Meaningful NHL hockey starts tonight! Everyone is undefeated, and optimism is high.

Sharks can still go 82-0 !

Finally.

Good luck all.

Unless u root for other teams besides mine.

Gregor Signed with Toronto 1x775k

Easton Cowan is going back to Junior today

ANA claims Johnston

HAHAHA

So the theory anyone can get claimed no matter the contract is proven right again lul

They claimed nobody yesterday, but took Johnston today. Wild

Ross Johnston can’t do anything other than fight. He’s a poor man’s Ryan Reaves

I knew it, there's no way Cowan was staying on the roster, I don't think Minten stays either (or at least stays for more than 9 games)

What could this end up being??

There is word this afternoon that Vancouver has granted Conor Garland permission to talk to other teams about a potential trade. Tight cap situation, see if there's a better fit around the NHL. - Elliott Friedman

7 Teams can afford his full cap

Tampa Bay (Won't be able to once Vasi comes back)
Montreal
Arizona
Nashville
Anaheim
Buffalo
Chicago

I'd love to see Chicago get him for 0 value and play him with Hall and Bedard

Nashville could be a great fit. They have 1 RHD too many (Fabbro or Carrier); which is tops on the Canucks needs, and room in their forward core for Garland

I would say Toronto to if negotiations go south with Willy

So you know like A package around Garland for Willy like we saw with Horvat as for what the other stuff would be idk lul

Its mainly just a who knows it could happen

Nashville is playing for Celebrini

It’s day 1, relax, new HC, lots of roster changes

They're so bad. they'll somehow in this game though

I didn't turn the game on until the start of the 3rd, then got like 78 goals in nine minutes. And one that was waved off. Fun.

More could with some sort of cap coming back.

But yeah, he'd be a perfect linemate for Bedard. OMG that would be so annoying.

Guys, Phil Kessel hasn't signed anywhere. Its sad...

Other thread had a couple more replies, but this one has been up longer. Please use this thread as part 1 for the 2023-24 discussion thread.

Sorry PITT, better luck next year...

Takeaways from yesterday:

Even without Vasi, the lightning are still perfectly fine
I told y’all Andrew Brunette is a fraud
Vegas is still a juggernaut
Even with the off-season additions, the penguins are still owned by the Blackhawks

Gonna say Garland is gonna end up either in Carolina or Columbus

There's a deal that can be done both sides.
