And jaw-dropping stupid. Seems like they would keep a low profile & not give people a *second reason* to consider canceling.

Pitch: a heist movie where someone trains to be an NFL linebacker for the sole purpose of snatching Justin Jefferson’s necklace. #NFL

They were teammates in juniors, during which Robertson out-pointed Avon each year. Is Avon a better two-way player?

One positive: I do like that the luminescence is providing game ops. with the opportunity to enhance or modify the in-game experience.

Winter Classic jerseys far superior, but these are ok. I’ve seen more positive than negative. Some thirds are embarrassing; these are not, and that is a win.

Done?! I saw a report that said 3x $4.525.

Three-year deal done! Whew!

All of these women writing erotic hockey novels have obviously never smelled a bag of hockey gear.

According to PuckPedia, his arbitration hearing is scheduled for this Friday.

Habs fans talk so much about acquiring Kraken centers that they somehow manifested this.

It will be an interesting experiment. Seems like the plan is to rely on coaching to improve defense/goaltending, and rely on progression of young talent to improve the offense. Quite a needle to thread.

When has Kraken FO said it’s open to taking a strep back? Their moves suggest that’s true, but I haven’t heard β€˜em say it.

Well, you certainly aren’t giving up the farm. Or even a chicken. Id have to think a serious deal would start with a first and an A-level prospect.

Now you’re just trolling. Humor me and tell me what the Habs send back?

Stephenson makes a little sense. Not much upside, but solid, certainly cheaper to acquire, and not really on Seattle's timeline. The contract looking less onerous helps, too.

The disrespect is in not pausing a beat to consider why on Earth the Kraken would trade Wright or Beniers at this stage? So your conjecture is not based in any sort of reality, imo. Sorry to come in a little hot… I hope you get your 2C. I do. I just can’t imagine it being one of those 2 guys.

That’s a fair question. My answer, as a Kraken fan, is that Habs fans on here frequently are trying to order off the Kraken roster like it’s a menu.

As long as you guys are trying to manifest trades that will never happen, why don’t you add McDavid and MacKinnon to your wish list?

Let's hope for more up, less down!

Yep. It's all about the draft. Scouting staff needs to get it right and even then, they need years to develop talent. Winnipeg, as an example, winning with core guys drafted in 2011 (Schiefele, Lowry), 2012 (Hellebuyck), 2013 (Morrissey), 2014 (Ehlers), 2015 (Connor).

Granted, two of those trades involved draft picks (moving up to get Fiddler + moving down for an extra pick in 7th). I think free agency is complicated. Until Seattle wins consistently, it won't be a destination for many of the top guys. I do see an effort to re-work the team, and that's a start.

Botterill has made four trades this week, c’mon.

100 percent correct. Take the best player. Figure the rest out later.

Good god, *another* Habs fan trying to manifest a Beniers trade. Exhausting.

Do you know he didn’t?

Yeah, they are desperate for some needle-moving talent.

26.06.2025 19:08 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Buy out Veleno & this suddenly looks much better. Three years of Freddie + $1.1 in dead cap for Burky.

As many times as you wish it, it ain’t happening.

Another day, another Habs fan trying to wish a Beniers trade into existence. It ain’t happening.
