What a clown lol
Damn. I’m about to play rn, he inspired me
Look at baker man, so inspirational
Is not that, is the whole playing Halo all day instead of planning for the game lol
yeah i think that was when he was injured but i dont support it
he should be rehabbing if he was injured at that time
I forgot when he was
but late december sounds accurate
He had Covid but still played that game
Cause by then the minimum days had passed
I want a whole division over .500 lol
Smashville, your Nashville Predators are pleased to announce that we have agreed to terms with Filip Forsberg on an eight-year contract!

But besides those pretty cyclical questions, think the Blazers team will be fun to watch.

as long as everyone stays healthy
sharpe already got injured but thankfully it's a two-week thing
same with ivey speaking of rookies
Hope they do

it's a very expected answer though
I think the rivalry will be favored for the warriors though.

@ltarsenal he's better than Tavares and for 7m it's not a bad deal but I do have concerns over his defending and his ability in big games to not leave his team exposed

Mick plan
Word is that OTT/TOR have intensified discussions around Matt Murray. We will see how things play out, but those conversations continue.
115
Dubas plan?
same and he’s on a big contract so Ottawa would have to eat salary
This is reclamation project territory. Bet on a guy who has a history of winning but has lost his way. Put him on a good team and who knows. Sorta similar to how Colorado went after Kuemper
Agree
It would be like Man United going after Lloris lmao
Except Lloris is actually good I guess idk
Just weird
There’s two things here too
1 he’s only 28
2 Murray played for SOO in OHL, Dubas used to be the GM of SOO. Kimmy will vouch, there’s a lot of SOO ties with Toronto. This is Dubas getting someone he’s very comfortable with on a personal level
Rate the fpl squad

Yes indeed
zach wilson different
Bruh that's weird
God damnit
What happens when the leafs can’t develop goalies to save their lives
The big issue is really the eye injury
And the fact that kuemper and Campbell would be pricy for what they are worth
The leafs are a good defense, but they aren’t elite and don’t have the defensive forward depth either
The leafs biggest strengths are elite talent which can score at a high level and staying in the offensive zone. Getting a mediocre goalie for big bucks which would need a great defense to really work out is just an overpay
Idk anymore goalies are super hit and miss year to year beyond the beat goalies
That’s the thing too, sometimes you just get a goalie be a one year wonder. Hardest position to find for sure
He just barely kept that out as well
I'll give Wilson one thing - when he said he'll always love the cougars, he meant it.

Nasty little man
Yeah. I really don’t like Murray though since he has just been declining after his first few years
Juventus have made fresh contact with Arsenal for Gabriel Magalhães, reports @AlfredoPedulla. Arsenal are asking for a transfer fee of around €40 million for the centre-back.
It also says they want a discount because they also want Torreira 😭
Broke fucks
Wtf? I thought Fiorentina were signing him
Torreira
The Leafs continue to do their due diligence on a potential Matt Murray trade. As you would expect a full medical evaluation is part of the decision making process. Toronto and Ottawa have been going back and forth on a trade since Friday.

Big hockey day, should see some trades and signings
Teams need to qualify their restricted free agents by 5 pm
ffs
leafs have been on a goalie carousel way before i was even born
how hard is it to develop goalies
that can be league average
Didn't want to trigger 15mil option
Cheap fucks
Literally got like 70mil for Vlahovic
It’s the one thing my favorite franchise can actually do
must be nice to not have to rely on voodoo magic and spinning the wheels on two ahl caliber goalies
what
that's true. high end talent all the way

Unironically yes
He's going to play fortnite now
COL will be promoting Chris MacFarland to GM, with Joe Sakic becoming President of Hockey Operations. The Avalanche wisely chose to keep MacFarland rather than allow him to interview with other teams earlier this season.
280
I'd like to believe that the Avs saw how much Sakic gave up for Georgiev and was were like, "Alright, that's enough from you, have a promotion so you can't be GM."
Although the reality is MacFarland has as much hand with the Avs' success as Sakic.
Probably this lol. Sakic just pulling a Stevie Y, let someone else get the big job
Sakic got promoted to President of Hockey Operations. He's pretty much gonna be doing the same thing anyways. lol
as a raptors fan really not much difference LOL
masai is president of basketball operations but is still the main guy and webster is the actual gm
look good. don't know if i love the reliance on using gold though
Look familiar
These are nice and simple

