The Everything NHL Thread

It scares me to death, but they're one of the few teams with the young assets to pull it off. Strome, Reinhart, Dal Colle, Ho-Sang etc. I hope they don't, cause if the do JT puts up 100+ points a year and they can absolutely ride those two plus their depth to a cup or two
They might actually win a playoff series too
Sekac for Smith-Pelly. Don't know much about either so Ducks and Habs fans, or anyone who has one, voice your opinion
Holy shit I didn't know they moved the deadline to today.
Tlusty to the Jets for a 3rd and conditional 6th
Winnik to the Pens for a 2nd, a 4th, and Zach Sill
Sekera to the Kings for a Conditional 1st and a prospect
EDIT: Damn it why does no one post on this thread? Would rather make a seperate post but not gonna triple post.
Jagr to the Panthers for a 2nd and a 3rd

The rebuild is in full force. What kind of voodoo magic did the Leafs do to pull that shit off though? Thought that contract would be unmovable.
columbus ownership wanted ANY kind of contribution for their money, and the leafs don't mind paying millions of dollars to a guy who's never going to play again as long as they have no cap hit
also columbus stupidly didn't insure the horton contract
just an awful trade for the blue jackets, who essentially had to make it because of ownership
Columbus physically couldn't insure his contract due to Hortons past injury history
I'm confused about the Horton trade for the Columbus side.
Everyone on the internet (except Solace) is saying it was a great trade for both sides, but isn't paying Horton's contract without a cap hit better than paying Clarkson's contract for a mediocre power forward with that cap hit???
I'm really not understanding that at all....
Unless ownership decided to be cheap and didn't want to pay for Horton + better alternative to Clarkson...in which case fuck the ownership.

Columbus has some serious cash flow problems, they couldn't afford to be paying Horton's 5M a year to not play for them. Acquiring Clarkson means that for the same cost they get a warm body to play for them. So yeah it's basically ownership being cheap except that they borderline couldn't afford to pay Horton+another

Ownership wants Connor McDavid in Ohio, so bringing in Clarkson helps out that effort tremendously.
yeah, it was almost all ownership motivated from what i've read
they signed a bad, uninsurable contract and didn't want to pay money for a guy who wasnt gonna play, but the leafs have infinite cash so they don't mind paying it to get rid of clarkson's cap hit
So is Nashville's slide how they're going to be in the playoffs? Or do you guys think this is just a rough patch in the road for them and they'll be fine?
me!
Just so it's out there, let the record show that the Rangers are now 15-2-3 since Hank went down. Good to see everyone saying that we relied on Hank and that we'd really struggle to keep pace look like idiots. 1st in the Metropolitan with games in hand, 1st in the Conference with games in hand, and tied for 1st in the NHL with games in hand.
Logged in here to see if there was any trash talking. Here to win, haven't lost since week 10 and I'm not planning on ending that streak
not everything goes as planned ;)
That damn Dallas vs St Louis game :l Congrats, it was close!
Rangers win the President's Trophy the year Hank misses about 30% of the year, and they did it on the Devils home ice to finish the season sweep. Oh and LA lost to Edmonton and is most likely going to miss the playoffs, and the Pens could very well miss them as well. Can the regular season be any better?
