2025!?!? Jesus. We need a Mike Richard's special, anyone know a sneaky pharmacist?

To be honest, I'm not sure which option is worse actually. $5mil a year could actually prevent them from doing things, $1.6 for all that time really sucks but if they're smart with the cap moving forward, it's not as big of a crutch, just really annoying. I dunno, GD it homer!!!!

it is 1.77 for 4 years after his contract runs out (23-24), but I dont think the 5 mil a year will be that rough. I think its worth waiting and trying to retain salary on him or hoping he gets expansion drafted

this one says ~ 1.7M until 2024. Not sure which is right, but you get the idea. Its terrible.

You know what else is terrible? They guy that traded for, and then signed MacDonald.

How was this not a bench minor? There are 6 oilers alone in this frame. I believe they had 8 people on the ice at some point.

This gif really just sums up the Flyers of recent years. Small sized forwards that get pushed around by the rest of the league. Even their tough guys a little dudes. Flyers really need a big, tough, skilled top 6 forward.

When I saw this happen and saw Schenn and G both go down, the only thing that crossed my mind was if they both go down with injuries we can say hello to a top 5 pick

Ghost shoves Hall, Hall shoves Ghost. Simmonds tries to shove Hall over, Maroon pins Simmonds over the boards. Ghost walks away whining.

You're blaming the oilers there? How about Ghost learns that you take what you dish? Jesus entitlement in that kid

Don't come on other team's comment boards stirring poop up, and then act all miffed when people sling the poop you stirred right back at you.

the only part I had a problem with was Pardy pushing Schenn backwards over Giroux when his helmet was off. That was pretty dangerous and a fcked up thing to do. It happened fast so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I think Ghost took a stick in the mouth, so that is pretty painful. Not sure where the entitlement thing is you are mentioning.

Lets talk hockey.

Will EDM pick a defenseman if they are picking in the top 3 this year, or another forward?
Maybe trade the pick for a top defenseman?
Not sure you need another forward, they are pretty stacked already.

Possible cousins could be the 13

Would you agree a 3rd line center needs to be a UFA?

- Just5


I would like to see us upgrade there if possible, and move Bellemare to wing.

I hope White doesn't get re-signed because while he has useful skills, the coach is really overplaying him.

dangerous play, didn't think Pardy saw Giroux's leg sticking out and they fell together

top 3 this year is loaded with forwards, I say Matthews #1, Laine #2, Puljujarvi #3. Then Eberle is gone for a Dman (Hamonic, maybe). Draft whoever's best

He did also trade Meszaros to Boston for a 3rd at the same deadline and we got a really solid prospect called Mark Friedman with that pick. Or maybe that was also Hextall's idea since he was AGM the time.

Mez is in the KHL now. Between him and Rinaldo I think the lesson is we should trade more often with the Bruins.
