Oh really? I’m not watching the game. I just read a live report on a swedish site that said he scored and I rushed over here to spread the news

How is Norritz Seider lookning tonight? Heard he was paired with ex Devil Eric Gelinas.

Berggren scores again.

Republican vs Democrat divisions?

Since its all about Covid how do you split the teams? By region? On how well the city/state handled the outbreak?

So with a Canadian division, what would the US divisions look like?

I can see a lot of players that had NHL jobs last season to only get a PTO this year.

And I am shocked. Shocked I tell you.

If he is to sell he probably would want to do it before he has to start to pay his young stars. Better get the ball running.

Didn't look at it that way, thought it was just regular delusion, but this could be him selling.

Sounds fair. If Ryan and and Namestnikov proves to be hits he gets a B from me. If he swings a trade that gets us top prospect and/or a high pick he could get an A.

“I truly believe that we are a Stanley Cup winner within four years, it can happen any time, but within four years.” - Eugene Melnyk That's an actual quote...

You say he did fine and I say he did good. It appears we are in agreement.

What those executives said seems to be in line with what most of us on this board thinks. Would we have wanted to add more assets for the future? Sure, but those kind of deals haven't happened yet so we are not missing out so far. The offseason is far from over I think and the rest of the league know by now that Detroit is open for business. The only deal I m a y b e would have wanted Detroit to be the ones to make is the 5th for Ryan Murray by NJD.

Ehn confirmed for lacking C H A R A C T E R.

The Athletic interviewed some (anonymous) exec's around the league about each teams offseason so far: Execs Unfiltered: Thoughts on Hall, trades and every NHL team’s offseason so far Here what they had to say about Detroit: Detroit Red Wings The work turned in by GM Steve Yzerman and his staff was praised across the board. “I like Detroit’s signings but they’re not going to amount to Detroit winning the Stanley Cup,” said one. “I think those guys are good value for those price tags.” Yzerman spent some time in the bargain bin and turned up very reasonable deals for Bobby Ryan, Vladislav Namestnikov and Troy Stecher. He paid a bit of a premium in a competitive goalie market for Thomas Greiss (two years at $3.6 million per) but the Red Wings should be much more competitive because of it. “To be honest, the Red Wings have done a good job,” said another executive. “They’ll be somewhat competitive. They brought in character and leadership. Stevie Y does a great job.” “Detroit had a good offseason,” said a Western Conference exec. “Namestnikov for $2 million. Bobby Ryan for $1 million. It fits exactly what they’re doing. They’re not going long term with anybody. They’ve got some good, cheap players who will improve their team right away. They’ve got a couple more D. They got more assets for the deadline. They’re movable contracts.” Multiple execs brought up the character element. All the players signed seem to be oozing in character. “Stevie is very deliberate who he puts around his team,” said one. “If a player is not a culture guy or does not serve a specific purpose, they get shipped out pretty quick. I like Namestnikov. Bobby Ryan is fine. I like Stecher. I like Greiss. Those guys are pretty good.”

Bertuzzi scheduled for arbitration on the 25th day of October.

a nihilist centrist

What an idiot he is for choosing to represent himself this offseason.

He is a centrist.

A good rule is to not feed the trolls if you find them annoying.

Sure, but it tells us a deal probably isn't/wasn't close. I looked over the standings again. If you go by PTS instead of P% the Islanders are not a playoff team at all.

A problem is Lou will never dish out a 1st. That could very well be a lottery pick in the next draft or the one in 2022. Isles made it to a playoff spot last season but that was only because the atlantic sucked so hard. They ended up only fifth in their division.

I posted this in the deleted thread too. Considering its 2x6 I agree, a 2nd is not enough.

I'm hoping they mean Zadina is the baby cuz that makes it even funnier!
