Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

[dash]

Tampa is home and cooled as far the division is concerned, but man things certainly are tightening up in the Atlantic division.

If I'm Murray I probably take that and run. I like Montour but the that's a pretty penny to pay just to get rid of Zaitsev ($4.5M is not that burdensome these days).

Also looking at the Leafs roster...holy hell they're doing well for a team that has a RD corps that could rival Ottawa's in terms of shittiness.

TBH I thought it was pretty good for the Ducks too but Dash made me feel bad lol.

/This is why I don't care about any kind of overpayment. What's the point of everything else if all a team has to do is skate down your right side to get in on goal? At this point, overpaying is fine so long as it's for the right piece. A chance like this may not come again for a long time.

Sorry if posted already but I didn't see it anywhere and this was cool.

Stars give 10-year-old full game experience, including cellies and scrap

Let's talk David Savard then.

Replace Kapanen with Johnsson and it looks a lot better to me.

Schenn is all kinds of bad though. Not sure why the Nucks would want that.

I dont think canucks wanted Chien ... they got a pick for DJ MDZ so thats a win ... probably Murray needed them to take a pro contract ... Chien is going straight to Utica ... he makes 800K and DelZawful is making 3 shmill

And back to DelZawful ... obviously you havent seen him play lately ... oh wait ... thats because HE CANT CRACK THE CANUCKS STACK(ed full of dogshit) D LINEUP AND HES BEEN A HEALTHY SCRATCH FOR ALL BUT 1 GAME SINCE DECEMBER 4TH

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Montour for Kapanen, Liljegren, Zaitsev and a 1st.

only after Leafs trade Gardiner for Gubberson

 

[jstewismybastardson]

no way this anecdote ...

Sutter (THE FOUNDATION) wanted to hear more country music in the dressing room but DJ MDZ told him "no way ... this is the only thing Im good at" lol

I don't think the Leafs can keep Kapanen long-term. I think they can sign Johnsson to a mid-term deal for decent money. That has to be a consideration.

If we're convincing someone to take Zaitsev's contract as well, it's even more worth it as it even opens up the possibility of the Leafs adding on D in the UFA market this summer (or even keeping Gardiner around).

Take Marleau and we're good.

Crap contract for crap contract - kind of boring.

It's more fun when crap GM's make moves (looking specifically at a few teams in the Pacific division).

Marleau has a NMC? Ugh.

Good point.

This sure feels like the first shot fired. Time for a Deadline Day 2019 thread!

I want the trade deadline to hurry up, but at the same time I am terrified of it.

Lets talk hockeyy.

Every time I think the Habs are finished they play well for a spell. They are hanging around a lot longer than I expected....probably hurting the rebuild in the process, but its never fun to lose.

Nino can play at least though. This seems like an easy win for the Canes.

That NMC doesn't stop him from being sent to Robidas Island.
