Hell no on jamie benn, hate his dirty game, whiney game. Old, slow, ineffective. Tavares tho gimmie
Boeser played 75 games in 2024-25
Too bad! Billy will likely get a different slow-den Oldie Granlund! Billy hated little guys but he'd love Granlund on the same justifications on Johansson. I want a certified guarantee he will never see 2nd line!!! Billy is not running on a great history. We were the 3rd oldest last year, don't forget that! BTW Necas is the only guy I would be ok chasing. There arent other Right shot Centers available with size 6'2" 210lbs. It has been said he isn't all that happy in Colorado.
Jamie Benn is a f'ing POS. I'll pass.
For the love of God keep Rossi.
Dont think either one is the golden goose…Benn is Moose 2.0…Tavares is a guy I would like if we were a piece or 2 away for a run…Were not there…I believe we are really far away… Playoffs are about being able to survive as well as excellence.. Do I think Spurgeon or Middleton and Unfortunately Brodin could survive being run out of the rink to the finals..Gus when on…??? Gus when off??? Pretty disheartening
Edited to add my PWHL thoughts: If Vancouver doesn't win it all, I'll be shocked. Well done by their GM. But…WTH was the Frost doing? Protecting Curl, a constant liability on the ice and someone no one was going to take, over McQuigge or any blue liner. As I type this the Frost have lost 8 players. Cava leaving, I'm not surprised cause I believe her and Greco are together. I'll miss her though. Natalie wouldn't have allowed this to happe. I'm so angry but at least we got our goalie duo.
The title of this episode made me scream NO out loud. There are zero arguments that could convince me to want Captain of the Diving Team on the Wild.
I love Brock and would love to have him here to watch him in person more but I wouldn't want to subject him to the fan base and their irrational expectations.
Now Toews, I'd take him in a heartbeat.
It's already a joke – the Minnesota Wild has been trying to find a center… for the last 5 years. 🤣
Yes the Stars window is closed. Having Rantanen, Hintz, Johnston, Duchene, Heiskanen, Lindell, Oettinger, and DeSmith locked up long term is apparently a “closed window.” Robertson will re-sign next year. This year they are certainly pressed against the cap. The cap will also be swelling to 113m in 2 years. This pod is all emotion, no rationality.
Benn!? Wrong!!!
What's up with the new pillows in the background Kirsten?
Nobody wants Benn here!
Try a trade with Anaheim for Terry and MacTavish!
The WPHL has lost me as a fan. The politics of the league the last 2 seasons has been unreal and they are finally getting a Canadian team winning it all, which they have wanted from the beginning.
I like Alex Tuch but I think Guerin will sign Brazeau and Nyquist. Does Guerin have a scout and most important does he use him. Dumba is the reason we don't have Tuch
Brock B is getting 7$M AAV minimum. That’s what it will take to get him in MN. I’m guessing he’s getting 5 years at $7.5. Tnx. for the well informed hockey talk!
BG totally screwed the pooch… with lots of things including Rossi. I don't see trade options for BG where he makes the team better by trading Rossi. They aren't getting JJ as the Hawks have offered the 3rd overall pick in this years draft…. I think all those Buffalo dreams are dead. Sign Rossi for 6.75-7m x3 and then add Boeser or Ehlers for 8-8.5m and that's your cap for the year. Then sign Kap (cause you are showing him you are serious about winning now) and go get another stud next year with the 8m-ish cap space we'd have.
For the love of God…We need you, here, in Las Vegas. I would start a Go-Fund-Me to get you here.
