Just me. I paid a little extra.

Okay Sam we get it. Don’t forget Georgiev even though he likely will never play again for us.

Lol okay. Get the starter in now :)

Jesus Christ fast. Do you not know how to lift a puck? My god.

Looks like a midnight beer league game out there

I love how they are waxing poetic about Trouba when 5 minutes ago he was turned around and blown past by Brock Nelson of all people lol

Wow. Kreids was going to come back that early if there was no pause. Beast.

Quinn always looks line he just snorted a line

Boychuck rocking the Messier haircut

Sloppy AF

It's the panned out camera. No idea why the hell they are using it.

It's 109 degrees outside and we are posting in a game day thread. Wild times lol

Alright, that’s better. Didn’t realize the first half was pre recorded

1. I’m not too fond of Panarin flying an airplane lol 2. Are they all really going to do the play by play and presage commentary from their man caves? Ugh

That’s fair. I was just throwing it out there and forgot the pick part. I was just figuring even if he topped out at a 50 point player, we have enough fire power as it is scoring wise and some important decisions up ahead where two years of his cap would be great. Hell, you can even make a case to say 28-29 really aren’t there years to “cash” in with today’s nhl. The trend in recent years has been to overpay a bit earlier in order to get their best years and hope the cap continually went up where it looks like a future bargain. Fine we can let arbitration decide what the 5th best offensive production is worth but we may not like it any more than what he asks for. If by some miracle we got him to agree to yet another show me deal, does that make him a ufa at the end or is he still rfa

Under 2.5 cap hit for two additional seasons, 6-3, big body, technically had a good scouting report Out of Europe, is only 23, center, technically on pace for a mid 40s point season. I’d expect more as well in terms of a pick or two, which seeing how trash the Devils are, would be a pretty good pick.

Lol ooo baby

Yeah I just don’t see ADA to Tampa as a viable option at all. You know what team does have room for him? Devils. Wonder how in love they are with Zacha since they are fairly deep in C with Hughes and Hischier......not that I wouldn’t vomit trading with the Devils but still lol

Well I don’t know what to tell ya, I don’t agree with you on this one. I just dont see Tampa wanting to commit more long term money on defense when they already have a Norris winner and McD there. Being side heavy is one thing. The play for them is to still dump an older offensive contract to keep their younger rfas, not have around 20m cap space tied up in 3 guys on defense.

I’m not so sure it saves them that much. ADA probably is looking for 6+ dude. Maybe a tiny bit less because of covid but we are talking about someone offensively with the 5th most points in the league at his position.

It’s just the math for me that makes it not work. Also, I’m not positive they need him regardless of his attitude . They likely re up Sergachev, already had McD and Hedman

This is going to feel weird lol

I don’t think Tampa could afford ADA on a swap for Cirelli and they really like him. I’d love him on this team and I think he’s a very very good two way player with plenty of offensive upside. Point for ADA doesn’t make much sense either considering you still have to re up a few guys on their end and ADA probably gets around 6m+ per. Unless they trade Tyler Johnson to a team with tons of cap and dangle a prospect in a cap dump type situation.

Lose the first round, buy out Hank and Staal, get the first overall, find a trade partner for Smith, use the cap savings to keep our roster intact, reap the benefits lol
