The only way I see them missing is if the Atlantic teams show up big time. Ottawa starts performing with Ullmark, habs take a big step up, Buffalo makes a crazy deal and becomes legit. Leafs, Tampa, Boston are locks. Florida is in that category but IF all that happens and they lose core pieces + cup hangover, maybeeeee. Like 5% chance. I wouldn’t count on it
I just want to be able to place tents on the ground. A single pebble and.. NOPE.
It’s a missed opportunity. - most broken sticks - most falls in a season - most posts - most KM’s skated
Hell they could even make it a funny awards night and invite a bunch of random NHL players. NHL PR is brutal
Name one player that’s injured more people with his shot.. that’s what I thought.
LEGENDARY STAT
I feel like Okposo is the kind of guy you have a fireside chat with for hours and the time just flies by. Total dad, makes a mean burger too. Kind of dude to hand you a frosty beer right as you empty your old one.
Probably not Carter Hart though.
Some ELI5 the Canes cap situation? If they’re risking losing Turbo, why would they be shopping Necas as well?
Nurse I get, but Ceci had been good at his cost no?
Fixes to HUT are simple. Balance the game with updates and be transparent about them like League of Legends does. Show the % changes, buffs and nerfs, and remove the god damn ice tilt. Stop giving an advantage to new players so they buy more shit. Let them learn the hard way. They’ll end up spending more to get their team up to par so that they can be competitive.
Be a pro: worst game mode, should be the best. Coach talking to you 5x a game & saying the same thing… It’s unplayable. Every shift is “I need a goal” or “we need to play defence”.. I just want to play and I have no change in incentive. It’s always the same old shit. Let me play, and if you interrupt me, make it worth my while when I’m interested to listen. I mean even when you Manager talks to you.. “Hey a wildlife foundation wants…” 15x in a row is awful. How hard is it to use AI to create dialogue patterns that spice things up? Make conversations meaningful, add a skills competition to this mode to gain abilities, have interactions with more than just one player, have seasonal challenges that give X factor upgrades and let me pick from options, a section that lets you to say what players you like and don’t like on the team which affects the roster if you’re important enough, he’ll let us be selected for the olympics and play for our country even! Give us variety and MAKE UPDATES SO IT DOESNT GET STALE.
Franchise: actually not terrible this year. I’d like to see stuff like cap dumps, maybe even multiplayer franchise where you and your buddies can trade with each other. Maybe a HUT mode where it’s more like fantasy hockey where theres only one of each player.
This is how you transport injured who can’t sit upright. It’s common in military situations to evac someone on the hood like this especially if the cars are full. Fucking Palestine supporters, just be critical of things once in a while. Y’all believe everything you see and make it fit your narrative. Both sides are insufferably arrogant
Best we can do is take him and KK and call it’s future considerations
“Hello Velcome to Tim Horton. I may take order now.”
“One Edmonton Oilers doughnut and a double double please!”
“Egg McMuffin no oil with double cheese?”

I think it’s three stages rather than just prospects as a whole.
Stage 1 is “will this player turn into a 2 way NHL top 6 guy?”. Guys in this category are Leo Carlson, Shane Wright, etc. We’ve also seen guys be in this category and not leave as the question hasn’t been answered such as KK.
If this has been established as yes, we move into “can they become ELITE 2 way forwards in the league?” These guys are 22-26 and getting better every year. Think Suzuki, Thomas, Jarvis.
Once they have established this, it becomes “can they be as good as Kopitar/Bergeron?” Guys in this category are Barkov, Danault, Hintz
An overpay on a guy like Necas, with the cap going up, would be above 9M. Anything in the 7-8.5 range is fair value. We aren’t competing yet and in 2-3 years that will be a steal.
Habs are about to trade all the prospect for new prospects only to trade all the prospect for new prospects again in 2028
Martin Necas. People seriously under estimate how good he is. He was tossed down the lineup all season because their top 6 was Aho, Guentzel, Svech, Teravainen, Jarvis, Staal. Necas was playing with Jack Drury (who?) and Martinook.
The year before he put up 71 points in 82 games. This year on the up and down the line up, he put up 53. Suzuki career high 77 and Caufields best is 65.
This is EXACTLY the player you trade for. His value is low after a down season to extend at a reasonable rate, he’s the same age as Nick and he’s able to produce NOW in our top 6. This closes our compete window by a lot.
I’ve got Josh Andersson, Joel Armia, Mike Matheson and Jordan Harris. All I request is a slightly used Timo Meier.
PM, I can just blow the wall down with some grenades and you can build it back up quickly right after. 10 minute ordeal
I have no idea why Greentree is ranked where he is. If we get him at 26 that’s a Caufield level steal of watching a player drop
The second you put on a plate carrier your stamina is cut in half. Stupid but he’s likely closer to a quarter
Had a guy tell me his criminal record was clean, it was not. He had 3 full pages of Aggravated Assault and Domestic Violence charges. He was fired.
Had another guy tell me he has a armed robbery charge because he stole a pizza 14 years ago. Checked out. Guess who I pushed through to hire?
Necas > Laine > Kakko > a bag of pucks > Zegras
