If we want to make the playoffs we need to replace brown rn. Every game matters in this division. Honestly it isn’t the time to play the kids. Mikey can replace eller.
We need to fine another work horse. Sheary can’t do it all by himself. Who should it be

Guy can’t a break, feel like he gets injured every year

finally, RR teasers

I wonder if Florida or Vancouver would be interested in a defenseman and would be willing to trade a forward to Calgary. Kylington or Zadorov would be available, probably looking at guys like Garland (seems to have fallen out of favour there) or like a Verhaeghe/Duclair type. As soon as Kylington is back I'd trade Zadorov for an injured Duclair tbh, and maybe even before then, I like Mackey a lot

Not only IR bur LTIR. Min 10 games

Jake Bean is always available. He's quite a bit smaller than Nikita Zadorov but plays a somewhat consistent two-way game.


(at least SportsForecaster doesn't talk at length about his consistency being an issue)

Kylington for Duclair makes a lot of sense

The islanders new system is a lot of fun to watch. All the D are encouraged to join the rush when the opportunity presents itself, a lot of 3 + 4 on 2’s the first 3 games. Forwards are allowed to leave the defensive zone early to back the opposing D up - and the isles have the goaltending to save them at times when they get caught.

Pretty unfortunate for him. However, it's good Florida has a capable defender in Weegar to help alleviate the blueline.





Wait.

Montreal is reportedly looking for a RHD

Sucks for Ekblad but I'm hoping Florida sucks cause we have their 1st

haha yes these are definitely players i have heard of before

Hopefully Tkachuk can carry them lmao

Lol, in season predictions, i said Florida's defence was decent but 1 Ekblad away from being garbage, welp, their D sucks now

So jealous you guys got Blankenburg, was such a fan of his in Michigan.





Giving hope to all sub 6 Dmen

If the cap rises 4 mil next year do you think that saves Dubas job

No if TOR doesn't perform in this year's playoffs

Raising cap means literally nothing
Players want a certain percentage of the cap.
If they want 10% lf the cap.
If the caps at 50million, he'll want 5 million
If the caps at 80 million, he'll want 8 million
It doesn't make a GMs job easier

Why would a cap increase save any GM's job lul

Its about performance and results not cap increases

Thats like saying if Ovie scores a playoff goal but Washington loses in round 1 would MacLellan job be safe

Just helps with his current contracts but you're right

It's actually bad for the owners
As they would have to pay more money to players

someone think about the billionaires

Yeah why spend on luxury jets and mansions when u can spend on your investment that you probs use for tax purposes

I’m so worried for *checks notes*
