Bettman probably loves that an expansion team wins a Cup within 6 years of joining. This gets more billionaires lined up at the trough.

Avenge the Hudson Fasching kick in goal.

Power actually skated away.

Their GM got fired.

How’s that Yzerplan working for you Kane?

I’ve watched Parekh live and I didn’t like his overall vibe. I found him to be cocky and always wanting the puck. I feel he is like Brandt Clarke, all offense with some background issues.

Good point. He needs to turn some Adams guys into real players, very soon. BTW, none of the prospects seem ready to have an actual impact yet, so trades seem like the best option.

Exactly. I’m not looking to completely revamp the lineup. Get a 3-4 C. A backup goalie. A gritty winger or two. He can do it his way but it is his a** on the line if they fail again.

Something I was unaware of, teams can still trade players, but those players are ineligible for the playoffs. Habs and Devils made a trade today of minor leaguers. KA could get the jump on the off season and get a 3-4C from another non playoff team.

At this point it’s all we’ve got. Most of us are realistic about the impossible odds but while other teams are s******g the bed there is a chance. I am watching regardless so it feels better when the game is “meaningful”.

When I hear KA thinking of getting a veteran 4C I envision a Riley Sheahan type of move. He needs to get a 3C who Krebs competes with for the role.

I concur, and will save a lot of typing.

I’m in for signing Stephenson but he doesn’t even have a letter in Vegas.

He got a little close to John Scott.

I could see that possibly happening but it would be the weirdest D corps in the league with two LHD pairings and a RHD pairing. That’s kind of how they slot right now talent wise. Power and Mule could be a solid shutdown pair if they could find some chemistry.

Probably no discount on UPL but Ullmark was a UFA. UPL doesn’t’t get the standard 7x7M but a 3 or 4 year deal seems reasonable. If Joker is moved he may get a little miffed though.

I hate to admit it because he was my whipping boy, but he has been good. He can stay as a 7.

At the very least he could mentor the young guys with tips on fitness and nutrition.

Don’t do it.

That was entertaining.

Let’s see what Byram can do with open ice.

Good shift by Benson.

They have often made opposing goalies look like Hasek but they can’t hit the net today.

Need to hit the net.

Generational.
