My neighbors have just started a 2.5 month project building an extension on their house. In other news, my two year old will be entertained for the next 2.5 months.

I can’t wait until tomorrow for the next tweet: Nikita Kucherov becomes the first player since Connor McDavid to record 100 assists in a season.

And it does go a long way to supporting the piece of team building that people seem to miss all the time: player development. There are always going to be those can’t miss guys out there. For the vast majority of the rest, I do think that winding up in the right situation is probably the most important factor.

of course, but he much closer the the latter. I haven’t read the article since I’m not a subscriber. I’d imagine they outlined the definition of exactly what players they were ranking. All this prospect definition talk ignores that and just becomes a matter of semantics instead. Whatever their definition is (if the word prospect was even used), they think Buffalo has the best. Let’s not move the goal posts in order to debate that stance. edit: And wait a second. I know they weren’t originally your words, but multiple cups? No current NHL player has been alive long enough to see two cups in Boston. Theirs is not a legacy of winning the cup.

I wonder if Dell is a free agent again.

You say that, but I think Adams could find away to get under that goalie signing limbo bar.

Are you arguing with yourself right now? I’m not really sure how a quick two sentences about a 21 year old having plenty of room to grow leads to all of this. Maybe I jumped into a different conversation that I didn’t read. I don’t know.

You know how people like to use the word literally too much…

What kind of veteran goalie though? I think he fully expects a 1A/1B situation between 6K (there you go, @Hank) and Levi. Any veteran would be that #3 type spending most of the time in the AHL. I don’t want to see that, but it’s what I expect.

At least when it comes to Power, I have no problem with the word prospect being thrown around. A 21 year old is nowhere close to being a final product.

I know this conversation was held elsewhere, but I’m not really sure where you got the prospect part from. Botterill traded 3 total: Pu, Guhle, and Nylander. Murray matched that count in just the O’Reilly deal.

At least they called a couple penalties against Denver in the final.

Tuch and Hutson signed. Watch them win the lottery and add Celebrini too. They’re getting the band back together.

I had no idea that you’re only 15 years old.

I heard random talk on the radio earlier today saying that this move would need some division realignment. Why? Sat Lake City is actually closer to the rest of the division than Phoenix. It looks like Dallas is the only team increasing their travel after this.

But ranting about everything is what we do around here.

Don’t forget about the prospects. He moved those too.

Well this is going to make for an interesting train wreck sort of day. You can already see it in action.

I forget. Does he still only have an AHL contract?

My 2 year old is a righty. He’s never seen me hold a hockey stick. Today he picked one up and held it righty. He has seen me with a golf club though so that could be it.

Bouncyball is not a real sport

And yet they may wind up with a positive goal differential after that kind of drop. If whatever team they ice next year can start to score again, it could get interesting (relative to our recent expectations anyway).

Yeah, he sounded like an angry ex in what I read.

I don’t know why, but now in my mind those last two syllables are rhyming with jiminy, as in the cricket.

His little tantrum the other day was hilarious. They were all up in arms earlier in the year after the Morgan Rielly incident and then he blows up over that? He’s a child.
