The Everything NHL Thread

Pretty happy about the sutter trade since it will give the canucks another center that can actually win face offs and match up against other top centers. Bonino was pretty much useless against the top end west centers and didn't do shit on the 2nd PP unit so maybe this will open the door for horvat to get some 2nd pp time. We got clendening for free pretty much and already have weber/corrado that are better so losing him is irrelevant. Don't really get why J.B is so eager to throw in draft picks all the time, but w.e.

Agreed. Sutter's pretty overrated, and really isn't good that defensively. Pens Top 6 is looking good as it usually does, but now that they've gotten actual good depth (more so getting better Top 6 players to push others down, but it's the same thing) for the first time since they won the Cup, they're going to be a serious threat. Sid-Geno-Bonino-Fehr is the best center corps in the league IMO.

Too bad their blueline is not very good.

It's definitely a question mark. Letang is always an injury risk, so he's a wildcard. I think they're relying a bit too much on their prospects/young players to take steps forward, but if they continue developing, then a D-Corps Matta-Letang/Pouliot-Cole/Lovejoy-Dumolin could certainly be enough to not actively harm them. Of course, that's dependent on them not playing Scuderi, which is unlikely, so with him in the lineup over either Lovejoy or Dumolin would make their blue line much worse.
 
hahahaha this trade is hilarious the Canucks got a 4-th line scrub and the Pens are looking dangerous again
 
If Aldaron doesn't want to host again, I'll do it. Same set-up as last year with live auction draft and G, A, +/-, PPP, Hits, SOG, GAA, SV%, Wins?

Still the closest final I've seen in a few years.

Well that makes 4-5 so far, but I'd like a 12 man league so anyone active, knowledgeable, and interested is welcome to sign up here. I'll probably create the league by the end of the week and shoot for a draft time in the last week of Sept.

What kind of scoring system is it?

do sexual assault allegations count? because you're probably going to win that category

I figure if he plays it's a fantastic pick. I did hear someone reading an article that apparently Kane's DNA was found in her fingernails and on her shoulders but WAS NOT found in her vagina or on her undergarments so if that's corroborated I can't see him getting convicted.

ah here's one link

Entirely possible there could have been a struggle where he drunkenly tried making out with her or fondling her without her consent but unlikely to be able to prove that in court. With rape off the table and only sexual assault a possibility it seems highly likely he'll be acquitted.
 
At this point I think it's more his playing future in Chicago that's in question than if he's going to be charged with rape. Your league has so many categories it's hard to cover them all, but your team looks decent.

The organization came out in support of him by endorsing his statement. The only way they cut him loose is if the sexual assault allegations become actual charges.
