  1. Last year: "we need two solid goaltenders", – Detroit: "let's make it three". This year: "all teams looking for three goaltenders" – Detroit: "Hold my beer"

  2. soo either the Oilers ain't making playoffs or the curse will be broken. Jeff Skinner, 14 NHL seasons, 1006GP.. 0 playoff appearances 🙃

  3. Sad to see Gost leave Detroit. Him and Perron gone and no big names replacing the wing looks like a lot less points will be scored

  4. Seeing the signings the Oilers are pulling off, I may be too optimistic, but it tells me guys see a good chance of winning with them.

  5. THG You probably didn’t see my comment during the livestream today. If you’re still interested in the Kings (now) previous away jersey in prime green, the Kings team store has it listed at $180 & not their previous price at $250.

  6. I despise the Habs but how anyone can criticize the deal they gave to Slafkovsky is beyond me that’s gonna be a STEAL in 2-3 years

  7. Going to miss seeing Lizotte on the Kings roster, but at least his departure frees up cap space to try & sign Byfield.

  8. Man screw a GM, Jeff Jackson can be ceo and gm. Besides the questionable draft trade to pick 32, I’ve been so satisfied with this free agency and signings. If he can get a Drai extension done by September, I’m pleased. A Bouchard extension can wait for a little because he’s a rfa.

  9. My Blues have done Nothing and we have 16 million in Cap Space. Our cup win 5 years ago is still keeping me going.

  10. NBA players are signing 5 yr $300 million dollar deals let’s not get too amazed by the nhl numbers. Hardly keeping up with inflation

  11. Both my Oilers and my Capitals made a lot of seemingly great moves and no real bad ones (apart from re-signing Perry), and this scares me. It's suspicious, like something bad's going to happen now.

  12. Buffalo is such a cesspool. Jack Eichel leaves and wins a Cup. Kyle Okposo leaves. Wins a Cup. Jeff Skinner gets a big check for a buyout and gets to play with a contender with the best player in hockey.

  13. Oilers forward core is cracked after today.

    Jesus that’s disgusting

  14. I wrote a long reply to a Vancouver faan who was not happy about edmonton doing all the good signings, but when I tried to post my reply, it said entity was not available, and I tried, several times. However, since I took the time to write such a long reply, I will post it here instead (about Vancouver signings first day of free agency).

    I happened to listen to some random nhl youtube commentary channel (that consisted of several guys with different perspectives discussing) that turned out to be really good (I will subscribe to it). Anyway, they realized Vancouver is building a team arround…. Tocchet (with responsible and really tough players to play against, like Tocchet also was) to be best in the playoff. And all their 5 signings yesterday (including the bargain / low cost once) were like that (the best / 'worst'/most uncomfortable player to play against from each of the teams from which they came/signed). So they were very impressed by Vancouver signings (and it was not a pro Vancouver channel, but based in Toronto). And Vancouver had also used their playoff opponents to be opportunities to scout for the most uncomfortable/good players to have on their own team this year. All 5 players signed by Vancouver yesterday were Tocchet kind of players fitting well into his system. So that is, why they realized Vancouver is building a team, not around some player, but around Tocchet. And the channel was based in Toronto, and I don't remember which player, but they were happy Vancouver had signed a player in Toronto's division, so that Toronto would not need to face him anymore, that is how uncomfortable that player was to play against. And the same with the player (one of the defensmen) Vancouver signed from, I believe Nashville? And they said, just ask Hughes, that he would be happy to have him on the team instead of having to play against him. So that is what Vancouver has been up to lately, really preparing in the best way for the playoff (not the regular season to show off), and perhaps going somewhat below the radar. Vancouver also did not sign any old available players, they noticed.

  15. Skinner might be the most underrated signing of this off-season and Edmonton is looking pretty good. Henrique may not be on his prime but is a great addition if you place him on the third line. I think Edmonton has a good shot again at a cup final.

  16. On the subject of St, Louis they are falling way behind the power curve they need defense and I personally think Gostisbehrer would have been a great addition but if you’re falling behind on this post season it’s not good. Anaheim is looking like a last place team and I honestly think they’ll be dead last this upcoming season there seems to be absolutely zero improvements.
