yeah but i have a feeling Hill will be gone after his year deal antti niemi 2.0
Ruff for Adams!
I don't have a Twitter account–because it's a cesspool, and could be used to frame any violent monsters or aliens trying to destroy humanity as the heroes. But I do keep checking in on CapFriendly every once in a while, for trade/signing news. And every time I'm just left thinking, "Really? Everyone's just standing pat? Come on. We all know damn well there's a lot of stuff that needs to be done. Quit the BS and do something."
Dont pay more than 5 for dubois. Hes a proven quitter on every team hes played for. And hes like what, 30 now?
Dont see why Backlund has not gotten the C in calgary. He usually wears a letter in the national team, even captained Sweden to a gold medal.
Remember when Karl went around saying he was going to get paid "what he's worth". Hows that working for him?? Good on him. He's a cancer in the dressing room
they can't afford him, or he isn't worth it?
Hopefully Montreal doesn't pay that to Dubois. Leonard should be the odd man out. How do they make that work?
I feel like at this point the Habs should be the only team that goes after Dubois. I fear we'll just get more of the same from him if he goes anywhere else.
I think VGK signing Hill for that amount means they know Lehner is done one way or another.
I wish we had signed Barbie instead of Hill. I feel like that would have been the best move long term.
If PLD goes to Montreal it will mean that Winnipeg will be getting a much smaller return.
Karlsson market is very small if he wants a contender. My guess he’s going no where
The feeling among Habs fans is that while we would like PLD, we are not willing to give up anything close to what LA supposedly is. Some fans are not onboard with giving anything and want him to come for free once he is a UFA. Fans also are sneering at the supposed cap hit he wants. If he comes here, it is because Winnipeg has no other options because I can't see Kent changing routes and giving up what they want. I'm excited for him to go wherever he goes because as you can imagine, Montreal media has hammered this into the ground to the point that it is reaching middle earth
A suggestion for a video is to make one on goalies who perform well in the playoffs during thier UFA year. I think hill getting paid via the knights is a mistake. The team has showed they can win with him and hill hasn't shown he can pull it together for a full season. This is not a knock on hill who was amazing in the playoffs when they needed it and deserves to be paid.
So they will be playing the LTI game with Lehner this time… and probably Stone again…
It worries me giving Backlund the C if he's mentioning they could've used that voice in the locker room last season and didn't get one. You don't need the C on your jersey to act like one, maybe he's not the guy? Hard to say not being in the room.
Hart Trophy is not for league MVP.
I have heard Lehner brought up a couple times as if he would come back. Here in Vegas we are hearing other rumors, ones that involve financial crimes, and snake farms. I don’t know all the details but it appears that Lehner was involved in a Tiger King like scandal, and he may have committed some crimes that would allow Vegas to exercise a contract clause and release him. Would love it if THG looked into it and did an episode.
Passing on the award show. But the draft is a must watch
shoulda waited
Update: Taylor Hall traded to Chicago.
I don't see a Karlsson trade happening today. I expect that even if something's been agreed to they're waiting until after the award ceremony tonight…it would be really weird not to wait a day if they were handing out the award to Erik Karlsson of [insert team] rather than Erik Karlsson of the San Jose Sharks. If it was ready a couple weeks ago that's a different story but to not wait a day just seems unlikely.
As a KNIGHTS FAN I like Hill but that contract is high. and on the Lehner situation he will be traded or On long term LTIR. I Do Not see Lehner play another game in a golden knights uniform
It's being reported that Bedard wins tonight
Where are Knights rings?? Is there only 1 to rule them all??
I hope sorokin wins vezina
I am fully in support of giving PLD a chance at his own Eichel-like renaissance, but really do not want to see us lose guys like Iafallo or Vilardi.
Quick will be gone. Lehner can go pound sand with all his crying & injuries. Good for Hill.
The Sharks need to include a third team in a Karlsson trade as a broker and help alleviate costs.
Karlsson you shouldn't have signed an expensive cap hit so you could've been tradeable; Doug Wilson takes half the blame
The cap hit on Adin Hill seems pretty high for what hes accomplished in most* of his career, to me he should be around 3m tops.. And yes I know what he did with his chance in the playoffs. However 2 years is really smart and if he happens to not play as well as he did in the playoffs Vegas isnt stuck with him for very long
I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but sad news coming from England today as the Sheffield Steelers top prospect and star of the future Alex Graham has passed away at just 20 after signing his first pro deal only a few months ago 😢 Whole of GB ice hockey is in mourning.
I hope montreal wont trade for him and that overpriced 3line center gets flipped around the league
Backlund is underrated in Calgary. They'd lose alot moving him at the deadline. I really hope he gets the 'C'
Parody accounts still getting people smh
Through all the runours around the Flames, Backlund is the only guy being talked about that's spoken publicly since the changes in GM and coach, and that's encouraging. Doesn't mean he does stay, but it at least should calm some nerves.
Can't believe the Habs move on Dubois. Unless they get him for someone they are dumping and I don't see that working for Winnipeg.
I think you sign Dubois for 8 years for 8.5 million and you feel a lot like Nashville with Ryan Johansen after about three years.
Adin Hill is I think a mistake but he deserves a shot . Lehner is supposed to be coming back with Logan Thompson. Nobody is picking up quick. he's done. Brossoit might get moved.
Karlsson at $6.5 million might be worth having.
Calgary seems running towards a complete rebuild. Toffoli, Hanifin, Lindholm all looking to move.
Wow, Hill was on the verge of becoming an AHL journeyman goalie, had a strong playoff run, wins the cup, and more than doubles his salary. Good for him!
Smart for Vegas to cap to 2 years. High probability that Hill turns back into a pumpkin at midnight
Adin Hill might be a little underrated. He's never been a bonafide starter in the NHL but his career numbers look pretty solid. I don't think there's much risk for Vegas here
McDavid with the Triple Crown. Ross, Lindsay and Hart trophies.
I think Quick and Lehner are gone.
