Sam Gagner has done a lot of good this year.

But apparently not enough to bother learning how to spell his name.

- Red001

Gagner sure drove the Oilers bus during McDavid's absence. 1 point in 5 games. I guess TSN didn't tell him that. Once again proving my theory...Ek doesn't watch Western Conference hockey.

The Buzztron loves Tampa Bay - has them going 20 wins, no regulation losses and no OT/SO losses the rest of the way. Of course they will lose some, but in a simulated world, they could legit go 20-0-0. That is a rock solid hockey team and they are rolling.


I'm guessing in this simulation Vasilevskiy plays every game, given McElhinney's sparkling 8-6-0-2 record.

My projection: Boston is a rock solid team that won't only go 19-0-0 the rest of this season, they'll also go 16-0 in the playoffs, and 82-0-0-0 next year. They're rock solid! They're on a roll! THEY'RE GOLD, JERRY! SOLID GOLD!!

No mention of Vegas who added Lehner, Martinez and Cousins....

But Pitt gets 64 year old Patrick Marleau and it's a win?

NYI would have been "bigger winners" if they would have added Parise? Me thinks MINN would have been the winner there
BINGO!

No. Sam Gagner puts the Red Wings over the top. He'll make some very key plays with Larkin and Mantha.

Just imagine if the Hawks traded Kane and Keith.

Tampa Bay has lost its last 2 games 7-3 and 5-3. Leafs better watch out tonight. Tampa is rolling! 20-0 baby!

Haha...wont BUFF have to acquire Keith from LA since he was part of the Toews deal going there for Doughty?

Or is this turning into a 3 way deal with -

LA gets Toews
BUFF gets Kane and now Keith
CHI gets Doughty

.....I wonder who BUFF is trading to get in on this!

Could be the Latvian Locomotive, Samson Reinhart, The Count of Monty Risto, Freakorenko or Snipeshow around these parts. Lots of Murrency involved. 5 premium pieces. A treasure trove of assets.

Hey Negative Nellys - Ek fully explained how the Buzztron works. If you don't want to read it, just like crack - walk away.
It's a computer s i m u l a t i o n, with no human intervention, understand now ??
Is that too complicated for ya, or do you all just have nothing better to do than to come on here and take a giant duke.
Jeez.

Maybe I'm the moron, but I love the concept.
I appreciate the site Ek

Except for the following... you're BANG ON!

"Many of you probably remember this from the last 2 years. It is basically a program we have been perfecting and last year we got pretty darn close...It now takes 27 factors into play regarding the final schedule including past records versus opponents, past records on back to backs, recent streaks, etc.."

My favourite one is... Revenge factor vs Momentum factor.

26 of the 27 factors are tennis balls.

he should probably take down the rumor tracker then since, unless he's deleted about 100% of it, you can literally scroll and watch him fail at everything he tried.

and if he didn't delete the kane/keith diarrhea then i guess he isn't deleting any.

Islanders would've been getting a player that's still pretty good and getting rid of Andrew Ladd's rotting corpse, all at a net increase of a whopping $2M and that's assuming that MIN wouldn't have retained any money on the Parise deal. That contract stinks for sure, but they would have been able to roll a third line of Parise-Pageau-Bailey which is pretty damn solid for a third line.

Not entirely sure what else they would've had to send with Ladd, but assuming it's relatively minor...that deal would have been good for the Isles.

Pitts made some nice moves, but acquiring Patrick Marleau is not doing them any favours.
Tampa, always agressive at the deadline, and yes they have an elite team, but spending a 1st for a 4th liner is also not very smart. Tampa is one dman injury away from giving Luke Schenn meaningful minutes. 😳
