Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

[JackBurton]

Ottawa does suck. And BTW being capped-out with 0 playoff games is not great.
I do think they'll fall short of the playoffs, and then the pressure will truly hit.

The best young cores don’t win cups anyway. The teams with the best young core 10 years ago maybe.

 

[Habsy]

Who has a better under 24 core than NJ? They have a wealth coming up. They will be scary soon.

 

[JackBurton]

Devils are fantastic.

As for Cap situation, the Sens are pretty much locked in while the Sabres have all sorts of work to do there, starting with Dahlin.

 

[Wayward DP]

I'm well aware that I'm hit and miss. I always show my work though.

I think she was talking to Jack...

 

[Wayward DP]

Sorry but when you pick the Blues to win the cup 10 months before they do, it is a fantastic pick. You left that one out.

yeah but does a .200 batting average make you fantastic? even if one of the hits was a dinger

So I take this as you'll put $ on Ottawa ahead of Buffalo this year?

It might, if you were playing the Vegas odds.

Dalton Varsho was fantastic yesterday.

 

[MindzEye]

The Sabres have 2 defencemen, right?

For this season? Yeah, probably.

Power might be a good top 4 defender this season (he wasn't last season, but was force fed minutes) and that would make 3. Dahlin was real gud in neutral usage, Samuelsson okay in extreme defensive usage.

I put them in the same category. They both have work to do to pass BOS or TB, but it's definitely possible.

Did Buffalo not get some weird hero goaltending from a senior citizen last year?

Yes

and he was their only functioning NHL level goaltender last season. He's left the NHL to try out the seniors pickleball circuit this season.

 

[JackBurton]

My Apologies, I was hacked.

that and smashing ass.

that and smashing ass.

The married dude? Who put himself on the shelf slicing frozen chicken-breast in his kitchen?

 

[enbridge]

2017 picture, surprised at how small Bobby Orr looks compared to Mario and even Wayne

[GEEMAN]

Imo NJ has a better D prospect pool. More offensive.

Buffalo is immediately disqualified because of Tage fucking Thompson.

Need Hughes and Nemec to be top pair D
