NHL 23: Broken Sternums and Broken Dreams

[My Spot]

Well pre cap, it was the weak canadian $$$$$

The Oilers will be paying about $80 million in revenue sharing (I'm surprised they're tied for #1 with the Leafs) while we'll be getting about $40 million.

I thought he just said he was banged up and would have to sit a year out, as a minimum. I didn't think he had actually said he had retired. His contract was traded to join the HoF roster of contracts held by the Coyotes

With the way the cap recapture penalty is written it didn't matter who ended up with the contract last, Nashville was going to be on the hook for a major hit if the retired before the contract ended. Luongo retiring early hosed the Canucks the same way.

I was more referring to his eligibility for the HoF. I must've missed the news that he officially retired.

I do vaguely remembering that Arizona now own his contract. Like they owned Datsyuk's

Wonder if the Avs stick with Georgiev or try for a better goaltender in a trade. Rumblings say they were interested in Ullmark before he was picked up by Ottawa from Boston. But who knows if that was true.

Oof

Oof

At least someone benefited from the oil

@idrankyourbeer should be happy that Myers resigned in Vancouver.

Tkachuk was like "okay dad, time to give it back...seriously, give it back" when he let him hold the Cup.

Reports saying the Preds got Saros for 7.5 million per, for 8 years.

That's a crazy good deal.

This is precisely what I was referring to about Connor being the NHL and media darling. Lol. Such a hilarious excuse that would be laughed out of the room if it were made for any other player. And you will see ridiculous excuses like this for the sports darlings in all the other major sports too. I want to see him win a Cup some day, but I also enjoy seeing the apologists suffer and say the stupidest shit. "Three day breaks in between every game is not enough for him!"

Losing the Final in game 7 probably increases his odds to be voted in as the Hart winner too.

The regular season trophies were voted on before the playoffs started

Sharks trade up to 11th. My guess is they want Buium or Dickenson and might trade up again. Probably eyeing Utah or Ottawa pick

Sort of surprised to see Weber get in that fast.

I think he retired after the bubble year, and proceeded to fuck the cap for the Predators because they got hit with the salary retention penalty.


Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Ozzy should have went in together... imo

Does Zetterberg have the numbers or accolades for the hall? Genuine question. I know he's got one cup and a gold medal.

If Weber gets in, Zetterberg should get in too. Maybe next year?

 

[Batjester]

Weber is a stretch to be a HOFer.

 

[Halifax]

I am soooo ready for the draft tonight

Alfredsson got in.

Alfredsson got in.

Also a stretch.

Freidman was on the Pat McAfee show looking like he just got out of bed. Great look Eliot you tool.

 

[Batjester]

Oh, and a "source" told me today that Conor wants out of Edmonton.
