NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

At first glance the Oilers won this trade for sure. Neal has something left in the tank and is easier to buy out.

Neal is also what the Oilers actually need in a depth forward: experience with some scoring touch still there (and I think he will get more of a chance to do that in Dave Tippet's system). Lucic has.....none of what Calgary needs, save for "toughness" which is useless to him if his offensive upside is gone.
 
Wow have I been out of it!!! Just checked TSN's signing tracker. It's gonna be really weird seeing a few of these guys in different uniforms next season, especially:

Pavelski and Perry now on Stars!?! Stars offense will be stacked! (esp if Perry is productive, and Hanzal can stay healthy, which is unlikely)
Stars top two lines could look something like: Benn - Seguin - Radulov , Pavelski - Hanzal - Perry

Varlamov on Isles also feels weird.

Agreement struck for new Flames arena, replacing Saddledome - TSN.ca

Plans for a new arena in Calgary to replace the Saddledome are accelerating with a tentative agreement in place. The city, the Calgary Flames and the Calgary Stampede, which owns the land, have agreed in principle to terms on an event centre that would be the new home of the city's NHL team.

Goddammit. Fuckin' corporate welfare. Tax dollars going to arenas is always a bad idea.

I don't think Perry is the player people think he is anymore.

Yeah, it's daily lineups, so it's a bit more involved than fantasy football, unfortunately.

I'd try it out if there were others interested.

Also, I'm going to the Caps preseason game with the fam on Saturday for my birthday and just locked down a 5 game flex plan which includes games against Montreal, Boston, San Jose, Pittsburgh (on Super Bowl Sunday) and Philadelphia; pretty stoked. Bring on the NHL season!!!
