Is this really the kind of trade that makes people think “he’ll yeah, go Lindy”?

Wasn’t Dakota Johnson the one that was just in that Madame Web bomb?

Give me AI Gurtler.

What does that have to do with anything? Offer sheets, not that they’re happening, use next year’s picks. You can’t give away a pick that was already used prior to the start of free agency.

Why? I’m going to need something a little more intricate than “because Buffalo”.

And what does it mean for San Jose then? It doesn't really look like any type of precursor there. So they have someone targeted and they've now moved up very early and could potentially still miss out on that guy?

And on another note, San Jose has been very busy.

I’m surprised that both teams don’t let the board shake out a bit before making this deal.

Maybe I’m out of touch with the numbers, but a top 10 pick for a 53 point scorer seems like a lot.

Why is it tied into the bouncyball championship?

There’s never a good time for that… that and she’s here in NC too.

They also got Kochetkov out of the deal.

I just dug up my BU national champions hat from 2009 and it is the most generic thing I own. It has those same exact two shades of gray as the panther hat. It's sad really. Starving kids in Ethiopia don't get the loser hats anymore. I wonder if there will ever be any clearance of the adidas jerseys. I could use an authentic blue.

Hasek?

Did you see that one guy used his 3 votes for McDavid/Hyman/Bouchard? That guy shouldn't be allowed to vote anymore.

I have to give ABC credit. They stuck with the cup celebration for an incredibly long time. They did have the occasional stupid moment where they would show an interview instead of the next guy with the cup, but that was pretty minimal.

And he scored a goal from the bench.

Yeah, on the other side of the intercoastal.

It’s just a quick hop for them over some water to get to Florida, right?

They brought out a Canadian to sing the anthems? Bad choice, Florida.

On a side note: I wish teams had the decency to not announce trades today… unless they’re trying to hide it behind the real story of the day.

So Ullmark for Kastelic, korpisalo, and a month or two of Tyler Burtuzzi? I guess there’s some value in bringing that pick back. And Ullmark is essentially back in Buffalo now. He should have taken that deal to LA last year.

His line about Messier winning six and Subban going to one once… that was hilarious

I found myself asking similar questions about a few different players in those lists.

The coach’s challenge really need to go or at least be modified. The challenge does not exist for garbage like that.
