>Scott Gomez fired
>Brashear popped for Cocaine
any other exciting offseason news??
Oh no no no no no!
there is one blues fan here and I doubt you are him
how the fuck do you pop for cocaine?
he was arrested for something else and had cocaine on him
he was climbing into a broken window somewhere
tsn.ca
>Former National Hockey League enforcer will appear in a Quebec City courtroom on a cocaine possession charge on September 4, reports Le Journal de Montreal.
>The veteran of over 1,000 NHL games was arrested on June 5 after allegedly breaking an apartment window and was found to have the drug in his possession.
>Brashear, 47, previously appeared in court on August 12.
>Making his NHL debut in 1993-94 with the Montreal Canadiens, Brashear went on to appear in parts of 16 seasons with the Habs, Vancouver Canucks, Philadelphia Flyers, Washington Capitals and New York Rangers. His 2,634 penalty minutes in 1,025 career games are 15th-most all-time.
>This was not the Bedford, IN native's first brush with the law.
>In 2000, Brashear was charged with common assault in Vancouver, pleading guilty to putting his hands around the neck of a man at his residence's exercise facility following an argument over the presence of Brashear's young son. He received a conditional discharge.
>In 2012, Brashear was convicted in a parking lot assault following a March 2011 Ligue Nord-Americaine de Hockey playoff game.

You don't:
>Will the NHL suspend Kuznetsov too?
Probably not. Compared to other North American sports leagues (and WADA), the NHL is pretty hands-off when it comes to recreational drugs — or "drugs of abuse," as it calls them.
Under the rules of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the players' union, team-wide drug tests are conducted once during training camp and again during the regular season. Individual players can be randomly tested during the season and playoffs, and up to 60 can be randomly tested in the off-season.
But the focus of these tests is on detecting performance-enhancing drugs. Players' urine samples are also checked for recreational drugs, including cocaine and marijuana, but they're not prohibited. If someone tests positive for these, the lab reports it to a Performance Enhancing Substances Program committee, which is made up of union and league officials. But this is done on a "survey" basis only — meaning no one is named.
The only exception is if a "dangerously high level" of a recreational drug is found. Then a program doctor is allowed to learn the player's identity and contact him for an explanation. If the doctor isn't satisfied, he refers the player to the Substance Abuse and Behavioural Health Program for "mandatory evaluation and treatment."
That's it. The CBA doesn't say anything about fines or suspensions for testing positive for recreational drugs. The priority is on treatment, not punishment. So it's unlikely Kuznetsov will be forced to miss any games with the Capitals. He should also be OK for the World Cup of Hockey, which is on course to happen again in 2021. That event is run by the NHL and the players' union. The IIHF isn't involved.

