The D they got are just okay. Weak at C. They were horrid defensively from the F position last season. I think they'll be ok and potentially pretty good if things click but I wouldn't predict them to be the best team. Their team metrics were very poor last year overall.
They replaced Tucker Poolman (got a ridiculous contract from Dim Jim) with Nate Schmidt.
They replaced Forbort (got an even more ridiculous deal from the Bruins) with Dillon.
Their metrics will be much better next year. If Chevy manages to keep Copper, I think we finish 2nd in the Central next year.

Chevy shoring up the back end with Dillon and Schmidt. Looks like he is going for it this year.
He has traded the 2022 2nd and 3rd and the 2023 2nd.
We won't have one of the worst D corps this season.

He also posted this, only one I've seen so far:
If Stastny is re-signing, I hope it is for one year at less than half of last year's salary.

This trade depends on whether the goalie turns out or not. The 1st will probably be a 15th-20th or so.
The excellent return on Risto buffers the return on Rhino quite a bit. You can't judge a GM by one move.
Any word on McCabe?

I think the Jets got more NHL goal scoring out of pick 18 than we will 1 and 14 combined. Have heard Lucius was the top goal scoring C in the draft
I can't see him making the team for 4 years or so but we got lucky again this year getting a faller. He's played some RW as well. Wheeler has 3 years left on his deal (Maurice will no doubt play Wheeler on the 1st line all 3 years...).
Lucius took a puck to the knee and decided to go with surgery and was laid up for 3 months and couldn't skate for 4 months. He was the 10th leading scorer on his team.
You guys got a good haul for Risto though. Kudos to the GM on taking full advantage of that trade. I can't see the Flyers doing well the next couple of years to be honest. They'll suck hind tit if their goalie doesn't play better, that's for sure. The drafts of 2022 and 2023 are supposed to be very deep. That 2nd could be a really nice piece. Any camp fire gossip about whether Risto is going to extend with them?
I know Chevy is looking for at least one D man but I wish he would have made a play on Rhino, Ehlers-Scheif-Rhino would have made a great line. I'd have given up Copper and next year's first if Rhino's intentions were staying long term.
-
You guys did so well on Risto I thought the return would be way more.
Would've loved to have seen him on the Jets.
-
I'd like them to take Appleton but they're probably going to take DeMelo from the Jets.
RHD with 3 x 3m left on his deal.

You don't have the prospect, unless you're giving us Perfetti.
Tempting and I would probably think hard about it if Rhino extended for something like 6 x 6.5m.

Risto is getting at least a 2nd unless the player is of significance.
I think he gets more. I was just giving my own personal opinion.
The Jets need to shoot higher than Risto. There are rumors of Pulock wanting to sign here after next season and if they are true, I'd make a deal so Seattle doesn't draft Dylan DeMelo and wait a year.

I'd welcome a 2nd rounder and prospect Declan Chisholm from Winnipeg.
I wouldn't give you a 2nd.
I'd easily give up a 1st and a prospect for Rhino though!

A limit of walleye from the 10th of June.

An easy one to remember is 28 is 82 (within small decimal points) so you can usually guestimate from there without even doing much math.
Also, every degree of C is 1.8F.
If you move up 10C, you are moving up 18F.

It's just too simple for yous guys ... everyting in Metric is based on 10s. Same with temperature ...
0 is freezing, so 10 is cool ... 20 is nice and ... 30 is hot.
Works the same backwards ...
0 is freezing ... -10 is bloody cold ... -20 is i'm freezing by ass off ... -30 is Winnipeg ... am I right @Thorny ... @Ducky
It is much easier but I am old enough to remember the standard system. If you want to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit all you have to do is multiply it by two, take off 10% and add 32.
30C
30 X 2 = 60
60-6=54
54 + 32 = 87
30C = 87F
It is the humidity in Manitoba that kills you.

Rhino and a 2nd or 3rd for Jersey's 1st?
1st and 4th?
Jersey REALLY needs a RWer.

I'd want Zegras, a re-signed Lindholm, 1st in 2021 and another add like a 3rd in 2022.
Some will say way too much but Zegras and the picks are all unproven and Eichel and Lindholm are the only proven players.

You picked the team with the most wins in the league. Good job I guess.
Avs won the President's cup though.
Vegas would be my 4th pick to win the cup.

Isles and Vegas

Still no team in the 2000s that have won a series after sweeping the series prior and playing a team that went 7. The team that went to 7 always wins???
Mind boggling and I seriously thought the Avs were going to do it.

Completely stunned by the Jets lack of effort through the last two games.
Sure, they’ll push and shove after whistles, but the Habs are outskating and outhustling them period after period.
And they score dirty goals to boot.
No kidding...
I didn't like our chances once DeMelo went down and Scheif got suspended but to not show up at all (outside of 3 or so players and a goalie)?
How the hell can you not get up for a game that is going to leave it 2-1 or 3-0?
2-1 there's a chance...3-0 and you are done.
KC disappears as soon as Scheif isn't in the lineup.
Helle, Lowry, Ehlers and MP showed up to play last night...and what is with the back to backs in the playoff for Christ's sake.
Won't even watch all of the 1st period tonight as I am leaving early for a day trip for walleye tomorrow.

Domi also out with shoulder surgery for 5-6 months.

They also have that other key to winning in the playoff ... a shutdown D that eats minutes like a machine. Weber is still one of the best. I know you are / were a big PK guy, but that is one of the best trades ever in the HHL.
MUST WIN!!
GO HABS!!
@Ducky, I was only joking about the frozen tundra. Stay cool and hydrated. 35+ is not pleasant atoll.
38C (100.4F) (before humidex) yesterday and almost as hot today. Going down to low 80s tomorrow. Going to plant my tomatoes this evening if I am up to it.

Reaves, Wilson or Kadri would have got 2 games for that hit.
Jets are done, time to shine up the golf clubs.

Live dangerously.
What would you give him if you were the DOPS?
I did have Montreal beating the Jets on here FYI but I had them losing game 1.
I'm a Jets fan.
I'd give him an apology about the prior infraction against.
I have a cold beer waiting for me outside and I haven't had one for about 5 weeks. Too nice outside to debate right now. Carry on later...
I'm putting some cash on Isles and Canes tonight.
Won some on the Sabres winning the lottery. Glad to see your team win it by the way... First overall is great for you guys.

I didn't mention the best in Canada?
They aren't in the Canadian division next year, they will be in the Central and I can only see the Avs finishing with more points.