AL Central is such a joke. I hate Jerry Reinsdorf and La Russa so much rn
They’re holding back the White Sox that much huh. I thought Reinsdorf cared about the team.
Reinsdorf caring about the Sox. HAHAHAHA. Trust me, if he really cared he wouldn't treat his team like a small market one when his team plays in the 3rd largest market in the country
Also, he's the jackass who hired La Russa. I don't care what Rick Hahn says. Jerry went over his GMs hand to hire him.
Probably right on that end
Better yet how are AL west below 500 despite Astro’s carrying so hard
And mariners being on like a 14 game winning streak
Freaking angels man
Even rangers have been playing a bit better
But you expect as and rangers to suck
Angels have TWO generational players
lol yeah
Altho Rangers have done a lot of signings, but mostly of dudes who will be past their primes soon most likely
Nah seager has been AL player of the year week
And semien is finding his footing
It’s weird the two signings they made were for some reason both infielders playing the same position
But I guess when you’re a team that can’t attract much, you do what u can
I’m more concerned about the blue jays being absolutely awful the last month or so
In other words, the status quo for the Rangers.
toronto sports
there's a reason very little winning happens here
Blue Jays losing a series to the A's. Rays losing a series to the Reds. At least you can say the Rays are playing with a Triple A team rn. The Jays are just choking rn.
Hey, you can at least say you have as many WS title wins as the White Sox and Cubs combined in the last 30 years.
And swept by the Mariners
I mean, Seattle's been hot, but yeah, the Rays broke them.
the issue is i wasn't born until like 10 years later
There's Mariner fans in their 20s who never seen them in the playoffs once.
heartbreaking to be so close last year
That's baseball for ya. A lot of heartbreak. They added another WC spot this year, so things could be better.
Must be frustrating with the ownership with the Rays as well
Glad I’ve seen a team I’ve support win a WS
Ownership never really shows up on the field though. It's a different kind of stress with the stadium stuff. Also a part of me believes Sternberg is willing to bring on the checkbook once the stadium stuff is done with. If Freddie Freeman's offer sheet was true.
Fair enough. Also, have you ever seen a situation like Freeman’s before? Because of his agent, he never got the chance to stay with the Braves then.
Yeah, that sucks. But it is what it is.
I just find it unreal that the Dodgers had to outbid the Rays for him. Rays don't usually throw money at an all star like that unless they're resigning.
he would have been good in TB
Even if this is true
The fact that Madrid fans, of all people, are taking the piss out of it
Is funny as hell
this has been true recently
Even so
but tbf, laporta has had to have this mentality building back from everything bartomeu destroyed
Pot calling the kettle black
and it sucks seeing it come at the expense of messi, suarez, alves
i want there to be a documentary released one day on how bartomeu got away with absolutely destroying a club
How hated is he amongst Barca fans
the way suarez left was really bad
im pretty sure barca fans hate barto more than the devil
and im not even exaggerating
like if u held a poll tomorrow, it would prob be 90-10
no one likes him apart from some people in the press who was friends with him
yea but lets be honest, they prob arent even too fond of him either
Worse than United w the glazers?
way way way worse
Jeez
there's some people that critique laporta when he's doing the best he can, yet where were those people saying stuff towards bartomeu when hewas president. There are a few people that defend barto but they're just nuts
glazers are annoying but they havent been shy of spending money, even if its in the wrong places
and they have still made good business decisions
(revenue wise, not club wise)
barto has put barca 10 years behind
Wonder why they’d defend him for any minuscule reason.
no idea honestly
yea people dont realize that rebuilding a club out of hell requires tough decisions, some that some people wont vibe with. it comes with a hard stance and media gets away scott free
yeah
im not a laporta fanboy all the way, even i disagree with some stuff
but i can see and appreciate him doing shiz it should be done
our deadweight this szn will feel less, mala
we got rid of lenglet
sadly, rennes pulled out of umtiti deal and puig hasnt found a suitor yet. neto as well
yeah he's not perfect but for the most part he's been doing good for the club
@dim ledge have u seen the trolling barca/man u/chelsea fans have been on this offszn
eps barca-chelsea fans
too many people want to be our accountants
its just funny we've all gotten intermingled becuz of our targets
and players preferring barca
and then them retorting by calling us broke
Yes lol
TBF everyone has a pretty big Achilles heel of criticism rn
not man city or liverpool
i think every signing man city has made this szn has been amazing
and kinda lowkey for some reason
haaland, alvarez, phillips is insane

ESPN Sources: NBA’s Board of Governors is expected on Tuesday to approve the Play-In Tournament as a regular part of future league seasons. The Play-In had been voted on a year-to-year basis in past two seasons, but support exists to turn it into annual element of NBA structure.

