NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

That’s exactly why I didn’t trust all the “experts” picking Colorado or VGK as the favorite to win it all. Everyone one was piling on the North as being the worst division but I thought the West was. It was clear that both of those teams struggled against a good defensive system. Considering the West division this coming season, VGK will probably look inflated again.

After all this, I think the North was a lot stronger than people thought. Or at least, the "bottom teams" were closer to mid-tier, which kept the standings tighter for everyone but Toronto (Toronto was a legit good team - better than VGK anyway).

Had a mild hangover this morning but literally until about 10 minutes ago I had the sniffles

Not sure if it was because it was so cold inside then we got outside and it was like 90 degrees and humid or what

And yea the whole city thought we had one coming that year. Tying the record and all although my second favorite team is the Blues because I have my moms side of the family in st. Louis. So I've been riding a wave now for a bit and I love it so much
 
Taylor Hall and the Boston Bruins are both open to extending his tenure with the team, but the Toronto Maple Leafs are among the clubs that could pursue him if he opts to sign elsewhere.

Hall and the Bruins are negotiating a contract extension, but there's "outside interest as well," reports TSN's Darren Dreger, who adds the Maple Leafs are included in that group.

On June 15, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said both the club and player were amenable to him re-signing. Less than a week earlier, Hall said he saw a fit with Boston and wasn't looking to maximize his value in free agency.


Toronto holds about $9.3 million in cap space with nine pending unrestricted free agents, including goaltender Frederik Andersen and forward Zach Hyman, according to CapFriendly.

Hall, who's also a pending UFA, struggled with the Buffalo Sabres this season before they traded him to the Bruins in April. The 29-year-old winger then flourished with Boston, racking up eight goals and six assists over 16 regular-season games before adding three markers and two helpers in 11 playoff contests.

The Sabres inked Hall to a one-year, $8-million pact last offseason.
 
Corey Perry isn't ready to call it a career.

The 36-year-old said Friday he wants to keep playing, and that he hopes to spend next season with the Montreal Canadiens.

"There's still a lot of good hockey left in me, and I would love to come back to experience Montreal for what it's like really being in Montreal," Perry said, according to Sportsnet's Eric Engels.


"There's definitely a bright future in Montreal, and, hopefully, I'm a part of it," he added, per The Athletic's Arpon Basu.

Perry's coming off a one-year, $750,000 contract. Despite not being in the Canadiens' lineup for a handful of early-season games, he recorded 21 points in 49 contests while leading their fourth line throughout the campaign. The veteran forward also notched four goals and six assists during Montreal's surprise Stanley Cup Final run.

Perry played a similar role in the Dallas Stars' postseason run last year. He lost the title to the Tampa Bay Lightning both seasons.
