NHL: Around the League 53

Based on that trade, you think a 2nd round pick + Kurashev could have landed us Farabee?

Seems like a missed opportunity

Briere is terrible and this was all because of Torts who has not liked either Frost or Farabee for some reason



Frost has to be absolutely thrilled to finally get away from Torts

Speaking of Flyers/Torts

He again benched Mickhov in game and there was a back and forth between Torts and kid

Michkov since that Jackets game when he got benched in game (Despite two assists) has been in and out of Torts doghouse and last night he finally appeared to show his frustration with Torts

Ask for a trade to Chicago, come play with your buddy Connor

With the new cap numbers coming out. Seth Jones is extremely tradeable and I dont think we want to trade him.

Friedman just posted cap projections rising to about $110 million for 2027-28. That is fantastic for the Blackhawks. Hopefully they can poach good players from the teams that can't keep up

Marner and Rantanen are going to get paid

Just a reminder that Toews and Kane were going to be great deals a couple years into their mega deals because of rising cap projections.

I always remind people of the stupid reddit threads about the Canadian Tar Sands in 2014 and how the strong Canadian dollar was going to drag the salary cup upwards.

Right. Like I get that NHL GM's can't be expected to predict that OPEC is going to flood the oil market and crush the Canadian and Russian economy...

But until the cap is 110 million don't build a team like it is.

Owners gotta be licking lips at the $ they will also get from coming expansion (We know its happening)

I work in a very heavy OT field. Always tell my guys base your bills on your forty hour check. The OT could go away tomorrow.

Trade Jones, dont sign big UFAs, it will pay off in 3-5 years.
