Mid 1st round pick Kreider never got more than 28G before age 30 right? First 8-years in NHL he avg 24G.I know all the biased people here hate Chris Kreider but I'll take that guy on my hockey team any day of the week he is Gallagher if Gallagher was good. What a performance by him
Good cautionary tale about signing young D to long-term extensions. Lots of those around the league. Hopefully Hughes takes notes regarding the Habs young D.Nurse with 14min of ES time... 4th of the oilers D.
9.5M$ well spent lol
I’m so curious what King Dundon’s mandate is this summer with all the pending UFAs.New age Hurricanes claim to fame is exclusively through their Twitter account run by a 12 year old. Enjoy golfing and possibly relocating.
Good question, I wonder if he’ll be ok spending to the cap max considering the huge turnover the Canes will face. They won’t be in this position to contend for the next two seasons as their depth will take a huge hit.I’m so curious what King Dundon’s mandate is this summer with all the pending UFAs.
Svechnikov would look mighty fine next to Dach…
It'll be fun to post on the main board until the totally unbiased main board mods shut it down due to Hab fan happiness.Friedman postulating about the Canes buying out KK, so I imagine when someone posts that on tweeter it will become a main thread here.
It's easy when the Oilers get no scoring chances. Oilers choking hard.
I dunno, the Nurse contract was an obvious albatross the second it was signed. It's only a cautionary tale about signing #3-4s for franchise D money.Good cautionary tale about signing young D to long-term extensions. Lots of those around the league.

Man I can not believe how bad he's been. He was so good as a rookie, just looked extremely smart positionally and had a great two way game as an 18 y/o rookie. I really felt like a decent two-way 2C was the absolute floor with him, as he seemed to have the brain and the playmaking vision but just needed to work on technical details in his skating and first touch while getting stronger and improving balance. He's just....never improved any of that.Friedman postulating about the Canes buying out KK, so I imagine when someone posts that on tweeter it will become a main thread here.
I can't think of anything more cringe than sport team social media pages that try too hard to be funny. Exhibit A: Carolina and Arizona's social media accounts.New age Hurricanes claim to fame is exclusively through their Twitter account run by a 12 year old. Enjoy golfing and possibly relocating.
Yeah not matching the offersheet was completely the right call. It's what Bergevin did with those picks that is the real problem. Should have just saved the cap space and keep the picks.Dont disagree with anything you said
The worst part for MTL is Bergy left the turd that is Dvorak for what a 1st and 2nd rounder?
I don’t want him near this team tbhKK buyout, Habs sign him to a cheap deal and Dvorak gers shipped off for peanuts.
Balance in the universe has been restored!
As MSL stated when asked about his key to success: “I just kept finding ways to improve on & off the ice and force myself to learn more details about the game within the game, while others simply didn’t and stalled”Man I can not believe how bad he's been. He was so good as a rookie, just looked extremely smart positionally and had a great two way game as an 18 y/o rookie. I really felt like a decent two-way 2C was the absolute floor with him, as he seemed to have the brain and the playmaking vision but just needed to work on technical details in his skating and first touch while getting stronger and improving balance. He's just....never improved any of that.
He's just finished his 6th full NHL season and he's still Bambiniemi, what the f*** is he doing all summer? Does he train for Ironman triathlons instead of working on core strength and balance or something? Truly baffling to me that there is virtually no improvement in his strength and balance or general puckhandling skills six years in. He peaked as a rookie and has never come close to that again.
Or will Dundon mandate he wants to cut bait, save $20M & put those $ to better use?Question about KK is.....do they think he'll be able to go back to the start of this year. Remember that PPG JK? Seemed a long time now...but what was he able to do then that he's unable to do now? And at one point, will they just decide to live and die with him as the 2ndC?
Imagine if he played with Yoel?! There is a dynamo duo that would just be unstoppable.Lehkonen looks like he drives the play in every goal he's part of. i think it has to do with Lehkonen being Lehkoken
Even if we drafted him and benched him, at least he wouldn't have run Price.funny and sad
CH passed up on Chris K, what they always needed size, dumb
