2019-2020 NHL Thread

This was brought up on twitter by Justin Bourne (so I won't take credit for the thought), but that kinda looks WORSE than the Sens.

I don't know about that. The defense is a mess, sure, but the Red Wings are returning a couple of 30 goal scorers and a couple more guys at 20+. The only returning Sen with 20 goals was Tkachuk. Beyond that it's Bobby Ryan at #2 with 15.

Speaking of terrible teams...

Wings going full pain, supposed to be a loaded draft this year. Apparently they have just one first-round pick in the last five years on their roster, everyone else is down in Grand Rapids. Definitely reminds me of our tank year: protect the young players, structure and discipline on the big club and lose a bunch by one goal. That's the way to do it, props to Yzerman.

I know it was only preseason but the Wings looked horrendous against the Leafs. Outshot 2-1 in both games.

The only two players claimed here were Comrie to Arizona (because they can never have too many goalies) and Dahlstrom to Winnipeg (because they need more medicore defencemen).

Edmonton not claiming anybody considering their wing depth is downright hilarious.

I mean Petan would have been an upgrade in Edmonton. Weird for sure.

I would have trampled all over Petan trying to get to Ho-Sang or Sprong if I was the Oilers.  Mind-boggling they wouldn't try for either.

Yeah there were guys available for them to roll the dice on, maybe Holland is secretly going for Lafreni?re or Byfield.

I mean, they have a guy in Tyler Benson who's 21 and was a PPG player last year in the AHL. If they're not giving him a real shot it seems unlikely that they'd import another team's version of that guy.

Hard to say how the league would officially recognize that if it happens. Does a game missed when he doesn't have a SPC break the streak? It's not like there's anywhere to list him as a scratch.

Of course it ends. Otherwise there are hundreds of players presently extending their streak by not playing

I mean if Doug Jarvis wanted to lace up his skates for another game to get his streak to 965 I'd give it to him.

I'm just going to leave this here:

McDavid is coming off a pretty horrifying knee injury, so I don't think he's even 100% yet.

Hello Edmonton, who I am now reminded is a cap team (lol).

Oops, he did it again.  The first iteration (& subsequently second) of the Coleman flip shot:
