Pucks & politics

[moth @mth_alt_T]

@JonnEngstrom Our draft and prospect capital would have been absolutely ridonkulous, possibly unprecedented in the cap era

And most important of all, the following 3 drafts? Bedard, Celebrini, Schaefer ...

But hey, I'm glad we signed Kadri Huby Weegs and made a run for it ...

😪💔

@beerandmargs @RyanNPike Who do ya think is best left to use it on? And by best I mean will help net the best return

For me I think Strome at $5m

[Elijah the Middleborne @TheMiddleborne]

The Romans would have seen this and immediately gone insane

[moth @mth_alt_T]

@breadmanlakings @FriedgeHNIC 2/2 They had the most cap space in the league going into FA, will have $25m fall off next year, & the cap will rise

I guarantee you every single guy in that dressing room feels bigger, more confident, & ready to hunt the playoffs after today

SJ is having their cake & eating too

[moth @mth_alt_T]

@breadmanlakings @FriedgeHNIC I fucking hate no-solution presenting comments like this. Would you like them to sit on their asses while Keaton & Lin develop? You realize Celebrini is in his prime NOW and they could've just made playoffs

1/2

[jason demers @jasondemers5]

Sharks are absolutely on fire right now I am losing my mind 🤣🤣🤣

[moth @mth_alt_T]

@nitwitschool 2/2 Yes Florida won like that recently but the Canes just showed the way of the future - which is BTW ANA’s contention timeline, 3 or so years from now

They arguably gave away McTavish and are now playing hardball with Leo? Like what is going on there???

[moth @mth_alt_T]

@nitwitschool This obsession that Verbeek has with players like himself from his era could very well cost the Ducks this window. Extremely intrigued how it all pans out

1/x

[moth @mth_alt_T]

@hockeymongler @FierySharky Highly disappointed in Mason’s development. I don’t believe he is a top-4 mainstay anymore and consequently the team that acquires him will likely regret the cost

Would much rather go after Kevin Korchinski. Small acquisition cost and risk there IMO (but also small reward)

[BearsShowYo @BearsShowYo]

nigga holy shit

[TR @Deji_mide]

Going against a player with this mentality is insane

[moth @mth_alt_T]

@ssb_finesse @ColtonBaxter17 Original tweet is quite off base. Reinbacher is the 3rd part of that Habs D core while Guhle is the older, less flashy stalwart that is locked down to a fair long term deal

Aka, our version of Mr. Bahl!

[moth @mth_alt_T]

@Jeremy4Runner @Trevor_Neufeld There is certainly some relation but agreed not significant

Every GM interview I’ve heard about the topic comments unprompted that decentralized makes is tenfold easier to consult with your staff and speak with other teams

@JhanHky If you don’t learn to skate before puberty you basically have zero chance of competing

Skating is like languages. Sure yeah you can learn as an adult just fine. But you will learn it faster easier and better as a child and from there it’s like muscle memory of riding a bike

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Real nice moment at draft. Cameras caught a fan in crowd with a clipboard, charting the picks.

@NHLMedia crew brought him on set. Great to recognize devoted fans like this

@IanC19si83 Good lord what a mess lol

[moth @mth_alt_T]

@DrEdd_Ruckus @ColtonBaxter17 The chance that Carels reaches the potential described here VS the chance Bjorck reaches the potential you described is too far a gap. We are not some teams like SJS or ANA that are loaded up with top talent, we need to manage ceiling vs floor well

[moth @mth_alt_T]

@RingOfFireCGY Holy fucking shit if this goddamned franchise hasn't learned anything from the Huberdeau signing may as well shut down the rebuild before it even starts

Difference here is Clarke has actually PLAYED FOR THE TEAM and is a homegrown drafted & developed talent

This movie has the most overwhelming battle sequences ever put to film. This clip is just the tip of the iceberg (doesn't even include any of the sequences shot from hot air balloon).
