Lol

not sure i see it like that. I think every coach occasionally over-utilizes his players at some point. But you also need to remember, they also needed to roll out the likes of Colin Robinson, the corpse of Kyle Okposo, Void Olofsson, Waiver Jost and the Locomotive.

Thanks Kevyn.

Called up 2 skilled forwards. Played them on the 4th line. One was on a heater in Roch and played 8 minutes.

There's a 50/50 chance based on his history that PLD could be on 2 more teams before his current deal is over, and that would be after the Sabres trade for him.

Pretty huge deal there, eh?

Sure. Or it works out.

PLD is not going to happen in any case but if Kevo hands out a big contract to UPL, Byram, or whoever else, then they're going to need to start figuring out ways to add talent to this team long term without adding massive salary. That's going to require some risk taking. I get that PLD isn't a perfect idea but that's at least the kind of thinking that they're going to need to start exploring

I see Rempe still playing... Pat Maroon.... his ilk lives.

My sauce told me PLD respects voicemails....Cozens only responds to text with the blue bubbles...massive difference there, this story could have legs.

Joel Eriksson Ek costs just over $5mill, could be available.

Eliaas Lindholm could hit FA.

Max Domi would be a solid 3C. Loved his game in Toronto this year.

Wow enlightening

He absolutely won't be available.

He's one of the best values in the NHL

Just trade #11 for Kadri and Mangiapane and be done with it

I see Rempe still playing... Pat Maroon.... his ilk lives.
- DirtyDan

Maroon has twice the amount of career goals as Reaves in less games. Plays alot more than both of them and doesn't routinely get scratched in the biggest games of the year

Rempe is in the lineup because of injury

Just trade #11 for Kadri and Mangiapane and be done with it
- Jet Jaguar BD

But in 5 years that 11th pick could be a Kadri, resigning Girgs is the same as adding Mangipone - they are both the same thread count.

Huge if true

The article explained why Chicago wouldn't need Buffalo to retain any salary.
- kingcong39

And that's fair. I think that might be a good hockey trade for both teams. Frees us up from that contract but doesn't cost them much to acquire some scoring.

Is 4:03TOI really playing though?

You giving up Power + for him, and is that your definition of available?

When or if wheeler returns it will be 0:00

Can’t wait to draft the next Grigorenko at #11

- ieetbred

That's always been my argument too, he's their 14th forward. Might actually end up back down in the minors if everyone was healthy.

I can't wait to draft the next Anze Kopitar there.

We must be optimistic Jaggy, it's the only way to stay sane.

Looking through the 2024 draft rankings. Best names so far:

Max Vilen
Viktor Olofsson
Niklas Blessing
Diego Buttazzoni
Simon Lovsin
Mason Peapenburg
Jack Good

You will get Marek Zagrapan and you know it

Thats a terrible 3rd line.

Kulich who doesnt know where his own end is, PLD who couldnt care where it is and Greenway who only knows how to play in his own end.
- DirtyDan

Agreed. That third line is like the blind leading the blind.

Greenway either needs to be on the 4th line or he needs to be sent packing to Flin Flon. Greenway on your third line is code for "missing the playoffs yet again".

Benson, who had 30 points and was a -3 was said to have had an excellent year. Greenway had 28 points, was a +11 and everyone is hating. I don't get it
