NHL Media Week Post Week 1

Since no one else will.

Trades:

The Red Wings have traded nothing & nehxC & Hullzeh to the Canucks for C H U 7 K Y & Smitnee

Wings absolutely win this trade. Chucky a G7 type center while adding Smitnee who upgrades line depth. Even though im sure nehxC is soild they were able to dump Hullzeh even with a disgusting contract.

The Blackhawks have traded cj142 & GrumpyRatbagz & Swedezy to the CBJ Gaming for Dylbxrt & Titan2215 & heeI--

Id say this trade is fairly even. Heel is the large determining factor in this one. If he plays well or at least up to his conty i d say Chicago won.

End of Post Week 1 Trades

Draft Picks Watch.

Power Rankings

Starting with the West

1. Ducks Gaming (7-2)
Similar story above Mclovin, KingKap, BobbyOrr4 (LOL). Based on screen in front of me im slotting these guys at the one slot. They already beat Dallas, and the dgroup i feel is stronger. Shoutout to the goalies who both had great weeks.

2. Dallas Stars (7-2)
No surprise to anyone here that they are off to a flaming hot start. Jclaus, Ethancy, Tommy the big names but the real surprise is @Demzy 94. Leads the team in points with 13 and 2nd in puck possession. No real huge holes or weaknesses. D depth (AYO) does lack but so does every other team in the league. Goalies surprising low numbers but we ll see if its a problem in 3 weeks.

3. Edmonton Oilers (6-2-1)
Edmonton with a fabulous. Most likely would of had an even better record but early vacations slowed the early winning streak for the Oilers. Im skeptical of the first line, i feel we need to see more of a challenge put up against line 1 for me to be fully on board with this team.

4. Nashville Predators (7-2)
Overall solid team. No crazy superstars. I don't necessarily know what line 1 is for this team. Most likely will be around this spot most of the season in the rankings unless someone or something pops off. Probably one of the better wing groups in the league.

5. Winnipeg Jets. (4-4-1)
I think the management group is very underrated skill wise. But i feel them spending 10 mill on a LD will backfire massively especially when you could of made 2 really good forward lines and still have Andyboy and Nana as the Lds. Rooting for them but unless they somehow add more firepower to the forwards its gonna be difficult.

6. Vancouver Canucks (5-4)
WEST. This is a wait and see type of team. They have a number of players coming back to LG. They just made a trade in which in my opinion brings them down.

7. Minnesota Wild (4-4-1)
MrWorldwide built a strong venter group but gave them no wingers! (Outside of Hxrlan ofc) I think some upgrades at d would help as well. More then 5 mill in cap space for them to make some sort of move.

8. Arizona Coyotes (4-3-2)
I should put this team lower. 3 THREE 3 forwards with 0 ZERO points. Shutout 2 games and the LD scored one goal the last. Im shocked there's no shakeup. The only reason there not way lower is because of the great d core they have. If they don't see improvement id be expecting a lot of changes next week.

9. Seattle Kraken (2-7)
A bad week. But i do think you ll see them rebound big time. I do think they need to trade for a couple different wingers.

10. Colorado Avalanche (3-5-1)
Someone help out that goalie. Keeping them in games but the offense isnt carrying its part of the deal.

11. Blues
12. BlackHawks
13. Kings
14. Sharks
15. Flames


EAST
1. Carolina Hurricanes (8-1)
THESE CANES?? They had alot of close games but seem to pull out everytime.
I dont think they keep this pace by any means but will probably float at the top of the east all szn. Easily having the strongest RW group in the whole league. Shoutout to Winston Payne that had 3 shutouts out of 3 games.

2. Detroit Red Wings (2-5-2)
BAD week. But eith the recent transactions these guys will be right back to the top. Larky,Chucky,Jason is a SCARY forward line. II just hope the third line finds some answers or they could be holding down thhis team all season.

3. Buffalo Sabres (5-3-1)
Love this team. Dangs made a great second line. Unsure what his first is? But i know he made a chem third. All the pieces together should keep this team top 4 of the East.

4. Caps Gaming (3-3-3)
Slowish start. Expected more with how good the forward group is. Im sure they ll straighten out.

5. StretchTooREAL Rangers (5-3-1)
i think sketch just wanted to speak french with people.

6. Isles GT (5-4-0)
Are we gonna see deke play real lines this szn or scrub hunt? I dont think he has the depth like he did last szn for him to be able to do what he did last szn and finish high in this conference. Time will tell.

7. Philadelphia Flyers (6-1-2)
in my opinion they overpreformed week 1. I hope they go out and prove me wrong. The top 4 d core is strong but im not a huge fan of the forwards.

8.Florida Panthers (7-1-1)
Woah a good Schlarchey team? Hell of a week. 5 forwards had 6 points. Everyone did there job. Schlarchey on the other hand is the teams 2 losses lol. If the rest of the team continue to backpack schlarchey theyll have a dcent season and probably yoffs?

9.Toronto Maple Leafs (6-2-1)
Great top 6. Im just worried they went way to cheap on defense. They ll probably rank alot higher in future rankings.

10. Montreal Canadians (3-5-1)
Bad week from a strong team. Third line struggled with a 0-3 night. Once this team starts clicking theyll easily be top 6 in the east.

11.Tampa Bay Lightning
12. Senators
13.Penguins
14. Bruins
15. NJD
16. CBJ

That is it for this weeks writeup. Goodluck week 2!

 

You put a 2-7 team on 2nd and a 3-6 team on 4th if that doesn’t scream favoritism towards your fellow psner teams idk what does

 

When Deke finds out power rankings don’t necessarily mean standings

 

Great job @Greaseh way to lead ur city. Keep up the good work. @l Yahtzeee l need u to step up for the brand.

 

Penguins bottom 4 in the East is a nuclear take. Go Ducks

 

Winston Payne is fucking elite. ROLL CANES!

 

Man y’all really gonna make me do a write up with all these shit takes?

 

What's the point of a power rankings if seasons standings don't matter lol.

 

Who said they don’t matter?

 

Yes we’d love to hear media and insights from anyone really. Especially someone with 700 gps in THEE LGNHL. Even if it’s a below .500 record and only came up with TWO wins last season we sure believe you have a lot of knowledge to spread to the league!

 

If you had any kind of brain available in that head of yours and did your research you would see I was on fwd last season. My most prior season on defense I won 17. NEXT.

 

You really do cut corners when ya do things eh?

 

You forget that Sleatz made the all star team!

 

watch out for me as i get sui’d into a different timeline

 

Welcome to lg my man

 

Yea no im sure theyd much rather be getting it from someone who has spent 4 years playing on this site to have still never played an NHL game if he wasnt granted owner. Much better. Find a mirror.

 

It’s okay my team played 6 first lines last week and instead of doing the research he just attacked me and said we have no depth so it felt good when my depth shit on 1 of his better lines last night

 

Gour talking like he wasn’t one of the last bids in bidding. Not the same Gour begging in SB begging for a bid right?

 

Congrats here’s a trophy for beating a line that’s never played together, it’s the same trophy you got for coming in second place last szn.

 

Get it, cause I’m not actually giving you a trophy, just like how you didn’t get one last szn.
