The Official 2018-19 Season Talk Thread

There's also Kaprizov, who last time I checked was the KHL goals leader and could be here for 20/21.

Welp .... that was fun while it lasted. Looks like we have broken Hart right now. Simply can't start him in the stadium game .... too risky at this age. Could make or break him, yes, but too risky.

Mod: can we dump the poll results? We are showing half a page for what 11 people think.

Next season I'll just have a few teams in the poll. Top 5 faves maybe and an "Other" category.


Another crazy Leafs-Habs game. Leafs on a 3 game losing streak, and then go down 3-0 to the Habs in first period! Was looking like another bad game where something better come of this trade deadline.

2nd period Leafs get 2 goals, but are still down by 1 and have only won 1 game all season when trailing after 2.

3rd period, they tie it up and get a late go ahead goal. Then add in an empty netter and get an automatic goal on what would've been a penalty shot if the net wasn't empty. So down 3-0, win it 6-3!

And to give it an old school feel, lots of checking involved (mostly from Habs) and lots of back and forth between the benches and guys on the ice.

Still hoping for a big change come Monday.

My suggestion would be to just do it as a separate thread from the regular season talk so we don't have to see it.

It's annoying and to be honest, no one cares (as evidence by the participation).

That. Was. Unreal.

Dzingel to Columbus for 2 2nds and Zuccarello to Dallas for a 2nd and a 3rd. Comparing the two deals, it feels like Columbus overpaid a bit based on the break-out year Dzingel is having, even if he is younger and more likely to resign as he played at OSU (yuck). Hopefully the Wings can get a similar package in return for Nyquist.

Really respect Jarmo for going for it this year.

Nyquist to San Jose for a 2nd and 3rd, which can become another 2nd if the Sharks resign him or if they go to the cup finals this season. The market has been set for a top 6 guy.

Buffalo trades one of their firsts and Brenden Guhle to Anaheim for Brandon Montour. Strange trade for Anaheim, usually teams don't trade away young quality defenders like that.

It looks like Jarmo has learned from the Gaborik debacle of not moving expirings away when in a playoff spot. They might even be able to recoup some later picks by trading player rights at the draft.
