Like 3 a year, and the 300 times someone tries that poo poo and just immediately loses the puck don't go viral on twitter

Don't get me wrong, like everyone else I don't give a poo poo about the Coyotes so I hope he tries to do a Lemieux impression every time he gets the puck on his stick. Would drive me batty if he was playing for a team I cared about though.

You can just enjoy the cool goal

Nuge could get there too. He's signed for 6 more years.

Also lol at thinking Leon or Connor are going anywhere. There's virtually no chance at that. They're not the Flames or Canucks!!!

Leon isn't getting 16 a year. He'll get somewhere between 13-14 to be higher than Matthews and the highest paid in the league for a year. Connor will get 15. They can do both.

I also learned through this article that Brandon Sutter is an Oiler apparently and I suppose I have some bad news about your upcoming season, Connor

Sutter is on a PTO. Probably like 50/50 he signs but they don't really have a 4th line centre so

Edit: The Oilers also don't necessarily need a 4th line centre but I'd imagine if they sign Sutter it'll be on a 2 year deal so they can hopefully get him through waivers since to get him on the team means either losing Lavoie or sending Holloway down.

I get doing it with a forward because they're stacked but what a gamble to start the season without a goalie
that could break badly for them very fast

There's also no benefit to them. They're cap compliant if they were running a 22 man roster

I'm surprised it didn't get a mention but Bettman made it pretty clear expansion will be happening in the near term the other day.

Friedman made it clear that Salt Lake City is going to get the Coyotes or an expansion team, and that Atlanta, Quebec City and Houston are possibilities.

Who's ready for the 34 team NHL?

I'm actually ok with more teams provided Bettman never dies thus holding his no more playoff teams mantra cause the play in would suck rear end

The Capitals waived Nic Aube-Kubel after signing him to a $1.225M contract extension last season. If he goes unclaimed they'll have a small dead cap hit.

Kind of weird. I didn't expect a guy who just got re-signed to be waived but I'm not unhappy about it since it means some of the younger guys will get a shot. Carbery has seemed great so far but it's still just preseason so I'm not getting my hopes up too high given the roster is closer to a lottery team than a playoff team.

I'd imagine the idea that his salary is too high to be claimed. Its one of the reason end of roster guys get just over the amount that can be fully waived or 2x800k ish deals

I think you could easily replace the wild card with a 4 team play in though. Three games between 7-10 and 8-9 would be exciting enough to fill a week of hockey, and put something in the dead week between regular season and playoffs starting.

I like the divisional format but don't give a poo poo generally how they seed.

Adding two more teams on either side stinks though. Seeing an 81 point team getting trounced by the #1 seed does not sound like a good time.

The format doesn't matter. The only reason to care is if you're afraid your loser rear end team's record was a smokescreen and they need their hand held through the playoffs or they'll go on to lose to like... I don't know, some bigot team from Florida or something.

Ya i agree with this. At some point the best teams will play each other or else they weren't the best teams.

I like watching my team play the teams i dislike instead of Minnesota or whoever from the central that i can't name more than a half dozen players on. I wanna see Huberdeau eat poo poo and McDavid break Markstrom's brain over and over.

I also would be into that and a fully balanced schedule so that i get less Oilers playing at 1030pm Eastern and more Oilers playing at 7pm

It seems like the Sabres roster on opening night is gonna be:

Skinner-TAGE!-Tuch
Peterka-Cozens-Olofsson
Greenway-Mittelstadt-Benson
Girgensens-Krebs-Okposo
Jost

Dahlin-Clifton(?!)
Power-Jokiharju
Samuelsson-E. Johnson
Bryson (lol)

Levi
UPL
Comrie

Bryson is still there but Stillman was waived even though Bryson sucks and they traded for Stillman at the deadline. Olofsson was never traded so he’s just kinda there. The defensive pairs are stupid. Are they gonna do the three goalie thing again? Weird choices all around. Is this actually an improvement over last year? Seems unlikely right now.

Edit: Clifton played in the USA national hockey development program under Granato, in case anyone was wondering why they are overvaluing him.
