During the scrum there were at least 7 Rocket players on the ice participating in fights (not to mention half their bench throwing punches too), honestly surprised that's all that came out of that suspension wise.

If the contract lengths were similiar, it would be an absolute no-brainer.

So what you're saying is the difference between Laughton+Carlo and Quinn Hughes is just another 1st round pick.

Worse, $3.75mil cap hit. Could maybe see it if we trade Jarnkrok for him, but even that's a stretch.

Jarry to Edmonton didn't exactly come way out of left field and half of the podcast's report on it (that it would come with 50% retention on Jarry) didn't and apparently never ever would have happened. So I'm not sure they really deserve kudos here.

Or not:

Hildeby will need to start clearing waivers next season so I don't know if it's now, the deadline, or in the offseason but at some point something will have to give there. Not sure it'd be a great look to trade Stolarz before he even plays a game on his extension.

In addition to our #8 defenceman being hurt two of our other most likely call-up options are also out: Rifai and Villeneuve. Organizational defence depth is definitely getting tested.

If OEL is out for awhile I wonder if we go after Erik Gustafsson again. Been stuck in the minors almost all season long (just got called up by Detroit).

Goalies are voodoo so anything can happen, but on paper this is a big win for Pittsburgh I think. Jarry almost exactly a year ago this time cleared waivers. Now he gets traded for a 2nd rounder and a half-decent bottom pair defenceman (and Skinner but on an expiring contract at least).

For whatever it's worth, Nylander is actually 2nd among forwards on the team in ice-time against an empty net this season and that was the first time he's been scored on there.

The Sharks have been outscored 11-3 at 5-on-5 with Reaves on the ice. Among all players with 20+ games played this season that's the worst GF% in the league besides Garnet Hathaway's 10% (1-9). He has 2 goals and 0 assists in 25 games. 518 players have played 20+ games this season, the number...
