  1. PIT is way too old to be considered a threat in playoffs. They will all be too tired and injured long before they get there. They literally have 0 top six forwards under 30 and 1 good defense under 33. So glad TO did not do something so stupid as to get Karlsson. Nice to see Dubas screwing over another team other then TO lol.

  2. According to Eric Engels, the Habs are working on a Petry trade. Getting PIT to retain 25% is nice because if MTL trades him they can retain 50% and Petry will then cost $2.34M over the next two seasons. I also think that the addition of DeSmith means the end for Allen in MTL. Also with Hoffman and Pitlick now gone, it opens up roster spots for more young forwards like Farrell and company to get more playing time.

  3. Hand over the month in thumbnail says it all. I think this will burst the dam on the trade market now finally Erik Karlsson is being traded. All three teams did well.

  4. Dubas is an excellent GM. Toronto is so stupid to fire him! I'll bet the Leafs lose in the first round this year.

  5. Leafs are done! Thanks Dubas. Crosby-Malkin-Letang-Karlsson. Better than Matthews-Marner-Nylander-Tavaras. Leafs window is officially closed! More big trade’s please! Dog dayz of summer blockbuster

  6. Pens are younger after trading four dead weight players over 30 and saved money in the process. Following this trade, the Penguins are now projected to be over the NHL’s salary cap ceiling of $83.5 million by $79,342 by Cap Friendly. They entered the day projected to be $3,216,842 over the ceiling.

  7. Let me get this straight. They didn't resign zucker one of their best players. They resigned their worst player jarry. Carter 38 years old. Malkin 37 crosby letang 36 karlson 33. You don't think theres going to be a conflict between letang and karlson? This is going to be one of the worst teams in the league.
