Preds done for the season. Impressive that they held on as long as they did given all their injuries & trades. At least they managed to do their job of knocking out the Flames before fizzling themselves.
|
Far as I know, Preds as a franchise are for sale...seems like they didn't really go all in on spending the big bucks on their roster till that Weber for Subban trade in 2016...only for them to revert back to their frugal ways in 2019.
Whether they continue on the path of money ball tactics building teams good enough to scrape into the playoffs or go all in on serious contention hinges on the status of their ownership it seems.

I heard a guy just bought a 60% interest in the Preds.. a former Tenn. governor.. at leats he knows how to grease the government wheels! .. they might start loading up in UFA season now that ownership seems settled.

Dallas Eakins fired by Anaheim. I guess they think they will be good next season. When you look at the NHL coaching register among coaches that have coached 300+ games, he is one of the very worst on points % if you exclude anyone who coached those really horrible 70s and 90s expansion teams.
He has solid coaching numbers in the AHL though. I bet you he catches on somewhere for the AHL again before next season.

HIs job is done. He dug a hole for us to get McDavid. Only fan outrage pushed the Oilers management to fire him before he could get us dead last (lucky!). He managed a bigger one for the Ducks for a solid chance at Bedard.
I hope the Ducks get pushed for going Full Eakins personally.

Brilliant hockey mind who can really re-invent the game on the fly. Loved by media types in Toronto. What more do you need? I think a Sutter/Eakins tandem could be one for the ages!!!

Sounds like Tre was hanging out for a long time on the Lames bench chatting with all the players before their last game. Seems like something someone about to be replaced would do!
Sutter also has an $8M+ contract about to kick in for the next 2 years. Fire a guy before his extension even starts?!?

The real reason Holland traded Barrie. To get another player with an 85 game regular season on their stats
Stan Nieradka @smn013
#NHL STAT DU JOUR" Tonight #Smashville Tyson Barrie plays in his 85th game of the season, the first time someone has played that many since Rem Murray did it in 2002-03.

I dunno - they're still solid, have finished the season on a pretty incredible tear (not as great as ours, but not far off), and "know what it takes" to win. I'm glad we can't face them until the 3rd round (if we meet them at all).
Realistically, though, there's truly no "easy outs" in the Western conference this playoffs - I think the Oilers are capable of beating all 7 teams, but I also think each of the 7 teams could beat us. It's going to be nerve-wracking.

Not exactly the best season ending press conferences for a few Flames players....
-Lindholm indicated he's non-commital about re-signing in 2024
-Backlund the same
-Hubderdeau voiced his frustrations

Combine that with the fact that he actually played for the Flames and I think this is pretty much a done deal.
Wait, do the Flames care about having coaches that played for them?

Extending Sutter for multiple years is probably cause for dismissal for Treliving! Everything else he did last summer was near miraculous and so I'm thrilled to see him depart Calgary if he goes.
I do question WHY they extended Sutter. Didn't they have any exit interviews with Gaudreau and Tkachuk to figure out why they were leaving???

I thought Sutter was well loved by people above Treliving in the org which gives me the hope he could get in their ear and snap up that GM spot too. Fingers crossed!

Johnny Toews not going to be re-signed by Chicago.. before Bjugdstad got acquired I would have looked at him as a #3 center (if he weren't looking for money) .. think he'd sign for $1+ M anywhere for a chance at the Cup?

Sounds like DeBrincat is unlikely to extend with Ottawa. He is RFA with 1 year to go and has a 9M QO, lol. Guess he didn't really have to do that much this year with a 9M QO. Next season will be his big shot at the payday at a place of his choice as a UFA. Unless he doesn't get a QO, then he gets to pick his spot for his retirement contract show-me season.
We certainly can't afford to trade for him and give him 9M, but if he ends up UFA, what a nice pickup that would be for a year.
These bridge deals that end with a 2x spike in the last year to have a crazy QO are just brutal.

