I've been hearing a lot of this narrative being pushed lately. The Leafs pushing the Cup champs to 7 in round 1 is meaningless. Teams stack up to each other very differently and may be stronger/weaker as they progress through the playoffs.
you're Dubas and these 2 jacked dudes (bergevin and timmins) show up in your office, slap your ass and ask you for Marner, what do you do?
Canucks were 4-0-1 against the 2019 Stanley Cup Finalists
Please award us the Cup now
Hey now, the Rangers were 4-1 against them too, so you'll have to fight us for it. It'll be like old times.
Fire Benning:
Genuinely staggering stupidity, particularly after he began to shift the message to 'we need to get faster'.
You fucking idiot. Sutter, Gudbranson and Beagle all missed tons of games and they're not small players and you brought them on.
Genuinely staggering stupidity, particularly after he began to shift the message to 'we need to get faster'.
My level of resentment has definitely spiked already with you guys winning the lottery and getting Kakko.
Why is he even being traded? Jets just can't afford him and have a glut of RHD? Has he said he wants out?
Last year of his contract. Just pray we miss the playoffs.
He'll be pricey, but the Jets would certainly make room for him. He's wanted out for most of his career to various degrees, but the team has been very clear it would love nothing more than to sign him long term.
Trouba and his camp have been politely vague in public over the years about his thoughts about where he wants to go but he was pretty open a few years ago about not wanting to be stuck behind Byfuglien on the depth chart. It was also understood that he kinda wanted to go anyway and the contract/depth chart stuff, while true, was not really the main hold up. One of the rumors about his intentions that has been consistent since the beginning was that he definitely does not want to play in Canada and would strongly prefer either being near Michigan (where he's from) or Florida (where his girlfriend is from and where they live in the off season apparently). Also his gf is a health provider of some kind and wants to work in the US.
That's why I want the Jets to flip him to the Wings (who maybe don't really need him at this point in their rebuild but have the assets to make a trade?) or the Flyers.
Hmm.. that doesn't really help in a hypothetical trade to Toronto. Maybe he would change his mind since Michigan is really close to Toronto in terms of geographical distance.
I feel this has been long speculated since Dubas took over the GM job but this seems pretty reliable now that its coming from Friedman. Zaitsev doesn't hold a lot of value but based on the current crop of GMs, I feel like someone would take a stab at a 27-year old RHD.
EDIT: Looks like Zaitsev asked to be traded?

Basically, there is an option for a new women's hockey league if need be.
Good. It's May. Hold your ground, Jim. Boeser can't even be offer sheeted. No rush
I feel the same way. If they were close I'd be worried.
I'm actually disappointed but this makes a lot more sense
And is also very funny
Oof fake news. I even double checked to make sure lol.
We go to NWHL games a few times a year and they're always pretty fun. Hopefully they can figure all this out.
