Good thanks, nothing new really.
Looking forward to the draft tomorrow night and what wheeling and dealing GM’s are going to do over the weekend.

PS: That quoting button works half of the time … frustrating as hell. ????

If you have more than 2 quotes in it, it does not work.

Habs trade for Dobson yet?

that would be sweet, but 1-why would Darche want to do this, and 2-who are you giving in return?

Yeah, their top 2 could be a force for a decade+.

Seems silly to trade him.

I could see HuGo taking a flyer on Wang (giggles) with one of those picks.

6 foot 6, 222lbs, that’s a big Wang.

I think there is a good chance the Habs pick him in the 2nd round.

Would cement HuGo’s BDE.

Watching the Gorton presser:

1) He said this is a big weekend for us, a big summer for us, but we are not going to do anything stupid
2) With the cap going up, most teams have a very different approach this summer with the extra cap space, discussions / deals are very different looking
3) Going to continue to build on the team so that is it strong for many years, that has not changed
4) They are weary of making a trade / change for a player that may not fit their long-term plans or not be a good fit in the locker room

Setting some good expectations.

A short man on a tree stump says through the crowd:

it’s odd because I keep hearing how it isn’t a very deep draft, and yet the descriptions I’m reading about the players in the projected top 20 all sound very promising

I think there are a lot of (potential) middle 6 forwards, but few top end ones.

After the top 2 or 3, it could be a crazy draft.

Hearing Nikolaj Ehlers has informed the Jets he will go to free agency on July 1

Door not closed on Manitoba, but will test the market

A mildly grumpy old man not yelling at kids to get off his lawn said:

he was on the same team as likely blackhawk choice frondell. i mean, if someone with the name mans goos says a guy is the goods, you have to believe it

I keep seeing lots of mock drafts with Frondel #2.

Not sure if they are just trying to get clicks / traction or something, but seems interesting.

we’ll see I guess, the league gets this kind of thing wrong more often than not imho lol.

I was pretty frustrated with so many days between some playoff games – often 3 days (not between series, between games).

I get there are scheduling conflicts and the like, but that seems to add a lot of time to this year’s schedule.

Noticed it more this year than previous playoffs.

I highly doubt they’ll start that early, I could be wrong but they’ll probably start it early enough just to incorporate the extra games, the league has been very stubborn about this.

They already said max 4 pre-season games and season to start in September…. how late in September TBD.

I don’t think they want the season to end as late/later than this year.

@Mash

if they’re starting the season earlier and they’re adding games, then the cup won’t be won much earlier… lol

If you are starting 2-3 weeks earlier and add 2 games, the season will be longer in duration, but will not be extended further into the summer…

(Unless they add stupid pre-playoff play-in games).
