Nick Leddy was on a good team, had solid microstats and he was pretty much a replacement level defenseman last season. A player can be good at getting the puck into the offensive zone but the important part is what he does once he’s there.

yeah no i wasnt saying Karlsson was worth 11 mil dollars but I was saying he is clearly a play maker who needs finishers

But saying that he needs some help upfront when watching games is obvious

Never forget nhl.com had the Norris winner Adam Fox as a breakout candidate for next year. This is why they get paid the big bucks

I heard McDavid could have a good season this year

Mcdavid could probs play with one arm tied behind his back and still get 100 points

And Craig Button had Yanni Gourde on his team Canada roster .

Logic would suggest this yes..... But stranger things have happened. Especially if he carries Chicago again like he did this year. Plus if it takes the focus off other goings on in the Blackhawk organization....... Jones for 9.5, Kane for 13?

That just won’t happen. Jones signing was bad but no gm would pay Kane 13M…

I agree. But id say he's not the least likely. Outside of Matthews, MacKinnon (who said he'd take "less again" to contend) it's a short conversation.

Also, if you put money on which Goalie would get 10mil you would've said Vasy over Bob.
A GM paid a broken Karlsson 11.

Ummmmmm. Karlsson had 45 points in 53 games in his contract year and was like 28… What are you talking about? Washed?

Not washed. Broken. He hasn't been the same since he broke his foot.
But we're not talking about that. Im just saying that once you've removed all the obvious choices for a 13million dollar player Patrick Kane isn't the most outlandish of the outlandish choices.

Lefebvre replaced by McCarthy on Blue Jackets' staff after not getting vaccine

So Lefebvre is just as incompetent in life as he is at developing prospects. The Jackets just got saved from themselves.

These are just about the best things ever

i figured a whole bunch of ppl who love hockey as much as me should know about it haha

Idk why it didn’t work the first time

I guess the panthers got sick of hockey and moved on to football instead lul

Western Conference predictions updated ( assuming all RFA's sign since it's easier and no more UFA's ):

Pacific:
Vegas
Calgary
Edmonton ( because McDavid and Drai carrying )
Seattle
Vancouver ( defence puts them behind Seattle )
LA ( young team with regressing veterans )
San Jose ( goaltending is bad, defence big ? )
Anaheim ( young team with a goaltender that can't be god )

Central
Winnipeg ( I just prefer their depth to Colorado's )
Colorado ( who finishes their top 6 after Bura, Kadri, Mack, Rantanen, Landeskog and their top 4 after Makar, Girard, Toews drags them down )
Saint-Louis
WC1-Dallas ( assuming bounce-backs from most big names )
WC2-Chicago
Nashville
Minny ( forward depth is a big hole )
Arizona ( to everyone's surprise )

So the Flyers will have a new goal song for 2021-2022 season

Honestly go back to the 2012 version

Morgan Rielly looks to have injured himself in the Leafs scrimmage today

Good thing NHL doesnt start till Oct 12. Hes got almost a month to recover.

BuT MoRgAn RiElLy sUcKs

On a real note, yeah, it's good he's got time to recover, he's arguably your best D

For offense 100% he is the #1 guy to go to.

But for all around I say Muzzin takes the title of #1dman

Now that could change depending on how well Sandin does this season (in riellys case)

Sandin is not going to surpass Rielly, Muzzin, or even Brodie on the depth chart this year. That’s way too high of an expectation lol, give him a couple years before saying he’ll outperform established top pair guys.

The real question is did they get any fans?

Ya, my friend has a pair of those, I've never had them, but they look really good.

Sadly with Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the increase would be slight but still better than it was in the NHL.
