Oilers also had Mike Smith.

And made the conference finals.

An anomaly. Worst division by far. Got lucky. They won’t go that far again this decade.
Team got worse while others improved.

Morning Lunkhead!

Makes sense, likely rules out any JTM deal.

The Islanders just couldn't create the cap space needed to sign Nazem Kadri, likely because of their RFA signings.

The Isles are in the sh*t like VAN as far as making any significant deals.

The measure of a successful season this year is to qualify for post season, that's all.

It's also tough to sell seasons tickets when you disappear over the summer.

When the bar is set as low as it is, you can do that.

Looking at last seasons attendance numbers, Canucks fans obviously don't mind mediocrity.

First round playoff money will make FA happy, anything more than that is an unlikely bonus.

I get it that it's not easy to acquire good young D and make trades. Bruce has done a good job so they're banking on the lineup they have this season.

Pk is still available. Right shot D man. Sign him cheap on a 1 year deal and if you’re not in the playoff picture, unload him for picks.

What a sh*t show BC is...

BREAKING: Effective immediately, all customers, including bars, pubs, restaurants and the public, will be rationed to no more than three of any individual items of liquor, with the exception of beer.

It isn't just BC that is running into this problem.
It has been reported for several days, that a liquor shortage was occurring. I believe it was Britain that 1st started having issues.

Anyways, I only drink beer, so not a big concern, for myself.