Find a new meme, autist. He's not even in the league anymore.
holy mother of based
i just wanted to use that image in a post
no you don't, your an autist spamming a shit player that isn't even in the nhl.
Will Bulju EVER awaken?
MAD
AT
WATER
mad at a shit general that can't come up with memes anymore.
lmao this canadaautist MALDING
Yes, when he finally reunites with Sepe
oilers still have his rights so TECHNICALLY, he's more in the league than (you) are
Fucking miss Denmark desu boys.
seething as FUCK lad
seek help
You are so lame and cringe.
Wanna take a weekend trip to Denmark and bring him back?
>using player nicknames when you've never even skated
CRINGE
Yes I am absolutely sick of seeing that Finnish retards face every 30 seconds.
reminder:
kakko = goat
j. hughes = bust
I absolutely would, but I fear rejection.
I know it's scary, I feel so too. But isn't it worse to live in the unknown?
>when you side with a bunch of circle jerking european twinks because you'll never be canadian
Now I'm worried you're just doing this to get me to post more Buljus. Maybe I'll keep talking about him but not post pictures of him. That way if you are truly a seething autist you'll remain upset, but if you're a sneaky guy trying to trick me into posting your favorite player, you won't get to see him as much.
kaapo hughes < jack kakko
but i have skated before. not in years but i have skated
He's in jail for molesting his daughter
if you can't bar down a wrister from the blue you can't post here
for me it's jacko kaghes
I guess you're right.. I really do want him back.
is it normal to get a hard on when i see a qt hockey grill attempt to flex her stick after doing a tape job?
literal cumbrain
DUDE did you see sepe's EPIC storm surge CELLY last night. SO fucking hilarious how he did that dance from fortnite, I was watching it on my switch from outside my wifes hip hop spin class, while eating sezchuan flavoured beyond meat.
Go canes!
>favorite player
Sorry, I'm not mentally retarded.
they should bring bulju onto the panel to replace kypreos. one retard for another.
I heard a coworker unironically use the word yeet yesterday and it hurt my head. Am I getting old? Also, why is there 'no meat' patties everywhere?
>"I only shoot and score then you score then will come"
repeated countlessly thoughout the game
what are you american?
because people feel bad about killing animals, but are unaware that farming kills more animals than meat consumption.
>Draisaitl on Puljujarvi: 'It seems like he doesn't want to be on our team'
How about we wait until the season starts. If he's not back by then, we go?
I have this sexual fantasy that I move to USA and I meet some people of my age. After few days we start to talk about geography. One of the women is really slutty. She says that if I can name at least 45/50 states, she will suck me off. At this moment I open some US states quiz with 10 minutes timer. I start doing the quiz and imagine those people gazing at me becayse I can name so many states! Tennessee, Arkansas, Ohio...states flying left and right! The thot who clearly said the thing as a joke starts to get pale and nauseous. I haven't showered for a couple of days of course. Georgia, Wisconsin, Oklahoma...She starts to exclaim that it was just a joke but her less slutty friends are telling her that a deal is deal. Iowa, South Carolina aaaaand Oregon! There we go! At that point of my fantasy, I allow myself to fap and picture the blowjob in my mind.
the league is better when bulju is playing in it.
>'no meat' patties
It's the latest health food craze and I've also seen articles complaining that it tastes too much like meat, and that if we want to get the big bad meat eaters to stop eating real meat, the fake meat can't taste or feel like real meat.
But somehow edmonton's retard gm can't see it.
seek help
it is actually pretty good, but pretending its healthy is retarded when you consider how many chemicals it takes to get beans to taste and look like meat.
he can see it too but hes probably not willing to trade a valueless faggot like pulju
The GM knows full well and has even sat down face to face with Pulju and said that Pulju could only repeat what his agent was saying. That boy really is retarded.
Aho didn't do the faggot dance it was that cocksucker Dougie
GOOD post
it's not the agent who doesn't want to play in edmonton. It's Pulju. Lmao fucking retard canada.
high level autism
I think edmonton oilers is shitty organization to develop ice hockey players. they also suck dicks because they are homosexuals
