Monty said he “didn’t want to get into the specifics” of when talks with the Blues started. Sounds like this may have been brewing for a long time.

Tampering?

Sweeney mentioned he wanted people who wanted to stay in Boston..I assumed he was referring to players but seems like it's Montgomery..

If so, he can (frank) off..I was more annoyed when Cassidy was let go to be honest

Absolutely more upset with Cassidy's dismissal. This is just a who cares deal, totally ambivalent about Monty. Looked and sounded like he wanted out so yeah fk him. STL can have him

Signs were there..very apathetic behind the bench which was very noticeable

He was assistant in STL for a while before the Bs. Seems like they’re waiting on Sullivan or someone else this summer

Apathetic is the word I meant to say about my own opinion of Monty🤣🤣

Going to be in peril of getting surpassed by Sens and even the Habs soon if they don’t start stringing some wins here.

its gonna be decision time soon. Stay in the race or call it a season. Last 5 games frustrating;excluding the Oilers game, could have got more points

Weird season for sure. Some of it due to some signings ( although like Zadorov) and clearly some guys underperforming big like Carlo, Elias, Frederic. Missing Hampus on the back end for sure. Swayman with his late start.

Perhaps its also a pretty good run of 15 years fizzling out. Lots of draft picks dealt to win the Cup..2019 and 2023 are even more disappointing given where they are now. should have been at least 2 (maybe 3) more cups over the last 15 years.

don't see an issue in bringing 1 or 2 young guys up..sit the underperformers. having 5 or 6 guys underperforming is gonna wreck any season

Main pieces, as we know it so far, of this 3-way blockbuster:

To Carolina:
- LW Taylor Hall
- RW Mikko Rantanen

To Colorado:
- C Martin Necas
- C Jack Drury

To Chicago:
- 2025 3rd round pick

*Chicago retains 50% of Rantanen's $9.25M cap hit

Wow

What’s Sweeney going to do for trades?
Got bottom 6 fw and bottom pair D coming out of their ears…

Pretty wild. Don’t necessarily see it as a steal for Carolina. Be fun to see how the teams fare.
Chicago, wow. I know Hall is useless but why bother even making that deal?

Can never have too many for Donnie. Lysell and 2nd for Donato

I don't get why Chicago did that deal.. probably could have treated Hall for a late draft pick and not have to pick up that salary.. weird

Yeah, last year of his deal so not even worth a 3rd?
Must’ve had to for the aps to work for other teams. Almost seems like collusion, scratch my back deal…

Some good news. Pls don’t trade him for a middle six wing Donny

Fear not, Saad has been waived

Basically tied for 4th for the two wild cards with Fishsticks all of a sudden.

Turn it around very soon

Fear not, Saad has been waived

Thick and leadership qualities on that 3rd line or can really play up and down the lineup. We like his versatility

Who is watching 4 Nations Cup?

Should be interesting

Canada wins in OT..fast game, Marchand got a goal..

(frank) Canada

Swayman or Oettinger should start.

Big game Saturday. USA vs the 51st state

Here’s hoping Tkachuk ruins that homo Doughty again

That pillow Biter Trudeau out there wearing a middle finger ring

As per Sweeney

Hampus likely done for the year

No time frame for Chuck

Talking extension with Marchand
