What does the incoming Sean Walker extension come in at? I'll say 6 years at $4.85mil
- TobyFlenderson


If they could somehow miraculously get rid of Ristolainen. I'd sign him for 2 years for something like 2.5M a year. He's better than I thought he would be to this point. Although I think as the season progresses the shine will wear off. He's also better than Ristolainen, albeit in a small sample.

Here are the on ice results from the luxury of Ryan Poehling who plays the right way.

CF% 39.83% Ranks last among all forwards
GF% 20% Ranks last ( For those that don't know. That means the other team scores 80% of the goals when he is on the ice
xGF% 44.44% Ranks last
SCF% 43.75% Ranks last
HDCF% 44.68% Ranks last

He's a luxury all right. For the other team.

I'd honestly be OK with that, if like you said they can use their holy water to trade Ristolainen. I just hope he keeps up the play right up to the deadline and some GM overpays for his right handedness with a second rounder (or first, fingers crossed).

Did this Sean Walker all of a sudden magically turn into a 20+ min, 200-foot dman at the age of 28?

(Yeah, I doubt it)

Good point. LHD or CHD just doesn't have the same ring.

The missing piece in Edmonton. Holland will send his first rounder, unprotected.

They really need a goalie. That's their issue. It cost the coach his job.

This just in from a non-existent source - Morgan Frost is going to change the spelling of his last name to Phrost - the thought process is that initials matter more than skill to the current coach and he will no longer be a healthy scratch

Torts is already the hands down winner of the Jack Adams. Again!

It's a great idea. It would also help if he cross-checked and punched a few people also.

Knoblauch is a placeholder. They’re waiting for Chicago to fire Luke Richardson.

Hath, Laughts and ND had an incredible string of games when they were first put together... lifted all their season numbers up.

Tortorella had very little to do with it. As you conveniently forget, Tortorella had to be talked to by management to play the younger players more. While he was playing stiffs like McEwen 15 minutes a game. If it wasn't for major injuries to players such as Couturier and Atkinson. Young players would've played far less. Tortorella is about the worst coach you could have for future team and young player development. You come around to that conclusion at some point.
