Don't think they'll make it? LOL. Not a chance. They are 19 points behind Washington with 25 games to go. It's over and the more points they get the more it hurts their draft position. I see them finishing about 10th in the east which would be the worst thing that could happen to them.Islanders too. Don't think they'll make it , but would be nice to stomp them down tomorrow.
Disagree. I thought we were the better team the first game and the Preds were the better team in the second.Both games were close on the scoreboard, but they really manhandled us, IMO.

It's fair, especially since how cheap Jarnkrok is.Surprised Jarnkrok got back such a strong return, and I understand why we would pass on that. Other options out there. Jarnkrok could still be a UFA target depending on price this summer. I think we still have another top nine type coming.
If the Caps manage to overtake us (we have a tough stretch ahead and their schedule and ours is pretty even the rest of the way), then we will probably end up in the last wild card spot. Would it even be a bad thing? Going up against Florida or Carolina in the first round? Just get it out of the way.Caps beat up on the Jackets. They are 3pts behind the Rangers in the Metro.
The only team i want to stay away from is the Lightning. They know how to win.If the Caps manage to overtake us (we have a tough stretch ahead and their schedule and ours is pretty even the rest of the way), then we will probably end up in the last wild card spot.

TBL and PITT. We don't beat Pitt in a 7 game series either.The only team i want to stay away from is the Lightning. They know how to win.

i did cancel my subscription. Can't stand them.I despise every hockey writer at The Athletic. If it weren’t for the baseball writing I would cancel my subscription.
Don't think they're a "real bad team", will be bubble for a few years.Noah Dobson is having a breakout season on Long Island . He is 22 and a RFA . What is best thing for him? I say get out of there ASAP . Will Isles go short or long on him ? He could be a 8- 10 million dollar guy soon if he keeps tracking & on a real bad team for 5-6 more seasons . Can he be offer sheeted ? I think there is a note on his Arbitration Status saying needs one more season ? I'm not sure how that works. I thought as soon as the ELC was over he would be eligible ? What is the best way for him to get to the biggest payday the fastest and out of NY ? What would his agent be thinking right now ?
