<font color=goldenrod>Oh fuck you Garth. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO</font>

Good pick by Isles

<font color=goldenrod>Pulock is ok. But I wanted Fucale. Especially since the Islanders literally used every pick on defensemen last year.</font>

They are drafting smart. Reinhart, Hamonic, Pullock, De Haan, MacDonald are a friggen solid core. Defence wins you games.

Leafs grab my guy Gauthier and trade for David Bolland! Hell fucking yes.

<font color=goldenrod>I still really wanted the Islanders to take Fucale. That's no knock on Pulock, who I think can be very good - I just feel the Isles already have a lot of depth at defense and they very much need to get a goalie of the future. Also a bit disappointed with giving up on Niederreiter so early. I know his agent had asked for a trade, but he was still young so I would have like for them to have tried and smoothed things over. The Islanders had a good offense last year, but they don't have much organizational offensive depth if people get hurt.</font>

You can never have too much depth on defence. Teams covet it. Plus it can easily be dealt for an established goaltender.

It only cost the Leafs a 2nd and Matt Frattin/Ben Scrivens for Jonathan Bernier.

Islanders bought out Rick DiPietro's contract today. ESPN compared that horrible contract to another from MLB.

Guaranteed about $1.5 million per year but won't count against the cap for the Islanders.

That is friggen ridiculous. Lol he'll be 47 by the time that's done.

Dear Panthers, Get Better Please!

Barkov and Huberdeau are going to be incredible together.

Huberdeau is pretty badass.

Not sure I like the idea of Daniel Alfredsson heading to the Boston Bruins.

Jarrett Stoll of the Kings suffered a seizure at his home. Pretty scary.

Bs-Stars pulled off a big 7-player trade today.

Bs get:
Loui Eriksson
Reilly Smith (prospect)
Matt Fraser (prospect)
Joe Morrow (prospect)

Stars get:
Tyler Seguin
Rich Peverley
Ryan Button

Bs had hinted going into the offseason they wouldn't have been able to keep Peverly for next season because the cap is too tight. Seguin getting traded was more due to him being owed too much money and some off-ice concerns more than him having a bit of a down year in terms of expectations.

Stars are going to benefit a lot with Seguin as long as they can quickly settle the issues with his off-ice stuff.

That is friggen nuts.

The Frase

Daniel Alfredsson signed a 1-year deal with the Red Wings.

Nathan Horton signed a 7-year, $37.1 million deal with the Blue Jackets.

I feel like the moves the Leafs are making are either gonna be extremely good or extremely bad.

Chiarelli better fucking do something here.

Steve Dangle whose Leafs podcast had a great line

The good news is, the Leafs have a lot of money to spend
The bad news is, the Leafs have a lot of money to spend.

Loooooove Clarkson. Big part of me wants Matt Cooke. Can you imagine the douchebag line of
Cooke-Bolland-Clarkson

I feel like there's enough toughness now without Cooke. Another proven goal scorer would be nice, but I feel like they're likely done for the most part.

Saw the cover of the Toronto Sun today was like "Thanks, Boston!" for trading Tyler Seguin. Like what fucking sense does that make? He's still a great player we don't have.

The Toronto Sun honestly writes like a bitter Leafs fan.

Cooke is a fantastic penalty killer

Free Agency Day? More like stare at a wall and be disappointed by the Avalanche day

although I don't know who they would've signed this year anyway

Lol that defense is rough. They gotta do something.

I would probably throw some offer sheets out there

Winnipeg has 4 million RFA's so offer Zach Bogosian something or something. Or Alex Pietrangelo from St. Louis.

why do they have this group of old dickheads talking about Daniel Alfredsson on this TV show?

You need your picks. That'd cost you multiple first rounders. The Avs are a couple years away.

Lol which show? I can't believe Alfie went to a division rival.

That's true, although I do love me some Pietrangelo

I actually thought they didn't have a first round pick this year anyway, but apparently they do. So that's good to know.

The Free Agent Frenzy show on TSN. They have a bunch of Canadian Sportswriters talking about Alfredsson and shitting on Tyler Bozak

(NHL Network here, but I assume that's TSN in Canada)

Fucking stupid tennis delaying Free Agent Frenzy on TSN. Reduced to watching The Score over here.

The Tim and Sid show is pretty solid. If I'm up early I watch them.

Pierre McGuire is a slit away from having a straight up penis head

Yeah, we take the free agent day and trade deadline VERY seriously up here in Canada lol

I feel like they should hire at least one interesting person for this next year

Who's on the panel? Bob McKenzie usually does it and he's always good as is Dreger.

the best part of this is the reporters in the background huddled up and tweeting
