.500 and on a 3 match heater. Who's next on the gunslingers' wanted poster...oh. Pretty interesting (to me anyway) to look back at the biggest trade in hockey history with Sandog going from the basement to a tie for third so far, and just a game back of danny for first in his division. Meanwhile, OC's living the dream and at risk of being caught by Schlichy and a game back of pletch who seems to have gone AWOL. I still think it was a great trade for both sides and fun because why the hell not? But I think the results are curious when you think about why it seems it would never happen in the real world. I mean, imagine Edmonton was able to swing a 3 way deal to get Jake Oettinger and then package him with Draisaitl and send him to Chicago for Bedard. Does it happen and if not, which side says no? Assume that Chicago can flag both as Keepers by re-signing them. Chicago probably doesn't sell off every other NHL player they had if that's the path they take, including possibly re-signing Kane. Put Kane on Draisaitl's wing and Hall on the other (until he gets hurt) and put Oettinger in net and you realistically have a shot at a wild card spot. If Chicago gets literally anything of value from some of their other young assets, they could turn it around in a year or two - probably not as fast as Sandog, but he at least kept 7 other players. Put Bedard under McDavid's wing? Allow the Oil to top up in some other areas? Insulate them against the possibility of Conner #1 deciding to flee for warmer climes? I think I take that deal if I'm Chicago - a top centre and a potential franchise goalie for a kid who might be a generational player, but it could be a generation before you build a winner around him. It will be 9 years since Edmonton drafted McDavid by the time the next season starts. And boy, of all the trades you could make for Draisaitl if you're Edmonton, this is maybe the one that makes you think you took a small step back but could end up taking a bigger one forward very soon. It was a pretty great trade and can see why both side pulled the trigger. Was funny when Danny and I said they were crazy, but we both picked a different person to direct the comment too.. And OC was right... It lands right in the middle. OC should have another generational play and keeps his breast implants at max capacity for a long time down the road and San is just instantly better... Even thought he has to look at a player named Sidesalad. Implants can always go bigger.

This season has been just brutal for me. Pasta and McD have still been good, but this year Nate and Kooch are the flavor of the day atop scoring. Montour went from my top D to a pumpkin. And where this trade actually hurt me the most was in goal. Otter gone, and I replaced with Skinner except that Skinner was a complete disaster. I waited and waited but he seriously looked done. So I drop him and... the 16 game win streak happens. NJD have also been weak along with their goaler. An area of strength for me has been a black hole, and the season is on the bubble.

Hughes has just killed you with the injuries, too. I think there was a point a few seasons back where I picked him up on waivers and then dropped him because he looked like he was never going to be healthy enough to be a dominant scorer. That might be when I picked up Hischier because both were toxic on a terrible team with injury issues. But I had to kick myself when he was en fuego at times last year and early this year, only to then be reminded why I had to drop him. Kid's a McDavid level star - or close to - if he could ever stay healthy and maximize that talent.

4 straight for the gunslingers, pointing straight at Nick Suzuki and the CC whatevers. If record means anything, and or games lost to IR (how does danny have no one on IR???), the winning streak is in jeopardy, but the app is saying there's a 97% chance of playoffs for the 'slingers.

But the good thing is, a couple more losses like that and Schlichy will get the chance to draft Celebrini...or you could trade McDavid for him. Had to feel for Al. All the games were over and the scoreboard showed a narrow win for Al over the shepherds. But Demko's win points hadn't come through yet. Starting to bunch up at the top with Al and all his Canucks hitting a slump, while danny and sizz roll on.

I have one of the better athletic training staffs. They patch you up, and send you back on to the ice. I don't carry upper body injury soft types...William Karlsson was the only long-term IR guy and he's back...

Step Two: Watch the fun unfold. Some of us have to work at this stuff. OC just lived off the fat of the land and I think some B's. *20 points on the bench*

From the way your season has gone, I think the feeling is mutual.

Anyone else having trouble setting/saving their lineups?it's happened to me several times this season, yesterday I made sure I put Hellebuyk in, along with other players, only to be notified he was starting but not in my line up. Too late though, other goalie who was not playing game began so I could not put him in. I put them in, hit save, look at it etc...