Here to stay
Anything to get the Knicks a chance to be a playoff team
And it’s not a joke either
Need to make another offseason move then. Brunson gives them an answer at point guard, but not enough.
i still think aside from the success from last year (which was in large part due to two major markets lakers vs warriors and two major superstars (lebron and curry)) that play ins have not been that exciting
True, I’ll take your word. Hope they can find a way
The Wolves clippers one was entertaining and George was there. But as a whole, no it hasn't been great.
Oh boy, more forced drama for teams that most likely won’t sniff the second round.
Perhaps, but I'm not sure with Thibodeaux being there.
one of the 9th seed-10th seed has to win a game first
I think the clippers game were kinda exciting mainly due to the fact that they blew leads in the 4th both games
Getting the 7th or 8th seed in the NBA playoffs is so useless though most years
It does allow the best teams from the West and East to meet in the Finals though
No dark horse teams can sneak in
yea but thats just the clippers innit
Ilya Samsonov was not tendered a qualifying offer by the #caps. Another goalie hits the free-agent market.

Woaaaaaaaaah. Unexpected @dim ledge backup option perhaps?
For his age group he’s pretty insane but he needs to play and I’m not sure he will at Barca
I'd welcome it but if we're both honest he should start
Liverpool's Achilles is buying Darwin at that price for only "one good season" and also losing out on the quadruple so closely
City's is that they're buying football and letting go of all players of a certain description
True I doubt he wants to back up

I know money may not work but I can’t shake that idea for some reason

20 of the first 24 Coyotes games are on the road. Signing for them sure will be fun

Not big fan of the fact that the contract ends in his mid 30s though.
Also the fact that the Avs are signing this guy after one year he spiked in production. Better hope he doesn't go back to averaging 13 goals a season
Yeaaaah, I can def see what you mean. Ah maybe he fits into PP2 and keeps up
Sounds like Matt Murray to the Leafs is getting close.
141
@celest zephyr
Leafs really hoping Murray get's back to his prime and hope he doesn't get injured. Otherwise, they might as well kept Freddie Andersen.

that save at 0:20
my god
I saw that
It was amazing
this is such a gamble to pay murray 4.7 mill
kinda out of options though. campbell sucked for months last season
now that i'm thinking about it, good move to not pay campbell long term. murray has two years at 4.7 mill, so if he sucks still only 2 instead of 4 or 5 years on campbell
plus his contract expires when matthews and nylander does and one year before marner and tavares. worst case the leafs lose one or both of their key guys and are forced to retool or rebuild. In that scenario, they don't have a potential anchor of a deal for a guy who's pretty much just voodoo magic at this point
best case matthews and nylander want to re-sign after the 2023-2024 season or extend next offseason and now they have money and flexibility
marner same case but a year out. in both cases a campbell contract would likely be on the books. tavares could be back after, but the leafs aren't going to pay him close to his current deal at the rate it is going.
murray could be cut or traded if he isn't good next season, since he'd just have one year left
looks like the buyout for his contract is fairly cheap. It'd be about 500k cap hit next season then a 2 mill cap hit the year after. In that case sure I guess. It won't cost much if he truly sucks
i also dont get why ottawa couldn't have just paid him to not play. they don't need cap space and could have saved picks in the process.
I like the design too tbh
Better than last seasons one
The color choice itself wasn’t bad
I just think this one has a ring to it personally
To each their own
That I agree with
These are nice
V Neck helps
Honestly yeah. And the homes have nice collars too imo
United put out their strongest 11 😭
damn paolo getting load management in the summer league
makes sense since it doesn't mean anything for high level prospects but still lol
We ain't trying to lose 5-0 again
Ottawa is about to go spending. They’re gonna get Weegar and Claude Giroux
Honestly even though we played 80% foetuses I'm embarrassed we conceded 3
McMuffin is so out of his depth at this point I just feel bad for him
Ok that's 4
But chad
ETH double agent
Preseason, don’t be a doomer !
Yeah you're right our U16s will come into form
YES !!!!!!
that looks so much better than the dark blue
Coming off a career best season with 21 Goals in 53 Games, @MapleLeafs Mikheyev is headed to the UFA Market tomorrow , open to all offers, and will garner plenty of interest .
@espn @NHL #HockeyTwitter
yeah figured can't afford him
leafs have to re-sign sandin
that's the priority. if they need cap space, muzzin probably goes on LTIRetired
They 100% have to yeah
bold moves to have a slim chance at a playoff spot
LMAO I can’t even tell you the Ottawa starter and I follow hockey
Anton Forsberg is it? Idek
yeah it'd be forsberg
one of the weirdest goalie markets i've seen
so many teams needing goalies and moving them
yet there's been few to no real options that aren't gambles
looks done with life
My sense is #Flames have put an offer on the table for Johnny Gaudreau - north of $10 mil x 8 years - that would make him not only highest-paid player in Calgary franchise history, but among richest in #NHL.
If Gaudreau walks, it likely won't be because of money.

