Marner is one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL. Marner’s problem is when the playoffs start he plays a very timid game.

Oh ya I never realized Marner was that good defensively , I know he did not look so good on the OT winner last spring .Ya he is a little light when the game gets physical .

That's fantastic, i never thought they'd be able to get out of that contract, good to get that boat anchor out of Chicago.

not hating that Jones trade at all

Knight was highly rated in his draft year. Anyone know of his progress and how he is now? I’m guessing we’ll be seeing him play for the Hawks soon

Leaves a logjam in net, no?

Haven't seen him but numbers look good, .907 as the backup to Bob.

The condition on the first round pick in the Seth Jones trade: it’s a 2026 first going to Chicago but if Florida ends up not having that pick then it moves to a 2027 first round pick which goes to the Blackhawks instead. So Chicago getting either the ‘26 or ‘27 first rounder.

Nah, Mrazek is gone, Broissoit may never be back. You get a highly touted 23 year old goal tender.

Guess they can carry 3 goalies and make all of them grumpy. What could they get for Soderblom before the deadline?

Thats the last of the retentions though right?

Only guys getting traded at deadline are the low salary guys.

Unless they find a third team to take the retention.

I'm on board with that.

Hey Bread! How’s it going.

Knight has been adequate for a good Fla defensive team.

Maybe 🙏 another move coming w/surplus goalie? Not that ours have much value.

Better return than I expected.

Doing okay, still teaching. How are you?

He is going to be in for culture shock when he gets here .I guess we will see how good he is under fire .

I don't care about any other moves this year, this was big, i feared KD would keep S Jones so gratefull he took care of Bowmans mistake and it only cost us a quarter of his salary and we get a young quality goal tender and 1st round pick.

KD with a great move tonight.

I’m doing well. Retirement is overrated. I’m looking for something to keep busy. Had a few offers but I don’t want anything full time and I’m not interested in getting back into the IT field, too stressful.
