The "it'll lead to more trades!" theory was so dumb. Top picks aren't traded often because it's a hard cap league & getting potential impact guys that your scouts love and are under your control for 7 pro years is just too enticing. Not because "it's too chaotic on the floor."

I'm not a reporter. I don't know what's actually available vs "insiders" being fed garbage to influence negotiations. But it strains credulity to believe there's not a single 3C or top 6 winger that could be had for a palatable price.

Jeff Skinner needs 1 point to reach 700 for his career. He would be the 3rd player from the 2010 NHL Draft to record 700 points, joining Tyler Seguin (809) and Taylor Hall (739).

could be wrong, but the 2025-26 Habs strike me as "step back to leap forward"

Ryan Reaves on last season with Leafs: "Just a lack of trust very early ... I had one bad game & I was out of the lineup for 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 games. I'd come back in, have a good game, but taken right back out. I really could never gain any momentum ..." tsn.ca/nhl/video/ther…
