He was drafted as a 21 year old? Interesting
I've been pretty consistently against going after Shattenkirk and have been talking about them rebooting the defense with youth for probably a couple of months now, since the Rangers starting signing their latest batch of NCAA free agents in March. 💩

But what are they supposed to do? Not as if they can somehow unload that burden? Unless...hmm...unless the Jets...would they be willing to take Chabot off their hands? 🤔
When you think about it, having him and Karlsson on the same team is kind of a waste huh? I feel like if you already have a Karlsson having a second baby one is just indulgent.
Lol

The draft can't come soon enough. 😔

Have you seen our 2nd pairing? We need him to carry Phagoof until his contract runs out lol.
The team is set up beautifully, Norrisson for 30 minutes and Chabotsson for the other 30min.
I am bizarrely excited for the off season this year. The entry draft may end up being more intriguing than normal even with some slightly lesser talent at the top because of the expansion draft. Free agency is going to be extra nuts because teams have to wait to do even simple resignings (to avoid having to protect guys) and the roster moves Vegas will be doing should be unique.
Blue Shirt Banter has an interesting article on what the Knights might do and how, and it might be nuts depending on how aggressive they want to be.
That third possibility has me hyperventilating. Steal us a LHD Vegas and we'll toss you a couple of 2nds!
Tragically, I would.
He'd be a upgrade on our third pair for sure.CreeperBlocks

Ideally I'd probably trade Beaulieu for a younger forward or in a bigger package trade
Brooksie's hottest take yet: not enough Type-A personalities.

I particularly love this little gem:
But I guess that doesn't really fit the narrative, huh?

I particularly love this little gem:
I actually do happen to remember that game, thank you very much, and I have to ask Brooks if perhaps it is he who has forgotten the Game 7 shutdown defeat to the Lightning in the 2015 conference finals, because the team came out absolutely flying in that game and dominated the fuck out of the first period. They just couldn't get one by Bishop, and that allowed the Lightning to claw back into the game and eventually take it over on their way to a 2-0 win. Basically the exact opposite of what happened in Game 6 against Ottawa, a game in which they actually did come out flat but then tried to mount a late charge that fell short.
But I guess that doesn't really fit the narrative, huh?
Can't wait to see Kypreos call out Kuznetsov for not mourning enough.
I wonder if Washington needed something awful done to them to really galvanize them. Detroit only won it all after Lemiuex turned Draper's face into mush and they lost to the Avs in the 1996 Conference Finals. Yzerman was the ripe old age of 32 when he finally lifted the Cup.

Hope for the Stars sake Bishop doesn't break down in a year or two. He gets some freak injury like every year.

Ottawa is very good drafting D with mid-teen draft picks. Karlsson 15th overall and Chabot 18th overall.
Hope the Leafs can do the same with their 17th overall this year.

Ovechkin to Habs (E5)
You sound salty. Are people not supposed to speak positively of any prospect in junior then?
I'm always salty
I don't know how this happened but every time I share an image on Google Hangouts from the Twitter app I use, the preview image that shows up before I send it is always Marner and Matthews holding baby Laine. The actual image shared is the one I want to send originally.
This glitch doesn't need to be fixed.

Las Vegas should trade for Ovi and Kovalchuk, along with Shipyachov already there and Dadanov likely coming... Should just go all in on Russians and say fuck it.
They would be a team to make it work. And they would get butts in seats with that group.

Dibs on the other one for a Seabrook trade/buyout.

Lehtonen/Niemi is all yours Vegas.
I suggested the same but with Eriksson, except Dallas would have to WANT one of these contracts. Otherwise they're better off just eating the one year left on the goalie contracts.
If that happens hopefully Marek is there to do his "poopy pants" bit where he mocks Hockey Culture for forcing guys to act like their dog died every time they lose a random game in mid January.
Whenever a team gets eliminated and you see the losing team looking bummed I *always* think of one of my all time favourite gifs:
"Shit, we lost this. I hate losing."
".... otoh, I am a young multimillionaire and my vacation starts tomorrow. Maybe I should book a trip to that beach resort in Polynesia that everyone always raves about for 20k a night."
