NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIII: 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs for Thee

[Blackhawkswincup]

Any cap-related reasons why there's multiple trades today of all days? Or just a case of when it rains, it pours?

Well draft is only a little over a week away

Its June 19th and teams have likely been waiting to make moves but Oilers winning games 4 and 5 have extended wait to offseason and overall the time frame from end of season to FA is getting smaller and smaller

 

[Curufinwe]

Buyouts can’t happen till 48 hours after the last game

Which makes things even tighter

I think once the first trade got out, everyone just decided to forget about the league not wanting stuff announced during the finals. Maybe you shouldn’t give your entire league like 20 minutes to do their entire offseason.

Fair point(s). At first I was wondering if there was any bonus payment deadline teams where trying to get away from. But that doesn't make sense as the season isn't even over yet.

He sucks because he’s on a plane to Edmonton?

Because he could have waited two minutes and tweeted full information.

He’s probably not getting full information while on a plane

 

[GKJ]

Friedman and Marek on 32T alluding that Goodrow being claimed by San Jose may have been arranged because the Sharks may have been on his no-trade list, and he would’ve went elsewhere, maybe back to Tampa, had he been bought out, which didn’t help the Rangers.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Sharks fans called this.

Has to be one of the biggest waiver claims money wise in NHL history. For a (bad) fourth liner. This League.

And here I thought PLD had negative value. The dude seems like he’s the league blunt. Just gets passed around every year

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Well that's an interesting bit.

Lebrun tweeted the full trade 5 minutes later. It's just another case of Friedman's compulsion to be first instead of fully accurate.

He got enough information to post one tweet; he was just impatient.

 

[DancingPanther]

Well that's an interesting bit.

Carolina with a goalie? Sheesh

 

[Curufinwe]

I don’t think you get how their business works

 

[GKJ]

Wtf lol

There was a rumor he was getting moved for Ullmark at the deadline.

Which I don’t know how real that was, if you weren’t willing to figure that out now.

Well that's an interesting bit.

I wonder if Saros is Detroit.

Dallas dumped Dellandrea in SJ for a 4th. We were lucky they didn't take Farabee at 13 in 2018.

Briere is cursing

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The Gretzky era black & silver jersey/logo are the best imo.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Purple and gold or bust.

Purple and gold or bust.

I like purple and gold for an alternate, but its just too much for full time.

I think teams have gone overboard with making everything colorful. Nothing wrong with at least some Black lol.

Too much awesome? That's not a real thing.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

At least give me black and purple again. Anything but ****ing black, white and gray (sorry, "silver").

Wrong! The yellow mains are a bit much for full time. But not the purples.

Right!

The Kings current color template should be thrown into the endless burning fires of the Darvaza gas crater in Turkmenistan. If you think that looks good -- or better than this! -- donate your eyes to someone who could put better use to them.

I dunno man. I like watching them every so often as a non-Kings fan, but I think I would get sick of them 41 times a year.