never liked this rafa dude, I knew there was something wrong with the guy when he wanted Messi sold in 2017 to join Pep at City. Shameless dude
He looks like an actor. Forgot the name. But he looks fatigued
Looks toast man
we move @sweet tree @dim ledge
keeping dembouz and getting raphinha is nice, just his price is bit more than I expected but it's not the 75m that was circulating atleast
wonder what the add ons are
winning the CL
so we good
we aint have to pay that
but really excited about having dembele/raphina on flanks
but my question is, tf ferran torres for?
lol
but having more options is nice but looking back idk if it was worth the investment for him
yeah that's quite true
and lets be honest, dembele isnt getting benched if hes top form
i think hes the best of the lot when healthy
unless u wanna play "false 9" which also makes no sense when you have fati/auba/maybe lewa as strikers?
I think so too, I guess we'll just see how this plays out. Having a lot of option upfront ain't bad
agreed it looks a lot now
Memphis staying this season as well
theyre saying, maybe for kounde in a sevilla deal?
i wouldnt mind that
one. we have influx of forwards
two. kounde and araujo is scary times
if we playing kounde-araujo-christensen 3 back
but bro, deco is a barca legend for this transfer lol
fun fact, was my first ever "favorite" player
I dont think lewa is coming
yeah honestly, I didn't think we'd sign raphinha tbh lol
was expecting him to go to one of the london club
i think raph wanting to come, the fact that a barca legend is his agent
kind of contributed to it
Umtiti failed his medical tests at Rennes. [cat radio] #fcblive 🇫🇷

😋
when will this man leave us
lmao
everyone warned him this would happen in 2018
he'll still be here till his contract ends, I've kinda accepted it
Been with you for a while it seems
if we get Kounde, that would be brazy icl
looks like lewa is def out of bayern, even if he doesnt come to us
Nah that £380k p/w figure for Koulibaly for 5 years 😭
I mean he is a much needed current upgrade
We passed on koulibaly and ended up with bum aas Maguire for 80 mil so it could worse
Lmao fr I think it was age thing cause maguire was younger smh
Sources say Cam Talbot has been traded to #Sens.
@DailyFaceoff

