I figured even a 100 trillion would be worthless but it’s actually like 700 billion us

**3rd banknote during the hyperinflation period & no longer in circulation. Appears you can buy a 100 Trillion note online for about $400 bucks.

Vancouver is now out of a playoff spot. They are going to do something big soon. Elias Pettersson is going to get traded.

Buffalo for Cozens++ or New York for Zibanajad + are two deals that pop out to me.

If he goes to Buffalo, I'd love to try to interject and move out Petts to Vancouver with Byram coming our way from Buffalo. That fits the get younger narrative and would give us a right now replacement on LD.

I don't see them trading Byram for Pettersson if they made that type of deal.

Probably not, but who knows. Maybe we take on Hogs salary or add value in another way. Just saying he would be an interesting guy to get.

I would be 100% on board with obtaining Byram.

Apparently it was reported pulj asked for a trade before being sent to the minors. Matt vénsel of the post gazette.

He blamed Edmonton for his issues there and Carolina didn’t want him back. Maybe he’s an entitled wanker in the locker room.

This is likely the case. He and Laine must hang out in the off-season in Finland...

Our boy Tanner Howe had a nice goal there set up by Yager. But boy does this Canada team suck.

Cameron is a good awful coach, how was he the best guy we could get?

The whole play. Howe to Yager, save, recover, back to Howe.

There was Finnish reporter who interviewed Dubas on U20 tournament. Dubas said that he tought somebody would claim Puljujarvi and they haven't send him down and don't plan to as of now he trains with the nhl team. Reason to put him to waivers was partly to give him a chance to play after all he is been trough with injury and rehab.

Do you blame Puljujarvi's frustration? It's like Sullivan put him into every spot to fail. Then the opposite situation with DOC who is the same age.

I don't know if he was put in positions to fail, but fringe guys usually need to stand out and produce in the chances they are given. He really didn't from what I remember. He had a good game or two, but I kept wondering where the player from the preseason went? Like Tojo said a couple of days ago.... Sullivan will always have his role players. Does JP kill penalties? Does he play center? I don't know those answers, but I do know DOC does those things. Fwiw, It took about 2.5 years for Sullivan to fully trust DOC.

I'd like to see Pulj get an extended look, but every other team was given the chance to pick him up and they didn't. I give Dubas some credit.... Sounds like they were willing to acquiesce and give him an opportunity elsewhere.

I think he was the most capable bottom 6 playing in the 100’ of ice from centre to the enemies net. He was fast, fore checked, could shoot. He wasn’t as good as some of the others in his own zone and doesn’t pk. I’m sure he easily could have learnt but that was probably his downfall.

In terms of his play, he should not have been a scratch. We have needed someone with an offensive pulse playing with Geno, he would have been a better fit than DOC.

It could be that he is a locker room discontent. Who knows. No one else across the league cared to take him for free, so there might be more to it.
