[henchman21]

Walker is going to be on the middle pairing with Girard.

Walker is going to be on the middle pairing with Girard.

Would have preferred Walker with JJ, a pairing of JJ and Manson lacks a puck mover.

 

[Balthazar]

Look, I wanted us to get a depth D-man, and don't understand why it didn't happen because usually they are always available and we had the capspace and assets to pull it off.

That was my point. Another LD of JJ caliber would have been great. They are usually dirt cheap and very available. That's all.

 

[jabubenice]

NHLN crew, especially EJ Hradek, is slamming CMac for not getting a goalie.

f*** em all the pricks...

Dallas:
Harley - heiskanen
Lindell - Tanev
Suter - Hakanpaa

Jets:
Morriisey - Demelo
Dillon - Pionk
Samberg - Schmidt

Oilers:
Ekholm - bouchard
Nurse - Desharnais
Kulak - Ceci

Vegas:
Hanifin - pietrangelo
Mcnabb - theodore
Martinez - Whitecloud


No one comes even close to avs dcore except Vegas which I’ll admit is a scary core.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I wonder if Behrens doesn't have a real opportunity to earn that 3LD spor over JJ.


Toews - Makar
Girard - Walker
Behrens - Manson

 

[AvalancheSpeedsters]

Could be that the management didn’t want to have TOO many changes to chemistry and the room.

 

[Balthazar]

Walker is going to be on the middle pairing with Girard.

That's a scary as hell pairing against a team with a heavy forechecking.

 

[henchman21]

Would have preferred Walker with JJ, a pairing of JJ and Manson lacks a puck mover.

The JJ/Manson pairing will just be limited in usage 5v5. Manson will get some extra shifts with Toews and Girard.

Walker is a level or two above Manson and the Avs didn't spend what they did for a #5D. They got a guy who will improve the middle pairing on the right side. He's really good.

That's a scary as hell pairing against a team with a heavy forechecking.

Its going to be a about puck retrievals and moving it quickly. Both are elite at that exact thing, so it should work... but we have yet to see it for proof.

Could be that the management didn’t want to have TOO many changes to chemistry and the room.

I mean... one more goalie doesn't really move the needle there. They made a ton of changes anyway.

It’s funny because I’m comparing the 2nd pairing and 3rd pairings for depth and completely forgetting that our 1st pairing isn’t comparable with anybody’s 1st pairing

Why has capfriendly posted every trade (or close) but doesnt have the Hertl trade? Trouble closing the deal???

Don't shoot the messenger... some rumblings he won't sign this year and maybe next.


(which I personally take as an angle to burn an ELC year, but I could be taking that wrong)

Probably checking to see if anyone actually has a no-trade clause and what teams are on it

 

[LOFIN]

That was my point. Another LD of JJ caliber would have been great. They are usually dirt cheap and very available. That's all.

My only explanation is, that they were in some big goalie move that would've taken up cap/assets and thus didn't focus on that depth D-man. Which is an oversight IMO, surely our AGM could've had something lined up, ready to go 5min before the deadline closed if the goalie trade fell through (which it did).

It is what it is. Still a solid A- TDL grade for our CNap, who can now go back to sleep.

Hertl waived his

Wouldn't shock me. It's going to be hard for him to break into the top 4.

 

[Ararana]

That's a scary as hell pairing against a team with a heavy forechecking.

If Frodo and Sam can destroy the one ring in the fires of Mt. Doom, our hobbits can hold the f***ing line.

For who?

I’ll still probably shoot you tbh

 

[hockeyfish]

HF, where a 6' D is a giant, and a 5'11" D is a midget.

Very interested to see if Walker is Makar style 5’11 or Girard style alleged 5’10 but really 5’8

 

[LOFIN]

I'm happy with the deadline as a whole...but from the outside, I don't like it when our GM tries to do something, fails, and then do nothing. As if there's no plan B.

It seems that it happened to CMac last year (paid for retention on Eller even if we didn't need it in the end) and this year again (was reportedly active for a goalie, didn't get one, and now we got nothing and aren't using all our cap space).

Not utilizing almost all of the capspace is always a failure in this league.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

I want the Golden Knights in the playoffs.

Behrens

Well... Cale did grow recently :

 

[forsbergavs32]

With the deadline over, we are now into phase 2:

Bitching and complaining when a new player doesn't dominate in their first 5 seconds on the ice.
