Confirmed Trade: [VGK/CGY/PHI] Noah Hanifin (75% retained), Mikhail Vorobyov to VGK; 2026 1st , 2025 cond. 3rd, Daniil Miromanov to CGY; 2024 5th to PHI

I can't believe the NHL is still allowing teams to blatantly circumvent the cap come playoff time. I know its a CBA thing, but holy heck does it seem like a recurring theme for the cup winner to be exceeding the cap with returning players from IR to make a deep run.

PA is gonna take a hard stand on this in 2026, I think owners are gonna be forced to cave in some capacity

Ok then continue to be the laughing stock of major NA sport leagues. Thats fine too and honestly Bettman seems to have no issue with that.
This is hyperbole.
We'll see how this one plays out and how much truth there was to Friedman saying GMs would be asking the league about this if Stone is ready when the playoffs start.
That's completely different from the entire discussion we've been having, and has nothing to do with well how does anyone know Stone is really hurt? but ... OK.
 
That’s disappointing to say the least. Should have never gotten my hopes up. Only silver lining is helping the Knights beat the Oilers

The other ones were fine but this return is not good enough. f*** Noah Hanifin and f*** that scumbag Pat Brisson for leaking the places he was willing to extend.

It's not. Viewership and revenue are light years behind the other leagues.

Of course it is. There's nothing really more to debate? Do you want to go around and around in circles with me telling you how easy it is to manipulate return to play dates when a player is perfectly healthy and safe and ready to return?
 
That’s a terrible return. lol WTF is Conroy doing? Double retention and you can only pull out a first and a 26 year old D-man? Jeezzzz
 
Conroy did say he wanted a top elite prospect as the main piece going back....so Miromanov is that guy lol.
 
Calgary did good considering how badly Hanifin handcuffed Conroy
How badly did he handcuff him? Am I mistaken in that he had a 8 team no trade list? Saying he won't re-sign wouldn't really hurt his value too much if multiple playoff teams were already looking at him, imo.
