Coconuts Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 It's almost time, the regular season is just around the corner. Pretty soon all the rosters will be set and we'll be ready to go, the stakes will be real going forward. I haven't been able to find a good image that has all the current NHL logos, so I've thrown up what I can. The old one Vintage used is out of date given that Arizona's no longer a thing. I'll probably keep poking around for something better, but it'll do for now. Expectations for the Canucks will be higher this season, teams will be gearing up for them in a manner that they may not have last season, we won't be taking anyone by surprise this go round. Be interesting to see how they go.

DeNiro Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 1 hour ago, Coconuts said: So we should have about 5 mil to get Boeser done and give Hoglander a raise. Shouldnt have an issue keeping the team together if they wanted. Also the increase in the OEL cap penalty will be offset by Poolman coming off the books. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t seem to get the head but Dach is an injury prone player so it could be bad news for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted October 2 Author Share Posted October 2 Michkov could be an immediate star if he can keep up what he's been doing in the preaseon Up to 7 in 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the late ‘70’s when “so called” hockey experts were saying some kid from Ontario was too skinny, too slow, and too weak to shoot and play in the National League. Smarts (with skill) make superstars. We’ve seen that before. Anyone seeing Michkov play in the world u18’s could see he was one of those rare greats who only come along once in a blue moon. Insane he dropped to seven in his draft. Should have gone for sure second and Alf’s Empties take him first. He’s that rare a player.

Not the biggest guy, but his talent is undeniable Philly may not make the playoffs, they're still a franchise in transition, but they should be fun to watch so long as he's in the lineup He could still grow some more, and he'll fill out over time Edited October 2 by Coconuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are being sat out for their own good. Got to like guys who have that kind of instinct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 @Coconuts is Yakumchuk a jumbo sized Makar? Sens have to keep him up don’t they? He’s way too good to send back to junior. He’s already their best pp D man and (maybe?) second best D to Sanderson overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say, if he cracks the bigs and shows well that'd be something but comparing almost any D to Makar nowadays is a stretch, we have the direct comparable Him and Hughes lead the pack for silky smooth D He looks to have NHL ready size though Right now they probably have Jensen and Zub are their top 4RD but Jensen is 34 and could be bumped down Hamonic and Bernard-Docker are both competing for that last RD spot though I'd imagine, I half expect Hamonic to end up on waivers if he's not Ottawa's extra Edited October 2 by Coconuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Is Dach being so dumb why the Hawks dumped him? He might just be the biggest dough head. Even bigger than Dahlin. Who the Empties considered the King of stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Habs are a cowardly bunch. Smurf coach shouldn’t challenge there. Just make your guys gut it out. Such a loser mentality in Haberland now. Once great and tough. Now cowardly and weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
