Hate to break it to you, but that's a Decepticons logo

Yeah, basically I came in for the playoffs in 2014/15 and made the Finals with zero players available, then followed that up the following year. They very graciously put me down as GM alongside MM for the Canucks but he was the GM for that run so deserves the credit (though I do like to enjoy taking credit for some of it ). It's actually incredible that we have such a fantastic archive. It's a brilliant piece of work that I love looking back at.

For anyone looking to make less-obvious deals to improve their team, the Ottawa Senators are considering offers on the following players: Patrick Marleau - PIT - 2.21 PPG - $3m AAV (will retain 50%) Joe Thornton - SJS - 2.14 ppg - $3m AAV (will retain 50%) Alex Chiasson - EDM - 2.28 PPG - $2.5m AAV Andrew Ladd - NYI - 4.5 PPG - $1.25m AAV (will retain $250k) Devin Shore - CBJ - 1.86 PPG - $2.25m AAV (will retain $750k) Mark Pysyk - FLA - 2.41 PPG - $1.75m AAV Derek Forbort - CGY - 2.01 PPG - $2.75m AAV (will retain $750k) Jon Merrill - VGK - 2.38 PPG - $1.575m AAV Darren Helm - DET - 1.97 PPG - $700k AAV Alex Biega - DET - 1.98 PPG - $1.1m AAV Kevin Connauton - COL - 1.5 PPG - $1.25m AAV (will retain $250k)

FYI, I took over as GM of the Wild at the start of the playoffs in 2014-15, so I too am a 1-time Finalist. Also, while I started off the season with Vancouver, @Master Mind had them from before the trade deadline, and so he deserves sole credit for that win.

It's Dutch, meaning 'from the corner'. Now I don't know about you folks in North America, but here in Blighty, the only things you can buy from a street corner are top hats and cucumber sandwiches. I wonder what Mike and Paul's family was doing 300 years ago Although, mayhap it was a World War thing? One of my friends' families is 'Suikerbuik' - Sugarbelly - because when the Nazis invaded and took the names of the residents, most opted to give a fake name, which they then kept. So it may be that Mike and Paul are instead descended from some very funny Dutch people

I'd like to wish my opponent @snowflake good luck in our match-up - I don't have a goalie so anything is possible!

I'll join late @Rush17: DET vs MTL: Montreal WSH vs BUF: Buffalo NJD vs CBJ: Columbus FLA vs BOS: Boston West: VAN vs ANA: Vancouver WPG vs SJS: Winnipeg ARZ vs LAK: Arizona NSH vs DAL: Dallas

So...you...traded him to me?

I'm confused @Rush17 - the round robins are for what, predictions purposes? Or do they mean something in the GML scheme of things? I hadn't expected to see my team scoring any points yet

Same for me for about 3 months Bomba, on all devices.

Best first line in the league right there.

2 for me as well - I don't want to be in a play-in round, would be a waste of my time

- Hitler will be relieved - 59 career NHL points and $2.5m career earning says otherwise - Amen

It won't do you much good, seeing as I'm going to win the Cup, but I guess you could do if it makes you feel better Seriously though, I assume teams will have to announce their full rosters with black aces and then we do the same?

This may be the only Calder Trophy Quinn actually wins

I thought postal voting was open to 100% fraud?

Quinn Hughes for everything y'all

Ottawa may well take a bad contract off a team for the right price, so teams can be rid of two bad contracts instead of one.

I'm sure others have said it, but the bias towards modern players is laughable in this list. How Larionov isn't in the top 20, let alone the top 40, is insane.
