Pastrank is simply on a different level this year. The guy is absolute filth as he just sniped one past Murray for his 14th of the year.

I be quite the happy camper I have Pasta in both my $$ leagues...the guy is simply phenomenal
 
The Bruins are insane.

Pastrnak has 29 points. Marchand has 28. Krug is an absolute stud.

It would be a complete shocker in my view if Bruins aren't back in the Cup Finals.

They have everything a team needs to win it all.

Except for a productive second line. They’re definitely shopping for a top six winger at the deadline.

I dunno about the lack of a productive 2nd line. With Krecji back from injury and with DeBrusk starting to heat up, they could put whoever they want as the 3rd member of that line and it would be quite formidable.

Bruins are so loaded it's scary...it really is.
 
The San Jose Sharks are not this bad.

Maybe it will take DeBoer getting fired, but they will turn it around. Too much talent not to.
 
For anyone who has The Athletic, I’d recommend checking out this piece by Katie about drug use in the NHL



Very interesting read about cocaine and ecstasy being hot with the younger generation of players

So looking at some guys that we've recently moved on from:

Any surprises? Any regrets? I love seeing Pionk thriving. CF%rel is third on his team, xGF%rel is fifth. Also happy to see Shatty doing well; his CF%rel leads the defensemen on Tampa. Miller having a career year. Vlad doing well playing minutes in Ottawa.

So I’m just going to put this out there now:

Clayton Keller isn’t exactly off to an amazing start to this season.

Don’t think for a minute the Rangers wouldn’t pick up the phone in a flash should Arizona be willing to at least gauge interest from other teams next summer.

For sure, though I wouldn't call 9 points in 14 games a mediocre showing with a 90% or so PDO, which suggests to me he's been a bit unlucky. The Rangers have always liked him. If the Rangers got Edmonton's 4th overall pick in the summer of 2017, there was word (I think from you, some others too I think) that they could have taken Keller 4th overall.

He fits the need and timeline. Who Arizona would be interested in is key. They're more or less set on the left side with OEL and Chychrun. I can't Skjei being of interest. DeAngelo? Wouldn't that be funny if he ended up back in Arizona. Something around he and Keller could work. Rangers add a little something to get it done. That's a solid hockey trade in my book.

I wouldn’t say mediocre, but I also don’t think it’s near the start of the impact the Yotes we’re looking for after making such a significant investment.

Watching the reaction to another 10-15 goal, 50-ish point season could be interesting.
