I wish Army would make it a priority to acquire and develop big mobile defensemen. Try to emulate what we had in 19. That and Binner were the 2 biggest reasons we won our Cup.

Not sure why you think the Blues would be interested in Klingberg. We still got enough D as it is or am I missing something?

Just because hes's probably the best defenseman who isn't too old in a very thin free agent pool of defensemen and our defense blows.

I noticed the other night they’ve been running him out there a lot. You’d think it was Bure that they picked up.
Yeah, any ideas he was coming in to upgrade their bottom 6 went out the window quick. He's been playing on Eichel's wing.
Just a Russian propaganda account

We will need a player just like him next season to round out the forward group.

So Arizona took Ottawa's package for Chychrun largely because it was likely to have the earliest first round pick this season. However, the Sens have won 5 in a row and are just 3 points back of the playoffs. They're tied with Buffalo (who has one game in hand), while the last to WC slots are held by NYI and PIT. Neither of those teams are on a hot streak. I think it'd be fantastic if Ottawa found a way not only to get in, but win a round, so Arizona's prized piece of the trade is somewhere around the 21st draft pick.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

Three games in hand on the Islanders too. Although they’d be hard pressed to win a round against the Canes or Bruins but crazy things happen.

He has a career high in goals and points with 17 games to play. He has more 4 point gams than 0 point games this season. I hope he gets to 150 this year.
I think that was one of my pre-season predictions, that McDavid hits 150 points. Someone had a thread on preseason predictions. Any time you call one for McDavid, you got a shot of hitting it - ha
