Don't post that silly stuff here.
Anyway, I think for me at least, the off-season will begin when Trade Deadline starts up.
OP
OP
Galchenyuk has already been called out by everyone three times over.
Not a peep from Bergevin or Clode about Drouin.
Some good ass entertainment here.

he just got here! golden boy also got a good year or two of good grace
Drouin does kinda suck tho
"Traffic in this city (Montreal) moves faster than Karl Alzner"
lmao
Only good thing to come out of these dark times are Tony's rants.
Marinaro is the only thing entertaining related to the Habs this year.
That's the situation that irks me the most. I was thinking don't trade a good D prospect. They're more valuable than you think. They do it so then I'm thinking I can be optimistic about Drouin. Then Drouin sucks and is obviously not an answer at center, and now what? Frustrating season.
A few random thoughts about the Oilers...
Disappointing season because of last year's playoff success, but it's not a complete disaster. They still should be considered rebuild mode and trying to build 2 good lines around McDavid and Draisaitl. Expectations were too high this year. Some players couldn't repeat last year's numbers and management has been frustrating.
The Eberle trade was a salary dump, but Strome is useless. He's not the only one who blew a great opportunity to play with Connor and scoring from the wingers is the Oilers greatest problem. The team is full of 4th liners. Khaira and Caggulia have hustle but they're never going to be much.
Get a RW sniper for McDavid and he's winning the Hart for a decade. Maybe that can be Puljujarvi. He's starting to grow out of that "Bambi on ice" awkwardness and show signs of why he was ranked so high.
Another positive is Darnell Nurse. Taking it slow with his development has paid off and he's definitely a keeper. Injuries to Klefbom and Sekera were a big factor for the Oilers D struggles this year. Talbot had an off year in goal but I'd stick with him.
Another positive is Nugent-Hopkins. Very consistent. I'd hate to see him go but he might be the only trade bait worth anything. Nobody is going to want the Lucic contract so other than picks, Nuge might be the one on the block.
I'm pretty down on coach McClellan. The team is horribly inconsistent and his line juggling just hasn't worked. The penalty kill is a complete joke. I have doubts that McClellan has any idea what he's doing.
So here we go again. Back to a disappointing season but they've got McDavid and Draisaitl locked up for 8 years so building the team around them will continue. Connor will always be worth the price of admission.

This is what I call the Doomsday Protocol
Just another defenceman for Bergevin to trade
