can't imagine how awkward next season would be if he is lame-duck behind the bench,
just because the owner doesn't want to burn a year of his salary
With the GM who hired him sitting somewhere in the building but not being GM.

What a shit show.

Hedman, Doughty, and Subban are your Norris finalists - I would have Seth Jones there instead of Doughty myself.

Jones had a good year but Doughty’s got him by almost every metric. Goals for%, total points, corsi, about the same in blocks, all done while taking 10% more defensive zone starts than Jones.

This would’ve been my 3. Hedman should win it.

Treliving better be right about Peters (if he decides to hire him) because his job is riding on it.

I think Peters will be the next coach for Calgary. He's from Alberta so that will help his cause.

I don't think the Devils acquiring Carlson and Karlsson is greedy at all.

I thought about that today, the Devils getting Erik Karlsson. Don't know who they have to give up for Karlsson but Karlsson would be a heck of a fit with the Devils.

Canucks Could Entertain Trading Sven Baertschi

Even though he is young it is hard to believe he has 7 years of experience.
Anyway I agree if they can get something for him, do it. I don't see him a key piece of their rebuild.

It's a tough one because he has trouble staying healthy, but he has the ability to be a 20 goal and 40 to 45 point man. The fact that he played in Portland and I think was there when Travis Green was an assistant coach could factor into the Canucks keeping him.

kind of depends on the prospects. Gaudette showed in his few games that he belongs in the line up
I think after Petterson's golden* performance he's being pencilled in now,
Jonathan Dahlen looks (very small sample size alert) to be potentially above the AHL level
Virtanen / Goldobin should be regulars now
Even Lukas Jasek (6th round pick a couple of years ago) is turning heads in his short time in Utica,
Grandlund and Baetschi both have to earn their spots.

there's only so much room in top 9. well, 2 more spots without Sedins now....
given the points pissing with Sedins gone,, i don't think they can afford to give up Baertschi's 20 or so (if healthy)
He had great chemistry with Horvat and Boeser as well.

This is the only one where Jackets fans have a right to feel slighted.

There has been grumbling that Bob should have gotten a Vezina nod and PLD should have gotten a rookie of the year nod. Some even said Wennberg should get recognition for the Selke (what?)

But all that is Homerism.


But Jones? Jones could have been nominated here.

If Jones was nominated then John Carlson not being nominated would've been a travesty.

I wouldn't be surprised if they rounded out the top 5 finalists though.

Heard an interesting take, I believe it was an Eastern Conference GM, said Seth Jones and Werenski individually aren't the best but as a pair they are the best.

Notice I didn't say "should" have been, just could. I watched every game and didn't look at one spreadsheet and I saw a guy who played 25+ a night, was effective at stopping every star player and never got beat one on one. I didn't watch enough Doughty or Hedman to know how they looked. I know Subban is Subban.

Bob wasn't consistent enough to get a nod and PLD had a great year, but holy cow Barzal, Boeser, Hischier, MacAvoy, Keller all had really really great years.

And that may have been the difference. Jones is stellar on his own, though. But no one ever sees him on his own.
