If Hank changes his mind, I could see Nashville jumping in. We get Rinne back, he's only got a 1 year left on deal and we get a 1st rounder or a good prospect. I think Hank is an upgrade on Rinne.

It's a lateral move. Even if Henrik is better [personally I believe he would have between 2-3 Vezina trophies if he spent his career in Nashville], its not enough to warrant the trade.

Rinne is still a Vezina winner, 4x finalist I believe, who had his team in the SCF before. Nashville would never consider it.
 
Why did it get locked these mods need to silence him because they're afraid. Here I will share my thoughts with you guys

You have to have a very high IQ to understand Namestnikov's game, he makes plays that are ahead of his time and aren't fully appreciated through the lens of a 2018 hockey fan. In about 10 years other players will successfully adopt some of his plays and people will finally understand what Namestnikov was doing. A lot of people speculate that he was simply a product of his linemates when he played with Stamkos & Kucherov, but why has Stamkos & Kucherov's production fell off a cliff since Namestnikov got moved? It's because Namestnikov made that line. He may not have had the shot of Stamkos or the hands of Kucherov, but he was the brains behind that operation. It's easy for a casual fan to admire how hard Stamkos's shot is, or the fancy stick work of Kucherov; but it takes a trained eye to comprehend the little plays that Namestnikov is making several times per shift. He's making everything happen but in ways that analytics can't yet quantify because they're futuristic.

Subtracting Mika......whom EXACTLY are we looking at.......who may tie this game? Can we really have confidence in anyone to do this. Anyone have an inkling?
How about this. We are due for a Marc Staal goal. Man, if that happens.....you all owe me, big time!

This meme doesn't make any sense any longer, and it's really warped way out of proportion from its intended use to screech at any Buch+AV related drivel.

Step up your game, Reg.

Don't entirely disagree but Rinne singlehandedly cost the Preds game 7 against Winnipeg.

It's not one or two picks. Oilers have Draisitl and McDavid, they're terrible. Sabres have Eichel and Dahlin and just look average now. Last year the Islanders had both Tavares and Barzal.

Drafting a couple of elite players does nothing if you ice a garbage roster.
