Not signing...

But the big question goes unanswered. McDonough has previously said he plans on signing with the Canucks before becoming unrestricted in August. Today he deferred to the offseason:

"I'm honestly just really focused on playing my season, finishing out and going as far as we can."

If you stretch too far, youre going to need ice

Might have to package him with Schenn to Boston.

Ffs... Islanders win again.

How is that bad?

The pick has been steadily getting later. I'd rather see them holding in that 13th to 16th range. It could jump to 20th in a couple of days. Need to see a couple of losses. Points in 7 of last 9 though...

As much as I would like this years pick, this may be Lou's last year, no prospects to speak of, I really can't see them being better next season.

An extra second this season would help.

If you look at their division, they are about as high as they are going to get right now. Also seems like some good teams behind them, good chance we get 13 - 16 at this point.

Nope, just the media pumping his tires, good riddance. Maybe try to flip his rights for a late round pick.

Absolutely, hopefully JR can work a nice deal for schenn and boeser... would love another pick or two.

Look at the league standings for draft position. Not their division.

I am not positive about this but I think that applies to the non playoff teams and then the playoff teams fall in as to how they are eliminated. So if NYI made the SCF you would be drafting 31 to 32?

For them to go higher, it would have to be in their division (above wildcard) is what i was talking about.

Arizona getting badly outplayed but beating the Flames 3-1.

Flames with two quick ones, it should be 8-0 Flames but their goaltender is yikes.

Seems like all the goalies are out east these days, i dont want any part of sorokin making the playoffs!

I'm talking about draft position. They are passing teams in the west as well. Tied with Minny and the Avs right now for points. We'll see if they make the playoffs but for now I'm just focusing on points.

Whoever bubbles out of the east is going to be the lowest pick for sure, that what happens when you have such a good division like the metro.

Shea Weber's contract was traded today to Arizona for a fifth round pick.

OEL was placed on IR today and I am hoping this is the start o the end for permanent LTIR and sell.
