They have their own 1st this year, but their 2nd was traded for Ristolainen. They have an extra 3rd from trading Justin Braun at the deadline last year, as well as from the Giroux trade, but they traded their own 3rd away in the DeAngelo trade. They also have an extra 4th (Brassard) and 6th (Patrick Brown) this year. They also traded their 2nd and 5th next year. Never fear, Chuck Fletcher has a plan. It's a secret plan. In fact it's so secret that not even he knows what it is. But it's gonna blow your mind like whoooooaaaaa. You're in good hands, Flyers fans. e: god loving drat it why is every post I make either the 40th or the 1st post on a page

I was busy yesterday, so I didn't get a chance to bless this thread with my thoughts. I do like what the Leafs did this deadline, even if I think they could have done slightly better. We've already discussed ROR, but I do like the additions to the blueline. However, do they need 9D? No. No team does. It is what it is at this point, though, even if I thought they should have traded Holl. I also know in a few years I will be rueing the Sandin trade. This deadline was Dubas moving all the chips in, and this is definitely the last chance for this team. Another failure means Dubas/Keefe won't be back. The Big 4 may not stay the Big 4. Someone else is going to try to slightly retool this team. In other news, is Arizona even a real NHL team? They are a bad team, but they feel different than any other bad team. They seem purposely trying to stay a bad team. Also, got to watch Bedard last night on TSN. I am not an expert at judging prospects, but I will be surprised if Bedard doesn't become one of the best players in the league in a year or two of entering the league. His shot is so deadly. He is not just quick, but he is agile. Manages to always find space. Of course, these things look even better playing against worse competition, but I think he'll adapt fairly easily. https://twitter.com/TSN_Sports/status/1631489913827872770 Really surprised no one posted this gem.

McDavid draft year: 120 points in 47 games (2014-15 in the OHL) Bedard draft year: 119 points in 46 games (2022-23 in the WHL) Just give him to the Blue Jackets. The league needs it.

The hockey popularity bump they generated at local ice rinks has died down too, some of it's almost assuredly covid related but both youth and beer league signups have declined. Not that I'm arguing for Chicago to get any handouts at all, gently caress em. But they are definitely way less popular than they once were.

Dahlin back way sooner than I expected. "Day to Day and then retroactively placed on IR" is often code for "he was actually week to week the whole time". May have jumped the gun on my doomering.

Devils notable things in line rushes today... no Sharangovich (this is after he barely played yesterday after the second period) and the formation of just an absolutely disgusting line with Meier: Tatar-Hischier-Mercer Meier-Hughes-Bratt Palat-Haula-Boqvist Wood-McLeod-Bastian It's tempting to put Meier with Nico for the Swiss chemistry and to ensure both lines have high volume shooters/finishers, but also, that first line has been SO good that I get why Lindy just put Meier with Jack. If this team had a good 3C it would be lights out. Not sure where Lazar will fit since BMW is actually coming together the past few games, but New Jersey's top six god drat. For good measure, here's their first PP unit: Hughes-Hischier-Bratt-Meier-Hamilton

Call me crazy, but Colorado should have been burning up the phones finding a second line center rather than making an AHL trade on deadline day.

Today was kids’ takeover day at KeyBank Center and the Sabres had a kid as the guest announcer calling the goals and stuff. He was clearly really excited and it was fun. Local dumbass beat writer Mike Harrington apparently thought he was too energetic which led to this incredible exchange: https://twitter.com/hinostroza12/status/1632121869653487616?s=46&t=ZmcWuigp8va-srUE4rOQ8Q What a King
