Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

If the Leafs go for Hanifin and #2 Marner would be involved, doubt they trade Andersen.

/about Vegas ... its been talked about many times before about how certain gms "outsmarted" themselves by trading assets to protect other players or make Vegas take a certain player.

Which would not have been a problem had the league used the same rules as before.

That's a lot different team with Calvert instead of Karlsson...

Hmmm, that's interesting, but then who plays goal for the Leafs? Sparks time?

TABASCO TIME

"Rod is the greatest leader in the history of this franchise, and has earned the opportunity to take charge of our locker room," Waddell said in a statement.

Hurricanes name Brind'Amour head coach, Waddell as GM

I like Rod Brind'amour and know he has an impeccable reputation as a leader. But for fuck's sake Don your franchise literally just fired Ron Francis.

What a shitty thing to say.


Wonder what Francis did to piss them off so much?

Right. Sparks may be a dud but he has done everything you could want at the AHL level.

Oh, I doubt they do it too. Andersen is good but is he the guy to take them to the Cup I think is a reasonable debate.

Another way to look at it is: are the Leafs better with Gardiner/Andersen or Hanifin/Sparks plus a #2?

As @dash said, interesting idea.

Fun fact: There are currently three players still capable of winning three consecutive cups.

Bonino (Nashville)
Kunitz (TBL)
Fleury (VGK)

Brad Marchand defended his on-ice antics throughout the postseason but took a new tone Wednesday as the Boston Bruins cleaned out their lockers.

Marchand received a formal warning from the NHL to stop licking opponents after the second incident of the postseason. He said Wednesday he needs to look in the mirror and "cut that (expletive) out"

But only one will do it.

But only one will do it.

I disagree.

 

[tducey]

Yeah, Waddell and Brindamour seem to be very underwhelming hires for Carolina. As to the Leafs, I don't think Andersen's the goalie that leads them to the Cup. He's a good stop gap but they need to look at other goalie options (Develop one).

[dare2be]

I disagree.

Really? How do you expect more than one of them to do it?

Jets and Caps could win and none of them do it.

first and foremost, Luca's Pizza <- also a former Duck
Nash: Nick Bonino, Yannick Weber

that's it, I think
Canucks are not a breeding ground for champions.
but if you want to find a boatload of alumn, check the Spengler Cup roster.
