    If this schedule reveal is any indication, it's going to be another long season in the Tank.

    Tyler Toffoli from Calgary to the Devils for Yegor Sharangovich and 3rd rounder.

    His vote was worse last year when he left Mathew’s and McDavid out of his top 5

    Maybe there's an knowledgeable hockey writer in Pittsburgh who can sit beside Seth in the press box next season and explain the game to him.

    Kevin Hayes traded to St. Louis for a 2024 sixth-round pick. Flyers will retain 50 percent of Hayes' $7.142 million cap hit.

    Torts thinks so much of Hayes' defensive effort. ... that the team is willing to pay $3.5 million for him to play for someone else.

    Hayes came up with the Rangers. So I got my fill of him. He has the physical ability to be one of the best centers in the NHL. But at least during his Rangers years he looked to be stoned out of his head all the time and he brought about 70 percent effort many nights. So I am not a huge fan. That said? At $3.5 million a year and a meaningless pick. ... St. Louis got a steal.

    Agreed.

    Helps with a big need. STL has invested heavily in Robert Thomas. Brayden Schenn is the other center of note.
    He will play hard for Berube or Army will move him ... something already being speculated about. Not now, but at some point in the upcoming season.

    I’ll believe the club-to-NCAA jump when I see it, but this is still kinda cool.

    Toffoli's a consistent scorer going to a playoff team. Craig Conroy isn't waiting around to see who wants to stay, so Au revoir.

    Happy Connor Bedard Day to all who celebrate!

    Figured tonight's draft would be a good time to kick this off.

    His wife is an influencer, and since Calgary is vilified in mainstream and on social medias…hell, by Canada’s federal government, for being the center of production of two products that everyone world wide still uses in unbelievably large numbers, having an Alberta address isn’t a cool thing. Too bad, because it’s a great place.
    I wish they had held on to Toffoli for a while longer. Don’t know whether ‘Smilin’ Craig’ is going to make some slick trades, a la Treleving, but he has a huge job ahead. Personally I would rather have two 4 million guys a year than one 8 million guy. Balance up and down the lineup is what you need in the NHL Western Conference.
