Most won't like this... but I have this weird feeling that Nashville is going to be called tomorrow as the 1st overall.

Tyler Cameron: Goodbye Edmonton, Hello Vegas

Well, technically, the Blackhawks aren't saying "Goodbye" to Edmonton because they are still there, but you get where I'm going.

I knew there was a chance but I thought Edmonton would have put up a better fight. The Oilers just didn't want it as much as the Hawks.

What do I think about this series? Here are 5 thoughts as we head into game 1.
- Tyler Cameron

Is playing the round robin the same as playing a best of 5 elimination series, probably not.

To me a big key will be how Dach performs vs probably the more physical Knights.

If lines 1 and 2 perform as well as they did vs the Oilers lines the Hawks should compete in this series.

Trust 4th line, like i said before if that 3rd line can hold its own

If Koekkoek and Maatta can play like they did in game 4, i like our chances

Toronto will probably get the 1st pick

Perhaps it’s a simple case of schadenfreude... but man I do enjoy seeing TOR lose.

CLB vs TBY... the rematch. Should be fun.

Toronto will probably get the 1st pick

Damn.... that loss really must sting for the Leafs. With a flat cap they won’t be able to make too many changes either.

Isn't it how life works, last thing you need is another forward

They should be the best team by now. Look how everyone has so much playoff experience.

goddamit 930 start

Time’s up.

The high-octane Leafs shut out twice, 10 goals in 5 games - 6 total for Mathews, Tavares, Nylander (2 each) and Mariner [0].

Both hosts eliminated ! True neutral site playoffs. Crazy.

Every team that lost in the qualifiers is actually a better team than the team who eliminated them, according to HockeyBuzz bloggers. Oilers have 2 great players and......crickets. (frank) the oilers and (frank) Toronto.

Bye bye laffs.

So?

The last 6 overall #1s are not playing in the next round.

the leafs are in big trouble...and no mike babcock to blame...

alot of money wrapped up in 4 forwards like 40 mil per for the next 5 years...and barrie is a UFA....good luck mr shannahan

No beuno...

And until proven otherwise, Andersen is exactly who he was in 2015 when he slowly crapped the bed in the WCF against the Hawks. He finished with a sub .900 save %.

He’s not going to win you a series.

They should be the best team by now. Look how everyone has so much playoff experience.

Toronto is Edmonton 2.0.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Leafs move one of their forwards for a high-end d-man.

Hahaha absolutely better in your mind. In real life both the oil and leaves are golfing tomorrow. Better at what? Regular season hockey? Losers lose in warm weather hockey.

Seabrook? TOR would have to add a sweetener... right?

hawks vs knights...11:30 PM EST....WTF is that...

I think that was 1030 ET but none the less WTF

good luck with that...nobody going to give up a quality dman for those dudes and their contracts...

I say the Rangers.

Should the Hawks remain at 17 I’d trade down to get extra picks. Maybe 17 and 55 to Ottawa for 22 and 33.
- DarthKane

Would you like to try for Holloway with our pick or settle for maybe a lesser quality prospect by trading down (as you indicated)

Really boils down to this: is it worth getting a higher #2 or considering our farm system, do you want to try to draft the best quality player in round one. My choice is to defer to whatever wiz says on this....but initially I want to try for Holloway if (role play as Bowman) Saad is going to be dealt eventually. I would like to keep Saad but I am uncertain how his future salary may be too much for his slot in the lineup.
