https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/4124069 Using the idea from the trade thread I made a team with a solid balance of vets and youngsters Martinez to me would great idea for a 5LHD as he led Vegas in shot blocks, has 2 Cup Rings including 2 Playoff Series GWGs and while older (35/36) still has solid skating. IF Girgensons leaves Olofsson for Foegele on Edmonton with Edmonton letting us move back into the 2nd round again seems both fair and gives us a seasoned player for the Bot 6. If Girgensons stays I'd look more for a pick trade for Olofsson I did 13, Jokiharju and UPL for Hellebuyck and DeMelo; Hellebuyck gets an extension of 2 years and that would give Levi 3 years to work his way from 1B to 1A and keeps him from having the entire season's hopes and dreams riding on him. DeMelo is a means to an ends to but a more defensive skewed seasoned player with Power. For my extras I have Rousek and N. Foligno (young gun and a former captain) with Stillman as our 7th which gives us a solid 7.

Add DeMelo to the trade and I'd be interested as long as Reinbacher doesn't fall to 13. 13, UPL, and Jokiharju for 1 year deals on Hellebuyck and DeMelo seems fair.

Carolina in Buffalo’s situation would be a ghost town. Though honestly their fan base has certainly grown over the years. Most of us Sabres fans however only see Sabres games with the Canes in which Buffalo transplants take over a good portion of the crowd. Their fans are the primary reason for most. Media bias also furthers the issues. I always look at the Leafs as having fans that think they are the Patriots but their team is usually the Lions and yet they still get mass coverage by the hockey media and their fans continue their obnoxious behavior

To be honest it is a ***** Top 3 Karlsson sure Makar played 60 games and had 66 pts but again only played 60 games Fox is even more egregious since he averaged .06 ppg less than Dahlin whom had 1 more point than Fox in 4 less games.

Tuch is practically on an AHL team for the tournie

I’ve always seen it as grit - a player’s toughness and ability to take hits and keep going sandpaper - a player’s proclivity to stir things up on the ice via physical play and/or stickwork (they grind opponents down) physicality - usually refers to a player’s willingness to engage in checking other players

What in the world is Jarry lol. He’s no where near worth nearly 6x7mil

Not paying Power 6 years, either 8 or bridge Based on Thompson and Cozens I could see Dahlin signing for 9.9mil for 8 years

Don't say that; never give the world any reason to bring that to fruition

I want Ruff to win it finally, I’m not going to fault the modern Devils for Lou’s impact on that team’s identity for 30 years.

Every team I wanted to lose, won. Burn in hell Leafs

I also hate their arena name, just sounds dumb

I don't see that here to be honest I see a daughter grieving the loss of her mother as she knew her and a mother wanting to fight get back to her previous self which may or may not be impossible. It's akin to my uncle who had a stroke back in January; he's rehabbing to reach his previous self but may never truly return to the same exact person he was prior. I'd guess its much like that for Kim and her family.

One of the better coach blow ups I’ve seen; he was seriously angry with his team. I’m

I’d be happy with 1-8 conference like they had before. Give Division leaders 1,2 and the rest are a free for all in the East or West respectively. Rivalries will still occur plenty often but playoff seeding won’t be decided by November.

I'll always celebrate any victory no matter how small 🙂

Not been a fun day Toronto wins Vegas wins Tampa needs to figure it out and kill the Leafs before their fans no longer have that great Achilles heel of having not won a series in a longer time than Buffalo. Vegas I expected to likely win but it ticks me off seeing Eichel all happy when he tried to #### us.

Interestingly enough the two teams in the other group are both 8-0 going into the conference final

We haven’t moved up once. We won 2 lotteries when we had pick 1 and kept pick 1.

If Okposo retires or even just wishes to play his minimum to hit 1000 games then retire I wouldn't hate Toews for a single year.

Toronto averaged 21.65 hits per game Tampa averaged 24.71 hits per game Who's to say our players would also not suddenly increase their hit output like everyone else has?

Maybe not physically enough for your 80/90's era desires but their hearts would be certainly in the right place.

I agree with the general idea but not the phrasing. Adams doesn't want to ensure a playoff berth when so many factors could throw a wrench into the plan.

Imagine getting Bertuzzi and Clifton, wouldn’t be a bad jolt to our physical play

Ironic how Power looks more like a traditional Swedish defenseman in style and Dahlin looks more like a Canadian in style
