NHL: Around the League 50

Strome with two goals as the Caps are up 2-0 on the Oil. Man are the Oilers bad in their own zone.

Putting Strome out on a 4v4 vs 97 and 29 is certainly some type of strategy.

Just added a PP helper, 3 point night.

I watch a lot of the Caps they're fun. Strome has to have seven or eight points on the PP now.

I think I read earlier that he leads the team in PP points. He's a nice player on a good team at a low AAV, I wouldn't want to be the team that ends up paying him 5/6 per.

2 goals, 1 assist.

Hockey players don't get much better than that.

Not enough of a line driver.

Cizikas runs another goalie last night. Markstrom this time.

That might be a favor for Calgary the way he has been playing.

One question I have: How are the Blues this bad? Is it just a slow start? Their D has been trash and not much goal scoring which is odd with that roster.

Why even risk jinxing it.

Only out of concern for our own tank. Trust me I enjoy watching them lose more than any other team!

Said it in the offseason and I'll say it again.

Seth Jones for Risto and JvR.

Jones could potentially waive so he can play for Torts again, and we'd be free of his shitty contract.

Blergh. No thank you.

Blergh. No thank you.

Risto only has 4 more years after this, and it's a much easier contract to move down the line.

JvR can be flipped at the deadline for assets.

It's a good trade for Chicago.

I'd rather have seven years of a very good defenseman than four more years of an awful one.

If/when KD tests the market on Jones, people here will be surprised with the return. Between the cap going up and #1 d-men being impossible to get, his contract isn’t nearly as dire as the rest of hf would like us to believe.

Just when you think the takes can't get any worse....

Lol big yikes

Lmao. What in the actual f***?

 

[Pez68]

That can't be real, can it?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Puts the Hossa discussion in perspective at least.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Like seriously forty years from now somebody's gonna pull up Neil's hockey db page and assume he died during his career.

Worst player in the league (apparently) on a 5.1 million cap hit. How is that not an impossible contract to move?

 

[Joemoe]

Would be cool to see McDavid do 50 in 50 but even with scoring up that is a lot of goals in only 50 games.
