Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

He might not be, but outside of him, I can't think of many that would be readily available on the market. Most of the teams that have guys like that are in the east and likely unwilling to trade with us.

That's the big thing. We've all seen that trade deadline prices have gone up in recent years as teams are getting more aggressive in locking their guys up long term.

For the record, I don't think Stewart by himself is worth a 1st either, but I'm always shocked at the deadline how much teams will give up for certain players. Or for how much certain guys get in their new contracts.

I don't think that's enough of a deterrent considering he did the same thing in the playoffs to Dale Weise. Would have preferred 10 games, but don't players have the right to appeal any suspension over five games?

Ted Nolan just realized what’s going on with Sabres this season

After 10 games, Buffalo Sabres coach Ten Nolan has to realize this is a paycheck team.

This is a collection of players that know they’ve been set up to lose, from the crease out, and know that help isn’t on the way until Bill Daly flips over their logo card at the draft lottery next April.

He has to know that this historically bad start – their 10 goals in 10 games is the fourth-fewest in NHL history – isn’t indicative of anything beyond this being a paycheck team.

But he’s a prideful guy, and thus he skated the Sabres through a wall on Wednesday: Bellowing expletives through 85 minutes of muscle-aching practice.

“I always give our team a 10-game grace period. Give them a little bit of rope, and maybe some of them will hang themselves,” he said. “Taking it easy is over now. Maybe I didn’t push them hard enough.”

It’s not exactly rocket surgery to see who isn’t pulling their weight. Drew Stafford has 16 shots in 10 games for a minus-6. Cody “Fourth Line” Hodgson is a minus-7 with two points in 10 games. Tyler Myers is a minus-2 with no points in 10 games.

All three were here last season, and you figure at least one of them is waiting for his inevitable trade out of Buffalo.

LOL


"Who should we call up?"
"Fuck it. I have no idea."
"Okay, I'll just go and pick out a few. Forwards, right?"
"Yes. Take a tranq dart"

If I was any of those guys, I'd steer clear. Coming to Nationwide is CERTAIN DOOM.




Seriously, I expect Rychel, Anderson and Zaar to get their shot(s).

Wow. Never really saw that resemblance before. Now I can't unsee it.

Hartnell may have a better vertical than Larry Bird...

The A-train almost sent Leon Draisaitl all the way to Prince Albert.

Ellis just crushed Taylor Hall with a beauty.

Oilers vs the Western Conference: 0-5-1, 29 GA / 12 GF
Oilers vs the Eastern Conference: 4-0-0, 7 GA / 15 GF

For shame, Eastern Conference.

Nothing like a guy who bitches about racism every chance he gets using a suicide metaphor.

Well I watched Det-Wash yesterday.

I have to say that The Datsyuk hasn't lost a step. What a player. He owned the 3rd period.

And the goal taken away was complete bullshit.

Yeah, Datsyuk is a treat to watch, that's for sure. I also saw a little of the Preds - Oilers game last night and came to the following conclusion: Draisaitl can't skate, he looks like he needs a chair out there to stay upright.

Saw only the result of that one even though it was on. Preds seem like a tough team. Trotz should have stayed...

Had to watch the Freaks.... And I was watching Walk the Line on the side...

No windshield / bug reference? For shame, dash. For shame.

This is who Jarmo is bringing back. The announcement was delayed because Jarmo was at the UPS Store packing them in bubble wrap and packing peanuts so they would make it Columbus without losing a major appendage.

Struggling Coyotes ?not anywhere good enough,? says GM | ProHockeyTalk

Maybe it's time for the GM to get shitcanned - I'm tired of hearing Don Maloney talk shit about his team when he's the one who hasn't done shit to improve the team - he's not that good of a GM
