… I think his game is just going to translate incredibly well and he looks just very poised and very, very dangerous while also being quite raw on a bad team. I think he’s the best prospect in hockey.

Why can't drury make trades like these

Simply because he traded all of our draft picks away already. Unless you want to trade two 1sts. But what's a guy like Drury gonna use to trade at the TDL then? Did you ever thing about how that might actually ruin Drury's weekend?
