What’s this draft year look like after #3?
Strong or weak draft class?

We literally had the puck once the entire OT and we scored. How did Pasternak not get a delay of game penalty for holding the puck?

That was looking like a Boston win all the way. Bo needed a game like that.

No idea how the Cap works with that trade. Van should have to take Mayfield and Pierre.

I think it's not considered real strong. Next year is supposed to be much better

I think Rosner suggested 2025 1st rd pick, Cizikas, Dobson and Engvall.
I'm normally pretty patient with dmen but Dobson's constant brain farts are wearing on me. Especially with George being a pleasant surprise.
I know Petterson is massively talented but I have heard some Nucks fans say he's kinda soft. That certainty worries me, but he would be an incredible boost for our offense.

I heard the soft label as well and that is a concern. I do not know what this means for Nelson and Palms if this trade happens. I'm more of a fan of doing some sort of re-tool instead of a big move.

USA vs Finland is a tight one. 3-3 in the 3rd. Lets go USA!

Edit: USA! USA! USA!

Unreal sauce pass!!! Great game, but i think 3 on 3 OT is weak. Let them play 5 on 5 until it’s over.

Agreed. Not a fan of 3 on 3 especially with big games like these. Excellent game none the less.

I like 3v3 for NHL regular season games that need to come to a conclusion quickly without dragging on, but not a fan of having it decide who wins a major trophy like the World Juniors. But that was a great game regardless, unreal pass from Buium. That kids going to be a hell of a player.

Game was incredible. I get it(but don’t like it) during the regular season. Never saw the problem with ties. Guess I’m just an old grumpy boomer.

I wouldn't really have a problem with ties either, but the NHL seems pretty dead-set against going back to that. As do most professional sports.

In lieu of that, I think the 3v3 is a ton of fun as long as it goes away once the playoffs start. What I'd love to see is the OT extended and the shootouts abolished. A 10 minute 3v3 OT would probably yield a winner an overwhelming-percentage of the time. And an added bonus would be that you never have to watch a terrible shootout ever again.

That deal is a bit more palatable. I see the side that Peterson is super talented, young, etc but I still believe this team should not unload any first rd picks, prospects, young players. That’s also a very big commitment to a player that’s being traded due to not getting along with some other players. There’s some risk involved with trading for this kid. We aren’t in a position to be taking any long term risks imo.

I say this while believing this isn’t happening for multiple reasons least of all we would need to unload some salary to fit him in.

Totally agree. It’s a gimmick. You played 60 minutes of hockey and your deciding the game ( in this case the championship ) with 3 v 3 pond hockey. Only sport where the game plan changes to seek a winner. I get trying to get some new fans with the offensive skill show but I dont like it, especially in a tournament. I NEVER want to see it in the POs. That would absolutely suck. I don’t understand the issue American fans have with ties.

Those four are legit and it’s nice to hear they’re a year or so away (minus George). Nice to have good prospects…..forget what it feels like lol

You can add the Swedes goalie to the mix as well. Marcus Gidlof was solid for the Swedes even in the 15-player shootout loss.

The team needs to keep these players and not trade them away for a short term fix.

I agree along with draft picks. The time to be all in was after the first ECF loss. It's too late now.
