I've created an NHL draft Google Sheet covering 2000 to 2024. The sheet can be used to filter and find different information, such as how many players from the 2023 draft have played at least 1 NHL game to date (9). Feel free to access and share docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@Jeffs_Penguins Should be able to on an Amateur Tryout contract.

Can Zonnon join WBS?

@Jeffs_Penguins @_j_a_k_e_d Tough position. Signing Malkin does nothing to make this team a contender. They are done in that phase. But if they have no better option internally or on the UFA market, and Dubas isn't heavy on the trade market...not bringing him back is a bad look, especially for new owners.

@_j_a_k_e_d That's a Pipe Dream Jim Nill isn't trading Robertson for a bunch of C Prospects

I could be very well wrong as I am not an insider, but I think they are going to let Malkin walk in hopes of getting younger and faster for next year. Just my opinion

@7StarMike @flowcompanion @sovereignsense Pittsburgh. Overachieved to make the playoffs. Ready for rebuild mode post-Crosby, coming very soon.

@RandomHockeyGuy @flowcompanion @sovereignsense P.S. Just watched the Knights win game 1. These guys are killing it! Who's your team?

Hey everyone, it's Finally here! All of my new education and alerts are now available in our @flowcompanion server. The April alerts were AMAZING, you can check those out at the Google Docs link.

Excited to start this new venture with @sovereignsense and @FSInvest_CIO docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… whop.com/flowcompanion

@Jeffs_Penguins @rosemoczulski1 They really shouldn't be that far off from that phase.

@RandomHockeyGuy @rosemoczulski1 Imo, if u don't Re-sign Geno... I'd Trade every player over 30 & just burn it down.

I don't understand this at all... Just sign him

@Jeffs_Penguins @rosemoczulski1 If there were tons of options in UFA, I could see Dubas wanting to go a different direction. Madden also made the case that Kindel and Chinakhov should be on PP1 and Malkin is blocking that. If Dubas doesn't sign him nor trade for some younger top 6 help....yikes!!!

@rosemoczulski1 I agree lol.. I just don't understand letting it get to this place?? Just sign him, he's earned that I'm pissed at Dubas

If anyone wants to watch Wheeling or WBS in the playoffs, @FloHockey has a deal right now for $120 for a full year (9.99 a month billed annually) versus normal 39.99 a month ($480 for the year). Just signed up. You also get OHL, QMJHL, USHL, College, and a few others.

@_j_a_k_e_d I'm ok with a one year deal. Too much risk on anything more with his age and injury history. If Dubas doesn't bring him back, he'll need to make a big play for a top 6 center. Kindel isn't ready and Novak ain't it.

I know that people are obviously going to shit on me for this but in my honest opinion, I am not bringing Malkin back next year. I get it will be sad yada yada but did you see his legs the entire playoff series? I am all for a younger second line and different look on PP. Sorry

@jmarshfof Deserves to be in the goalie rotation next season. I'm ok with an average goalie that excels in the playoffs, and Silovs has now done it for Vancouver, Abbotsford, and Pittsburgh. Silovs and Murashov/Blomqvist should be interesting next season.

What a performance tonight from Arty Silovs. Don’t know what else to say.

@kelsey_surmacz4 Outshot the Flyers 23-11 3rd period and OT. Penguins were getting the zone time and continued chances, while Flyers were mostly one and done. Penguins deserved better, but too many guys cold in the playoffs...Chinakhov, Mantha, Kindel and Karlsson.

That's a shame, man. Silovs deserved better. The Penguins had so many opportunities to end this. 1-0 is the final with the minutes fading away in OT. The Flyers win the series, 4-2, and the #LetsGoPens are eliminated in the first round. Heartbreaking loss.

@Jeffs_Penguins Yes if you are Ristolainen. No if you are Lizotte. NHL consistency at its finest.

So u can just check ppl after the play?

@MarkMaddenX Penguins lost the momentum they had in the first period when all the penalties came in the 2nd. A suspicious 10 minute stoppage by the refs to sort out simple calls didn't help.

The Flyers won the first two. The Pens gave this one away.

@kelsey_surmacz4 The high stick wasn't that hard...BUT....the play wasn't active. Crosby isn't expecting someone to hit him in the face with a stick at that point. It's unexpected more than embellishment. Can they look to see if it was under the visor? Was it near his eye? Very BS call.

Hathaway high-sticks Crosby in the faceoff dot. Hathaway goes. But Crosby goes, too? Oh my. Crosby for embellishment when he was actually high-sticked. Not sure what the reasoning is here. 4v4 ensues. Pens lead 1-0 with 1:13 left in the first. #LetsGoPens

@MarkMaddenX 19 shot attempts, 3 shots on goal. Flyers only have 2 blocked shots. Hitting the net might help a ton.

Nope. Just not controlling.

@JFreshHockey So, if I create an HFBoards account, and continue to post non-stop Matthews to the Penguins for the rights to Noel Acciari and Owen Pickering.....maybe there's a chance????

the idea of getting trade ideas from a robot that's gorged itself on 20 years of HFBoards threads is so sick

@MarkMaddenX Novak back to being invisible. I'd probably sit him.

Who sits?

@rosemoczulski1 @nafsnep Murashov seems like he has the demeanor to shake things off and not get to him. NHL defense isn't great, but it is some of the easy blunders in net that are killing them. Not all the goalies fault, but they aren't doing themselves any favors.

@nafsnep With their defense his confidence will be blown. I'll wouldn't mind Gauthier in Wilkes though.

Sergei Murashov get ready to learn the Pittsburgh Left, buddy.

@Jeffs_Penguins At this point, they should be calling Moe Mantha Anthony instead of Anthony Mantha Moe.

There should be a movie about Anthony Mantha... 30yrs old Traded a cpl times in prior 2yrs, tears ACL, comes back at 31yrs old, and puts up carrer numbers, & is much faster than ever before.

@Jeffs_Penguins Graves is an excellent defenseman....for any team that wants to tank in 2027.

I'm not worried so much about the #LetsGoPens    having a stinker of a game, those happen, especially in back 2 backs. But these are my Concerns : - Which Goalie gets the bulk of the Starts down the stretch here? - Does Murashov get some Games? - Dubas degrading the D-Core on a 2nd place playoff team bf the TDL was surprising, somewhat strange, & very sad for Sid. - Not adding at least 1 Top 6 D-Man at TDL was a failure by the Front Office. - Graves should never play a NHL game again

@kelsey_surmacz4 I agree with Muse. Many, but not all, seemed to be coasting and making lazy plays with the puck for a good portion of the game.

#LetsGoPens coach Dan Muse says this was one of their worst outings of the season, that he takes the blame too, and that they have an opportunity to respond again. "I can't change today. Wish I could, but I can't. So, we're gonna have to learn from it fast, learn from it quick."
