[Hannibal]

Ottawa is going backward in their rebuild it seems.

Can't believe a junior GM being aided by one of the dumbest color commentators I've ever had to listen to is doing a terrible job.

Who would have known lol

They basically shot themselves in the foot by trading prime assets for bags of pucks (see the DeBrincat and Chychrun trades). Factor in some poor drafting (Tyler Boucher) and a ticking bomb in the form of a lost 1st rounder, they are now stuck in the no man's land. I won't be surprised if Tkachuk forces his way out soon.​

*Surprised Pikachu!*

But toward the end of last season (from deadline to near the end), they seemed to want to go back into a rebuild because the locker room was just a shit-show and there was talk of trading Brady T.

 

[morhilane]

Anyone has any idea why Detroit is trying to horde all the goalies?

They have 7 now...

NHL contracts:
- Hossa
- Talbot
- Campbell
- Lyon

On ELC:
- Cossa
- Gylander
- Gage Alexander is the newest acquisition

My fingers are crossed that they will recruit Mudryk to the Sens as well.

His voice is fine but man he's bad.

 

[Team_Spirit]

They really had to put the Habs logo in there huh. Crosby is staying in Pitts or going to a top 5 team.

Let's check in on Bruins fans

He really sucked in Chicago, though. Lol

They should just let McDavid decide who he wants for GM at this point. It would probably be a better result then whomever the ownership is thinking of taking.

Who's the colour commentator?

Who's the colour commentator?

Dave Poulin

Gary Galley would make a great D Coach...

Please

His voice is fine but man he's bad.

It's just how he strays off course and tells some useless story that no one wants to hear. The constant ribbing of Poulin from a guy who had no business doing so. When he talks I daydream that I'm holding him by the collar and slapping him till I get sick of it.

 

[Shred]

Yzerman can't help but overpay for middling UFAs. It's like a sickness with him.

Isn’t the direction of the team dictated by ownership? Looks like they just got bored of rebuilding before it was done, just like Ottawa did. Imagine rebuilding and settling for a mid team. Reminds me of the Habs (pre-Hugo era)…

Doesn’t look like Andlauer has learned anything from his 15 years in Montreal. Mediocre management, mediocre teams. Or maybe he did learn that he made a lot of money with that strategy and doesn’t care about winning.

Their current line-up has 4 draftee and 3 traded players, everyone else was signed as a UFA. It suggest they failed at drafting or couldn't retain their draftees or traded them (see Bertuzzi/Hronek). Management is probably tired of being at the bottom (it's been 8 years).

It's a vet patch-work line-up meant to squeeze into the playoffs. I don't expect "growth" from them.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Nashville & Seattle will stop him with their free agents acquisitions

This is why I'm so impressed by the HuGo pair... i love how cool headed Hugues is, how much he understand the path to a proper rebuild and sticks to it.

We could've had Bergevin v2, instead we got the real deal, afaik one of the best GM of the league. We got lucky guys...

I wouldn't say no to Sid for the next 2 years. Teach Suzuki how to win.

Jordan Harris and a 2nd rnd pick should do it.

Let's not be stingy, they would probably want Gallagher to replace his leadership too
