We were one key save away from a W, and could have had 4+ goals last night. We didn’t just generate shot quantity, but quality as well. If they can play like that all season, I won’t complain; at least it was entertaining!

We deserved better in regulation, but that’s sorta the flames mo I guess.

Both goals against could have been stopped unfortunately. Marks hasn’t been bad, but he isn’t winning the goalie duel.

Everyone’s playing pretty good. Only really noticed Zadorov on the bad side of things. Not a great game by Gawdin again, but not terrible.

1] No. 2) VGK, EDM, VAN, CGY, SEA, LAK, ANA, SJS 3) Gaudreau, Lindholm, Monahan 4) Walks for nothing

Looking forward to seeing Guddy, Zaddy, Stone all in the lineup for game1!

The longer training camp goes, the more baffling the Gudbranson signing becomes. Could we really not have brought him in on a pto just evaluate fit? I doubt there were many teams prepared to offer him a contract when we signed him, let alone a nearly 2 million dollar contract.

Why would Tkachuk hold out for an OS? They almost never happen, and he’s not worth more than 9 million AAV. No one is offering that. Chucky will sign his QO and be a UFA the following year. He’s worth more in a trade right now. Maybe the wild are a good target. They have a short window to win before the buyouts of Parise and Sutter begin to bite, so they may be open to making a splash right now. Tkachuk + 2nd for Marco Rossi + Victor Rask + 1st.

Tkachuk’s comments make me think he has every intention of signing his QO next year and walking right out the door as a UFA. Probably best To move him now if possible. He doesn’t sound like a team guy in this case.

Was pretty sick yesterday, no real reason, threw up a few times. Now I know why...

Random idea. Mtl takes the compensation, we flip Monahan to Mtl for those picks, we turn around and sign Peterson to a 6x8 contract. If Vancouver matches, they got some major moves to make in order to sign Hughs. Then we take those picks and trade for Dvorak. If they don’t take it, we just moved Monahan plus a 2nd to land a young top line center. I think Van matches that, but it puts the squeeze on them which would be fun.

I’ll be interested to see if Kinnvall can come in and grab a lineup spot. Had his last season truncated by injury, but looks to be a solid offensive producer from the back end.

I’m kind of surprised Nick Ritchie is still unsigned. Wouldn’t mind him here.

To me this is shaping up to be another dud of an offseason. I don’t see any big trades coming, so it looks like a run back of last season’s team. At least pitlick and Coleman are better adds than Leivo or Simon, but that contract is pretty rich.

If we sign gudbranson, I may puke. Just in the middle of my day, not knowing anything has happened, I may just vomit spontaneously as the ink is drying on the paper before the announcement is even made.