pulju doesnt have high enough brain function to know what he wants. his agent just makes every decision for him including what socks he wears.
>agent says pulju doesn't want to play in oilers
>pulju says he doesn't want to play in oilers
>he only repeat his agent t.canada
does his agent decide when bulju faps?
you spelled Europe wrong dumbass
i doubt the retard has the brainpower or coordination to fap
I'm sure his agent isn't concerned that his 21 year old 3rd overal pick client is making zero headway in the league while players of similar age are being paid 8-12 million dollars. I'm sure the agent isn't concerned that Puljus next contract will be for a million bux per year and therefore will only get paid about 10,000 because of that. I'm sure the agent doesn't care about money.
no one wants to play in edmongolia desu
Pulju had all the opportunity in the world to learn english and play with the best player in the league, but he is just too stupid to play in the nhl.
Holland literally said in the interview that he sat down face to face with Pulju for an hour, an Pulju literally just repeated his agents talking points verbatim. There was no personal discussion, it was literally his agents talking points word for word.
Hi. I just wanted to say that I hate Canada and Finland and I love USA and Sweden
>Scott Gomez was finally fired
Maybe the power play is better this season? Team needs a zucker/toffoli player and could offload a player like leddy/boychuck
He is as intelligent as a parrot, has no thoughts of his own, and can only repeat english phrases.
This. Like if you can't even hack it playing with Connor Mcdavid, you probably shouldn't be in the NHL.
kotka can only say "pretty mint" and he's fine
Can't wait until delusional islanders fans disperse.
>Pulju saying things he had earlier said via his agent
are you pretending to be idiot?
kotka is based
So pulju was actually a planned weapon to destroy edmonton? A some sort of revengr from Finland to Edmonton? What could be the cause?
Minneapolis is the best city in the United states of America.
he can't even speak english
not even the best city in minnesota
he seems pretty fluent here
This is my pee
Ofc a leaf thinks Duluth isn't a terrible souless city
>cold and miserable
>somalis everywhere
>bumfuck nowhere
>trees
wow feels just like home
no that's boise
Are you?
Can you not infer what it means when all Pulju can do is literally repeat word for word what his agent also says? That he can't even put it into his own words, he is literally just parroting what his agent is telling him to say? That Pulju was completely incapable of having an individual, personal conversation with the general manager? That pulju was too stupid to be capable of having a conversation in english? Do you understand?
Quit making excuses for him. He's obviously a shit player who made no attempt to adapt to north america, just cried because he wasn't handed everything on a silver platter. I'd be embarrassed to support him in this battle, he's obviously on the wrong side. He's an embarrassment to the current crop of Finnish players coming into the league. A whiny little faggot who has a primadonna attitude despite accomplishing nothing.
Aren't the the ones that elected that communist musim bitch to congress? The one that openly hates america?
Imagine sitting down to talk to a retard like Pulju.
So Jesse, we'd like to talk to you about your performance and how that correlates to a new contract with us.
> I am skate and score to get the goal
Yes, actually thats the problem, you've really seemed to struggle at scoring at this level, and your agent has told us you don't want to go back to the ahl to try to reset and regain your scoring touch.
>I shoot the puck and score, bonaqua ay yoy yoy yoy yoy
You've also refused the english lessons we've provided for you.
>XD PERKELE I go to play at the hockey and want to play in nhl am try to shoot score
>beautiful lakes everywhere
>nice people
>good and cheap public transport
>most bikable city in america
>relatively cheap rent
>great university
I don't care about meme politics and Minnesota has relatively low taxes
talking to bulju irl must be like trying to talk to spurdo
>rags
>actually writing all that
lmao. Just admit you were idiot for complaining that Pulju said what he has been saying all alone
"I DON'T WANT TO PLAY IN THAT SHITHOLE THEY CALL EDMONTON"
drink more water motherfucker
can bulju still make a living playing hokkei or will he have to retire and become a wageslave?
Go fuck yourself you fucking little finnish faggot.
why do canadian snowbirds love coming down here in their RVs?

