Also, this is not 100% on the NHL, this is also on building availability – most of these arenas are multi purpose and hold other regular events, too. Not defending the schedule, but that is just a reality.

oh I’m aware, and I understand the logistics must get very complicated at times, it just seems the league rarely gets this kind of thing right.

A better team for home opener would be ideal, but I do prefer watching more division games / conference games later in the season.

Makes the run to the playoffs more fun, at least, to me.

that’s kind of my point, I don’t find the league does a very good job at maintaining and/or creating rivalries, I’ll still watch every game but 82 was already plenty.

I get why they went to 84, to get a balanced schedule

2 x 16 from other conference
3 x 8 from other division in own conference
4 x 7 from own division

More games against teams in your own conference makes a lot more sense, and then division, even more.

Where this all breaks down for me is they want to add 2 more teams… and then we are back to the unbalanced schedule again.

bah, the habs’ home opener is against the Kraken, and they aren’t playing the Booins until the end of November, I doubt the league will start planning out things in a better way with even more games.

As reported before but now the NHL has started to put it together, the regular season will begin in late September for 2026-27 and Cup awarded mid June. Pre-season shortened and regular season extended to 84 games.

Wonder how this pans out.

82 regular season games was more than plenty imho, 84 is just getting ridiculous, teams were already struggling to stay healthy going into the playoffs.

Sources: The #NHL and #NHLPA have agreed to a rolling implementation schedule for CBA changes.

Among them: the new playoff salary cap system will come into effect *this season* for the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Good.

I kinda wanted the habs to take advantage of the loophole and pull a Doucherov of their own before the rule change lol

Oui mais il pourrait peut-être donner une liste de quelques équipes, ce serait surprenenant que soit mtl et nulle part ailleurs. Je le verrais très bien au Colorado, par exemple.

Même Crosby pourrait très bien de décider de jouer après 40 ans,rien ne dit qu’il va le faire. Patrick Roy avait encore du très bon hockey dans le corps quand il a arrêté et c’était bien avant d’avoir 40 ans.

Dans un tel scénario, je ne donnerais pas Hage dans cet échange. Le dude a beaucoup de potentiel.

ouin pour 2 ans seulement de Crosby je serais réticent aussi à échanger Hage c’est sûr.

PIT can’t ask for much more if Sid decides he wants to play in Mtl and nowhere else.
no way I give a top prospect like Reinbacher for 2 years of Sid, and Hughes wouldn’t either.

I was gonna say your offer is rather weak but it’s true that PIT doesn’t have a ton of leverage in that scenario.

La question demeure Pat, tu donnerais quoi pour Crosby, sachant que son contrat se termine dans deux ans?

mozusse de bonne question lol…

Crosby a 38 ans mais il a pas tant ralenti, il reste 2 ans à son contrat mais il lui reste sans doute un bon 3 ou 4 ans de bon hockey dans le corps.

Je donnerais pas Reinbacher, Hage ça me ferait mal mais je le considérerais peut-être.
