@ThomasDrance@TheAthleticNHL It’s saying something about their prospects when 3/5 are from the draft on weekend. Hopefully they can keep a few veterans that will over achieve early in season so they can trade and get a 2nd first round pick in 2027.
@bigambitionzAT@ThomasDrance There are about 1000 combinations in nhl draft. SJ had best odds in Celebrini draft. So about 190 or so combo numbers, but 810 for other teams. They were lucky.
@steeletalk Wow, will see how the government spin this as a good thing…. 65 years old, not sure if replacement or Canucks win the Stanley cup will happen before I pass 😂
@BCLions What about that single point that was conceded for the missed field goal. Shouldn’t they let the ball bounce and see if it goes out of bounds? Never know, but that point may have cost them chance to kick field goal to tie the game.
@ThomasDrance@nytimes Lot on the plate now, they need to prioritize and just work thru the list. Don’t go by what media think that the pace should be. One thing I do like is not much is leaking, so they seem to have tighten the ship from that aspect.
@prohockeyrumors With Ghallagher possibly leaving Montreal and a cap hit of $6.5 m left on his contract, what can Montreal realistically expect in any trade or will he be a buyout candidate?
@patersonjeff I’m surprised you didn’t call out the question being asked… there’s only 32 of these positions available. If someone is qualified, able and willing to relocate why wouldn’t they???
@DhaliwalSports Took a look at the top ncaa free signings for past 10 years and to say any became solid NHL players is underwhelming. Surprisingly, Richmond’s Troy Stecher was one of the good ones..
@Devin_Heroux Tho 8, technically, it’s 6 as the 2 defencemen replacing the 2 coming off are not part of the play and is considered valid. It’s the 6 players when Canada had puck in offensive zone the most blatant and missed call.
@imacSportsnet Something is different. They are moving the puck quickly so it looks like they are skating faster. Perhaps extra days for practice is helping. Having Demko back in form doesn’t hurt either.
