Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

[CH1]

Kraken owe us now

 

[GEEMAN]

We passed on Tolvanen. He’s now a Kraken.

Did we have the option to nab him first

 

[Habsy]

Yes

 

[Krustchev]

The lowest ranked team that put in a claim gets him.

 

[Krustchev]

Wow. Surprising.

He's only 5'10' and not a great skater.

Yup , after years of going nowhere.......time for a change

I think if we had fewer smaller forwards on our team we would have submitted a claim.

 

[Habsy]

It's a free asset that you polish up and flip later.

Speaking of Nashville....former Hab Mike McCarron has entered the players assistance program Predators forward Michael McCarron enters assistance program (msn.com)

Hope he gets the help he needs.

But he's big and physical kinda so yeah of course it's good

It's good for meatheads. How's that?

I get that Tolvanen was a hot prospect but if he had any value you’d figure the Preds could have dealt him for a 5th rounder

Just checked that draft year. We picked Poehling in the first round at #25, while I favoured Tolvannen followed by Klim Kostin for the pick among those still available. They went at #30 and #31.

It appears to this point, it didn't matter a row of beans among the three. Still time for one or all to become somewhat relevant I guess.

Jason Robertson like Aho in 2015 would’ve been nice

Yes, I had an asterisk by his name too as possible first rounder for us. But according to my notes, I favoured the other two.

Everyone was wrong, the GMs ,me.....well at least I had the asterisk, which I didn't have besides Poehling's name. . Doubt Timmins even got the asterisk right.

 

[GGpX]

Hoh boy, all those folks who kept telling me that the Cap was going to go up by $3-$4M+ next season sure are going to be super happy with this as they try to find new and stupider excuses to explain the shitty spending habits of their favorite teams.

[Alan C]

Ha ha! Get a better agent and find a desperate gm. THen you can be an overpaid underachiever too Jordan.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

I will never understand the love people here in Edmonton have for Nurse like he's some kind of untouchable. He's pretty invisible on a lot of nights and rarely does anything to make you think he's something special. He gets paid like he is, but you rarely see it.

Nurse is probably still their best D, of which his agent took full advantage.
