It's not the off-season any more, but... I really think Chicago wins this trade (unfortunately)... Strome could end up being a bust, but I think there's still a ton of potential there, and he's still only 21. To get Perlini as well, is a big win in my opinion. I thought Chayka was going to be a good GM, but he's made some really questionable trades so far in his tenure. Shipping out Duclair, Domi and now Strome / Perlini in short order... Not good. It's fun to see GM's being active (trigger happy), but I'm glad our GM is a little more patient (trigger shy)...

Drummondville vs Halifax this afternoon, and Veleno had a goal and two assists and McIsaac had a goal and an assist. Veleno is now 5th in the league in points with 38 (17 goals, 21 assists) in 23 games and 4th in points per game with 1.65 PPG. McIsaac is now 8th in the league in points for defensemen with 18 (6 goals, 12 assists) in 17 games and 4th in points per game with 1.06 PPG.

Veleno with a big 6 point (3 goals, 3 assists) night, in a 7-1 win vs Moncton tonight. He now has 35 points (16 goals, 19 assists) through 22 games.

Yes, it's from Vegas (Tatar trade), but it's the Islanders pick.

I was really hoping we'd draft Bode Wilde with one of our two 2nd rounders. I'm loving the McIsaac pick, and maybe Berggren turns out to be a stud, but looking at what Wilde has done early on this season, I'd make that trade (Berggren for Wilde) in a heart beat. We need some blue chip defense prospects, and Wilde is looking like he could be just that. Big, right-handed, smooth-skating, two-way defenseman, that is solid in all three zone. 5 goals, 15 assists through 17 games with Saginaw of the OHL. He scored this beauty last night in OT...

Best take ever.

I want Jack Hughes. Nah. Kid is going to be a #stud.

Should have drafted my boy Evan Bouchard... Cholowski - Bouchard would have been a nice top pair in a couple years time...

Taking the frankgrimes approach, I see...

Buppy, cherry pick? Never...

Case in point.

Is anything you say "real"? You have some of the worst takes on here...

You're dumb.

A player I've been advocating trading for... Cool.

Sure. He has been better, but still not worthy of that spot on the top line in my opinion. I was okay with Helm up there because he's actually a good forechecker and can create chances. Abdelkader shouldn't be anywhere near the top six in my opinion. He should be a staple on Glendening's wing on the 4th line. I would much rather see any of Nyquist, Vanek, Athanasiou, Bertuzzi, Rasmussen on that top line with Larkin and Mantha.

Same... This would be the absolute worst...

... no.

NO!

Looks like Abdelkader is on the top line with Larkin and Mantha...

Best. Player. Available.

No one. Blashill said they won't call anyone up, because Vanek should be ready to go on Wednesday (or Friday at the latest), and we have enough healthy bodies without a call-up. That being said, the next call-up would probably be Terry or Puempel...
