Around the NHL 2021-22

Jamaica’s pregame warm up song…

 

We're on the Island of Misfit Toys
Here we don't want to stay
We want to travel with Santa Claus
In his magic sleigh!

A pack full of toys
Means a sack full of joys
For millions of girls
And for millions of boys
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year.

For the text averse who don't have a subscription to the Athletic:

 

That's a bit of a shock to me given the points that Hughes has put up so far.  This is entirely all potential.  I guess the same could be said about Eichel and other young stars that have signed the big 8 year deals.  This is what happens when the financial decision (because he could cost more if and when he breaks through) takes the priority over the hockey decision (it's a gamble).

Yes. It happens every year. Multiple times. And has for decades. Younger players paid highly on potential. Not surprised at this deal in that least.

55 points in 119 games doesn’t scream 8x8…but then again I haven’t seen him play that much. 

He had 19 points in his last 22 games the devils see a franchise talent at 20 its a good deal in my eyes .

Going to look like a bargain when he gets comfortable from the injury

Just looked at the boxscore for Caps vs Panthers game and realized there are 6 or so players in the Caps lineup who I have never heard of. 

Must be why they just gave up a 3 goal lead and now are losing 5-4

On a Reinhart seeing eye goal

8x8 for Hughes isn’t bad for either side; as long as Jack can stay healthy he should produce at a rate at least worth 8mil

Ya, if you are going to take a risk on a LT deal, the time is now, and not when they are nearing their 30s.

How about Kane ? he got the shot or just got send down ?  Really a trade issue for sure, more than his attitude.

What does this have to do with Evander Kane? It has been reported Bertuzzi is the only unvaccinated player in the league.
