Around the NHL offseason 2021

[RSchmitz]

I'm all about giving second chances, especially to immature teenagers. I feel like you have to earn that chance though, not our headache at least.

Arpon Basu, Editor-in-Chief of The Athletic Montréal: The Montreal Canadiens should be ashamed of their misguided, irresponsible draft decision

[Puckhead]

PHI gets: F Cam Atkinson
CBJ gets: F Jake Voracek

One-for-one, no salary retention.

The CBJ fan part of me does not understand this deal at all. Atkinson is the one guy, the one guy especially, who actually loves and wants to be in Columbus.

Yeah, if only from a pure talent perspective, I’d take Atkinson over Voracek every day. I wonder how Torts feels about that…

Still waiting on details of the Reinhart trade, apparently due to problems with the way the draft pick conditions were worded.

Meanwhile...

LA gets: F Brayden Burke, F Tyler Steenbergen
ARI gets: D Cole Hults, F Boko Imama

Makar signs for 6 years for $54M.

Reports out that Sam Reinhardt going to Florida. If true and Eichel leaving this is another franchise leaking oil.

[The Great Zo]

Absolutely unbelievable for them to make that selection. The ESPN hosts were stunned. The entire hockey media twitter world was stunned. What a pathetic ending to an otherwise-amazing day.

[dmaxf9]

Certainly was not about class. Liked Minnesota’s choices for announcing their picks.

[dmaxf9]

Not sure what Montreal was thinking with the 31st pick. Certainly was about class!

[TexasBolt]

What is Carolina doing?

Reminding everyone they have the worst owner in the league, by the looks of it.

[Flycoon]

What is Carolina doing?

Preparing to move to QC?

[Flycoon]

Step right up! Who'll be next in line to roster this miscreant?? (oh, it'll happen...)

Quenneville craves him.
