Around the NHL: PTO Season Becomes Waiver Season

[SnuggaRUDE]

Not really crazy. It's how the NHL designed the 1-point for OT losses to work. It artificially keeps teams bundled together in the middle of the standings to help keep interest (thus tickets sold) for as many as possible.

While the 3 point games help, but they really lean on game management to get those games into OT.

Article Here Apparently Sinclair is going to miss a $140 million dollar debt interest payment this February and they owe a total of $55 billion for sports media rights. It doesn't help that they botched the rollout of their app (this is conjecture on my part). If I were the NHL I'd purchase...

Preds board talking about local media reports that Fabbro is getting moved (radio). Please Kevyn, this kid is the right type of move for this group, and Owen Power.

Reality is the Bruins will swoop in and trade for him for peanuts and he’ll develop in Boston.

I don't think Adams sees it like you do. I'm 90% certain he wants to see Power and Joker together until the end of the year (or whenever Joker gets hurt next), and then make a decision/determination as to if he needs to go and get Power a long-term partner.

I don't think Adams makes any sort of move like that in-season.......

Bold of you to assume the Preds will accept peanuts when packing peanuts exist

Whats going on with Bally and Diamond sports bankruptcy?

The own the TV rights to 42 teams including 12 NHL teams.

Teams aren’t going to get their tv rights money. This can affect cap growth

what complicates this is manyare baseball teams who have special rules being monopoly exempt.

Broberg has had a 2nd goal go in off of him and the Wings are up 3-1, mid-way through the 2nd.

RNH gets his second of the game to pull back within one.

Oilers come back to take the Wings to OT.

2-on-1 scrimmage in the Oiler-Wing OT. Just roaring up and down the ice with the 2-on-1's.

Rather glad Buffalo is done with Arizona this year -

Does two 2nd round picks get it done? Does Rosen appeal to them?

Their fans seem to think Poille and Hynes are on a size kick. So maybe picks. Though their PP could really use a shot like Olofsson’s.

I floated Olofsson and Fitzgerald for Fabbro and Jankowski a while back and Preds fans thought it was fair value.

Hynes directs everyone to finish their hits. I can't see Poile looking at Vic's body of work and thinking that is going to be a fit. It would likely have to be picks or a shuffle of similar defensemen.

Florida at the Caps tonight, Forsling makes it 1-0 Panthers. Just no three point game please.

Florida W is probably better, right?

 

[Mattilaus]

tbh I kinda want washington to win. Florida scares me more than washington does.

 

[Chainshot]

Probably. After tonight, Buffalo will have five games in hand on the Panthers and four on the Caps so Panthers winning in regulation seems like the better outcome.

Probably because they've had our number for a while.

 

[Mattilaus]

Probably because they've had our number for a while.

Nah I just feel like they are a better team who had a bad first half. I feel like they are much more likely to win a lot down the stretch than washington is and therefore washington would be easier to catch.

 

[Chainshot]

Well Florida is now up 2-0.

Elsewhere, Kotkaniemi has scored on Montreal as one must.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

If we don’t make the playoffs, I hope Florida makes it. Because I really want Habs fans to stop celebrating how they ripped them off with the Chiarot trade.

 

[Chainshot]

Make it 3-0 for Florida.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Make it 3-0 for Florida.

Love to see it

 

[Zman5778]

Make it 3-0 for Florida.

I can't help but get this feeling that they're about to show us the deuces as they rocket by us.
