Of course. That’s still a really high price Tampa paid for him. Hall got a similar pick and a pupu platter of prospects. Coleman got them a similarly ranged pick and a top 50ish prospect.

Schaller, 2nd and prospect Tyler Madden is apparently the package for Toffoli.
Madden was a 3rd round pick in 2018, plays at Northeastern. 38 points in 27 games this year.

That is a steep price for a rental, and Vancouver is nowhere near a Cup contender. FWIW, Madden was 40th on Pronman’s mid-season rankings. Studnicka was 37th, to put into some Bruins perspective.
Vancouver just fucked up the rental market. 1st and really good prospect needed to land Kreider now.
Yeah that's a lot for a very good but not elite UFA winger. Would not want the Bruins to have paid that. I'd rather them target a cheaper depth winger like Jesper Fast
Boeser possibly done for the year. Makes the Toffoli trade for VAN more of a head scratcher.

Probably pressure from ownership to make the playoffs. They haven’t been there since 2015.
Dylan Demelo traded for Winnipeg for a 2020 3rd. Fairly light return.

Defenseman day today. Dillon to Washington for a 2nd and 3rd.

Washington will be a very bad matchup for the Bruins in a playoff series. Lot of big and tough guys.
The hits keep coming. Half-price Scandella to St. Louis for a 2020 2nd and, if Scandella resigns with the Blues, a 2021 4th.

Montreal traded a 4th to Buffalo for Scandella like a month ago. Habs pick up 2nd in addition to the 4th they recouped. Nice work, Sabres.
Watched the McDavid documentary last night. That was insane. He was this close to missing the season and potentially jeopardizing his career.
I can't believe the Oilers were able to keep it under wraps.

Relatively minor deal, but FLA trades depth F Denis Malgin to Toronto for AHL F Mason Marchment. Rare to see two teams battling for the same playoff spot make a trade.
Vegas trades Cody Eakin to Winnipeg for a 4th that could become a 3rd if the Jets make the playoffs or re-sign Eakin.
Straight cap dump for Vegas, have to wonder if they are working on something else.

As unlucky as the bruins have been with injuries in each of their playoff runs for the past decade, I don't think we should be crackin jokes.
Gov. Cuomo is expected to announce that the Islanders will play all of the postseason and next season at Nassau Coliseum before moving to the new arena at Belmont the following year. What a great decision. Barclays Center sucks for hockey and Nassau is such a better atmosphere.
I've never been but my brother said that most of the rinks we played at in our youth were as nice or nicer than Nassau. And we played at a lot of shitholes.
Nassau is a shithole but the logistics are far better than the Barclays Center for all involved. Barclays was built for basketball and events without the slightest thought about hosting hockey. Obstructed views all over the place, the scoreboard is over a blue line, and it’s not an easy ride/commute for the bulk Islanders fans. Players don’t like having to commute to two different arenas either. Nassau is a dump but just seems like a better solution for all parties.
Think Cuomo has been heavily involved and has brokered some of the arena deals between the Isles, NHL, Belmont Project,etc. so that is why he is doing the announcing. I haven’t paid close attention so I could be wrong.

Nassau is a dump but it's less of a dump since the upgrades they did after the Isles originally moved to Brooklyn. My comment about the atmosphere is that it's a barn-type feel to it and gets pretty loud when it's filled up. I've been to a bunch of Bruins games there and an Isles-Rangers game and it can get crazy in there.
Cuomo is involved because he originally was the one who brokered the agreement to split the games between Brooklyn and Nassau for the time being while the new arena at Belmont is being built.

Rangers lose Kreider, the game, and a chance to move into the 2nd wild card spot. Interesting to see where they go from here’s,
Assuming they don't catch the Bruins, they'll beat whatever lame team finishes third in the division with or without him.
The league is very fortunate Ayers played it straight and didn’t give up five goals to benefit the team he is employed by. This is the issue I have with it. The next guy might not be as decent as Ayers and would intentionally let pucks in to benefit his team in a playoff race.
Well it’s happened twice in like 20 years, so you’ll be waiting a while to see it in action again.
Be still my heart

After 3 years of discussions, it appears the NHL will amend the offside rule. Skate in the air...or breaking the plane is expected to be part of the change.

I’m assuming this would be for next season correct? Or are they going to play the post season by a different set of rules NFL style?
What do they mean by breaking the plane? I assume the puck just needs to be touching blue now to be considered in the zone?
I think they are still talking about the skate in the air, breaking the plane of the blue line while in the air, will still be considered on-side. But I am just guessing. If that's the case, why just the skate? Could it be an extended arm as well?
The issue is two-fold right now, IMO:
- Coaches have 60-90 seconds now to decide whether to not to even challenge a play
- Once challenged, it can take upwards of 6 min (i.e. the Detroit game) to reach a verdict. That's just ridiculous - if you can't spot a clear reason to overturn within 90 seconds, it stands.
If anything it introduces more of a gray area. I'd be for leaving the criteria as it as is and adding a 30 second timer to challenge and 60 second timer on the refs to view it and make a decision to overturn or not.
The new player/puck tracking system will start in the playoffs, including the use of new pucks with sensors.