its done @rustic mountain
the nkeal memes will stop
Or if they continue
He aint on my team
Fucking finally
What a terrible draft pick
nah now he'll become a redemption story
I doubt it
He might not even make the team
which WRS do bears have?
W patriots
Won that trade easily
Lame
Leafs don’t have a goalie to trade though
Idk what to say about the Leafs
Tomorrow is really going to be an interesting day. Highly likely boring for you and me but overall, interesting
@short spindle @burnt cedar thoughts on Odegaard being captain?
I honestly never would've guessed him
Outside looking in
I would make it Gabriel M.
Can’t speak English
Captain for Norway
Got no issues with it
Maybe not tbh
Don’t think the leafs make a splash but they need 6 players and have 6.37 mill to do so
And well that means a lot of bargain hunting
Really besides sandin and maybe engvall the rest of their rotation is going to be finding guys or keeping guys like Blackwell and Boosh
Ahhh okay, yeah I see what you mean! That’s gonna be fun
I feel bad for flames fans
Calgary clock is ticking to trade Matthew Tkachuk too. Basically have to start all over
But that’s sports. NBA fans know it well. Johnny has the right to come home and that’s what’s gonna happen tmw. Devils, Flyers, or Isles will land him, no question about it
Calgary did nothing wrong though. You have a top ten player in the league while your team playing at a top 5/10 pace. You don’t just trade him. They’ll absolutely have to trade Tkachuk though, this cannot happen to them twice.
Shitty reality for the fans. Small markets are the super important but they’ll always run into these types of issues. For the most part, top players can only play there for so long
No kidding lmao they really blew it against Edmonton
Hockey is a more balanced sport than the nba but still seems uncommon at to not have at least one guy that’s top 5/10 at their position on a cup winning roster
Yeah that was a hard choke
I will say though I wouldn’t be bitter at Johnny if I was a flames fan. He didn’t lead people on like Tavares did in NYI
Yup, you can’t win without one or two
Another thing that’s obvious but has really been eye opening this summer; goalies. Goalies and NFL QBs are the only two positions in all of sports where it’s like… you either have a guy or you don’t. Practically zero middle ground
Ha! Small markets. We all know the real reason for Johnny wanting to fuck off is because he knows Calgary doesn't have the swagger come playoff time. Although, he's part responsible for that outcome too lol, but still.
Red Sox always playing like clowns against the Rays it seems. lol
So you don’t think that him living in Calgary has anything to do with this? I sure do
Family probably sick of the long flights to visit him in pacific Canada in the beautiful month of January. He’ll be in the metro division tmw
That’s just my opinion though. Tkachuk likely the same
Probably will be a Flyer or whatever. I do think him living in Calgary is probably a good reason for leaving, but not because it's a small market. Small Market in a hard cap league doesn't matter much along with the fact that playing for a big city in Hockey doesn't have the same impact as a basketball would for example.
Maybe small market is harsh and the wrong word but I do think places like Calgary, Winnipeg, Edmonton are unattractive to a lot of players
I genuinely believe if things were equal with team quality, players would rather play for Arizona than those three I mentioned
I would say it's also because Canada money is valued a lot differently than some cities in the US. But you could also say those 3 teams are known for being dumpster fire to mediocre franchises to play for most years.
Small markets was the wrong thing to say you’re right about that. It doesn’t impact NHL like the others
Yeah Canada tax is just high
And doesn’t help that besides maybe Vancouver there’s real reasons to not want to live in any of the Canadian cities
Yeah it’s not common to have something like the avs where they won with decent goaltending
I know places like Winnipeg is very small compared to other cities. But I definitely think it's because teams like the Jackets in the US and Jets don't have many guys not waning to play for them is because they don't have the best track record for winning and competing for cups. Like, who would actively want to live in cities like Pittsburgh or Detroit? Yet players want to play there.
True, it’s not all one sided with negatives
That’s a good point. Ultimately there’s a lot of factors. Islanders are a NY team but it doesn’t benefit them when it comes to FA, for example
Also happens because there is the rangers
They play in Long Island. Fake NY
ON long island
On. 
Fake tri stater over here
The clippers are in la but barely anyone wanted to play for them
For the longest time Chicago was a graveyard
Unless a team is like the main team in a place like LA, New York, Miami guys only come for success pretty much
Or maybe high end talent
Still funny that the two LA sports teams that moved from San Diego are equally not given a fuck about in the city. lol
Raider country over there.
It’s funny when teams try to move to la because I have no clue how they think they’d beat out established fan bases there
Other than just winning a ton
They could, but it takes a lot of luck and years to get a fanbase going in a place like LA. Hell, the White Sox have been in Chicago for over 100 years and yet are second to the Cubs by a lot.

Well, the Mets were lucky they came shortly after both Dodger and Giant fanbases were broken in NY.
Hell, the Mets stole the Giants hat logo.
Yeah and they symbolize a lot of the immigrant and even outsider type crowd. Anti establishment

I mean it's a 4 year deal for a 35 year old
ok so that is what it is
The Pittsburgh Penguins and the Great Choice:
- Accept reality, understand that last year was the last chance you had a deep run, begin a painful rebuild.
OR
- Keep the gang around and slowly become irrelevant. What's a rebuild?
You knew what they'd choose from the beginning.

