It feels like for years, even with a huge analytics team, we weren't able to scoop up guys like this that ended up having success. Hopefully this is a turning point and we get one right.

Andrae for Benoit seems like a decent swap. Benoit did a lot of good here to re-establish himself as a NHL defenceman after Anaheim, but simply put kind of had to go for the Leafs to get more puck moving ability from the backend. That leaves basically a 3rd for Woll. I dunno. I guess the...

At first glance, this trade feels very, very underwhelming and pointless. Chayka's really betting on some untapped potential from Andrae (which could very well exist).

Small PSA, I know we love our "General" threads here but if the first major trade of the offseason doesn't deserve it's own thread I don't know what else would.

"The Citizen was told the club wants to get bigger and harder to play against on the back end. If that’s the case, then Spence doesn’t fit that mould." If the sens are still using the same outdated scouting reports for Carlo that Treliving was, this might work.

He'll still get paid a dumb amount of money, and I'd rather give Raddysh that.

Really well done article here about the Canes coach and GM. Pretty insightful especially if you aren't super aware of Tulsky's background. I really liked this bit, as it's basically one of my exact points when someone asked what's to really like about Tulsky a few months ago:

I think they definitely weighed the Finals performances significantly higher than any other round here, which makes sense considering there probably wasn't a clear-cut favourite otherwise. Hall had 2 goals and 3 points against Vegas, while Staal had 6 goals and 7 points (Ehlers led the team in...

TBT to that time Steve Simmons randomly started shouting at Tyler Dellow (now a Stanley Cup winning assistant GM) for thinking he knows more than NHL GMs: https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/steve-simmons--tyler-dellow-and-shouting-about-dave-bolland-165706004.html

Are you kidding? They gotta focus on all their end of year meetings, then draft prep, then free agency. They won't have time to consider whether or not he can be allowed to interview with another team until late July at the earliest.

I'm very, very happy to see Eric Tulsky win the Cup. Best GM in the league. But also for anyone who's kept up with the analytics trend in hockey from the start it's truely even more incredible to see Tyler Dellow be a Stanely Cup champion.

Mr. Game 5/6/7 does it again. *lights a cigarette and walks away, never to open this thread again*

Taking this from an article at the Athletic, but these were the drafted prospects on McKenna's NCAA team this season: Jackson Smith - 2025 1st round pick (CBJ) Charlie Cerrato - 2025 2nd round pick (CAR) Reese Laubach - 2022 7th round pick (SJ) Luke Misa - 2024 4th round pick (CGY) In...

The AHL site says all games will be on SN 360, except for game 2 which will be on SN One.

Yeah I don't know how or why it happens but sometimes the text you post gets hardcoded to be a black font, instead of just the default one for whatever dark/light system a user has on their computer. In this post for example if you look toggle the BB code on you can see that the font color has...

I definitely doubt they would put his name on the Cup, but getting a ring for him is something a decent team would do I think (so probably not that either). There's some precedent here with Robbie Ftorek being fired with 8 games left in the regular season before the Devils won the Cup in 2000...

I think value-wise, it's pretty decent for the Leafs. My issue would be that the COL 1st rounder is basically our only big trade chip left and I'd rather try to keep that available for a higher end centre. Especially if we could get Raddysh to fill that RHD spot instead for zero assets (but...

I'm pretty skeptical considering the source (a social media user with no connections heard second hand information about a player "hearing" rumours") but Durzi does seem like someone who could be available and worth looking into. He's had back to back just ok seasons with Utah it seems (with...

I'd be open to a Laughton reunion but obviously that's a bit of a step down. Dickinson would likely be out there too but again that's another 3C and I'm not particularly crazy about him. Chayka might just have to pull a rabbit out of his hat for a centre though.

Sounds like something is in the works to make the final round easier to watch.
