@NDRedEagle Just not win much, per that team you referenced ;)

Twenty-eight years ago hockey players could get around the ice just fine without $1000 skates.

@UpTheTurnpike No.

Should the Islanders consider playing Matthew Schaefer on the right side? #Isles

@DailyFaceoff @JLazzy23 @Rupper17 @StapeNHL @bet365ca Arthur needs to make his question more wordy next time.

"As soon as I heard that a player didn't want to be here, no matter how good he is... he wouldn't be there." Lou Lamoriello doesn't hold ANYTHING back on Ep. 47 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast. @JLazzy23 | @Rupper17 | @StapeNHL Presented by @bet365ca #bet365 🎧shorturl.at/mqe6b 📺youtu.be/8FgGwmLNZlc

@TheFourthPeriod “And break as many NHL protocols as possible…”

Leafs GM John Chayka says there's no set timeline as to when they plan on hiring a new head coach. "We're going to take our time, do a wide search and talk to a lot of people."

@frank_seravalli @PKSubban1 @espn Dick move. I couldn’t tell what he did at first, but after reading the comments, pretty clear he jabs him with the butt end.

McCarron did not hold back in his intermission chat with @PKSubban1 on @espn: “I mean, you played against Josh. He’s a dirty player. He’s always been. Surprised he got away with only a 4-minute. I’m happy he’s still in the game.”

@NDRedEagle Yeah. That team was carried by Price (no pun intended). This team is much better built.

Is this Montreal Canadiens team better than the one that went to Cup Final in 2021?

@WYermal @stefen_rosner @TheElmonters Agree. He’s way too important to the long-term health of the franchise to be putzing around with his position.

@stefen_rosner @TheElmonters Leave him on the left. Let someone else switch sides.

The #Isles may have some blue-line decisions coming over the next few years. One thing that could help solve future problems? Matthew Schaefer’s ability to comfortably play either side. @TheElmonters theelmonters.com/p/matthew-scha…

@NDRedEagle In a heartbeat. Hate that contract.

I'd probably make this trade, but probably looking at a late-round 1st. Barkov, Reinhart, Verhaeghe, Ekblad, Tkachuk, Forsling, and Lundell are all 30-or-younger right now. Seth Jones 31. Low Florida tax helps them to keep their best players, and bring in UFAs for less money.

@stefen_rosner @sydneyemartin @TheElmonters Read this initially as crappy Edmonton music.

“[Schaef] likes really crappy EDM music that he would blast in the basement before games, and he doesn’t like tomatoes.” — @sydneyemartin Pretty sure it wasn’t the EDM remix of Free Bird. More from Sydney on living with Schaefer @TheElmonters #Isles ⤵️ theelmonters.com/p/matthew-scha…

@ian_LGI16 With Holmstrom, he would have to be the NHL player piece in a package to get a star player. Like 70-80 point guy. It doesn’t make sense to just bring in say a 50 point forward who probably doesn’t give you the same defensive benefits as Holmstrom.

3 hot takes for the #isles offseason 1. Move one of Pelech or Romanov this offseason 2. Simon holmstrom should be available in any trade for a legit top 6 winger 3. Quiet offseason with the forwards and letting eiserman battle for an opening spot might not be bad

@stefen_rosner They never make it there without him.

Jack Capuano is going to the second round #mnwild

@NDRedEagle Agreed. Even before Roy turned him into the new Tsyplakov with the healthy scratches, he never really got much opportunity on scoring lines. Roy’s line combos were all over the place. He actually did look good for a stretch with Horvat and Heineman just before Horvat got injured.

I'd like to see Shabanov under a different coach. At least give him a 20-game run in the top-9.

@stefen_rosner @TheElmonters Aside from the now frequently noted issue with high danger chances, what were some other fatal flaws to Patrick Roy‘s tenure?

#Isles fans, drop you questions/comments below for tomorrow morning’s @TheElmonters Free Friday mailing ⤵️

@stefen_rosner Tikkanen is 25 and has mostly been a boost to the team. He should have the reins there.

Safe to say that Kotai and Tikkanen are your Hamilton goaltenders for next season. Really intrigued by Kotai. Think he's got NHL potential. #Isles

@Rainmaker1973 Obviously prompting him to do it by touching his tail.

A Japanese man shared the moments he was attacked by his pet binturong (bearcat).

@stefen_rosner @TheHockeyNews Roy guy. Makes sense.

#Isles assistant coach Benoit Desrosiers has been relieved of his coaching duties, the team confirms. Wishing him nothing but the best. Did a lot of great work in the FO dot his two-plus seasons on Long Island. @TheHockeyNews thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-i…

@SherminatorGame @stefen_rosner @TheHockeyNews You’re just going to replace him with someone else you’ll want gone in a year.

@stefen_rosner @TheHockeyNews Now do the rest of them. Start with Bennett

@SperryTime I agree with your overall point. But 25-35 since 2015 is 100 draft picks. You listed about 20, and I would say maybe five are actual stars. The rest are mostly replaceable role players. And that’s before you get to the 80 something players that never made it.

Players picked 25-35 since 2015: -Jack Roslovic -Anthony Beauvillier -Sebastian Aho -Tage Thompson -Brett Howden -Trent Frederic -Sam Steel -Jordan Kyrou -Jake Oettinger -Morgan Frost -Henri Jokiharju -Eeli Tolvanen -Nicholas Hague -Nils Lundkvist -Rasmus Sundin -Connor Mcmichael -Shane Pinto -Bobby Brink -Jake Neighbours -Ridly Grieg -Mavrik Bourque -JJ Peterka -Olen Zellweger -Cal Ritchie -Easton Cowan -Igor Chernyshov In the 2015-2020 range you have either star players, good players, or at least role players with 400+ games. In the 2020-2025 range it slims down likely because we’re waiting for guys to develop. Perhaps should’ve done this list from 2010-2020 but you can see a bit of a trend where it’s basically 30% that you get a career NHL player in that range. And about a 10% chance of landing a true impact player. Have to stop treating late firsts as disposable picks. 30% is nowhere near something to scoff at in these lottery contexts.

@stefen_rosner Stefen, please talk to Bezos about this.

Tonight's game is NOT on Amazon Prime.

@aar0ncpa @stefen_rosner I wasn’t following that one either. Don’t you want him “NHL”-ing in the AHL?

@stefen_rosner Why does Ritchie need to adjust?

Final thoughts after B-#Isles 2-0 L to Hershey: - Bridgeport was the better team - Think Ritchie needs to readjust from NHL - Team collectively needs to find a way to get to dirty areas more - You could tell it was first taste of playoffs for a lot of these guys
