Western Red

Wow, nice. That's almost unbelievable..

Great reply. I forgot to take into account Spooner buyout coming off the books too, so that leave around 4m if this is indeed the course they take. Cheers. Back to Schmidt though, seems like a great sort. Not worried about his contract one bit, the guy is all hockey.

Yep, plenty of room to sign Hughes, Petey and Demko. Not much else though. Will be interesting to see if they bridge Hughes.

IMO, Vegas isn't going to be as good as people think.. They actually got weaker at C (which was already their main shortcoming) Karlsson Glass Stephenson Nosek They used all their money on goalies and wingers. Not very wise IMO.

Yes, by just under 1m and 21 on the roster.

Except, he didn't play much

That would've taken him to UFA, no way MTL gambles like that. I like the player and the signing will be a great one IMO.

Guess I'm in the minority of people who like this for MTL. Anderson is a great player and finisher. Both current RFAs, MTL saves space and fills a big need.

Warming to this idea, didn't think I would.

Get all Horvats pals and relatives? I'd like Konecny here, his edge is what Jake lacks. Philly would want Boeser, but would have to add. Domi I'd entertain as well. But I really don't see that happening. All in all, probably not to both.

Fanta impressed me most, $ for $ of all our D this playoff, Hughes aside obviously. ON TOPIC: Can Olli Juolevi stand tall and clear the crease at all, a la Edler?

Accurate.

Guerin helping out his old squad. Wonder what Pitt is upto. Going to be the most interesting off season in living memory.

I wish Radulov stayed in MTL, he was big time there. Proving to be a great signing for DAL.

I've been on here since high school, 2002. I was a fiery lad and may have had a previous account banned, or 2. Probably shouldn't admit to that haha.

This is a really good game!! Pumped for the boys to come out roaring in the 3rd!!!!!

Come on guys, this is the escape from reality thread!! Lets have some game talk again!! Any word on VGK goalie?

A range of emotions for me today, not going to lie. Shutting down hockey for 2 more days will actually force people to have a conversation. What those people speak of will differ greatly I'm afraid... Some will be galvanized and cite further obstructions of "freedom", whilst others with actually think about how to make the world a better place. IE being kind to every person until they give you reason not to. I was initially upset honestly. I thought 'oh they're towing the line' or 'are we going to shut down everytime an officer makes a mistake (deadly)' Upon reflection and listening to the bubbles panel of NHLers, I was moved. I questioned my selfishness. I saw that I missed the bigger picture. Many here on CDC are well off, have plenty of free time. Well, reality is that people are forced into public transit in a pandemic to make a living or sub-living wage. Lets think about those people, of any color TBH.

That Pettersson goal was legendary. He looked so much like Forsberg.

I disagree. Reaves isn't a monster. You can have issues all you want, but its a common and quite frankly, effective tactic. Especially against a team who is down. It may not be all that honorable.. but one must see (and use) any advantage.

I have the Bolts in 6.

Hang in there buds!!

Brutal

You'd melt, like tallow!
