It's a Finnvasion.

Where is Forsell anyway? Isn't this his crowning moment?

If I was there, wearing a suit, I could sneak on stage and no one would know, right?

Well, not me, but a respectable looking guy?

Looks like every GM in the NHL is drunk. Terrible trade for the Pens. Penguins win two cups with a team built on skill and speed decide they need moer GRIT.

clearly Niskanen wouldn't have cross-checked Sid in the head if Reaves was there to FITE Wilson

also it saves them some money, but most of that will just go to re-signing Draisaitl (and extending McBust), the rest to giving raises to Russell & Kassian

likely another -EV move by Chiapet, but he'll keep getting bailed out because Draisaitl & McBust are really good

no clue

Age & cap hit are certainly relevant here. Think that Strome still has potential. Yes, he's been worse but he's still 23 and has a good ceiling. Saying he's on the decline at 23 just seems pretty crazy to me.

Anyone want to give me insights into Detroit's draft pick?

Hahaa yea, midsummerholiday here and went the traditional route and passed out around draft time. Six first-rounders ATH, happy days. Interesting to follow if the late-rounders pan out.

NJ fans gotta be feeling quite a rush. A year ago starving for talent and now Hall and Niko to look forward to, sick turnaround.

Trade sounds pretty bad for CGY. They're gonna be stuck in between for a few more years I reckon

McPhee didn't draft all the goalies because they wouldn't clear waivers.

I would have been pretty piqued if the Leafs had given up all that for Hamonic.

I disagree. Reeves is the new Neil. No tough guy can change the flow or tempo of a game like Reeves from an enforcer role. He demands respect from the opponent. He's just what the Pens were lacking. Some Pens got roughed up in not only these finals but the 3 series before as well. Yes the got the job done again in the end, but with Reeves in this years lineup it would have been over a lot faster. Especially the Caps dmen that abused Crosby.

Reeves seems to be one of those tough guys who's still pretty good at hockey. He's scored just about everytime he's played the Jets.

How is that bad for the Flames?

You don't get a top-4, possibly top-2 defencemen in every 3 draft picks.
