Canucks trading a first rounder for a guy a her from UFA certainly is a thing.

Oilers were apparently close yesterday on Chychrun before the Yotes asked for more so I'm curious what the ask was from them cause that seems pretty good

No, there were rumors teams were interested (Edmonton and Ottawa specifically), but he's still here until 2030.

I don't think the Oilers rumours were real. I think that's more a media thing from some of the old lugheads that write for the journal.

it’s not that other teams wouldn’t match that price, it’s that Arizona held out on an insane price too long, everyone spent their picks, and then the Yotes reduced the price after a bunch of teams dropped out because they had to move Chychrun after holding him out for so long and had no leverage. The coyotes played themselves.

Imagine you're the Kings and you didn't trade much less for friggin Gavrikov and Korpisalo lmao

McDavid has 3 pts in the first period tonight. He's at 52-66-118 in his 62nd game, this redonkulous

He's 28 points up on Leon for points as well. Once he gets to 33 up its the biggest spread since the nonsense Gretzky seasons. It's insane

McDavid taking 12.5 has really limited what players get for UFA contracts. Pastrnak should have got closer to 15.

I can’t see why, the punishment is them not getting to make the recall and having to play with a short roster. It’s not the first time this has happened, iirc Calgary had to play short for a bit due to post-trade cap problems years back.

Oilers played a couple games short this season rather than waiving yamamoto/foegele/jesse

yeah he's got no hands and he just runs around hitting poo poo so i dont quite understand the 55 xgoals part but i guess it's working

the only thing he does visibly well that my eyes can attest to is draw penalties

Ok that sounds like the same guy in Edmonton minus the xgoals

Would the Flyers be the worst place Bedard could go? At least Arizona has a ton of picks and cap space.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm

Whoever gets Bedard should fire their GM and hire Peter Chiarelli. Lucic is even a free agent this summer!

Bedard going to the Flyers if they miraculously won the lottery would be a worse version of McDavid ending up on the Oilers. Just a complete and utter waste of talent and they might even break him somehow before he'd have the chance to walk after ending up a free agent through some hilarious sequence of events.

Fortunately, that'll never happen as they'll go on a 5-6 game winning streak the last week as the teams that are officially out stop giving a poo poo and end up with roughly the 12th pick.

McDavid was set up ok on the Oilers. They had Hall/Leon/Nuge/Eberle plus Klefbom and Nurse plus cap space. It should have been a good situation. The problem was hiring Chiarelli who blew his wad on Griffin Reinhart, Milan Lucic and grinders.

Why should anyone care what non NHL fans think? The game can either grow or not but it won't really have any effect on the league outside putting money in the owners' pockets.

NHL fans are always so worried about perception or what non NHL fans think and really who gives a poo poo.
