NHL Season 2018-19
- Thread starter MJ5150

Even though none of my teams are in the Erik Karlsson race, it's still pretty exciting following the drama. One day, he's heading to Vegas. The next, Dallas is the frontrunner. And Tampa Bay won't go away.
Just read an interesting fact...JT Miller, who just recently signed a nice 5-yr extension, does NOT have any trade protection clauses in his new contract. And Yzerman must jettison a fair amount of salary to acquire EK. Sorry, JT, we hardly knew ye, off to Ottawa you go, joining Matt Duchene in Hockey Oblivion.

Rumours flying around, mostly out of Pittsburgh, that the Pens are exploring a trade for Pacioretty. Also heard Brassard being thrown about in the equation.

I’ll just leave this here.....
Tavares is a Leaf!

God let's hope so. Montreal needs centers, and have too many left wings. That deal would excite me even more for next season to start!
Bergevin, being a complete moron, would end up trading the one player who consistently scores 30+ goals for a defenceman. I mean we have "the best goalie in the world". We don't need to score goals, right?
Subscribed. Thanks Mike for taking the lead and thanks to the TB hockey community for your insight and passion for the game.
I've been ignoring stories about the Pens signing Jack Johnson since I don't like the move.
Just today though I read the comments from John Tortorella taking issue with Johnson saying he wanted to play in a winning culture. The Pens won two of the last three SC's John. You may have an up and coming team in Columbus, but the Pens do have you beat on winning culture right now.

Think we are starting to see history repeat itself here. Tortellini had some fast success with two teams, but quickly lost the players respect on both of them. Teams only seem to respond to his "methods" for a short time before they quit on him.
Yeah, typical Tortorella. I honestly like the guy most of the time, but sometimes he needs to pause and count to 10 before opening his mouth. Sure, Torts, going to a recent two-time champ vs staying with the ONLY NHL team that has never won a playoff series. You tell me...who has a winning culture? And who doesn't?
Just my opinion, but despite Johnson's denials I personally think he meant every word of it aimed at Tortorella. He's the guy that benched him, after all.

Jack Johnson? I knew he was a competitive surfer, but he plays hockey too! How does he find time to tour and record new albums.
Judging by his performance on the ice last year, the music career was the priority. I think he sent someone else to the games in his jersey.
-Mike
Yes, and we didn't get one. We got a guy who used to be a defenseman, when he was good. Now, he's just a warm body.
Meanwhile, Rutherford let Bernier slip right on by.
-Mike
I miss Bernier. Solid backup/1b goalie. He would have been a good pickup for you guys.
Johnson has good potential as depth defenseman. He’s had a brutal few years personally, and wasn’t happy in Columbus. Hopefully a change in scenery will do him good. You’ve got 5 years to find out, lol
