Like yourself, I'm hoping that their D prospects develop quickly and into competent NHLers so that we don't have to seek trade options to get our back end solidified.

I would also keep Kadri. He fits in well with that team and also plays his role very well.

Montreal = hockey capital

Toronto = um, not so much

It's okay...coming to grips with this is your first step in recovery.

And woman's team...WTF you talking out of your arse for Canada didn't win the last go around, last I saw it was Phil Kessel's sister that sent yinz home crying and some Canada crying bitch threw her silver medal in the stands like a whiney POS.

You really know nothing do you? Just cuz the Habs have the most Cups doesn't make it the hockey capital of the world. Anybody who knows anything about hockey knows it's Toronto. You know, the place where more NHL players come from compared to anywhere else. Find me a place that breeds more players. Good luck with that. And I wasn't referring to your women's team. Learn how to read. And BTW it was sarcasm.

All bow to the hockey hotbed of Toronto.

Nobody else on earth should even hold a stick

We're not worthy

As for reading...I go a couple sentences in and make up the rest. Got me this far in life Hard to read sarcasm anyway

[sspade]

Childrennnnn!


Ps. When do we start a new thread for 2018/2019 season? Just wondering... first time around the horn for me...

JGOENS job...guess around September when camps start rolling. I've got no pictures to start the year, some bum from Washington better post something cool. Mine was from the Great Wall and with the cup. One of them fans needs to beat it with something better.

Possibly someone who was in Vegas on that fateful night?!

We could only be so lucky... but then again, if one auto manufacturer was well represented at this event - we who have as good of chance as any, no!?!?

looks like that core will stay in tact. Dubas just said in an interview he will be signing all 3

I also saw that interview as well.

Good news...now to see how he does it!

[Ralph335]

I need some popcorn. This got GOOD in here.

The next season will for sure be interesting. Lots of teams got way better.

only way I see Dubas doing this is trading Kadri as they have too much depth at Center and paying a checking center that kind of money is alot and getting rid of marleau, hortons and lupuls contract. If he can do that, hes got tons of cap space to sign marner and auston next year and then give the young D a chance to play.

I don't know if Horton's contract or Lupul's will even be affecting the team next season. Once the season hits, they go on LTIR and our cap hit is mitigated, but it does impede what we can do during the off-season.

Kadri would be a logical trade choice, and I'm sure there would be a lot of interest, but you're right, Babcock will need a solid replacement option before he even lets Dubas and co. entertain the thought of packaging him in a trade...even if it does land them that coveted top-2 d-man.

Yeah, we're in off-season now..but apparently pretty heated around here. Yeah, we start up again right before the season starts. You guys feel free to continue the banter all summer--maybe we will have a more lively discussion when the season actually starts.

Weber out 5-6 months.

Montreal's looking like they plan to join the Islanders in a race to the bottom. Yikes. I feel for Carey Price.

Carey Price is laughing all the way to the bank with his $10M contract.

Right? What a terrible deal. He's a great goalie, but that contract, along with the PK for Weber trade signaled a downhill trend in the Habs organization. Hopefully they figure it out soon, because as much as I despise them, I'd like to see them be competitive at the very least.

Heard Karlsson is headed to Tampa Bay as part of a blockbuster, three way deal.

If true, damn. They'd need to give up something decent though...like a Hedman?

Dallas was unwilling to part with Miro Heiskanen...looks like they are out.

Brayden Point would be my first target if I was the Sens. Doubt they'd give Hedman up, as I'm sure they'd want to pair those two together on the PP.

Tampa's trying to pull on the Leafs what the GSW pulled on LeBron when he left to join the Lakers
