They might as well do what they can to get EK while they’re still in win-now mode

 

So Vegas is all-in huh

 

Did not think that Pacioretty would go for 4 years only, this is a great contract for Vegas. Makes you wonder what the Kings wanted to offer Pacioretty for him to pull out of the deal.

 

remember the taxes in CA are insane whereas there is no state income tax in Nevada

 

Bruins bringing Winnik and Stempniak in on PTOs. I have no clue why they signed Wagner and Nordstrom on day one when decent forwards are usually always available this time of year

 

Makes sense, thanks.

 

Can we get some pissed off Hab fan tweets in here? They HAVE to stay competitive bro

 

Reportedly, neither Nylander's nor Nurse's contract negotiations are going well.

[insert trade speculation here]

 

The Seattle Times sent an email out about a “naming competition” for the new club, with the winner (by votes) being announced on 10/8. it is unofficial but they came up with artwork for each name and everything.

The names:
Kraken
Emeralds
Sockeyes
Freeze
Steelheads
Pilots
Sasquatches
Totems
Cascades
Grunge
Metropolitans
Fightin’ Geoducks

 

Literally all of those are bad lol

I kinda like the Seattle Freeze

 

Seattle tsunamis or gtfo

 

I like the Metropolitans since they were a professional hockey team before and are already on the Stanley Cup. I would be down with Sasquatch being singular because big foot is tight.

 

Emeralds could grow on me but is too plain

Kraken sounds fun now but don't think the enthusiasm for it would last

NY already has Mets, no need for another

Cascade (singular) has possibilities

no idea what a fucking Geoduck is, let alone a fighting one. had to google it. looks like a penis. great.

sockeyes are scary looking fish, so maybe

Steelheads are already an Idaho hockey team name

 

Seattle it's too fucking hot out here please abolish frackings

 

All those names suck a bloated ass. Gonna reiterate what I said in the 2018 thread

 

They honestly should. They've already kicked the "rebuild" four years down the line and have a core locked up until their mid-30's. Might as well get another high-end talent to open that Cup window. They barely have any prospects as it is so who gives a shit.

 

OK what in the hell is this?!

 

Tfw your organization is normal

 

That was umm, an interesting interview

 

Fare thee well

 

sell the team melynk
