Edmonton should be better next season for sure.. But who knows, maybe they'll actually miss Halls scoring, that'll be hard for Puljujarvi and Lucic to replace. I really dont see Larsson doing anything spectacular. i could be wrong tho.
- Tanooki

Didn't McDavid miss half the season last season?

Not just adding Puljarvi... it's him, more McDavid, Larson and Lucic in, and Hall out.

All in all they should be a better team next year... even if the Hall trade and Lucic signing were stupidly short sighted.

PK's post game Caresi was too low.

Broke his collarbone last season.

Broke his hand the year before.

I'm just going to come out and say it:

McDavid is the new Lupul.

not the same, bishop is signed this year for 5.95, Andersen was UFA.
- Lucas.Neilson

If he was, why were they so stupid to give up 2 decent draft picks?

So the departure didnt have to have been a negative one like you were trying to read into it.

You think I just made it up myself?


http://www.sportsnet.ca/h...answers-p-k-subban-trade/

A source told Sportsnet that Matt Pfeffer, who was hired as an analytics consultant at the beginning of the 2015-16 season, made an impassioned and elaborate presentation to management to dissuade them from following through on this trade.

Ignoring Pfeffer’s advice only served to reinforce the notion that Bergevin was following different criteria in his evaluation of both players, said the source, who also suggested Pfeffer’s vehemence on the matter might have ultimately cost him the job (he was told on Wednesday that his contract won’t be renewed). The Canadiens would not comment on why they aren’t renewing his contract, but they did say that they are looking into other analytics solutions.

But not those analytics which contradict what they want to do, only the ones that support the, and that which they can sell to the fans

That one line pretty much tells the story. Clearly his relative HAL/60 is too high.

I thought it was one of those 3D pictures that you look into and see other shapes.

I was so surprised how much he was tossing that nonsense around, and the way EE was blushing when asked about it
