Someone from the Toronto Sun is saying Colin Miller is going to Toronto from Vegas. I don't know how reputable this source is.

Someone from the Sun also said something about Kessel and hot dogs

Lance Hornby is fairly reputable... I think?

Carrick + Griffith for Miller is the rumor to those wondering

An intriguing deal, but Miller's stat line should give one pause.

He's got extraordinarily high FF and CF, but those Zone starts are about as one sided as a one dimensional, defensively irresponsible winger.

What the hell, is Miller really that much of an upgrade? I love Carrick I've always thought he had more to show.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Oh my.

I think your misreading, he's saying Colin Miller is the 3rd player from the 2012 5th round that we would have acquired (if we get him), the others being Carrick and Griffith.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Nope he said and I think a lot of people misunderstood the tweet: Miller would be the 3rd player from the 2012 5th round that Toronto has delt for. I'm pretty sure that's what he meant

Possibly

It's a very poorly written tweet

 

[Yawnier]

Oh my.

Kyle Dubas wants his SSM kid

 

[Foggy]

Oh my.

If I could read that, I would be STEAMED!

Nobody should have that many boxcars and cutoffs!

 

[Socreges]

Are you really going to be this daft?

Apparently you don't know what daft means either 🤔

 

[ElephantShell]

Oh my.

Dopey translate!!

It basically says this:

His ice time was stable while maintaining equal bottom pairing QoC throughout the year and his CF, GF were attributed to the quality of play from people he was on the ice with and not directly attributed to him.

 

[Cake Boss]

Oh yeah NHL 18 reveal tonight as well.

 

[Cake Boss]

This is why we don't see any offer sheets.

The NHL needs more barn fights.

Eric Engels confirming that Emelin is going to Vegas

What LHD do the Habs have left besides Markov?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Someone slip Jimmy Murphy some sedatives, dude is going all out.

Eric Engels confirming that Emelin is going to Vegas

that pick also makes zero sense without a trade in place, like so many of these. I am REALLY curious to see what exactly is going on, because GMGM could be anything between genius and dim jim 2.0 depending on what picks/trades he secured to avoid picking the best players.

What about intangibles? Is he a team player?

Honestly yeah I can see there being several old school-ish GMs in the league who would overvalue the type of d-men that Emelin, Sbisa, and Methot are and try and get one or two of those guys

If there's one person I can count on to be catachrestical, it's you.

Markov.... Jerabek... um

Yeah we need to get a Left Handed Defenceman and I'm pretty sure Davidson isn't a lefty

The right hand side is good. It's fine where it is.

Vegas realized it needed 14 forwards from the expansion draft only yesterday. I'm going with Dim Jim 2.0.

Can confirm that Philipp Grubauer *was not* selected by the Vegas Golden Knights. Means it's likely that D Nate Schmidt is the pick.

It's over.

 

[Marvie_3]

Hmmmm looks like the NHL 18 cover does NOT feature a Maple Leaf.

A bit odd to feature them in aaaaall the advertising to this point and not throw them on the cover. I'll bet Crosby or Karlsson.

My money is on Toews.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

It's over.

Noodle

 

[Coldnoodle]

It's Crosby and or Malkin probably.

 

[Samyy]

Sounds like there are a queue of other trades to be announced at 8am when the roster freeze lifts tomorrow?

I thought Vegas was exempt from the freeze so I don't think they're necessarily Vegas trades?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Hasn't Crosby always refused to be on the NHL cover?

 

[Yawnier]

@TSNBobMcKenzie

BTW, as follow up to overnight tweet storm, both Jonathan Marchessault and Rielly Smith of FLA have been informed they're bound for VGK.

Cats won't have any forwards left

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I'll be in the corner setting myself on fire

 

[MetatronM]

It's over.

...Who the fuck are they taking as their third goaltender then?

 

[Cake Boss]

What's DALE doing?

 

[Coldnoodle]

Hasn't Crosby always refused to be on the NHL cover?

Yes, but maybe he changed his mind.

[ShinRPGamer]

will be a lot of trades so there will be supplemental players we don't know about

@JSportsnet

Griffen Reinhart is the Oiler going to the Desert. #ExpansionDraft

Expected that. Yet another trade that completely backfired done by the geniuses that is the Oilers management. He's your problem now Vegas.

 

[ElephantShell]

Apparently Vegas straight up picked Emelin, no side deal enticement.


Wtf.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Apparently Vegas straight up picked Emelin, no side deal enticement.


Wtf.

Probably because he only has one year left.

He'll help Shipa settle in the NHL too.

 

[Foggy]

Nothing makes sense today

 

[Yawnier]

I have a feeling we could find out the Cats made a weird Creeper trade tomorrow

 

[Socreges]

Oilers could have had Barzal and Aho. 😅

 

[Red_Man]

FYI regarding Vegas making Alexei Emelin its pick from Montreal, that's a clean transaction; Habs didn't have to entice VGK with a pick

this is hilarious and amazing

 

[calder]

We have to see the side deals soon because I legit think McPhee is the dumbest GM in hockey right now.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Oilers could have had Barzal and Aho. 😅

Yep. This deal somehow ended up being even worse than expected since the Oilers didn't even get anything from him.

 

[Cake Boss]

@TSNBobMcKenzie: I'm presuming FLA had to reduce its budget. In order to move Smith's contract, Marchessault had to be used as inducement. A $ deal IMO.

Wtf, imagine a Rielly Smith being a contract dump.
