Wasn't here either but they could afford losing him since they got Pulju and now they added Lucic.
Larsson is going to help their D more than they lost in O and Pulju will bring those points back in few years even if Lucic declines.
Overall I think it's a good deal. A great lw for a developing D with potential to be 1st pairing. Value is not that far off.

I fully expect them to be 3rd in the Atlantic behind Tampa and Florida though. Detoilet and Montreal are self-destructing, Ottawa is nothing special, Broons overachieved last year and won't be any better this year, and the Laffs will continue to be terrible.

Consenus reaction was that Edmonton lost the deal and got bent over value wise but finally added a solid piece to their blue-line. If they hadn't gotten Lucic & Puljujarvi it would be one of the worst trades in a while.
>>69138089

That's because you've been shit for 10 years
>>69138117
so much this.
Sure Hall can wreck up a shitton of points but as you could always see with the Oilels, how can the offense work if literally every offensive turnover results in a goal for the opponent
Getting some expirienced D, Lucic who brings some needed grit and goonery into it, a hopefully healthy full season McGOAT and as you mentioned Pulju hopefuly developing nicely into the team

>>69138423
Raleigh.
>>69138242
Sadly no. Fans are really fair-weather, and the team has to compete with the Panthers, Hornets, and ACC basketball for attention. The fans that DO exist are diehard fans, but there's less and less of them as the years go by
>>69138370
Not even wrong. I just hope this year changes it around but that's what people have been saying every year and it just leads to more disappointments. If we don't sign a top goalie in these next 5 years it might just be the end

Just put him on a line where he actually has to work his shifts and has to fight for the puck instead of a line where he is babbied with tip-ins and redirects and he surely will regress hard

Why is McDavid so autistic?

I don't understand the Ward re-signing. They could have gotten a good starter and just left Lack exposed for expansion.
>>69138411
No we won't this team is garbage. They'll still probably make the playoffs but it's another first round exit assured.
Last year there was actually reason for optimism with the expectation Goose and Tater would progess and with Larkin beaing a GOAT and the other young talent coming up.
But what happened? Goose and Sauce regressed and Holland refused to let any decenr youngster see icetime.
With Holland's signings of the senior citizen home and resigning two bad players to ridiculous contracts there is now zero reason for optimism.

>>69138783
This is true, which is why it's the only things the Wings did today that's a decent move.
The Wings PP is completely lost without someone like Holmstrom. After 30 years him and Cicarelli they literally have no fucking idea how to have a non-meme PP.

Yeah and Abby was doing that role that year. This year they caught on to it, bullied him, and pushed him off the puck constantly. He's too small for the role.
>>69138931
What the fuck did you do with niemi? He won a cup and was a vezina nominee in san jose and immediately when he became dallas stars' goalie he forgot how to be a goalie.

Quit while you're behind you absolute fucking faggot.
>>69139068
Don't want him then. The whole point of trading Howard would be to get rid of shit goalie contracts, and he's better than Niemi.
>>69138714
Kari needs a change of scenery desu, but where?
Niemi should go back to liiga and retire
>>69139044
Personally I think the shorks cursed him with a good portion of shorkening
also to be added, in Chicago and San Jose he had a good and well working defense, whereas Dallas had a dumpsterfire going this season
>>69139156
They caught on this year. Their PP breaks down when they can't establish someone in front of the net, which they were unable to do with Abby getting bullied out of position constantly.

>>69139088
Ducks have a strict budget, it's no surprise
>>69139057
Bro..come now.
You can't just look at the points. Homlstrom was so good at being a pest he made everyone else on the PP so much markedly better. His screens were elite, his ability to stay on his feet was elite, his ability to get on the goalie and d-men's head was elite, he could pass, dig for pucks like a badger, and to boot he was pretty damn good defensively.
Holmstrom was the GOAT at that role.
>>69139448
>mid-range
dude... no fans, then. lol.
>>69139385

That's part of the reason why some traditional market teams (looking at you, >laffs) are shit for so long. Less motivation to improve if they can still sell out every game with retardedly high ticket prices.
