NHL 2020-2021 Season Discussion: The Battle for Covid Cup

Brian Burke to the Penguins.... I hate my life.

 

[R.I.P. KMS]

Anyone else tired of the Canadian teams only playing Canadian teams? I don't know how many more times I can watch a regular season match-up between Winnipeg and Calgary.

Jets keep winning so IDGAF

Better than Pierre, no?

Degrees of the same hell.

Degrees of the same hell.

True, but you probably don't have to worry about Burke sneaking into newly drafted players hotel rooms or homes.

Good point.

Anyone else seeing/reading NHL GMs are advocating for there to be no draft in 2021 and then there be two in 2022?

What a shit show if true but it kinda makes sense from multiple angles.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Leafs beating MTL with depth tonight was highly satisfying

I wonder how they'd do that, do one draft early in the year and then one at the usual time? It would be a nightmare to do two close in time without a chance to get a real evaluation of the players you drafted in the first one. Draft a highly ranked forward in the first one and go with a defense man in the second one only to find out your forward pick was a bust would fucking suck.

They just said on TSN it could be two drafts in the summer of 2022 or one in Dec 2021 then the 2nd in summer of 2022. So they are throwing out a couple of different scenarios

smh, wtf happened to Vlasic?

Who would want him with that contract?

trade him.

He's been cooked and no one is taking that deal. Sharks are in the worst situation in the league by far

Can’t believe I’m saying this but teams should be allowed to buy out 1 player per year without it counting against the cap
I understand that this would open the door for larger market teams to use this as a tool to circumvent the cap , but something needs to be done
If you have 1 jerkoff gm who signs 2-3 bad contracts your team can be in hell for years

Why are NHL games always blocked all the damn time?

Because you touch yourself

 

[Badger67]

Fucking Hextall. Hextall.

Leafs aquire Alex Galchenyuk from Carolina for 2 bags of shit
I’m not sure who won the trade
