Hahahaha... Now that's funny. But then again, we were that close to a ball giving the Leafs the first pick...
This is amazing.
Fuck torts.
Rangers rebuild is gonna win them back to back cups

Folks in Smashville are beating the drum about buying out Turris. I wonder how many of them realize that Turris buyout plus Weber retiring after the next couple of seasons equals $8-10M in dead cap for multiple years.
What a fantastic mess.

Wild are apparently looking at buyouts for Devyn Dubnyk and Victor Rask, potentially looking at Greg Pateryn too.
It would add up to like 5-6m for a year or two. Not ideal.
Then add in Zuccarello, who is nearing Backes/Okposo/Ladd territory, this team is in rough shape.
FAs are going to be disappointed. No cap increase means little money for signings.
There are too many teams with little cap space who can only make deals if it's even up. Any team that does have cap space can get a decent talent for nothing if they're willing to eat his salary. No return required.

The general vibe around Poile's media availability today is that he's jettisoning all of the Preds' UFAs and raiding the Milwaukee Admirals for talent. Also seems hopeful on Tomasino making the roster, though my expectations are tempered after Tolvanen was overhyped a couple of years ago and ultimately required AHL time.
So uh what's the deal with Tolvanen now anyway
He was arguably the #1 prospect outside the NHL at one point

He came in way too timid for North American ice and is ridiculously streaky.
He might still put everything together, but it wouldn't surprise me if he turns into another Pontus Aberg type of player that is back in Europe after a few years.

I think seattle is going to be a lot of fun for the fan base once the team gets set, they're always thirsty for more sports out there
He would've been in Russia sooner were it not for his only two noteworthy NHL plays, both during the 2017 run. (The Game 5 GWG against the Ducks and clowning on Maatta during the SCF.)
Same with Frederick Gaudreau, who is an AHL scrub that happened to get hot during the Finals. I literally forgot he was still in the Preds' system until I checked Capfriendly a week or two ago.

After another disappointing performance from the Flames, I'm ready to join you guys. Hope that Treliving actually makes significant changes to the core and finally hires a quality coach.

Yes I got the Carey Price one and hello again
Future is so bright for Montreal. And I think we found our 1C in Suzuki. He played like a madman and didn't wanna go home. I think I see him like a Patrice Bergeron type of Center maybe with a bigger upside
OP

And oh yeah, hey yo! Anyway I haven't opened them yet, supposedly there's a contest with these.
Bigger upside than the player who's won the most Selke trophies in NHL history. That guy?
And I actually think Suzuki is great and could be a genuine 1C some day (more likely a really good 2C).
Also worth mentioning that he's 21 years old, not 18, and forwards reach their prime much more quickly these days. There's room for him to grow, especially defensively, and he'll put up more points with better linemates.... but what you're seeing right now might be closer to what he is? I dunno. Getting quality wingers could better showcase what he's capable of.