Impossible. The alt-right literally can't stop seething about everything, it's the only thing that makes them feel alive at this point.

But wouldn't it make more sense to go to the worst polluting countries on earth and convince them to change? Instead of going to countries that already bend over backwards to reduce emissions? Wouldn't that make more sense?
LOVE sweden
Yes, that's why she went to the US
LOVE swedofinns, dislike swedes.
gotta work your way up, north-america and europe are more receptive to her message, she can earn big points by creating a movement in the west before turning east
Ah, so you're retarded, I understand.
I wonder why us cities pollution index is much lower than Chinese cities pollution index even tho we produce alot of co2 just like them. Is our pollution just in highways
>are more receptive to her message
What do you mean? Are you telling me that China, Africa, and the Middle East don't want to be lectured by a 16 year old girl?
It's pretty clear you don't understand anything and are now crying like a babby.
to her message user, her message, about safeguarding the environment for future generations, stop your obsession about the 16 yo grill
We have alot of policies and controls on emissions that china does not follow
CO2 emissions could be reduced significantly if they stopped trying to make ice rinks in the sunbelt.
Wrong

beauvilliar signed a 2.1 million 2 year extension. Islanders also have all their RFA's signed
stop grammar policing my posts please.
the US has a population of less than 330 million, yet according to this graph it emits as much CO2 as all 750 million europeans combined. china might have exploded massively, but they're still way, way below the US per-capita wise. of course it makes total sense to go to the most gas-guzzling nation on earth with a president who is in literal denial to protect the economic interests of large corporations.
*that is multiplied by 10
these scandanavians are pissing me the fuck off today.
She won't change anything desu. This country runs on cars
literally no one gives a fuck
i don't think per-capita matters in this. I mean if Finland would lead per-capita pollution it still wouldn't mean shit in big picture.
hes an RFA. reminder if your team still has RFA's to sign then go kill yourself
oh wow maybe marner will be signed now
same
finland also has about as many people as minnesota. gulf nations have even higher consumption rates than the us, but they're also relatively small on a global scale.
rude
That's why your little shit stains of countries population 5 million people should in no way whatsoever be dictating to the the rest of the world how to go about their business. Ya great, you can run a socialist paradise because you have so few people. Just because your system works for 5 million people does not mean it's going to work in countries with 100 million+
>Killing yourself because Zoomers are zooming

Do you think Varlamov will replace Lehner's numbers?
youtube.com
That's why we who live in countries where the amount of pollution is a piss in the ocean need to stop flying, stop driving cars, have the highest gas prices in the world, stop eating meat, kill all cows, murder farmers, move to a bigger city etc etc.
We are the chosen people who are going to save the planet (sic).
deep breaths now
varlamov could get a .915 average probably so he isnt gonna put up lehner tier numbers as an older and more fragile goalie. However, he will have the benefit of a good defense and trotz to help him out. Again, the last thing on the checklist for the islanders is a top 6 winger i.e zucker or toffoli
He's a brainwashed bootlicker who is fortunate enough to live far enough north that he doesn't have to deal with any of the bullshit that southern members of the EU have to deal with. He reaps all the benefits of the EU while suffering none of the negatives. He is white privilege defined.
>that he doesn't have to deal with any of the bullshit that southern members of the EU have to deal with
Wtf are you on about Canacuck? Where the fuck do you think all the african and middle eastern scum wants to go? They literally travel hundreds of miles illegally just so they can parasitize on welfare and eventually let their whole fucking family come here.
You don't know shit about Europe.
Must be nice to live in a country smaller than most states. It's hard for Euros to understand the need to drive phenomenon for Americans, especially because we don't always live near our stores or workplaces and sure as hell can't rely on public transport.

It's a bit sad that CHL counts as a pre-season tournament in Sweden. But at least I will be in the stands for this one.
will you yell at the players to shoot the puck?
Yes. I always do that. The difference between an SHL game and an CHL game is that they will be able to hear me on friday when I shout a loud ''for fucks sake' when they shoot the puck right in the stomach of the goalie, and when this guy fail fumbles with the puck after a easy pass for the fifteenth time.

No. He has god-like skating, speed and a good shoot, but he can't recieve a tape-to-tape pass without losing the puck and his hockey IQ is in the negative. And his fucking salary is like an albatross around the neck of the club.
Most Finns are retarded but not being able to learn basic english when they you have obligatory english at least 3 times a week from 3/4th grade up through 12th is another level of retardation.

already talked about this, but hes a good player and a young one also. Top 6 winger potential if he can keep his production up. Still concerned that LL hasnt made a trade yet for a winger that can help out the 2nd line
I really doubt it, but I'm open minded
Business idea: make a new sport just like soccer only not gay
based
Maybe because nobody wants your garbage players
how? bench brawls?
players are suspended for diving
gay shorts not allowed
shoulder hitting is encouraged
no manlets
no yuros
fighting is 5 minute penalty
>nobody wants your garbage players
or LL doesnt do trades as much as the average GM. Leddy, boychuck, hickey, and some of the prospects are pretty favorable to have even if leddy has a weird contract. Besides that, keep seething lafftard
1. make the fucking field smaller, and reduce the players per team -- having guys just lazily walking along with the ball because the nearest defender is 30 feet away is fucking insulting
2. change the timekeeping -- no more of this "counting upwards" shit, just adding vague amounts of extra time at the end, and just having the ref end the game whenever
3. change all of the rules in favor of precision -- the clock stops when it goes out-of-bounds, add proper replays and reviews, add challenges, etc.
4. find some way to make the game faster -- maybe the players could play on a frozen surface with skates, or use a smaller ball with some sort of tool that allows them to pass and shoot it more quickly
wait a minute
>Boychuck
35 years old
>Leddy
28
>Hickey

