Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

Okay, so no trade brewing then?



Edit: On the other hand...

Chris Nichols @NicholsOnHockey
McKenzie: Drouin "trying to put some leverage on the #TBLightning to trade him, by making himself, effectively, a diminishing asset."

I still wish Johansen had gone that route. Not failing to show up per se, but at least saying "I will only got to _____, otherwise I sit out." Really turn the screws on Baldie.

Tampa will be lucky to get a Draft pick at this rate. When at the (last) draft they probably could have gotten some decent return.

Allan Walsh has released a statement (and it is a doozy):

It's clear that Drouin is coming to Calgary as he and his agent are holding Stevie Y's feet to the er, um, Flames...

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Somewhere, Steve Yzerman is breaking shit.

Does this mean Drouin is ineligible for the AHL All Star game?

Was at the Devils flames game last night. Happily the Devils won but friggin Johnny Hockey actually looks better in person than on the tube. The kid is just sick

Even Alexei Yashin can't believe what he's reading.

Pretty good story from Just an Alligator
A School Known to All | By Justin Abdelkader

My last assignment was a 22-page research paper on the emergence of advanced analytics in hockey, which was really interesting, because I was able to use statistics to prove some of my gut reactions about the players I go up against in real life. I used metrics like High Danger Zone Scoring Chance and CORSI Differential to get a deeper look at some of my NHL colleagues.

Wow. A dumb move, but particularly dense in the NHL.

As much as I have been down on Kadri for maturity issues, I would not trade him for Drouin at this point. Then again, I sure as heck wouldnt want the two of them in the same locker room.

I understand the deal was on the backburner for a while, but talks have heated up

It's scorching hot news, my friend - I burned the tips of my fingers as I picked up the paper.

I hear reporters have been grilling Stevie Y for information

Agent: My client is so fragile that he is afraid to play a game. TRADE FOR HIM!

Pierre forgets who coaches the Wings.

Just when I get comfortable with my unbridled hatred of Chara, he goes and does something like this.

Well done, Zdeno
