NHL: Around the League 53

[CanadianHawks]

Keep an eye out here. Depending on if it’s bad, the Stars may get desperate.

Came here to post this. That injury looked bad. Really expect them to take a run at EK or Jones now.

There isn't an easy way for Dallas to make a Jones trade work.

 

[GIADF]

Dallas really doesn't have any bad cap money to send back in a Jones trade and they have some young guys they need to worry about extending.

Seguin on the LTIR and I don't see them moving Benn.

Yeah unless Benn takes a gigantic haircut on his next contract and Seguin is LTIR'd and Chicago retains a lot. Even then they've got young guys to pay

Benn isn’t gonna get close to 9 million or whatever he’s making and some think Seguin is cooked this is both hips now.

I remember when burying Huet was a huge event because of $ involved, ect

Now it's just a regular thing to see terrible overpaid goalies buried in AHL

The difference is Huet's cap hit just went away. Grubauer is gonna cost his contract plus slightly over the league minimum to not play.

Hockey Club is the best. It sounds old school. Mammoth is something from NHL 25 create a team. Wasatch is too obscure for a big 4 sports league.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Wasatch? Uh, no. Mammoth is Wolfie's band. Just leave it as is. It is kinda classy.

 

[GIADF]

I've spent a lot of time in the Wasatch Mountains and they're incredible, but that's just a dreadful name option.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

That feels like a way to push fans to choosing Mammoth as the winner. Wasatch just doesn't work, and leave that boring HC stuff as far away from major American sports as possible. It's already lamely leaked into the MLS by teams desperately trying to ape actually popular soccer leagues.

But Mammoths > Mammoth.

 

[HeisenBaez]

A bad pun alert but what about:

Utah Nothing.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

They are all awful but Mammoth > HC shit

Seriously f*** off with this nonsense first they tried it in NFL and now they want to try it in NHL

 

[Giovi]

It's hard to imagine a more boring team name than their present one.

 

[Crow]

Wasatch sounds like a word for when you have wet, dirty underwear.

 

[Putt Pirate]

I dunno. They had better options than these 3. Looks like how the Minnesota ownership railroaded the Wild name in. It was the worst!

 

[No Fun Shogun]

And they've already doubled back and swapped Wasatch as a finalist with Outlaws.

... are they just flying by the seat of their pants?

 

[ClydeLee]

They dropped the good name for the corniest old timey name of the bunch.

Looks like it. Probably the right move though. I doubt it was getting much support.

I’m forever going to think of them as the wasatch now.

 

[ChiHawks10]

When I hear Wasatch, all that comes to mind is the Utah Bandersnatch for some reason.