Do you honestly believe any of these players are worth a 2nd line forward?
you're really on to something here fellas
yes. Leddy has upside still and boychuck is le leadership D-man
But then it's not soccer, it's something actually enjoyable.
hes a fucking weeb of course he doesn't know jack shit about hockey
i watch my team and I know whos worth trading away. we hear this every fucking day from you
>Leddy has upside still
What? at 28 years old? He is what he is. A 4-6 defenceman.
>my garbage is worth your top six player
Yeah you don't know shit, I will ask you if I ever need to know which japanese cartoon child is the most fuckable
this is the only thread I can think of that I would trust with the re imagining of divegrass
However, I still don't think that is worth it, of even wise idea
>Let's see of visual aids, ladies
You obviously don't, because no GM in their right mind would give up a top 6 forward for aging defencemen. Youre a fucking homer.
have another drink ray you're still somewhat coherent
ah yes the wild/kings wouldnt want a older defenseman on their team
That's a meme response and you know it, fuckwit.
>Do you honestly believe any of these players are worth a 2nd line forward?
Just gotta find a GM as braindead as Paul Fenton who will go along with something as bad as giving up Nino Niederreiter for Victor Rask.
and that is also
It seems like Isles fans are convinced that their entire roster is made up of diamonds in the rough who are bound to have a breakout year any season now.
They seem like a bunch of hard workers, sure, but I think it's time to admit that at least a bunch of them are just mediocre.
Paul Fenton doesn't have a job anymore.
Nino is a career underachiever and if you prorate the # of games played to make it even, he and Rask basically have the same amount of points. That trade is a wash. Good for Nino he went to a new team and finally showed some consistency. Shame he'll regress back to normal next season.
Based
I dont think they are diamonds in the rough, but more they do their job and have the right coach and the right system. Trotz really likes the 4th line and I think hes given barzal a 2 way game after being just a pure offensive player with tavares in 2018. Thats why his production took a dip. The real diamond in the rough is found in defense with guys like toews who was a pretty good late round pickup and could've been a calder candidate if dahlin and heiskanen didnt debut this year
im having shrimp for dinner
They have 1 decent young player in Barzal, if you actually look at their team it is FULL of players in their late 20's and early 30's. They over acheived hard last season and are going to have a hard time of it in the next few years. It's fucking obvious.
But hey Eberle just turned 29, surely that 100 point breakout season is just around the corner.
>Paul Fenton doesn't have a job anymore.
Yes, and "as braindead as" means to evoke a comparison, user.
>That trade is a wash.
I've honestly never seen anyone anywhere online try to defend that trade before. I can double-check his numbers, but it seems like Nino is a lot better, especially recently.
Plus, don't forget that Rask slashed his hand with a kitchen knife about a year ago. I can't claim to have watched his stickhandling after the trade, but all of the news from before that while he was recovering made it seem like he wouldn't be the same after the injury.
>100 point breakout for eberle
hes getting like 60-70 at most
he shouldn't have been so rask with that knife
:^)
>le jerks xd
Nino went to Carolina and put up 30 points in 36 games. He has never in his entire career been close to that and I doubt he will be that next season. I'm not defending it because I really don't care, but that trade was not some kind of bamboozle where the Canes managed to steal a superstar out from Minnesotas nose. It's average player for average player. Nino is not shit.

hmm, i still haven't decided.
>all those years I picked him up as a late round fantasy pick as my 3rd goalie because "surely this is the year he bounces back"

