Preds will be scary.
This new sub is a casual fan in New Orleans, following recommendations on Tom Grossi’s video about the NHL.
Let’s go Hawks!
You forgot Cam Atkinson is still available
Lots going on this year. Lots of trades and signings.
Nashville should change their name to the Nashville Brandon's
I think St. Louis is gonna be sorry, scouting reports said future considerations( the one going to Ottawa) could be the next Connor Bedard. The "other" future consideration isn't as highly touted.
Vegas did the right thing some of these contracts may not age well yes it’s disappointing but have to move on
I wish Buch was still playing for Rangers..
Ask yourself whether you'd rather be Pittsburg, Washington and Chicago or Tampa. I'm not saying what the right answer is, I'm just highlighting the advantages and disadvantages
Hated to see marchy leave but I also hate dishing out long term contracts to players that are in early/mid 30s. You always get diminishing returns on those contracts
Using LTIR to cheat the cap for the playoffs and no player loyalty???? Tampa 🤝 Vegas
I’d love to see Roslovic get signed by Buffalo. Could be a decent 3rd line option
IT'S….a….BUSINESS!
Never forget that it's pure entertainment, nothing more!
Entertainment provides opportunity to do nothing useful, mostly.
St. Louis Blues…..Determined to dwell in mediocrity.
And the power of THG strikes again: Pinto just signed a new contract with Ottawa
The future consideration are owed by St Louis to the other teams
Tampa fans are heartbroken. That's kinda all there is to it.
I hate to see Stammer go, but it's business.
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few"
Bonus points if you get that reference.
Fans can be pissed all they want, but bottom line is there are finite dollars available to GM's to sign players that will (they hope) equate to a winning team.
It's nothing new.
Preds eliminating Vegas and Tampa on the way to the cup would be fun
Nashville has become a scary team. I think they're going to be my lock in for a spot in the conference finals.
He signed
Blues got both Joseph boys today. Signed Pierre-Olivier after the trade.
Bump
A couple years ago Tank Tarasenko would not have lasted past day 1 of free agency. He’s an enigma now. I think the injuries (was it shoulder?) caught up to him and his recent game has fallen off badly. At times during the playoffs he looked good but other times he looked a step behind. He’s coming off a 7.5M contract and there’s no way he’s getting anywhere near that again. What is he worth now? 2-3M per for a couple years maybe?
I m a blues fan and I hate this signing. This is the type of player we should be getting rid of. We will regret this contract when it starts. He's almost ,30 and injury prone. Armstrong is having a brutal week, he uses a 2 round pick to get rid of Hayes then takes on 2 contracts and gets nothing back and now this signing. Is he trying to to make the playoffs before he retires. Terrible week for him.
NAsheville ain't no wild card team anymore I fear
Can't wait until Steen takes over GM
The Nashville fan base is happy about it.
I think fans will quickly forgive a long-time franchise player going if their team does better for it…
Marchy was called out. There was a rumor going around that the team was offering 7m 3yr but he wasn't taking less than 5 years. He was firm. So was the team. SO while we will always love Marchy, we can just wish him the best of luck. 39 year old forward making 5.5m is just insane that isn't name McDavid.
Extremely happy Tuna is back in Jersey. He was great on a line with Nico and Dawson.
And just like that, any liking that I had for Jonathan Marchessault has evaporated. To find out that he orchestrated this move (after a year of saying that he wanted to retire as a Knight and how much he loved it here)…to basically thumb his nose at the city after 7 years? Yep, I’m done with him. Good luck, Marchy. Have fun in Nashville. Good luck.
Losing faksa is a punt on the season, farewell head of the table… the tribal chief
Marchy was offered a 3 year contract but he was looking for 5 years so he declined. Heard it was 7million AVV for 3 years but don’t quote me on that. Anyways it’s a business and I wish him nothing but the best in Nashville. Gives a guy like Brisson to get regular playing time. GKG
Everything comes to a end. Keeping players to for long just draging your team down. Cant have to many older players. Simple as that.
Love Fitzy brought back Tomas Tatar!!
Dang it, Marchessault and the Habs looked like a done deal even before the playoffs started, I know I remember talk were had with Kent Hughes and Jonathan. We have the cap space for one veteran who is still in his prime to help out our very young squad. That would literally push the Habs into playoffs seeking territory if so, as long as Monty keeps getting better every year like he has been doing ever since he got the job as 1A. Oh well, I still think the Habs will be able to attract a 30 goal scoring veteran who has won elsewhere like in 20-21 when nobody expected anything from them and suddenly Eric Staal and Corey Perry were acquired at the deadline. Both were pretty good during those playoffs too. Speaking of Eric Staal, yet another year where he wasn't playing in the NHL, I forgot if he was playing at all, but unlike his brother Marc, last I heard is that he wanted to play until he was 40. I'd take him back in a heartbeat as a 4th line centre even if we're packed at that position (Suzuki, Dach, Newhook, Evans). That kind of player would be a backup plan to me in case you can't get your hands on a UFA that has experience and is not washed out and could play on the second line with Dach.
Even though Tatar was only in Seattle a short time, he made an impact. Hilarious guy and always seemed happy. Glad he’s going back to a team he’s familiar with.
Letting Marchessault walk to Nashville was a bad move by Vegas. He scored 42 regular season goals last season and was definitely worth what he was asking. He was asking under 6 million a year for 5 years but Vegas management only wanted to sign him for 3 years.
Nashville is a bumping town. Zero state income tax in TN (doesn’t matter), but highest state sales tax (9.25%). Preds doing win now, I think. Probably isn’t the best move long-term, though. Stammers and Marchy will do well and will be embraced (if you’ve ever been to a Preds game, you’ll know), but I cannot get past the cartoon logo and canary. The alternate logo should be the primary (And SJ and Vancouver).
Nashville fan here! I think Tampa and Vegas did the right thing…
WTF ?? I’d do anything to not sign Duchene and keep Faksa…epic fail. We sign a ton of Bums and trade Heart and Soul. F-
Lankinen to Montreal is good deal I guess. They can try him as 1B goalie with Montembault. Primeau is soft, I think he is at best 2A goalie. Also maybe Gustavsson from Minnesota to Montreal? And Minnesota will have Wallsted-Fleury and Groesnick as third, also talented Hlavaj in the AHL.
Emotional Lightning fan here. No way we could/should have signed Stamkos 4x8mil. Bittersweet ending to a great era, but it's the right move. Good for Stammer getting paid.
At least the only way that the Panthers face Stamkos and Marchessault in a playoff series is if they are in the Stanley Cup Final again.
