So we're getting the prospect camp in before FA? Anyone else think that's interesting?

Is it usually not this late after the draft?

...what?

How so?

Think this is the 3rd coach in league history to do this. Bowman did it a ton, however it was always to move up to a better position. The guy from the NYR did it after they won in...1994? And now Trotz Disclaimer: I could be wrong with that, there may be one more guy Edit: I was close, but still off. Thought Bowman did it 3-4 times http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/23732808/2018-stanley-cup-final-washington-capitals-coach-barry-trotz-options-winning-cup-new-contract-nhl

@FriedgeHNIC We had believed Trotz was a free agent this summer. That’s not correct. There was a two-year extension if he won the Cup in WASH. But, as coaches’ contracts have exploded in value, it was below the current market. Both sides tried to negotiate an extension.... @FriedgeHNIC 5m5 minutes ago But they could not come to terms. Trotz is now a free agent, as WASH will grant permission to other teams who want to talk to him. 3/3

Ours news media is a reality show. Honestly their petty drama with each other is more entertaining than anything they can possibly report or write about the teams anyways

Wow, so much for McDaniel be so much better than everyone else in the league. Crosby destroys him in that link

I'm so close to making my avatar Bergevin

Well her +/- wasn't available so this is all I had

Wait, so we wound up setting up our own demise? What a crazy coincidence

You mean to tell me he couldn't tell this girl was grade A batshit from the start?

I'm always a big proponent of moving up into the later 1st early 2nd round of drafts; who the hell cares what your 3-6th picks are gonna be anyways? Point being, how do we get Dellandrea

I think the return for Karlsson is going to be extremely underwhelming for Ottawa. Everyone knows he's leaving, especially after the Hoffman stuff. If it's not a sign and trade, they won't get anything back. Even if it is a sign and trade, there are questions about his health, and he'll want a ton of money, so the teams Ottawa can realistically send him to are what? maybe 3-6 teams? My point is, what is the point of devaluing that even more by throwing in Bobby Ryan? They're clearly in full rebuild mode, and he's only got 3 years left. Just keep him and eat the cap space to get you to the cap floor while you rebuild. By the way, what the hell happened to him? He just completely fell off a cliff around 25 https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/r/ryanbo01.html

There's a movie based on a book coming out called Crazy Rich Asians...really?

Germany isn't the same team as they were lats time around. Little bit older, little bit slower

I'm so excited

What? They reported stories as they occurred. You really think if they completely fabricated stories for months that anyone would take them seriously? Come on

Yes, extend the guy that can't score more than 10 goals a season to be your 2nd line center @FriedgeHNIC 51m51 minutes agoMore Part of this deal will be an extension for Domi, to be worked out over the next few days More Part of this deal will be an extension for Domi, to be worked out over the next few days @FriedgeHNIC 51m51 minutes ago More Part of this deal will be an extension for Domi, to be worked out over the next few days

You sure? I mean at this point we could trade them Nylander to be their 3rd line center for Weber

Honestly Bergevin is quickly becoming my favorite person in hockey. It's like somebody gave jeffosmayic the reins to a hockey team. I love it They refused to play a guy at center who should be. So to compensate that, they trade for two wingers to make them centers. Amazing. Absolutely amazing

Bergevin is the dumbest man alive

:lol: :lol:

Ah gotcha. So the entire league agrees with us about what we would take for 1st overall, and that's only McDavid
