Even though the lists were already put in we should be able to expose whoever we want. NMC shouldn't matter there's loopholes around it. May as well make it direct. We've see this before.

Yeah, I said it before, but I truly think Jarry will emerge as a solid goalie. He's 26, but he's basically played the equivalent of one season and this was his first season as a starting goalie in the playoffs. The Pens just don't have the luxury of time to wait until if/when he gets better.

Yep, that's the problem.

I'm actually intrigued to see what happens, if anything with the goaltending.

LOL @ The Rangers. Apparently a deal is being worked out to send Strome to SEA for Gio. Not sure how that will flow, but those are reported to be the main pieces being worked on.

I like this for the Rangers unfortunately. That is a hole they have to fill at 2C, but they've never seemed content with Strome. And Gio is quite the player to add with some of that cap space they have this year but need to use on raises in the future.

Hahaha as much as I love Mary J it's very rare for me to fvck with edibles...its not calculated enough... Like it could take anywhere from 45 to 120 mins to kick in.. How it hits you will depend on what you've ate that day, amount of sleep and hydration...and if you take to much you're locked into a heavy buzz for hours hahaha. It's also a sleepy lazy buzz and I love having energy. Having said that if you find the right dose for yourself it's lovely sometimes.

Vaping it I can control the heat at which I vape and therefor the effect and duration.. Not to mention the plethora of diff strains and their characteristics available.

Now that I think of it... We technically are returning our top 6. So is 13mil enough for a goalie and 2 middle 6 guys?

I think they sign Freddy cheap. I think they'll give guys like Z and Angello a shot. I could be crazy, but I thought Angello finally looked like an NHL player before he got hurt. Obviously just a 4th liner.

I have no faith in Laffs.

- madmike71

That may work. I think if you want a new top 6 they still need to move Zucker. ZAR's next deal is still unaccounted for which is part of what will eat into that 13M.

I kind of like Angelo. I don't like the idea of him and ZAR on the same line. But ZAR and Blueger will probably start as part of the 3rd line.

I hope they bring back Freddy too. Need a 4C.

I share your lack of faith in Lafferty, but Sully seems to think he's Tanev lite so with 2 bottom 6 RW openings I think he'll get one.

I typically take edibles for sleep for the fact they have such a longer duration than vaping. I vape too, but I just felt like eating one earlier in the day. I ate 1/6th of a 10mg gummy and it's strong lol. I've had 10mg and even 5mg before, but this is different.

Hahaha could be what it was made with.. For instance I find edibles made with THC distillate to be stronger than ones made with oil or butter.

The cookies I make from growing trim and vape shake are around 250mgs each haha... Give them all away to friends and family.

And yeah, it's a godsend for people with sleep issues. I find even if I have an edible earlier in the day, and it's long wore off, the sleep that night is still amazing and solid.

McCann isnt that guy though. Karlsson was kind of buried and just didnt get a chance. McCann has not only had chances, but he has played on really good lines. He had a really good year but I think what he did this year is his ceiling. Not a bad thing considering he had a really nice year but he isn't going to have any kind of breakout.
- MacPatty

We probably disagree about how has done. I don't feel like doing it, but if we separated the games when he actually played top 6, I'll bet his numbers are actually quite good. I think when he's struggled, it's been on 3rd lines that weren't very good.

But one opportunity he hasn't had much that he may get in Seattle is top PP time. He got a taste this year in Pittsburgh and was so good a large part of the fan base wanted him to stay there over Malkin. He gets that chance in Seattle, and on a depth chart that looks very thin at C and LW, he can definitely break out IMO.

Yea I agree, him getting top PP time for a full season and probably Top 6 for a full season and he'll be a 30 goal scorer.

His ice time should see a large rise too. If he actually gets top 6 minutes instead of what he got this season I think he will definitely have a more productive season.

I have a gut feeling they go after Landeskog. He fits the old school long pants young hockey player who I feel Hextall and Burke would want. Or maybe Hamilton. I think Rodriguez probably resigns again for cheap. He may find chemistry with Carter. Zohorna and Gaudreau probably sign for cheap. I do agree we may have some good cap space and potentially only a RHD and Goalie as our needs. Maybe they move Zucker and Pettersson. We could potentially come out with some good cap space.

Hextall has a plan and I assume with a good amount of cap space and his different plan compared to JR he Hopefully will be able to bring us a solid team next season which can do well in the playoffs.

It's funny because they have to act like they don't know the selections were already made.

I’d love Hamilton as the heir to letang. Keep tangers minutes down too.

I see someone vastly overpaying for landeskog and his production going down without rantanen and mackinnon.
