NHL 2014-2015 Season

Also, if the Sabres get a goalie and some defence, watch out. They just traded for Ryan O'Reilly.

Apparently they balked at him wanting $5.5 million per.

Which is what he deserves at the very least. I don't get it.

Mitch Marner, not a center or a defenceman but apparently one of the most offensively gifted forwards in the draft apparently.

 

[Hewson]

Im having a hard time seeing what Boston's plan is here... ?

Apparently Don Sweeney's IQ matches his uniform number from his playing days.

Good thing the Patriots are who they are or I'd be in the Peef "I hate sports" category about now.

.

Correction: IQ is half his uniform number.

Apparently NYI caught whatever the Bruins have...

What an awful trade. I don't understand why you get rid of Hamilton. He's going to be a stud defenseman.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

We apparently want all the second round picks.

The islanders ditching Reinhart was so stupid.

On another note... it's so weird walking around the arena seeing these 18 year olds in suits all hoping to get drafted. From a fan's perspective it was so surreal. This thing... that I watch on TV every year. So casual. Very glad I suffered a four hour trip for what otherwise should've only been 2.5 hours has it not been for weather from hell... way worth it though.

I imagine it would be a constant conflict of wanting to root for your team but being perpetually stuck in a work flow meeting where all the summer students just drone on about their boring intern jobs.

"Yeah so Joe and I went for coffee and he asked me to file these papers in the filing cabinet, so I put them all into little piles based on which draw-"

"SHANNY! DO YOU FUCKING HEAR THIS KID? THE FUCK YOU THINKING WITH THIS PICK, THE TWO GOD DAMN BRAIN CELLS HE HAD RAN DOWN HIS MOMMA'S LEG, HE'S A GUARANTEED BUST, A GLUE FACTORY SPECIAL, WHAT THE FU-"



"Oh uhh...go Leafs go"

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Like I'm pretty sure Noah Hanifan and his mommy were parked right next to me. Or some potential draftee that looked similar. It was kinda really funny. They seem so much more grown up when they're dressed up and on tv but their respective mommies and daddies all drove them to the arena

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Oh by the way, it was some Canadian team's personnel... who the hell thanked "the city of Florida" for hosting the draft?

"-ugh, that was rude. So anyways I took all the papers, and some were from last week and some were from the week before, and some were even from, like, all the way back in May! Can you believe it? So like, I figured out which week goes into which pile, and then wompawompawompa"

Peter Chiarelli Is So Grateful To The City Of Florida For Hosting The NHL Draft - Barstool Sports

Damn, I know they only started talking about expansion yesterday but I think they may already be getting out of hand with some of the ideas...

In the wonderful words of the poster of the video, aptly named Barstool Chief, "anyone else and that’s a huge fuck up. For the guy who traded Tyler Seguin and gave out a million no movements it’s simply Friday."

 

[PhilsFan]

Feels like the Flyers made out like bandits on the first day, which is a nice change of pace. Count me in on the Hexy bandwagon.

And he still looks like Einstein in comparison to his successor.

For a minute I thought you were talking about Barstool Chief.

WE GOT A THlRD ROUND PICK FOR ZAC FUCKING RINALDO. RON HEXTALL YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN

If the ice is feeling too crowded and you want someone in the penalty box, Rinaldo's your man.

 

[PhilsFan]

Zac Rinaldo is an embarrassment - Broad Street Hockey

Never forget.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Sounds like all Hextall needs to do now is somehow trade Andrew McDonald and you'll build a statue to him on your front lawn.

 

[Hewson]

Well Sweeney flipped Martin Jones to San Jose for a 2016 first rounder and a prospect, so in essence he got 2 first rounders and 2 prospects for Lucic, so that move looks good.

The other 3 moves, notsomuch, especially since Hamilton just signed for an AAV of $5.75M. Hard to believe that was deemed too high by the B's brass.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

that whole thing just seems so fucking stupid. I can only take the "bad attitude" and "issues in the room" excuses so many times, I mean Kessel isn't exactly the poster boy for effort, I get that and Seguin likes to party but I mean, come on, who doesn't.

There comes a time where you have to start wondering if other parts of the group should start to change... Don't get me wrong, I would have no problem with winning the cup and making it to the finals in the past couple of years but still.

 

[PhilsFan]

Sounds like all Hextall needs to do now is somehow trade Andrew McDonald and you'll build a statue to him on your front lawn.

MacDonald might be too difficult to move this offseason, but I figure they can find someone for him by 2017, when he only has three years left. But if he can rid them of either Umberger (two years left at $4.6 million per) or Lecavalier (three years left at $4.5 million per) before the season starts he'll have pulled off a miracle offseason.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Yeah. I mean I can see it being a deciding factor all things even...

I can also see it as a reason to not want young guys. But older, rich paid players who are still performing with sand in their pants or whatever... unless they're creating a poisonous environment in their locker room, that talk is overrated. I can't speak for Kessel in specific because I don't really follow that situation too much. But in general.

 

[PhilsFan]

Chicago has traded Brandon Saad to Lumbus because they're concerned that a Mystery Team is going to submit an offer sheet they can't afford to match.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I'd be Saad if I were him.
