Teams do play differently with a hot goaltender... Helle would have won 3-4 more games for the Jets this year for sure, that's probably difference for playoff spot

Capicotti is an upgrade over Peach

Just terrible game by Ladd, Stuart, Buff ... Buff and Tromba's corsi will level out pretty quick - Lawless as usual jumped the gun, they are not an elite pairing Waiting for Hamonic.

Zach Bogosian - The Sabres defenceman struggled against Washington, with poor possession stats (20 for, 36 against, 35.7 SAT%) and on the ice for four Capitals goals in a 5-2 loss. The Myers-Kane trade could go down as one of the biggest fleeces in NHL History - and we haven't even seen what Lemieux can do in the NHL yet.

Still trying to be a Walters fan... but QB management has not been great. Argue all you want, but the fact that first Boltus and then Brohm were brought in as legit backups is evidence enough. Yes, we got Nichols for some jock straps but I don't think anyone else was interested. Edmonton would have had to cut him soon enough. Then a never-ending trail of 3rd stringers... Brown, Portis, Davis, etc.. Add the fact that we traded for Brohm and Portis... and well... we traded for Willy but Hamilton got the real jewel in Collaros. Walters may have been hampered by advice from MB but still, he's the GM and its his final call.

@BobIrvingCJOB should be lots of cap room come free agency. Ted Laurent and Justin Capicciotti are names I'm hearing. I'd be fine with a 3 NI DL... or maybe add Laing or Shologan... why not

Sure would be nice if Matte makes it to FA... don't see any other good NI OL out there Watman might be a nice signing

If Edmonton is close to playoffs and McDavid is back, they could really overpay for a key piece like Buff... like Reinhart and their 2016 1st round...

Absolutely. Right now, I'd take Slater on the penalty kill over Burmistrov...

So the plan is to have Lowry play four nights in a row...? Alrighty then... Sure looks like Frolik was a far greater influence on this team's development than we gave him credit for... This was a hard working blue collar team... and then this off-season, they just handed jobs to Burmistrov, Ehlers and Copp

Still pays more than sitting at home.

Sign him - don't care if he's 30

Wow. This is the most depressing news of the off-season... If Maas assembles a dream team in one month while Bombers spend two years wading in mediocrity, I'm done.

Daley is a puck mover just like Pardy can dangle... Blackhawks got cap help so they can trade for someone better than both these plugs. With Keith on IR, they could actually add someone legit for a playoff run

47 saves...

and they eat salary... just bizarre pens fired the wrong guy

Except that contract will probably be $10 million a season...

Seven CFL games and an injury... why not. Not exactly breaking the bank.

So you'd rather renegotiate with Trouba when he's 26 instead of 29? 36 year old Ladd and Buff using up 14 million of capspace...?

Desjardins getting the right to negotiate with all of Edmonton's remaining coaching staff as compensation...

If Trouba is starting at $7 mill a year for 8, you should be able to lock him in at $6 for 8 years... I'd do that in a heartbeat. I'd say Buff and Ladd are pretty much gone. If there was ANY way to pry Muzzin out of LA or Lindholm from Anaheim...

I think you guys are underestimating the value of a playoff/cup run... Snow has been GM for almost 10 years now - the longer Chevy waits, the more Snow pays... there's no one better than Buff out there for a playoff run

NYI are going to be in the playoffs... but could use scoring. I predict - Buff, Perrault, Armia for Hamonic, Dal Colle and a 1st - at the trade deadline

Malkin and conditional pick for RNH and Nikitin.. callin it
