Heck of a job Kenny. He’s destroying the NHL’s most prestigious franchises one at a time.

Quinn Hughes and the Wild knock out Dallas and move on to a clash with Colorado  

3 goals on 6 shots past Ingram, Ducks lead Edmonton 3-1 late in the 1st  

 

 

Congrats to Bill Guerin for having the sack to make a big move and trade for Quinn Hughes even without a contract commitment.   He knew it wouldn’t be a waste even if he couldn’t sign him long term.   Even if it’s only 2 years,  it’s been a massive success winning their first playoff series in a decade.

kenny holland to stan bowman.

the nhl old boys club strikes again.

Holland got the Oilers to back to back SCF. One win and two wins away from the Cup. He did his job.

Stan Bowman sucks, I'm not sure how anyone would have thought that goalie trade was a good idea.

Oh man I forgot about the Trent Frederic contract ol rapist protector Stan handed out until I got to reddit:

Trent Frederic stats for Year 1 of his 8 year extension: 74GP 4G 3A 7P -15+/- with 0 points and 2 healthy scratches in the playoffs

 

Another fun thing: Jack Campbells buyout cap hit goes up next season.  They're paying Jarry and Campbell a combined $8 million next season!  And they're stuck with Jarry for two more years because of that trade!

 

Absolutely amazing work

conor mcdavid and leon draisatl did that.  ken got them darnell nurse's contract.

Holland did some good in Edmonton, the Hyman and Ekholm acquisitions were good and the RNH deal is great.

Unfortunately things like the Campbell and Nurse contracts also happened.  To a lesser extent things like Kassian's extension and the Athanasiou trade too.

Fascinating to read the Jim Nill is going to have some tough decisions to make thought pieces already coming out after the Stars fall short yet again.  GMing seems hard!

A fair bit of uncertainty in Pittsburgh as well. 8 years without getting out of the 1st round.