Vladislav Namestnikov is back in Tampa Bay on a 1 year deal. #Lightning
Sorry, Rangers.
Holy 8 years
Huge contract
Sergachev is getting more money than Heddy BTW.
Not sure why the leafs do
3.8 mill left for 4 guys. Think kerfoot gets shown the door
He’s good but the leafs can possibly replace him for significantly cheaper
They're probably doing what they did a few years ago. Sign a bunch of cheap players and hope some of them shine and build from there. But the goaltending could be a disaster.
This black magic the Bolts have, man.
I’m so disappointed with Trocheck
Class rangers. Buyout candidate in 5 years. Won’t even be the 2C, watch. Won’t work with Panarin. Still don’t have a proper top line winger for Mika and Kreider. No money left in the cap. We stink
Devils and Islanders in a battle for Gaudreau? Might be down to them unless someone jumps back in last minute.
Free agency is the worst day but also the most fun day

Called it.
How the hell are the lightning going to field a roster in 2023-2024
Yeah the goaltending is rough
They have 10 mill in cap space and 12 guys signed
Killorn is likely gonna be gone by the trade deadline.
Cernak also
So like 5 mil left with 13 players signed
Not even 4.5 mill lol
Then about 10 mill with 12 guys still
Assuming they take back no salary
Lightning have been good for years but this is a massive hole they are digging
Using the term "tendie" to refer to a goalie makes me want to commit homicide
Out of all the sports hockey has by far the worst terms I swear bro
Leafs have 2 mill left. Maybe sandin extension and then dumping kerfoot
Enough for two vet min guys but can’t see them not re-signing sandin
This is too risky. Guessing they are trying to see how much they have left for sandin but this risks him getting swiped by another team if they can’t afford to match the offer sheet

Kinkaid replacement. Really not a big deal
Question: Do most people from the US actually know that football/"soccer" is the biggest sport in the world? How popular is it? Is the Champions League for example well known and hyped?
Yes we know very very well
How popular it is really boils down to where people live and what their nationality background is. I don’t think too many white Americans from Nebraska care about champions league but there are tons of people in urban centers that do
Any ignorance you see to this fact from yanks is 90% willfull ignorance
I'm sure there's a fringe minority who don't know the reach of it
But yeah most people are just memeing
UCL isn't as big here as like the world cup, even non footy fans will be glued to the TV for that, but if you like footy you'll prob follow UCL assuming your club is in it if you're stateside (I'm a stateside Liverpool fan from Greece)
Last time (and idk if only) time a whole division ended .500 or better was the 2005 NL East
AL East rn on pace to more total wins
The bigger difference rn is the Yanks pretty much have the AL East by the balls at this point.
Yeah
the king is here
I love him. He was one of my fave PL players. I hope he crushes it for you
crazy thing is people have been pointing out his stats as they were bad
- dude was playing for a relegation team as the most talented player so he was heavily focused
- his team STILL missed sitters he put on a platter for them
- even then, his numbers was a winger were still decent
- he has flair for days
That is extremely important for a player
its not important but its fun to see as a fan
partly why neymar was so beloved in barcelona
brazilians are amazing
He’s a very fun player, don’t stress the stats. The team talent of Barca will help him a lot
resigned dembele too
we about to have some insane wingers lol
Figured you’d say that
Don’t know how the Habs can go to finals appearance to a 1st overall pick that quick. And they still won’t be great
Didn’t expect the floor to fall off that fast, but they also overperformed and lost key pieces either in free agency or basically retiring
If u guys get lewa yall will be a legit threat and getting kessie on a free was good business
Simply because of the situation they were in. From making the playoffs because of the covid rules to having a shit ton of injuries and a lot of bad luck through out the season.
And yall getting kounde right?
Hockey be weird like that.
seems it so far
kounde + araujo would actually be the most athletic cb pairing in the world
who can dribble
though sometimes i feel like one of the two cbs should be a rugged stone
Yall having a pretty good window while it takes utd a billion years to do any business
Not that worried about the leafs. Pretty much lateral moves so far. D core is looking fine. Free agency in terms of UFAs is basically over since the leafs can’t afford a middle 6 forward. Guessing it’s Robertson right now or maybe kerfoot goes up to the second line and he’s on the third line
Goaltending is obviously gonna be the biggest problem here
Depends if Murray can stay healthy
Yeah and the 4th line hopefully having some identity
And not just rolling guys out
Total gem
You had a beauty @proud coyote
Chuck Fletcher announces they are done with the free agency market. They are officially out on Johnny Gaudreau. Says the reality is, they didn't have the cap space.

