Well at least NA isn’t missing anything

in Justin Faulk to Detroit has been confirmed for a 1st and 3rd per Darren Dreger.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

McMann to Kraken for 2nd and 4th

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I didn’t mean to mini-Mact but it applies

[Cacophony]

What and exciting deadline

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Bummed about Buch

Why did Calgary trade for Ryan Strome? That seems antithetical to a tank?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Well he hasn’t been any good this year so maybe it will help

[Grand Moff Larkin]

The Avs got Kadri back?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Avalanche get: Center Nazem Kadri (20 percent of salary retained), 2027 fourth-round pick

Flames get: 2028 first-round pick, 2027 second-round pick, winger Victor Olofsson, forward Max Curren

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Calgary traded Jacob Battaglia to New York for Brennan Othmann.

Othmann was the 16th overall pick in 2021, right after Cossa

[Cacophony]

Another snoozer. How the fuck do these losers keep their jobs?

‘Well I don’t want to make the team worse so I held onto our valuable players that will help us miss the playoffs’

[practice]

I think a few of us here have spent at least a year or two cheering for the worst run team in the league since the leafs were last the worst run team in the league but it's nice to be back on top

SNES lost Sanderson last night, unsure of severity but that could be the death blow of their playoff hopes (which feel about 50/50 at best otherwise)

They have Vancouver next so probably can manage fine for that game but anything other than a game or two is a mortal wound
