Yeah it seems Radulov has got his partying ways out of him, there was no questioning his skill. He was a bit unprofessional in his younger days

Guiranov is another example of why the 2015 draft will go down as one of the best draft classes of all time

Great draft. Every first rounder with at least 2 NHL games played. (Still not sure what Boston was doing with 13/14/15)

Beauties found in every round. Aho in the 2nd, Cirelli in the 3rd... even guys like Nutivaara and Niku in the 7th.
Heavy is the Tarp... :cry:

Good. That was a garbage hit. Hopefully he gets a few games.

Reaves is an idiot. I liked it when he was on the ice. We were a better team when he was on the ice. Those types of players don’t matter anymore.

Its crazy, but I think they could? Allen only has one more year, maybe they try to sell him at the deadline?

There's not many teams who could take on Price's contract, even if he were to waive - Colorado is a big one, maybe Anaheim.
Will history repeat itself? Montreal trades their starting goaltender to Colorado and he turns around and backstops them to a Stanley Cup?
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

Yup. Has zero impact on the games except his obvious attempts to injure players.

4 years + in the minors, 11 mostly in the bigs. 48 assists / 48 goals. Main role? Shit disturber and antagonist.. Mental status? ---------Image
Should the league have a minimum level one must achieve?

You know a team is in the dumper when signing Adam Cracknell merits an organizational announcement.

Can hardly wait for the ticker-tape parade after the leaves re-sign Josh Leivo.

Lebrun says Bill Daly admits the 2020-21 season probably wont start until January.

Which of course would make it the 2021-21 season. :drink:

Still insists it will be an 82-game season though.

Says they will not play a bubble season.

Dreger says a bunch of teams will have internal caps next season in the low 70s.

Wouldn't it make sense to start the season in 4 bubbles (one for each division)?

Play all those inter-division games and hope there's a vaccine by then?

Anyhoo, expect playoff hockey next summer as well...