I believe he wanted to be a Flyer but no GM in the league would budge to help PHI. Everyone knew PHI was desperate to free cap and here we are lol
Peak leafs would be to dump a bunch of contracts to get him
Lol rangers too. Difference being the rangers and leafs aren’t scared of trading first rounders, clearly Philly is

He took less money to leave Calgary and he left money on the tables from the devils oh my god
Well Patrik Laine is getting traded
Holy Crap!. Must be a big Buckeyes fan. 
Sounds like Johnny Gaudreau left somewhere between $15-17.5 million on the table in Calgary by choosing Columbus, depending on final total.
Not sure anyone saw that coming.

Isn’t he afraid of the cannon?? Lmao

loooool

It is ridiculous how good that man is at scouting talent
When Elmer Soderblom is the best net front presence in the league in a few years you’ll all remember wow Lunik was right
But I’m also very pro euro and love seeing that Yzerman trusts kids from Germany and Austria
Considering most of the core The Bolts have rn came from 2nd round picks to undrafted players, I honestly wouldn't doubt whatever Yzerman finds in the rough.
WTF
5x5 for Ryan Strome?
What, did Verbeek see Strome miss a gimmie in the ECF and thought he may get that chance back with the Ducks. Well, knowing how players on the Rangers do and after, it probably will happen. lol
It’ll probably work out bc Rangers BUT …. Man that’s rough
Free agency day really is the worst day of the year for GMs
I'm wondering if players even want to come to the Ducks easily if we had to pay 5 million to get Strome
Makes me feel a lot better for paying a few grand more for trocheck
At least there's still time for the Rangers to get Dylan Strome
But two stromes are better than one
If that was the case, Bowman would've been excited to have them together in Chicago.
Lmfao not wrong
Got to drink the stupid juice
Johnny Gaudreau wasn’t cut out for a market like Calgary. High expectations. Hockey mad city. He wanted it easy. The Flames will recover and move on. He’s not leading anyone to a Stanley Cup anytime soon.

It’s also desperation maybe since after the first day it’s just scraps left
Canadian media, everyone
Not even maybe, definitely
If I wake up tomorrow and sandin is on another team I am going to riot
Yeah true
Got to overpay even if no one else will do it
Canes have to be metro favourite at least now
Besides maybe Tampa favourite of the east
I genuinely hope for you guys to keep sandin
I was a firm believer it was time for him and Lilly
My goodness, I can't tell if that's more salt or copium
Acts like the flames are the Yankees
Yeah it’s looking likely. Leafs have the cap space to. Maybe have to make a move depending on how cap space is calculated for the leafs
HES NOT CUT OUT FOR CALGARY!! HES ONLY BEEN THERE 8 YEARS AND WAS A TOP 10 PLAYER IN THE SPORT
Think they do, since even if they bury some guys in the minors, they’d have to get guys making similar money on their active roster
He lost me at "Flames will recover"
True! I think you guys had some sneaky pick ups in general
Will be interesting to see if Knies plays this season
Eh really just kubel. Samsonov isn’t bad for what he’s getting paid but it’s still a risk
This is why the Flames should've blown it up last year. Instead, they just let Gaudreau walk with no return because the Flames are fucking stupid.
Don't care about how much they tried to keep him, they should've known this outcome.
Nah flames did the right thing imo
Tkachuk is def getting traded now
But flames were a top team all season. Tough situation but idk, I think they did the right thing by going for it
I mean how do you justify trading a top 5-10 player
Like the team trading the player rarely wins that
That’s how I feel too. Top goalie, good depth players. Nice C in Tkachuk
Idk, I don’t blame them at all
It's easy to say that consider how the season went for them in the regular season, but at the end of the day, the core is gonna be known for choking and losing to Edmonton in humiliating fashion.
I just hate the fact, that I had a soft spot for this Flames core and it's going to shit
Only 1 team wins each year. Sports man. They can draft 15 times in the first round before finding a player like Johnny again smh. I’m with you on the core, I was a fan of the flames and made it vocal here
They just shit the bed once they couldn’t stop mcdrai
They were shitting the bed against Dallas too. If Dallas had any sort of scoring, they'd be going to the second round instead of Calgary.
Speaking of Dallas I don’t think they signed anyone today??
Actually, Marchment
Islanders didn’t sign anyone of note. They need to fire Lou already ( pls don’t, I like this timeline )
Weren't they trying to make Matt Barzal happy or something like that. Oh, I know, HOW ABOUT PK SUBBAN, BECAUSE FORMER NJ DEVIL!

