Oilers are the hottest team in the league with a 15 game win streak and 23-3-0 in their last 26 games.

They’ll fall back to earth at some point. They’re SoS in the past 15 games is .477. Over 26 it’s a bit better. Though they don’t have that difficult of a schedule left in reality.

Let’s go Vegas!  Up 3-1 on the rangers.  If the rangers lose, canes can have 1st place tmrw in the metro with a win 

Would be tied with Rags for 1st place at 61 points if Canes win tomorrow assuming Rags lose which they’re on the way to doing. Vegas up 4-1 with 12 minutes left in the 3rd.

It appears the Columbus Blue Jackets are open for business.

General manager Jarmo Kekalainen is willing to listen to trade offers for forward Patrik Laine and defenseman Ivan Provorov, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.

Teams are also very interested in captain Boone Jenner, but the Blue Jackets are highly unlikely to move him, Dreger added.

Laine's season has been riddled by injuries and inconsistent play, as he's been limited to just six goals and three assists in 18 games. The sniping winger also had an unsuccessful stint playing center.

The 2016 No. 2 pick averaged 37 goals per 82 games during the first four seasons of his career with the Winnipeg Jets. Since joining Columbus during the 2020-21 campaign, he's averaged 30 goals per 82 contests but hasn't played more than 56 games a season. The 25-year-old is signed through 2025-26 with an $8.7-million cap hit.

Provorov, meanwhile, was just acquired this offseason from the Philadelphia Flyers as part of a three-way trade involving the Los Angeles Kings. He's recorded 23 points in 46 games for Columbus while logging 22:48 per contest. Provorov has produced strong underlying offensive numbers, but his defensive metrics have been poor.

-----------------------------------------------------

Laine's game is something to behold when he's on, but what a trainwreck for a teammate. Any lockerroom he's in is a mess. Couple that with a very down season and the Jackets are carrying an $8.7M salary thru the 25-26 season. He's on IR now.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
