Sens (given them the respect of actual name) in 3rd in the Atlantic.

It's gonna be tough to actually stay there, Tampa has 2 games in hand and are... you know... better. But it's Jan 27 and this is a noteworthy turn of events.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

If you’re in a playoff spot at the end of January, there’s basically nothing you can do to not make it

Oh wait, hm

How high did Detroit get last year?

Looks like Detroit was 6 points up on 9th (and tied with Toronto) on Jan 31 https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/standin ... 2024-01-31

Caps signed Logan Thompson six years 5.85 per

Four teams now with three points of the SNES for third in the Atlantic

Heh. Not for long! Tonight:

BOS @ BUF

CHI @ TBL

God one of the Sabres or Hawks pulling off a W would be sooooo nice.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Hopefully Yzerman lowballs the Canucks for Pettersson

And the Habs! And the Rags!

[sutterfamily]

Unexpected!

[sutterfamily]

The "terrible drop pass THROUGH a defender while on a shorthanded breakaway" is so bad to start with but the Canes going down the ice and scoring immediately after is perfection

[sutterfamily]

Hopefully Yzerman lowballs the Canucks for Pettersson

Might be hard to get a lowball through given that every team in the NHL knows he's available. Who do you think the Wings should give up for him?

I have seen Very Credible internet "reports" that the SNES might be trying to trade Josh Norris + for this guy. Would be an upgrade, obviously, tho doesn't really help their lack of a trigger guy.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I don’t think Yzerman will actually do it. It would have to be a mostly futures package, like Danielson + 1st + Cap Filler (Compher?). It seems like the Canucks want to compete, so that package would get beaten by Norris+ and other packages.

[sutterfamily]

I'm not sure Ottawa is even actually trying to do it. I'm also not even sure it would be a good move.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

My concern for the SNES if they made the move is that it would almost certainly need to include this year’s first, and their prospect pool is thin enough already.

[Cacophony]

lol Saad cleared waivers and I’m guessing Grubauer will too

+ they're still supposed to forfeit one of their next two first round picks
