and he's almost 28, hasn't played a game for them yet...glad the canucks aren't paying that contract (instead they're paying a bunch of other terrible ones)

Am not surprised, I think Lou doesn’t make that trade without knowing the extension is happening. Isles have needed a pure goal scorer since Tavares left, hopefully this is it. Is it too much? Maybe, but I don’t think he goes anywhere else for much cheaper.

appreciating the top five
Since October, The Athletic has been counting down the top 100 NHL players of the post-expansion era.No. 1 was never in doubt.This is the #NHL99 ⤵️ pic.twitter.com/UNFrDhVVKl— The Athletic (@TheAthletic) February 10, 2023

Props for putting Mike Bossy that high. If his career wasn't cut short, he had a very strong chance to be the all-time leader in goals.
McDavid needs a ring but could join that top 5 by the time his career is over.

no rocket because it's only since expansion

can't really speak to yzerman vs sakic but i am comfortable with lidstrom as the second-greatest defenseman

maybe Thornton put up solid numbers but I never thought he was truly one of the greats. and i used to watch lots of Sharks games when living in sf. i think Forsberg was better than Sakic, too

Been thinking about it a bit and although I don't know very much about cap management in today's NHL, I am happy the Wings re-signed Dylan Larkin and ambivalent about their follow-on trades. Larkin is local and I think there is something worthwhile in having a hometown hero.

feel like a lot of the last minute trades are barely going to move the needle for each teamI don’t know if Toronto adding like 5 people to a team that was already going to the playoffs is great for chemistry though? I know they are desperate to win a playoff series for once
― Michael F Gill, Saturday, 4 March 2023 01:26 (one year ago) link
actually feel bad for toronto
they can trade for whomever they want but they're basically locked into facing tampa in the first round, and if vasilevskiy chooses to be godlike, it won't matter
and if they survive that, then boston. and then carolina or new jersey. the east is a killing field

bruins 33-0-3 when scoring first

uh tampa has four shots on goal through two periods in carolina
and they were all in the first

Rangers and bolts have been pretty bad lately, almost bad enough that you start to think the East wild card race may get even more crowded.
