Horvat is not playing up to expectations. I think Lou should contact Vancouver and ask for a redo on the trade.

He had a great game. Great game overall. Weathered the storm in the 2nd. Sorokin held the fort and took the game away from them in the third. Good they got the two points tomorrow is going to be a tough one with the knights losing last night.

I don't understand how the Coyotes are good-ish this year. They've scored one goal in two games against the Islanders

Lou can tell The Nucks it was a good trade the timing wasn’t right.

After trailing 5-4 with 1:56 remaining in regulation, Czechia beats Finland 8-5 for the bronze medal at the #WorldJuniors. #WEIRDJUNIORS

Islanders won the game in the 3rd period.
Shut The Yotes down. Yotes had 4 shots in the third. sOrOkin held the fort down in the second after they took 2 penalties and gave the momentum to the Yotes after their PP goal.
Do people watch the games?

I didn’t mean that Sorokin took the game away from them but the team did when they scored 3 goals in the third. Maybe a “they” after the “and” would’ve been more appropriate. Why anyone would give a (frank)ing rats arse either way is hysterical. This thread has become a giant steaming turd.

Even the Jr. Czechs can score empty net goals.

My question non-Islander related more league related is how in the world can the leafs sign Nylander and not have to dump salary?

I’m no top grade Internet GM but they are at a cap hit of $97M with ~ 13.5M of ~$14M in LTIR relief being used. So for me there is no way they can sign him without clearing cap space.

Cuz it would not kick in until next year when they have more space?

They have 8+ million coming off the books on D so of course they spend it on him, instead of maybe a top pair Dman.

A nice solid 60 minute victory tonight would be nice. Not a must win, just something to feel good about as a fan.

Yeah I mean you would think a D man and goalie is more important than Nylander.
If they do want to sign him they couldn’t do it this year but as you said they have some wiggle room after this season but they have more important pieces to sign vs him. Just my opinion of course.

Even if they don’t win for me I would like to see as you said a complete well played 60 Minute effort.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say they win.

I’m to lazy to see what else they have coming off the books but you also have to factor the cap going up next year which should be around 4 million. It won’t be enough to absorb all of it of course but it’ll help. They are saying it’s possible it may go up another 4 million the following year(when Tavares may be coming off the books…). Probably have figured out a way to shed some more salary in addition I would think if the plan is to actually resign him. Guy has proved to be a great player but for a top heavy team they should be investing that money some place else imo.
