Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

If the NHL ever expands again, and I think it's just a question of when more so than if, they'll be going to Houston.

However, after Houston, there aren't many options for west coast teams. There's Kansas City and Portland, but that's about it.

The problem with Quebec, unfortunately, is that there's a few more options in the east. Milwaukee, one of Indianapolis/Cleveland/Cincinnati, a second Toronto team, maybe even re-visit Atlanta. I think all of those places would come before Quebec.

Bettman will never countenance another Canadian team. He'll put a team in Mexico City or Johannesburg before he'll let Quebec or any other Canadian market in.

Detroit can be moved to the west again.

And if St-Louis can reside in the west, so can Milwaukee and Indianapolis

Detroit will not agree to move west again.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Maybe Van can win a few now..

 

[hairnova]

^ Up 3-1 on the Stars after 20.

 

[hairnova]

Dadonov scores to make it 3-2. Of course.

 

[hairnova]

McDavid gets #50.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Dadonov scores to make it 3-2. Of course.

He did play for DeBoer in Fla & Vegas..

4-3 Van after 2 periods

 

[hairnova]

Canucks win 5-4 in OT.

 

[hairnova]

Ducks currently lead the Blackhawks 2-1 in the second period.

Hopefully another OT game.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Ana win 4-2

 

[Rolex]

Bedard must be hoping for Ducks to finish last…

With the draft lottery, he’s got two shots at ending up in California….versus Ohio or Illinois

These kids don’t care.

These kids don’t care.

They obviously have preferences... but I'm sure 99% will be happy no matter what.

Some will hope to end up in a warm place, some might prefer an original 6 team like Montreal or Chicago. Some might even look at prospect pipelines to see how bright the future might be with each team.

But yeah, the Lemieuxs and Lindros' are rare.

Total joke if Bedard lands in Zona

I think at that age -18 - ninety nine percent are just happy to be in the NHL . . . anywhere. It’s once they’re in their mid-20’s that most start to think about where they want to set up shop more permanently.

Imagine Bedard and Cooley as your top two centers . . . Almost unstoppable, at least in theory.

 

[Habsy]

If we don't get him then I hope he does land out west really. Just not Chicago for me.

sure they do, remember how choked McNumbnuts looked when Edmonton won the lottery?

 

[Krustchev]

It was there or Buffalo so lose-lose. But lots of former Sabres still live in Buffalo which is why I maintain that most don’t care.

That is just how he looks. Always.