Least he won it with you guys.
True
I'm not sure how good/bad the Devils have been lately but Palat is a + addition in my books for them
Devils are on the rise. It's just last year for them could be easy to explain as shit goaltending. Which the Devils hoped they fixed with getting Vanecek. Palat definitely makes them better. It's just, they better hope Palat doesn't decline in the next few years

Lol jazz
The issue with that is vanacek could just as easily be trash as good
Knicks about to trade 11 firsts for Donovan
God damnit
or maybe that’s good? Idk my basketball knowledge is trash man
its a joke because think they can theoretically do it
its tough tbh because with the gobert and murray trades the trade market is super inflated
mitchell is also an all star caliber talent, could be an all nba player if he excels with the knicks next season
good scorer, bad defender. think he sometimes has tunnel vision. not really much of a passer
he's also 25 so still has his prime in front of him, plus a rookie max extension without making an all nba team makes his contract smaller than a regular max player.
he'd definitely make the knicks at least a playoff caliber team for the rest of his contract,which is 3 years plus a player option
Ty for the analysis man
It’s sorta a Carmelo situation ( not comparing the actual player caliber ) where this is a player who WANTS to come here. His dad works for the Mets, he’s from the area, he’s seen in NY literally once a month without fail
Thibodeaux will hate that
he made a backcourt of kemba and fournier into a somehow respectable defense. he definitely will though lol
Thought Kemba got benched midway through the season?
looks like it
burks-quickley or rj-quickley doesn't seem that good either
plus still playing fournier at the 3
When Derrick Rose got hurt for them, it really showed their problems at guard
Couldn’t score
Love to see it
leafs join also
leafs fanbase is peak misery. just watch some people think the floor is falling out and they'll finish with a top 8 record in the league again
https://twitter.com/ian_mendes/status/1547634776080650243?s=21&t=JQw3K3LwelUKk4lTK1wsTQ is Pierre cooking ???
I’ve always felt he’s a decent GM tbh
looks like it
if only dubas wasn't just sitting there sigh
he's supposed to be a genius, yet has just made lateral moves. personally don't care that much about boosh or mihkeyev leaving
maybe could have asked them to stay or tried to sign them, but that's all just conjecture and don't really know if other gms were already talking by then
I love the fact that the moment Eugene dies, the Sens let the checkbook open. Reminds me when Bill Wirtz dead and the Blackhawks suddenly looked like a different team.
got to try to become competitive. think the team is getting sold soon
unless the estate or whoever is running it wants to keep it going
14 years, whew
Ty God

they cant S&T ayton anymore
so hows KD gonna go there now?
well they weren't going to be able to take ayton in anyways
unless they moved ben
his contract really restricts who they can get back
it was but idk guess it never worked out
Sheesh
plus ayton obviously would have had to agree to be traded to some team
which would have had to find a way to afford him
this tells me KD isnt out of brooklyn yet
nah he's not getting moved
Oh damn
Who are the suns getting 👀
Is Kd out of the table now

Sun fans rn:
The offer for Ayton hasn’t been signed yet since the Pacers still need to clear cap for that to happen
But yeah, if that goes through, he won’t be in it.
Pacers did this as a final threat to make the Suns make the sign and trade to their favor I guess if a trade does happen. Or they get nothing if he walks.
It’s pressure
Ain't that bad for us if they dont trade kd they might not trade kyrie

yes
but it is what it is
