They probably wouldn’t trade him in the East either.

Diabetes is on both sides of my family brother, I know how it is.... my mom is type 2, my grandma on my mom’s side was type 1, and my aunt on my dad’s side is type 1. It scares the sh!t outta me that I’ll wind up with it one day.

I wouldn’t blame him. Max Domi too, those guys are way higher risk.

My first thought when reading this was ‘why the fvck is Nasreddine in the mix?’ And John Stevens? fvck off.

We only get Vancouver’s pick this year if they make the playoffs, so that can’t be an accurate simulation, as much as I’d like it to be lol.

Yeah he’s one of those AAAA guys. Good enough to play hockey for a living, not good enough to do it consistently in the best league in the world.

His quarantine is gonna last til the end of July, because this sh!t ain’t starting up before then.

I’d like to know more details on the lottery, not the least of which being how many teams are in it, and if you can move up more than three spots.

Yeah I’ve heard of this dude. He sounds like he’d be a good choice, but we’d have to wait.

Yeah because I actually give a sh!t about it. Exactly.

That’s the way it was. That was the format. It was accepted. This is a band-aid on a bullet wound.

No, that’s not ‘hockey right there’. That’s horse sh!t right there. We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one.

Those lockout seasons had less regular season games, but the playoff format was the same as any other season. This is blatantly allowing sh!tty, non-deserving teams in to the playoffs. 24 teams is ridiculous. It would be more legit if they just said ‘how the standings ended up are how they ended up and now we play the regular playoff format based on that’. At least that way you played 60+ games and real playoffs. What if one of these garbage teams they allow in somehow rides a hot goaltender to a Cup? You wanna see that? I sure as fvck do not.

I imagine it would.... the earlier they’re eliminated the better the picks. So hopefully they both get annihilated.

It would affect the Vancouver pick as well. Pretty sure they’d be in in this stupid scenario.

No chance. We are a long way off from parades.

Totally disagree. This will forever be known as the Covid Cup. It will be looked back on and mocked. If I was a franchise that has never won a Cup, I wouldn’t wanna win my first this way.

All this will do is serve to entertain bored people for a month. I won’t consider whoever wins a legit Cup champion. Giant asterisk.

Not that much with no fans. But whatever, it’s never about the actual sanctity of the sport when you get down to brass tax.

Wonderful. Love how no one seems to care about de-valuing what it means to win the Stanley Cup. The asterisk will be so big it’ll take up half of the winning team’s engraving.
