How do you figure? This year is going to see a fuckton of movement because of the compliance buyouts and teams trying to get down to the cap.

I don't see anyone of real consequence getting bought out. Mainly with the new rules stars aren't going to leave their drafted team as frequently. You'll have the second tier shuffle where bottom teams overpay top 6 forwards, but there aren't going to be that many shake ups.

And also the wings aren't going to shit, so it will be personally boring for me.

Maybe bruins can trade for Corey Crawford and finally get a real goalie instead of that sieve they currently got

I agree that after this season there's probably going to be a bit less player movement than there was previously. But this offseason there will be plenty of it. Even if big players aren't getting bought out, probably half or more (if not all) of the teams in the league are going to be using one or both of their compliance buyouts to free up cap space. That will provide them with flexibility to either sign guys that were bought out, go after UFAs/RFAs, or trade for bigger salaries. There's going to be a lot of movement.

predictions for tonight?

having regained their offensive prowess and neutralized Boston's amazing "right glove side" strategy, hawks cruise to a 4-1 victory in game 6.

Corey Crawford drops a deuce in his glove right on the rink, leaves the glove at center ice as a memento for Boston fans.
