Pre-Game Talk: Countdown thread to 24-25 Season (T - 9 hours)

[The Real Timo]

Frankie Corrado just ripped the Habs pk saying it's too basic and will get pulled apart.

He is not wrong.

 

[Hannibal]

Wheres the fn GDT? Its the opener for f***s sake!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Woll might be hurt.

- Mark Masters on team 1200.

No idea why they're talking about Habs and Leafs, but he mentioned that.

Leafs call up Hildeby because Woll might be hurt.

Leafs call up Hildeby because Woll might be hurt.

Again ? The narrative around him is that he is injury prone.

Moving Price to LTIR mid-season helps the Habs because contracts are accrued daily, so $2m cap space can bring in $6m+ contract mid-season or later. It keeps our options open & we won't have any issues at TD to either bring on a contract to help another team, or retain on one of our own players (Dvorak).

The Price LTIR becomes more valuable the longer we wait to do it.

Habs are already using LTIR (off-season one at that via RHP), they won't be accruing anything until both RHP and Laine contracts are removed from LTIR and the team is under the cap or they move about $3m of salary (if puck media is accurate) before those two are removed from LTIR (they need to stay there for 24 days minimum).

Woll didn't look like a guy who wasn't going to play tonight yesterday...

 

[Saundies]

Going into the season with Woll and Stolarz is verrrrrry suspect. Woll is a good goalie when he's healthy but that's the thing, he rarely is.

Stolarz has never had a full season workload essentially and don't get me started on Matt Murray's health stuff. The Leafs are going to be in the playoffs, they're just too good up front not to be, but I honestly think this is an achilles heel for this team.

Shocking lol

They'll be alright in net after they trade Marner for Shesterkin

This would be kind of hilarious because they lipped for years about how overpaid Price was and how you couldn't win with a goalie making that much (and Igor wants more).

Can mods shut down this thread at puck drop?

Maybe we'll get no mods for tonight?

ABB over Kapanen is mighty annoying.

He'll get in, they're starting off back-to-back.

Whether it's ABB or Heineman, I fully expect him to start next game.

 

[The Great Weal]

I can’t wait for that bottom 6 to change next year.

I know, it's just annoying cause ABB is a Laval filler body.. and Kapanen is a part of our future. Rather see the guys that matter, selfishly.

Because we're not very good.

Probably because you have Joel Armia and Alex Newhook on the 2nd line.

 

[HomaridII]

Not to mention "Where Offense goes to die" Dvorak and Anderson.

 

[The Great Weal]

Not to mention "Where Offense goes to die" Dvorak and Anderson.

And AHLer ABB on the 3rd line. Our strategy this year to be in the mix consists of praying.

Surprised that ABB is seen as a solution. He is AHL fodder. MSL will see it soon enough
