Why get Horvat? Not understanding the NYI approach here when you have a perfectly fine 2C in Nelson.

Seems like another above average player that the isles will extend for way too long for way too much money. Good luck to them!

I don't mind the Islanders being stuck in mediocrity. ;)
 
Puke at the Islander.

I’ll never count Pittsburgh out until they are actually eliminated, but they really do seem the weakest of the bunch contending for a WC spot.

Absolutely this. This Pens core won two back to back cups and the Caps with a meaningless defense. Until Crosby and Malkin is done, I'm not going to count them out.

I think the annoying thing is he played quite a lot on the second and third line during the cup run, and then under TR had to fight for fourth line minutes. He didn’t discover an ability to play with skilled guys only when he moved to Vegas, but the Caps tried to force him into a bottom six role, and mostly on the wing too.

Glad it’s worked out so well for him in Vegas.

So after the NHL destroyed the all star game, they decided to destroy the skills comp???

nothing says "skills competition" like being 90% sure you could hit surfboards faster than NHL pros

People should be getting fired for how bad the skills event was. Horrible production, cringe-worthy interviews, no mini-nets.

Also for as good of a player as Ovechkin is he’s also one of like 4 interesting personalities in the NHL universe. Glad he’s on the good guys!

I had to turn it off. ESPN is so bad at televising pretty much everything hockey related. The breakaway challenge was cringe. Watching the Tkachuk bros do a whole production in beach attire was next level cringe. Hopefully TNT has it next year and we can see the difference if there is any.

Just watch the skills comp on demand it was pretty crappy. McDavid doesn’t miss a single shot, and somehow loses with his new rules in the finals.. so lame
 
I ffwded through the dvr of the ASG skills comp and just decided to delete it after I saw the surfboards and some inexplicable pseudo-golf thing.

Wow that seems like too much money and too much term for Horvat.

He's obviously having a breakout season and could finish with 45 goals but awfully risky to think he's going to be worth 8.5 mill for the next 8 years.

Anyway it's the Isles so hopefully it blows up in their faces!