>I'm not defending it because I really don't care
Not trying to accuse you of anything, lad. I was just surprised by the take.
Always happy to have an actual conversation about hockey.
I think my biggest contention wouldn't be that Nino is amazing, but that Rask is a bum who's managed to coast along and just convince people that he's good enough. It's as if they don't look too closely at him now because he's just conditioned everyone not to expect greatness from him, so they just assume that he's average instead of really examining him and realizing that he's kind of bad.
>[obscure prospect] has top6 potential
LFC, but only because my mom got me a jersey when she went to England when I was a small child. I check their scores and watch maybe 1-2 games per year.
name 6 teams that think like this
Could say something similar about Nino
>so they just assume that he's average instead of really examining him and realizing that he's kind of slightly above average
Everyone has potential, user.
You've just gotta believe in yourself, work hard, hang onto your dreams, and remember that mommy and daddy love you no matter what.
weebs are gay
literally any one who wants to sound like a hocproscout
The Rags are currently over loaded with top 6 prospects, so much so that some of them will need to start the season in the AHL. Lias Andersson being the main one.
>
they have terrible center depth
He didn't leave me with that impression, but we're just going off of impressions and vague expectations for the future, so I guess we'll see.
Yes but only because the prospects expected to become top 6 centres are just kids and not big enough for the position yet
does someone who understands the cba know if the soilers retain buljus right indefinitely? other teams had RFAs who didnt accept the qualifying offer from their team became UFA after a certain time. why is bulju different?
Who are the best left handed play makers?
I don't recall any players that this has been the case with recently. Everything I've read said that since they qualified him, they own his rights indefinitely.
Me
someone like ben hutton, im pretty sure i read about a few others too. he is under 27, hasnt played 7 pro years, and a RFA. the canucks and him couldnt come to terms and at the start of august his qualifying rights expired and he is now a UFA. is it different for players coming off an elc?
what would you change your team's goal song to if given the chance
Myself
Reminder he predicted the Blues to win
I'd probably just steal Florida's.
>youtube.com
And I
>ben hutton
A simple google search shows that the Canucks didn't give him a qualifying offer, so he became an UFA.
>couldnt come to terms
They didn't even qualify him, because they felt they could sign a different player for less than the minimum they would have had to pay him was.
so they do own his rights indefinitely? and that means he declined their offer?
I don't think you understand what a UFA is.
>Bjugstad, Greenway, Thompson, Myers, Paryako, Hedman, Logan Brown
Where did all these tall fucks come from? Why didn't they choose volleyball or someshit instead of hockey?
no i dont fully understand how qualified rfas work. thats why i asked.
I'm a guy and I wish I could be pregnant.
I think pregnancy is wonderful. I know it's not all lollipops and rainbows. I supported my wife every single day through her pregnancy and I helped her through the nausea, the body aches, and the terrible pain of giving birth. I know there are risks and complications and it's not something everyone wants to do. I wish I could do it, though.
My wife and I agreed we wanted a baby as soon as we had a house. Thankfully, she was able to become pregnant (I really feel for the women who can't have babies and wish they could) and we now have a toddler who is an absolute joy.
She loved being pregnant. Every day we talked about the baby growing in her womb that we couldn't wait to meet. I kissed her belly hundreds of times. And I fell in love with her all over again every time I looked at her. Her hand was pretty much glued to her belly, always rubbing it and humming a song. The bond that is formed between the mother and child is simply beautiful.
The hardest part about it is that I'll never be able to realize this wish and I never had a choice in the matter. Women can choose (in most cases) whether or not they want to become pregnant. And I don't know how the logistics of it all would work, anyway. Maybe if we lived in a world where both men and women were built with the capability to have babies, kind of like seahorses. I know it's not realistic, but if it were possible to give me a uterus transplant I'd consider it. I would gladly take menstruation and menopause if it meant I could get pregnant.
A team owns an RFAs rights indefinitely, so long as they give him a qualifying offer, and so long as the player does not have arbitration rights.
Hutton had arbitration rights, so the Canucks could have qualified him, declined the offer, and taken them to arbitration and let an independent judge decide what he should be paid. At that point, the Canucks can either accept the arbiters ruling and sign the player, or reject it, letting the player become a UFA.
The Canucks skipped that whole process, and instead didn't even qualify him, leading him to become a UFA. They obviously felt he would be awarded more in arbitration then they think he is worth, so they gave up his rights and let him walk.
Pulju on the other hand, coming off an ELC, is an RFA without arbitration rights. So the Oilers can qualify him, and he has no choice but to accept or hold out. If the player declines to accept the qualifying offer at this point, they hold their rights indefinitely.
Basically an RFA does not become an UFA unless the team decides they don't want the player, either through declining the arbitration award, or straight up not qualifying the player.
Thanks for reading.
Bizarre post
That's it, shan't be replying to Kiwi's from now on.
It's not a sexual thing. Also, to clarify, I am happy as a straight male and I do not want to transition to become a woman.

