My bad, I thought your "it shouldn't matter" was referring to the Ukraine/Russia point in the post you quoted and everything following your "but" was a different thought.

And, yeah, the voters are human and the voting doesn't take place at the conclusion of the regular season for some reason (I believe) so I could definitely see playoff success tipping the scales one way or the other.

I don't though.

Half retained he's worth a 2nd to me. Especially after most of the UFAs have signed.

Can’t believe after all these years Josh Manson is still just 24 years old

Go flush your head. I'm on record saying Allen at 50% might return a 2nd.

Hart has nothing to do with playoffs

Man I can already see the tweet now from DOPS tomorrow

Winnipeg's Ville Heinola has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for cross checking Toronto’s Michael Bunting "IN THE HEAD"

I added that last part

But hey maybe Matthews did set the bar lets see shall we.

Everyone debating Matthews and Draisaitl in the Hart convo while I’m sitting here wondering how Mason Geertsen hasn’t already run away with the award

I'm aware, Philly was all but mathematically eliminated in January.

Please direct your attention to my next post and recognize that Mark Spector runs the PHWA. Narratives are king, not logic.

Keep talking

Ask yourself: do you want to play this game?

I just trade Mackinnon in NHL 22 for Jack Hughes + Alexander Holtz + Damon Severson and 2 1sts round picks lmao. @devil

All 3 Hughes bros always go nuts in franchise mode

Geertsen with 67 PIMS in 23 games
And 9 SOG

What’s Hughes rating in NHL 22 rn?

90. I’m in 2023 right now

He usually grows to 93 for me and Quinn 92. Brock Boeser also does very well in sims for me

Idk why but guys like Jarvis , Jack Quinn etc never cross 80

What about his base rating

Yeah usually newer prospects don’t grow well. 2021 draft class is absolutely garbage in sims. Guys like Othmann, Olauasson, Sillinger never crack the NHL

If they aren’t at least medium elite, they usually end up busting

Yeah so true. Medium guys never make it

First you say, the most Habs get for Allen in the offseason is a 4th.
Then you say the you'd MAYBE do him for a 2nd.

Which one do you have lol?

Just wondering, with how joel edmundson has progressed over his time in MTL, habs can get a really good offer for him.
To trade him, I think the minimum is 1st + 2nd, but I, personally would want 1st + 1st round caliber prospect .

Do you think anyone will try to sign Dryden McKay?

For f*ck's sake.

Ducks with one of the luckiest bounces this season.