I was REALLY hoping that we would have drafted him during his draft year. At first I figured it was the McDavid effect, but then when he went ahead and scored a bunch of goals WITHOUT McDavid? That made him a no brainer to draft in my mind, regardless of his small stature.
I wonder if us signing Kane to that extension takes us out of the running for him though. Feels like it would be one or the other - both guys that will reliably put the puck in the net.

I didnt realize that even though the Avs won tonight and tied us with points with more overall wins that we would still be ahead in the standings because of more regulation wins. If we do end up facing them again this year then we will get the home ice advantage. Unless they get home ice advantage because they won their division.

https://dailyhive.com/edmonton/milan-lucic-thankful-flames-f ans
Some comments from Lucic being happy that his contract is up and a weight coming off him.
| Quote: |
You want to live up to the expectations of what you’re getting paid and all that type of stuff. I’m a proud person, you know? By no means do I feel like I didn’t earn it. I definitely did earn it. But to not be able to live up to it was definitely something that weighed on me day to day.
|
I've seen some comments from fans saying they wouldn't mind bringing him back on a cheap deal. Those fans are delusional. I hope that the Flames sign him for 2-3 years at 2.5M or something like that. He has been so reliablely bad that I love playing against him at this point. I know the buy out for Neal is annoying, but I'll never got bothered too much by it, since it was the cost to be able to pawn Lucic off onto the Flames. His comments about the Oilers leadership being too young after he went to Calgary (and saying how he liked the older leadership with Giordano) were infuriating and tone deaf, as he was supposed to be the veteran leadership, and proved to not have much ability in that area.
Now from a human standpoint, I am glad he feels better and I hope he does continue his career, just not for the Oilers.

He also said that it was just too dry in Edmonton and he had to spend all his time bathing himself in lotion before moving to the humid paradise that is Calgary...

Leafs pulling an Oilers & taking a bunch of undisciplined penalties & it's killing them. Do I feel bad for them? Nope!

I think the Leafs are going to win the series after this.

Samsonov said a couple days ago that the Leafs were the best team in the NHL. Someone forgot to tell him he plays for the Leafs.

Tampa has a plethora of injuries. Bunting likely getting a game for his head shot. What a punk.

Wow a few upsets.. well not that they lost but by how much..
Avs lose to Seattle 3-1.. figured Avs could handle the squids pretty easily.. a little surprised by this..
Tampa wollops Leafs 7-3.. I thought playoff TB could win but not light Leafs up for 7.. I dislike both teams..
and Vegas .. with Mark Stone back in the line up get lit for 5 -1 vs the Jets.. Yikes.. I thought Jets could win.. mainly because of Hellybuk.. if they kept it close.. but not pop in 5 goals!
Oilers 4-3 OT loss not looking as bad on the choke scale now..

Didn't expect those results when I woke up this morning. Home teams go 0-4 on the night. Visiting teams with 6 wins out of 8 game 1s.
Hopefully the last nights trends continue, and Monday's are reversed :)

Of course NOW Vegas finally loses a game, since we're no longer fighting with them for the division title...
REALLY didn't expect Seattle to beat the Avs either - I had Avs in 4 for that series.

I think the Jets were one of it not the best teams in the West record wise for the first half of the season then tanked the second half of the year. In any drafts I filled out, I had the Jets winning all day and after seeing last nights result, I think it could be in 5. I think Vegas is slow and Brossoit while being capable of being a decent back up at times, he's not a starter and isn't close.

Bunting gets 3 PLAYOFF games for that hit to the head? Wow.. seems harsh in comparison to past decisions.. what happens when a guy commits a real 1st degree hit to the head, or run from behind?

Didn't the refs and league decide they didn't like Bunting a couple months ago? Maybe he's their new Kadri?

Bunting has been a punk all year. He's probably been snarky with every ref in the league by now and is constantly starting crap out of nowhere. Wouldn't be surprised if Bunting set up that he would eventually make a hit like that with his yapping earlier in the game.
There is something about the Leafs team that seems to require they have 1 unhinged player. Kadri before, now Bunting. Maybe because there is such a deficit in players that mix it up with the opposition, 1 guy always ends up feeling like he has to compensate for 17 others.
