Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

[Krustchev]

Gonna be a very long next decade in Pittsburgh. Good.

 

[Krustchev]

Fucking Panthers are winning again tonight.

They’re a talented team.

Fucking Panthers are winning again tonight.

Sure starting to look as if HuGo will be dealing that mid-late teens pick as part of a package for PLD

 

[lecoqsportif]

They’re a talented team.

And they got hot just in the nick of time. I think they might just squeeze into the POs and then cause a lot of trouble.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Ullmark was average in Buffalo. May have needed a change of scenery/fresh start elsewhere. He just lucked out where he ended up. No one thought they would be this good again.

He had good numbers in Buffalo given the state of that team.

Hard to feel bad for them. Those contracts they gave out to Malkin & Letang were fucking egregious. They still have most of their top draft picks, but they don't have much coming in the pipeline.

I read a few weeks ago that there were grumblings about the new ownership (Fenway Sports Group) and their mentality towards the organization.

I get the feeling Pittsburgh's going to go the same way as Philly. Deny the need to rebuild, keep on pushing the chips for the now and then one day, they'll wake up with 5 years of shit in front of them and no real end in sight.

Sounds lovely.

Their predicament…. You can’t rebuild as long as Crosby’s there, he saved the franchise in that city & Sid isn’t getting traded, he’s going to retire a Penguin

LA, Chicago and Pittsburgh all did the same thing. LA hit the wall first so they were able to accelerate their rebuild a bit faster.

You can but . . . they won’t.

Florida wins, Ottawa wins, San Jose loses in OT.

Better than nothing, I guess.

Yup , the inevitable “ team has gone as far as it can go “ has hit them

Do they have the stones to move Geno and LeTang in a reboot

Caps , Pens and others are done

Exactly like Philly and Nero , kick the fucken can down the road

That 5 years maybe more, they have zilch to move forward with

They need to hit the skids fast and have lottery luck

#18 according to Tankathon.

Who is available that fits the Habs rebuild timeline

Need to find that 21-23 year old that needs a change of scenery , just like the Caps got Sandin

Provorov or other expensive flops are a waste

 

[GEEMAN]

#18 according to Tankathon.

Good players still available

 

[Habsy]

I move any pick after 12 for PLD.

That's a no brainer.

Peg will need NHL ready bodies IMO

They'll likely win any lottery they are involved in. Luck has favoured them when superstars are up for grabs in the draft.
