No, not really. I think the hawks are leaning frondell.

Yeah, tough pick between him and Misa, there are no losers on that count.

I think Frondell will be the better center, not sure if they are trying to do like the Oilers, have two top centers or if they want to overload with Bedard where Misa might look pretty good.

Here is McKenzie’s Final Draft Ranking.

I don’t think there are any surprises.

Some big guys in the Habs pick range, if they keep them, still think they will go with one safe/BPA pick and one swing-for-the-fences kinda pick.

They have 36 million in cap space… there was lots of room to sign Marner to a crazy stupid amount of money deal without moving Zegras.

Based on the return, they just wanted him gone.

ty, friend.

i really only know his name. never knew much about him.

Likely a decent chance this turns out ok to good, and if not, only cost for Poehling, a 2nd and a 4th.

So not terrible.

Kick asked:

is he bad? i don’t watch their games since they stole the color orange.

Was a highly rated prospect (9th pick, 2019) that had a few decent years (65-ish points), but has been mostly injury plagued that last few seasons, and when healthy, has not shown much improvement.

His weakness is his defensive play and is terrible in face-offs.

Maybe if he is fully recovered, and in a new place, he can bounce back.

and in other news, Zegras to PHI for Poehling, a 2nd and a 4th

Shockingly low return.

Thought this was a joke at first….

I am glad the Habs stayed away from him, regardless.

they’re only one dollar bets!

But you have won like a million of them!

Fido stated:

in that case Matheson is probably gone

On some level, I would not be surprised if he was traded.

But the Habs already have a hole on defense and I do not think Reinbackher / Mailloux is the answer right now.

Will be interesting to see.

they charge so much more for packing it too that i just packed it all into boxes myself. i didn’t have much anyway because i knew it was silly to buy too much until i got back to my house.

With all that sport bet money winnings, come on, that is nothing to you!

Been reading about potential trade targets, and it looks like this is a seller’s market (and most sellers want established players back, not picks or prospects).

EE has an interesting piece on this today

Cannot wait to see what (or if) HuGo can get anything done in the next few days.
