2017/2018 NHL Season

they got The Flower for free. Pens didn't protect, they had first dibs and didn't have to give up anything for him thanks to expansion draft. Fleury (age and cap hit) was # 3 on Pens depth chart!

 

Marc Andre- Fleury signs 3 year extension to be a Vegas Golden Knight. Most likely Fleury will end his career in Las Vegas.

 

First sweater to hang from the rafters at T-Mobile, Bob.

 

Well deserved...as it should be.

 

Agreed.

 

The Knights continue to sign up their best players

Wild Bill gets a 500% raise next year.

That was a good move

 

Canes move Skinner to Sabres.

 

So glad they got this done.


Go VGK!

 

They still need to improve their defense. They can't rely on Fleury on every shot.

 

Very true, that was apparent during the Stanley Cup Finals.

 

Now that the Phillies' season is over, seems to me one of the informed and gentlemanly hockey posters on here should initiate an NHL 2018-19 thread,

 

Don't be shy - go for it!

You certainly qualify as a gentlemanly hockey poster, Keith.

Go Pens!!

 

I will do it...

 

They're paying him like they are

 

True... but the LV fans love to watch him play.

 

He's a star in the NHL no question. He was incredible against Winnipeg....actually was incredible most of the playoffs.

 

Hi Mike. Thanks for initiating the new thread. There's a lot of hype here in Carolina but my guess is they miss the playoffs again for the 99th straight year. In hiring Brind'Amour, they went for attitude over aptitude. Let's Go Flyers!

 

Isn't it time to finally lock this tired thread up??

 

Yes

 

My pleasure
