Rumour has it the Canes have been big game hunting, maybe they finally get off the fence and go for it

Or we could just let that one stay dead and buried..

He's a complimentary middle six forward, most teams have at least one of those Rare is the top six that has six legitimate top six players

That's a big deal if true, Florida's biggest weakness is their scoring depth If there was a season to go all-in for them it's probably this one, they're not going to be able to keep everyone this offseason

You keep Mikheyev there as the line's defensive conscience

She's pretty but I'm hoping we make a swift return to arguing over Guentzel

I get how we went from a three-way to innuendo but I don't understand how Taylor Swift and Elon Musk got brought into things..

That's a pretty solid deal for both sides

That's not a notable achievement, the Oil were garbage at the beginning of the season, it'd be more impressive if they managed it against the Oil of the past four or so months. We'll see them again towards the end of the season and see how things go. Maybe they'll take a feather out of Dallas's cap and start retaining their picks better.

Drafting and development are precisely why Dallas has maintained their ability to be competitive more often than not. Just as they appeared to be fading with Benn and Seguin they hit gold with Hintz, Robertson, Heiskanen, and Otter. Now they're seeing further success with guys like Johnston (23OA, 2021), Harley (18OA, 2019), Stankoven (47OA, 2021). You can throw Grushnikov (48OA, 2021) in there too as he was a good enough prospect to help them reel in Tanev from Calgary. That seems to be an organizational philosophy, wish we were similar. They stress drafting and development in a way the Canucks haven't, at least not as long as I've been a Canucks fan. I'll go back to 2000, nice round number, and take a look at how they've handled their top two picks. The 2003, 2007, 2008, and 2023 drafts are the only drafts they haven't picked a player in the first round since 2000. The 2001, 2006, 2016, 2019, and 2020 drafts are the only drafts they haven't picked a player in the second round since 2000. Many of those years they have multiple 2nd round picks. There's a good chance, Dallas nabbed another good one.

The same management group who hasn't been keeping their 2nd round picks? They've yet to use one, they've gone to Detroit and Chicago respectively Stank went in the 2nd round, the Canucks have a frustrating history of trading their 2nd's away instead of using them, which is a shame because that's where we got Demko and Hoglander But they're the only notable successes we've had in the 2nd in ages

Preds lose but grab a big point

McDavid coming for the Art Ross seems inevitable, hopefully Mac can stay hot Would have been laughed at if I'd said that back in October, but he may very well break 100 assists What an absurd talent

Draisaitl coming up clutch So did Horvat earlier, got the game winner, big win for the Isles and a big loss for the Blues Nashville could pad their lead with a win

We don't need anyone til we have them, don't you know?

I used MS paint ngl

He'd def cost less and fills the former Penguin requirment
