Hmmmm...how do you figure?

Jack Hughes and Nico Hiescher are primed to explode.

Bernier/Blackwood are going to be a good combo.

Hamilton is a top 5 d-man in the entire league.

Graves is an upgrade on what they had previously.

Tatar is the most underrated forward in the entire league.

1 tampa
2. panthers
3 bruins
4. leafs


1. canes
2. caps
3. islanders



I think those 7 teams are almost a lock


so the devils are in the mix with the habs, rangers, flyers and pens for that last spot

I don’t believe the Caps or the Isles are locks. The metro is wide open.

Habs aren’t making the playoffs this year unless they get Eichel

The Devils may ultimately fall short but I have loved their offseason.

I think you can make a reasonable case for any of the metro teams to make the playoffs. They all have pretty good rosters, they all have pretty big flaws. Should be interesting to watch

- BINGO!

They should put that logo on their white jersey, would look awesome.

Rangers fans on Twitter are the thirstiest bunch. Jack has over 1000 followers and most of them are from a team that he will never play for lol.

Jack Hughes and Nico Hiescher are primed to explode. Hughes prolly, Hischier, will have to take a big step.

Bernier/Blackwood are going to be a good combo. Sure, good. Not great though.

Hamilton is a top 5 d-man in the entire league. Dougie fresh is worth every penny. But I guess he's a weirdo.

Graves is an upgrade on what they had previously. This isn't saying much. Graves is a good add, but if they try to play him above his skill level, might not be good.

Tatar is the most underrated forward in the entire league. Whoa, that's a statement. I don't know about that. He was traded for a 1,2, and 3. Don't think he's worth more than that.

Hey, Maxi-poo just did it for me and that's my favorite moment in Sabres history - Max gets benched only to come back and be the OT hero next game and eliminate the Rags, does the penguin slide.

This is what happened to Pegullaville, back when he first scouted Draisatl and, more recently, with Eklund.

- BINGO!

That's a great jersey. Looks good with Eichel on it too.

It's a modern classic. Their current red uniform is excellent, too.

Yeah their white jersey is junk, they should just reverse this for their away look.

From an "insider" on a Flames board who's verified by the mods and broke the Coleman signing, Lucic/Neal trade, and Pitlick trade.

"I have heard it from a source close to management (if you don't want to believe me, all good) that the 3 teams still seriously in on Eichel are Anaheim, Vegas, and Calgary.

As well, there is a serious rift between Tkachuk and the team. He has not been training with any of the flames this summer, and has made it very clear he wants to go to the states (ideally St. Louis).

Last year after the Muzzin incident, closed door meeting for the players, but then Tkachuk met with management and was told "we will help you fight your battles, but we're not going to fight all of them every night".

From that point on, he was described as acting "pouty" for the rest of the season (which seems obvious now given how he was playing).

The Flames are looking to move him as part of the Eichel package, since there is almost 0% chance he re-signs here next summer, but Buffalo is not that interested in him. Likely because they know he isn't signing there either.
This seems to be the hold up on the Eichel deal. If a 3rd team got involved, Tkachuk would likely end up there with more futures going to Buffalo."

Nor should we want him. He is bad news on many fronts.

- Jet Jaguar BD

agreed.

Though I think we're probably getting something with this logo going forward. They've been using this A LOT in promo material and it's all over the new practice arena:

Well maybe St.Louis gets involved if Tarasenko is moved.

agreed.

Way better than the current one. White looks like poop in the logo
