There is no future until they ice a winning team, finally you have it backwards The idea that a single playoff berth, when we haven’t had one in a decade and a half, is meaningless is truly absurd logic Like, absurd of the highest order. devoid of logic? What words are strong enough, here? HOW THOROUGHLY do we need to prove how special making the playoffs is? We never f*cking make it lol. “One meaningless berth”. One meaningless lottery win. ay caramba

Chad D: expect a Byram trade at or around the draft

McLeod made them better than they would have been with Savoie -

It’s because trades aren’t a zero sum game. Trades are also a means to an end, not a valuable metric in and of themselves. if winning trades is a thing, yes the blues won the trade because the trade facilitated their goal. Two teams can win a trade, 2 teams can lose. A good example of a trade both teams lost is Byram Mittelstadt To your point, the sabres have already lost the ROR deal: that’s another thing people don’t tabulate properly - time isn’t a negligible competent in trades lol. Our goal when trading ROR wasn’t to get a guy who was better in 5 years. The trade torpedoed an entire regime and set the team back years If you can analyze that swap as a “win”, it’s a pyrrhic victory at best but in reality with an awareness for context, it can only be construed as a colossal error -

I also haven’t read a strong argument that he’s won any trades, ftr -

Dealing who? -
Great likeness, both mouthguard and head size
-
This feels more like an oilers win but I could be wrong
-
Forsling made a pretty big save
-
Why would tonight be any different? You are so right:
-
It’s ok we have the next Hasek maybe better
-
Ya I’ll go ahead and say I called this too the nhl is so damn predictable in 2025 lol
-
Most obvious comeback ever I’m sorry lol Then review it. It shouldn’t have more value than every other call. But the nhl is a broken league so I’m not sure there’s a starting point
-
But if the puck goes over the glass..
-
My thoughts at this point are honestly to get McDonkey his cup and be done with this never ending nightmare season already lol. The days start getting shorter in 9 days for jeepers sakes
-
It’s the nhl in 2025

This is rather anecdotal but leads don’t really mean very much in today’s game relative to days gone by. I remember a decade or so ago a 3 goal lead was lights out in the playoffs 99/100 times, nowadays it’s just a field goal way more often than one would think
-
Likely a looming dynasty already if not for Vegas in the final. Maybe 3 straight

I wasn’t disagreeing But really the more terrifying and accurate explanation is that “winning trades” isn’t very predictive
