Salivating that the Coyotes' might get one of the top-5 forwards available in the draft to go with the rest of the extremely strong set of scoring prospects already there. Man, imagine the Coyotes being able to score 3.7 goals per game.

Imagine how many draft picks they'll get for him at the end of his ELC

I still remember how upset Dallas fans were when Hitchcock got fired
or how upset Philly fans were when Hitchcock got fired
or how upset Columbus fans were when Hitchcock got fired
or how upset St Louis fans were when Hitchcock got fired

Just a totally normal thing.

Devils just surpassed their point total from last year, I wonder what the earliest that happened was. I saw 17-18 Avs did it on Jan. 13.

1994 sharks did it on Dec 3.

Granted they only had 24 points to beat.

If Skinner is too sick to go to the all-star game, the Oilers should send Matt Berlin in his place.

He has a 0.00 career GAA and 1.000 career SV%. You can't argue with stats.

The Oilers have 5 players that could have potentially hit 100 points this year and they couldn't even beat Philadelphia.

It's going to take all 7 SCF games for them to win the cup this year. Hopefully a lower seed comes out of the east so it happens at home.

When I say I want the Leafs to trade for a player that's actually good I just want it to be crystal clear that I consider Kane to be in the Formerly Good category and would appreciate the universe recognizing the distinction so I don't eat my words in an example of dramatic irony

It is my absolute delight to inform you that the Oilers still lost in regulation

That's only their 4th regulation loss in 2023.

all they need to do is score a few more goals per game to overcome the goaltending, and win every game 8-7.

They should trade for a few more forwards, and just play every game powerplay style.

Avs traded something called a Shane Bowers to Boston for Keith Kinkaid


Okay

In his 4 years with an NHL contract, Bowers has 1:46 in ice time.

That's M:SS

in his 12 years with an NHL contract, Kinkaid's longest contract is 2 years.

He has a 968 sv% and 1 GAA for Boston this year*

Remember when you would play franchise mode in the NHL games and would dump all your future picks to go for it because you knew you weren't playing more than 2 or 3 seasons?

The current boston bruins have the highest point percentage(0.819) since 99-00, the year points for being tied at the end of regulation came into place. The only team in the top 10 to convert that to a cup was the 2013 Blackhawks.



The Edmonton Oilers are currently 3rd in that same period for GF/GP(3.83), behind the 18-19 lightning and 21-22 Panthers. There are only 6 teams in the modern era that averaged over 5 goals per game, 5 of them are the Oilers from 81 through 86

The Anaheim Ducks are currently 1st, and the Vancouver Canucks 2nd in that same period for GA/GP. To find a worse GA/GP you'd have to go back to the 95-96 Sharks. The current Ducks are the only team in the 21st century to average more than 4 goals allowed per game. This comes from allowing the most shots against per game of all time at 39.8. They're frankly lucky to have 19 wins. Teams don't tank though, Bettman said it himself.

The Edmonton Oilers are currently 1st of the modern era for PP% at 32.1%. Second is the 77-78 Canadiens at 31.9%. The Colorado Avalanche are the 5th lowest of the modern era at 23.1%

The Vancouver Canucks are currently last of all time for PK% at 66.3%

Karlsson is the only acceptable option for Edmonton, and it's ridiculous that it won't ever happen.

The Oilers need retained salary on him and there's no way anybody's going to help with that with 4 more years on his contract.

It's also entirely possible he won't waive his NMC for Edmonton.
