Shut the gently caress up. No one asked you.

But seriously thank you for the kind words.

Somebody has to do the scoring around here.
That's an awesome deal as long as he keeps doing what he did last year.

Absolutely amazing in the last 3 years of that deal if so.

Is Travis Hamonic any good anymore? I remember him seeming like a guy everyone loved a couple years ago but seems his stock has fallen quite a bit. I’d imagine Schmidt+Hamonic would be better than Tanev+Stetcher?

Getting Marino for a deal like that seems like a good gamble, only a rookie season so far but a pretty darn good one.

Pretty much.

But a one year deal for around a million is good depth/value for this silly season.

As a Calgary fan I thought he was okay. At the price they picked him up for it’s a good deal. He’s not a liability on the ice and can do good but don’t expect a lot.

There are currently six NHL teams without captains:

Boston Bruins (vacated by Zdeno Chara's recent departure)
Detroit Red Wings (vacant since Henrik Zetterberg's 2018 retirement)
New Jersey Devils (vacated by Andy Greene's deadline trade to the Isles in 2020)
New York Rangers (vacant since Ryan McDonagh was traded to the Lightning in 2018)
Ottawa Senators (vacant since Erik Karlsson's departure in 2019)
Vegas Golden Knights (never named a captain)

Which of these roles get filled this month, and by who?

Boston will put in Bergeron no question.
I think Vegas will do Stone.

The others I don't think will fill a spot. Maaaaybe Detroit and Larkin.

Yeah Bergeron has been the captain in waiting for the Bruins for like a decade at this point, he'll be the captain once they feel like they've left the position vacant a respectful amount of time

Kreider’s name gets thrown around a lot but I still think NYR waits around to name a captain...still too many question marks. Probably same with NJD, if not maybe Hischier?

Bergeron is almost certainly going to get it.

Is Mark Borowiecki still on the Sens?

No, he signed in Nashville because David Poille is a bad GM.

The primary concern with Perry is the wear and tear on the rest of your team when they need to cover for him being ejected the rest of the game.

For most teams this isn't a big deal because he would normally only get 3-4 minutes but Montreal has a history of penciling old and busted guys for 15 a game.

drat, I was close. Only 6 hours off. 5 if you're speeding.

Just going to pad his stats so the Leafs can get some value out of him at the deadline. Ya know, send him to a team that is playoff bound for some picks.

Putting the passing god with one of the best shooters in the league isn’t the wildest idea. Going north to south might be a little rough, though.

I’m interested to see how the trade deadline shakes out with border restrictions and quarantines. Can’t imagine many trades between US and Canadian teams if the players have to quarantine 2 weeks before joining their new team.

Yeah, and the Canadian teams aren't likely to trade with each other because they are in the same division. At least not until one is eliminated from the playoffs and willing to trade with another still in the hunt.
