So glad the long suffering VGK fans got their Stanley Cup

Canucks buy out defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson's contract

[Noeller]

So what's the deal with OEL now...? I don't follow the Canucks so I have no clue... Is he old and shitty now?

Gary Bettman nods his approval of your post.

Vegas becomes the quickest expansion team to win a cup since the 74 Flyers did it in 7 seasons. Vegas did it in 6 

 

OEL? Apparently Canucks fans say he was injured and then never the same

CGY is waiting on a response from Lindholm and haven't been given definitive answer yet. But general league speculation is he's leaning toward not re-signing w/ CGY.

Just came across this heading from TSN:

The Talking Point: What is the missing piece to add to the Leafs' Core 4?

 

And the Universe's balance has been restored once again.

Core 4? Leafs running out of time to resign Matthew else risk losing him as UFA in '24.

Frank Seravalli - I'm told Tyler Toffoli also plans on not re-signing in Calgary.

[Noeller]

Calgary and Winnipeg both gonna look so different next year.

Interesting tidbits from the NHL Awards:

Connor McDavid got 195 of 196 first place votes for the Hart. David Pastrnak got the lone holdout vote, and that reporter who pick Pasta also decided that McDavid should get no better than a 5th place vote for MVP. That (presumably Boston) writer should be kicked out of the PHWA. Hellebuyck was the only Jet represented, finishing in 11th place, with a total of 10 votes (2 for 3rd place)

Cole Perfetti finished 11th in Calder voting, with one 4th place vote and two 5th place votes. 

Shockingly, Jets were almost totally absent from Selke voting, with Adam Lowry getting one 4th place vote to finish tied for 30th overall. 

Rick Bowness got one 2nd place vote for the Adams trophy. So did Paul Maurice and Sheldon Keefe. All finished tied for 11th, one spot ahead of Tampa’s Jon Cooper. 

Josh Morrissey finished 5th overall in Norris voting, with 3 first place votes as part of his 80 total votes (out of a total 196 voters)

Hellebuyck finished 3rd in the Vezina voting, with 2 first place rankings as part of his 14 total votes. Only 30 of the 32 NHL GMs voted this year. 

And finally, 3 Jets got Lady Byng votes. Last year’s winner Kyle Connor finished 28th overall with one 2nd place and one 5th place vote. That put him one place behind Nate Schmidt, who finished as top Jet in 27th with two 3rd place votes. Hellebuyck also got two votes for the Byng, one of five goalies to get votes  for the award.

The guy who chose DP as #1 and McJesus for 5th probably thought he was being bold and edgy but in truth he’s just being dumb.

8 years x 8.8m extension for Timo Meier from the Devils.

”Do you think the league rigged the draft for Chicago?”

“No”