Drinking scotch and calling people niggers lads
I call people niggers if I'm losing an argument. Even if I know I'm wrong I'll call him a nigger and that's that.
thank you for the answer
Is Drouin a good center?
Also it gets more complicated like in the case of Kovalchuck. He "retired" thus voiding his contract with the Devils,but the Devils still owned his player rights, so in order to come back to the NHL on a team other than the Devils, the Devils had to give permission to give up his rights, and I think all the other teams in the league had to agree with that as well. So even if the Devils were ok with him coming back and signing with LA, if a team, say the Islanders or Flyers, wanted to screw the player over, they could very well have said no, and kept him out of the league.
no
This was suprisingly helpful, I didn't ask the original question but didn't know this explanation. Thank you

Was always sad he got traded away from Boston the year they won the cup. I never like to see that happen.

I dunno if that's the right term, I mean if I do get my session in the morning then I'm good the rest of the day.

NHL needs to abolish the salary cap
Where are my Calgary bros at?
No no it does not. That's exactly what's killing the mlb.
I guess that the end of our Smoke Break
yes I too want yet another sport where the finals are always the same four teams every year
the mlb suffers from the small market rule, and a salary cap there would be rarted
MLB is healthy as ever
yes
Only way the laff win a cup and even then
>Ruins in 7
m8 the same 3 teams have pretty much won the stanley cup for the last 10 years.
and we need a salary cap removal because we can see people get 200 million contracts?
>small market rule
You literally buy championships in baseball you are retarded
>empty stadiums
>dying franchises
>tanking viewership
>big market rule
>no zoomer fans
Baseball is dying m8
would vote NAY on removing the salary cap
That's a different argument thanks.
Look at how piss poor a small market teams window is and compare that to one who can splurge trillions of fucking dollars
also fuck the mlb a chicago team is doing well and Yea Forums is insufferable
Is it the white sox? I literally don't follow sports outside of hockey anymore.
But not the same 3 teams for every year. It changes by decade
So you are arguing big markets run mlb?
okay but how does that change the fact that the same 3 or 4 teams have been the cup finalists for the last decade?
nah the Cubs are the 5rd best team in the NL
>penguins
they're losing steam
>kings
LOL
>reddithawks

biggest zoomer market was unironically toronto until the management killed the jays this season
The Arizona's and Florida's of the league would make way more money if the NHL went to a luxury tax system. The Leafs, Rangers, Blackhawks would spend so much money.
jays just have a lot of good young players. My team just sucks
>this season
The hype died when they forced Alex out.
you really don't understand the difference between teams having windows and teams having a free pass to the CF that never expires do you
That's just because there are only 3 or 4 good teams per decade m8 then their window closes. Plus other teams win in between as well. Hockey has the most parity in all sports. No removing salary cap unless you're utterly retarded and want the same 3-4 teams winning forever.
Ok but how does that change the fact that the same 3 or 4 teams have been the cup finalists for the last decade?
eating frozen broccoli
And the late 90s and early 2000s were dominated by the Avs Wings and Devils. Just how shit works, top teams stay dominate for years.
IDK maybe you should go look at the "dynasty" teams in the sports you are shitting on.
prospects dont fill stands
I'm not the one complaining buddy, but thanks for proving my point. There is an user here that seems to think that the NHL doesn't work like that, but it does.
Can Claude Giroux speak French?
So who are the next three teams to dominate the chel, with another just kinda being good but one cup to show for it. Right now we're in that meme transition period where first time champs happen.
Imagine the pizza

