Cgy offers Gaudreau $10M+ over 8 years and he's still gonna walk.
Maybe the collective moisture from the Flames' fans tears can help with the heatwave we're having in the city right now.
I'm glad Edmonton re-signed Kane, simply because of the rumors he'd end up in Cgy if they didn't. At least we had one good year of the BoA.

Good news is that, even with Campbell at 5x5, it's a cheaper tandem than Smith/Koskinen was last season, hahaha. Friggin' Oilers.

I hope, and assume, they will finally give Stuart Skinner a chance to play a decent amount of games.
Dude was probably their best goalie last season (in the handful of games he played) and carried Bakersfield a fair bit further into the playoffs than they deserved to go (in the AHL). Plus he has one of the best moustaches in the game. He's earned a full time backup spot, imo.

I see we believe in the same advanced metrics.

Stars acquire Mason Marchment for 4 years for $4.5 million. Hopefully the Stars can consistently generate offense on 2 lines in this upcoming season
|
Marchment seems like a bit of a gamble, but at least they didn't go Full Clarkson on the contract.

a little, but I think that many points at that age is usually a good sign even if he played on a powerhouse offense.
I'm stoked the Rangers got Trochek. He's great. Term blows, but if they don't win in the next 3 years, they're going to shed the older high end guys anyway so whatever. I feel like someone with his skillset always has some utility in the league and is always going to be tradeable.

Im sure Car would have rather had him then the old timers they picked up. Leaving cal was not totally shocking but going to clb for less then what otgers were offering was.
well unless he comes out and gives a reason, ppl thought he could've went back to home to NJ NY. but who knows, not everyone likes to play at home, there's a lot of shit that comes with that, maybe he didnt want to deal with it.
and he has (paywalled)

i dunno, to me personally, atmosphere is probably pretty low on the list in terms of picking a team.
