All hail the giraffe All hail @Ribs

Jets still have 3.2M in deadline cap space too, his cap hit is a benefit to them

Wouldn't be surprised if Winnipeg was poking at Monahan, but it's a lot easier to get players to stay in Vancouver than it is to get them to stay in Winnipeg. If Winnipeg had paid what we had it'd likely have been for a rental. Maybe they expect they'll be able to retain Monahan?

Dunno, the bits I've been reading have Hellebuyck as the favourite. He's been on another level this year playing behind a much less star studded team. But Demko's the other guy in the mix at this point, certainly.

I think they'll end up elsewhere, the NHL may have to pressure ownership to play ball sooner than later

I'd be surprised if they allow Russia to participate, well, slightly.

Interesting, a couple new locations involved

I think time is finally running out

If they acquire Tanev it'd almost certainly involve an extension Depends on how set they are on their needing a D of his ilk, they've bled goals this season and Zub can't do it alone

Could go deep

Well, we haven't been getting to the first round..

But would you keep him over Garland?

Wonder if he's he guy who ends up in Ottawa, Jacques Martin ain't a long-term solution

Gory Buttman will defenstrate himself from the Empire State Building e5

Sens can also send a 1st that isn't theirs, they have a conditional pick from the Debrincat trade

10-team NTC, but players will waive them at times, we just saw Kuzmenko waive his for Calgary Tanev's from Toronto, it's not farfetched to believe he'd go to Eastern Canada to wrap up his career the same way Giroux has There's also no guarantee the Canucks will want to ante up and pay the Flames ask, or that they'd be able to beat the Sens offer if the Sens really want him Folks are quick to say he won't go to Ottawa, but I really don't think it's unrealistic

I'd happily watch either them or Colorado win the cup if we go out tbh It'd be cool to see Mac win another, but it'd be neat to see Winnipeg win too I passively root for both

Also of note

That'd be a good battle It's gonna be a scary team coming out of the central either way

And likely no all-star game next year
