Out of Town Thread - New Year’s 2025 Edition

[Boss Man Hughes]

Utah Hackey Team are terrible. Time for a new coach?

 

[Coffee]

I knew it was over when Lekkerimaki had a chance to win it. He is the best player on the Canucks. Love to see Meioer lose.

Hughes is still better but Lekkerimaki probbaly closes the gap soon

 

[red devil]

 

[The Last Red]

They have had some extreme hot and cold streaks. You just never know when they can turn it around.

How did the habs look at the 4 nations break?

The Habs were clearly fried back then. The Rangers look disinterested.

 

[JianYang]

The Habs were clearly fried back then. The Rangers look disinterested.

It wouldn't be the first time they look disengaged this year, and it wouldn't be the first time they rebounded either.

 

[Fuonki]

Brutal deal for Washington and a great example of how even NHL front offices can't read basic stats. 13,5% on-ice shooting percentage coupled with a 91% on-ice save percentage will make anyone look good even if all other metrics point the opposite.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Hutson is gonna get 12 million

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Damn, that's a lot for Chychrun. He's good, but not $9m good. That's f***ing insane. I would put him at $7m tops.

 

[Leto]

Hutson is gonna get 12 million

Back up the Brinks trucks before he asks for 15m.

 

[ahmedou]

Jaromir Jagr > Toronto Maple Leafs roster

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Hughes will definitely have to work some of his former agent magic again to sign Hutson to anything close to a team friendly deal.

 

[sampollock]

figs losing to Nash funny
nostirls was called out for his lack of Selke play

 

[donghabs98]

Who's his agent, he certainly earned his cut.

 

[The Last Red]

Hutson is gonna get 12 million

No chance of that. It’ll be closer to Suzuki type money than you might think.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Hutson is gonna get 12 million

Hutson is an RFA. Chychrun UFA. They're not comparable.

 

[Whitesnake]

Hey Jack Hughes is available...

 

[WeThreeKings]

Hey Jack Hughes is available...

Never liked him as a prospect. Would be funny to get him for free.

 

[Whitesnake]

Same here. Was relieved we didn't pick him.

 

[Scintillating10]

Hey Jack Hughes is available...

He wouldn't been picked if not for who his father was

 

[ExReHabs]

Brutal deal for Washington and a great example of how even NHL front offices can't read basic stats. 13,5% on-ice shooting percentage coupled with a 91% on-ice save percentage will make anyone look good even if all other metrics point the opposite.

Which other metrics point the opposite way?

Hi sh% is 11.5% which is considerably higher than his career average 7.4%, yup.

 

[Andrei79]

That seems like an insane overpayment. Just last year he was just awful with Ottawa.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Nurse and Jones got more 4 years ago when it wasn't even clear how long that covid thing would go.

 

[the valiant effort]

Hilarious



(I do not agree he is #1)

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He wouldn't been picked if not for who his father was

It had nothing to do with his father. he was rated around where he was picked

 

[Andrei79]

Buffalo has just completely given up.
