Its prob a trade for signing rights, Husso, Campbell, Kuemper.

Husso or Kuemper maybe. Not Jack since he knows Edmonton would beat us out.

 

[OmNomNom]

Don't.

You.

Start.

'cause I will start the whole BrattPack fiasco again if you do.

@NJDevs26 , wouldn't that be great? lol

lol i love you

 

[Hisch13r]

I know it’s all rumors but today has been really f***ing entertaining. Let’s hope there’s fire.

More like stressful lol

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

heard Mark Fayne used it to record his debut album!

Cross Bar Fever! It’s fantastic!

 

[glenwo2]

sounds like the Flyers may be going for Deangelo lol trash meets trash

Truly a match made in Hell.

Fine with me. Campbell scares me the most. I expect he wants term I don't trust him enough to give him more than 3yrs.

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

Makese sense - he's from South Jersey

I'd die of laughter if they bring "home" DeAngelo over Gaudreau

 

[glenwo2]

You mean the rear-end of Jersey.

I actually think Campbell would want out of Canada after playing in Toronto for the past couple of years, but who knows maybe he likes it more than most

 

[Eggtimer]

I would take DeBrincat over Johnny. Younger and a finisher. Johnny is amazing at driving play but we already excel at that, we need goal scorers and DeBrincat has been one of the top-10 goal scorers in hockey since he entered the league.

The question of whether it's better to pay assets for Cat and get Johnny for just cap space is a different question entirely.

I agree with ya. If both were UFA (no asstets needed ) I’d lean Cat bery slightly , but all things considered , I take Johhny with the zero assets given up

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Gosh darn it! I actually have a lot of work to do today and keep sneaking into the latrine to read up. And all you chuckleheads are posting way too much to keep up!

Someone has to shovel this coal!


Slaf in ‘22. I approve the message.

By all accounts he loved being a Leaf. With that said I do think being a Leaf is more fun than being an Oiler lol

 

[Devil made me do it]

The more I think about this the more my intuition tells me that if Slaf is picked by the Habs we should draft Nemec instead.
Not only does Nemec fill a desperate position of need but he is not really that much of a reach at pick #2.
How much more of an impact can Wright have over Nemec?
We have stood by patiently waiting to build this team the right way and I feel as if drafting Wright deviates from our plan. He is not a bad fit, he is just not the right fit over Nemec imo.
The team had no trouble scoring last season. Our defense and crappy goaltending is what lost us games.

 

[Bleedred]

Rich get richer

Not at all.

But

I'm sure there's one guy who would agree with you

I thought this was an interesting possibility:

No. Too erratic of a style.

Our bottom 6 was atrocious last year and again, this team's defense was not bad last year. By most metrics, we were average at most things defensively. Your defense is going to look bad if wrist shots from the blue line are going in and goals are going 5 hole on your goaltenders.

 

[Bleedred]

Honestly, I don't think the Rangers give two shits about who is in goal for them behind Igor, unless they're worried about him playing 65-70 games or playing as effectively while playing that number of games.

If your priority is fit and you think defense is an issue then why are you taking the offensive Dman with shoddy defense? Jiricek’s better.

I said that before. Can’t believe I’m now wishing for Slaf lol

Call it a day and punch out. I’ll deal with your boss.

 

[Mgd31]

Well he’s probably going somewhere lol

I do agree with what you said about going for Johnny Hockey instead of trading away an prime asset for the Catman.

 

[Devil made me do it]

No. Too erratic of a style.

That's not what my eyes tell me. Erratic is who I'd describe Jiricek.
Nemec is very sound defensively and posesses a very high IQ and understanding of space.