habs avalanche and tough take the devils
Who's your pick on the fourth one.
islanders because prospect pool meme. I'll bite
Saving an unironically good post for next thread.
Saving a big fat brapp for next thread
>the salary cap creates parity
1995-2004
Devils - 3 Cups, 4 appearances
Red Wings - 3 Cups, 4 appearances
Avalanche - 2 Cups, 2 appearances
2005-2019
Penguins - 3 Cups, 4 appearances
Blackhawks - 3 Cups, 3 appearances
Kings - 2 Cups, 2 appearances
Bruins - 1 Cup, 3 appearances
Tampa and Toronto are the only teams that are legit "stacked"
Pittsburgh and Washington have a couple of good years left. Boston is on the severe bubble.
The West doesn't have any powerhouses right now. The Jets and Knights are the best they have to offer. And an aging Nashville. And maybe Colorado but they have a habit of trading away talent and not actually building anything,
The Rags unironiclly have the most potential. But they not be something for another 3 or 4 years.
gonna make the next thread a canes thread to spite canada again
So from the East we have the Habs, Devils, and Islanders in the SCF. From the West, the Avs and just the Avs.
Enjoy no one posting in it again Randy
Nevermind the 80's.

meme it all you want, im not even a leafs fan. vegas has them as 2nd favorites to win the cup right now. Depends how they handle this Marner deal I guess.
oh look it's a child that doesn't know how betting works
Moronto needs to reach the 2nd round before I will ever call them a contender
>proving you are a goddamn brainlet
Educate me.
based
little outdated yes?
It's still enough to prove the salary cap produces parity.
a shit ton of retarded laffs fans put money on the laffs to win so vegas raises their odds so they don't get fucked. it's not about how likely they are to win it it's about vegas stealing your money. it's why the cowboys yankees and lakers always have high odds to win even if they're shit
I love BULJU
>betting odds
Jesus christ lol. This is the best Leafs team of my lifetime but I simply don't trust Babcock's stubborness.
It's slightly different when Tampa, Boston, and Toronto are all top 5 in the NHL. Nevermind that Florida, Montreal, and Buffalo should all be improved this year. The Atlantic is a gaunlet.
Dude if you fill in that graphic the Blackhawks and Penguins won the next 3 years lmao
SSM8S
>washington/st. Louis
I'd much rather have to put up with 3 or 4 than 10-15
You're half right. Your wording is just wrong. They would lower the Leafs odds to cover their ass, not raise them. They have to balance their books but at the end of the day a favorite is a favorite, they have to price it as such.
Did you pee in a cup and then pour it in? What the fuck
You still have dynasty teams in every single decade - the salary cap hasn't changed shit in that regard. 9 different teams have won the cup in the 14 years (2006-2019) since the salary cap began. 9 different teams won the cup in the 15 years (1990-2004) before the salary cap.
Literally no different, and you say there's increased parity?
they raise the odds on them winning, which lowers the odds on the bet :^)
bet you don't even use decimal odds.
>Literally no different, and you say there's increased parity?
the parity is seen at the bottom at the ranks not the at the absolute peak peak
decimals are literally just fractions with powers of ten as the denominator. Unless you actually use irrational numbers
Maybe, but his entire argument for the salary cap was because he didn't want to see the same teams in the SCF every single year. I'm just saying the salary cap hasn't changed that.
Going to a luxury tax would be better for parity at the bottom because it would give teams like the Coyotes and Panthers more money to spend through cap re-capture.
You still have "dynasty" teams but there hasnt been a true dynasty since the islanders in the 80s and once their window closes they have to rebuild. You are an absolute retard and I hope you choke on your dinner.
>because it would give teams like the Coyotes and Panthers more money to spend through cap re-capture
which just inflates the entire contract structure since players know they can demand more money
>there hasnt been a true dynasty since the islanders in the 80s
