I don't know but I'd love to watch an Avalanche v Lightning Stanley Cup series I think.

Lets let Adams defend himself in his own words. If there was a 24 hour cam and audio on GMs during the lead up to the deadline I'd be watching with my favorite beverage and some snacks. I can imagine a split screen when GMs are on a call together. Drama!

Happy Birthday Bud

I think it's possible the ATM line is gonna get a good test tonight. Krejci isn't what he used to be but he's a cagy vet that could give the kids fits.

Well, he's excited. I can say that.

Ok

I dont think they should beat him up but if Risto gets a chance to deliver a nice legal snot producing check I'm not gonna be mad.

That would allow them to potentially get a better caliber goalie to pair with Ullmark next year

Reider is out tonight

Yeah, because they are playing with emotion. You just backed into my point.

Atleast someone's been in contact with him

Is Caggiula quarantined?

With these players playing their former teams so quickly after the trade there is bound to be some emotions in play tonight

Hall should have snot bubbles more than once tonight hopefully. His new team will probably stick up for him even if the hits are clean I'm betting.

I think you're right. All sorts of players could be available from whats being talked about in the media. Lots of teams will be looking to move pieces rather than lose them in expansion. Other teams face cap implications so that will cause movement as well. Those two seconds and two thirds could net more than they would in a normal year. Two seconds being the Sabres and the acquired pick

Yep. See ya douche

Caps fans are burning the capital

Someone on here has said this all along and been mostly chastised for it. Contractually earned means he had a NMC and my choices er choice, was Bahston

Right. He was just skating around sucking the life out of the team.

Brian Lawton just said if Hall backed the Sabres into a corner they should have just told him to take a seat and go get ur deal after the season. He didn't think Adams should have just acquiesced to his demands. Safe to say that there's alot of stuff that goes into this that we will never know about.

I've been behind those two their entire careers. I watched Sam get his first NHL point live in San Jose and I hate to say it but I agree with you. Sam has been good but IF they can get a young skilled winger to play and gel with Jack I think they will, and should consider it. Risto, love his effort and gritty play through the years but with the young D core coming up and all of them being better at moving the puck than him it could be time. Unless he can bring value in the form of a high end prospect or established NHL player, they should probably keep him. Maybe they convince Seattle to take him?

Sportsnet saying Hall affected the return by limiting the teams he would go to. The NMC ***** em.
