"Awesome today"


Sure. Quite frankly I dont think what he does in these 20 games to end the season matters much either way.

But, he's playing on a Buffalo team that is pretty well known for having almost no structure to there game. To a fault, the coaching staff pretty much lets guys play as they want. So Byram is probably going to look in and fit in pretty well in that sort of system. On the flip side, Mittelstadt is coming from that lack of structure into a team with a very tight structure.


It should be expected that Mittelstadt will take more time adjusting.

Lol Tyson Jost is still in the NHL.

All signs pointed to Alexander Barabanov getting traded…and then, he wasn’t. On Thursday, the eve of the Trade Deadline, Barabanov and Anthony Duclair were scratched for trade-related reasons, a sure sign that moves were in the cards. Duclair was dealt before the San Jose Sharks’ match-up that...

What the San Jose Sharks would’ve got back from New York is unknown. The Nashville Predators, Colorado Avalanche, and Edmonton Oilers were also in the mix.

Another fail by Mike Grier. Mike Grier might be one of the worst GM's the last 20 years.

Excluding CNap right?

Honest question you you. If Bo mugged your grandma and you witnessed it, would you still think he's the best player ever? Just curious if there is a moment you've watched him play and didn't think he wasn't the best player on the ice

He was awesome today bruh try and watch a Sabre game when you get a chance.

Take care

He'd be too dazzled by Bo's stamina and physique to really feel that bad about it

Wow, now that's impressive

Yeah, definitely prefer Mittelstadt out of the two of them. Obviously, the opinion du jour around the league has been Hertl > Mittelstadt, but Hertl is also 5 years older and as you said, has some serious health concerns. Two torn ACLs and he's currently out with a knee injury

One of the. Intermission reports we’re talking about hertl that

I don’t follow any team but the Avs. I guess with all the talent buffalo has and not going anywhere makes sense

 

[Alienblood]

Wow, now that's impressive

He was

 

[a mangy Meowth]

He was

Oh good, I was worried that you weren't as impressed as I was

 

[the_fan]

Vegas will just LTIR Hertl next year and trade for Couture

 

[Alienblood]

Oh good, I was worried that you weren't as impressed as I was

If you thought he was impressive that's up to you but I thought he looked awful for the most part. His skating is worse than I thought. Pretty good speed once he got going like on the backcheck play (good hustle) but he has an awful looking short and awkward knockneed stride. He obviously never took power skating but that's not his game anyways.

Well now I'm beyond confused. I thought we were talking about Byram

 

[Alienblood]

oh well I was thoroughly impressed with Byram too

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Ah, just figured out the new, new name change. *LOL*

You don't say

According to Jim Montgomery, Avs are the winners of the trade deadline

Yeah, I think they were too.

It's kind of funny that 'actual' hockey people see what the Avs did and were impressed. The addition of Trenin and Duhaime put them over the top, imo. Guys like Mike Johnson and Kevin Bieksa understand what their addition means to our roster.

Then you have the rest of these so-called 'hockey analysts' who don't even know who those two guys are because they are in bed by the time they announce the 3-star selection from the Leafs game at 9h45pm.

I think Mike Rapp said Duhaime was the best addition at the trade deadline. Something along the lines of whoever gets Duhaime wins the trade deadline LOL

Not sure if they were joking about that but it’s funny if he actually said that

 

[Avs9296]

Duhaime impressed me the more than Trenin by a lot. His speed is really something.

I am not as against Grier as you lot, he's gotten some underrated and underappreciated pieces since his tenure, but he has a weird fetish for gaining as much cap space as possible. I don't think it is the wrong idea, but it seems he doesn't mind losing some deals if it means he can get more cap space in the long run.

I don't think it is the wrong idea, but it seems he doesn't mind losing some deals if it means he can get more cap space in the long run.

The Sharks were stuck with a TON of long, bad contracts: EK, Hertl, Burns, Couture, Vlasic... It's only healthy for a rebuilding team to get rid of old vets that are overpaid for many more seasons and it's nearly impossible to trade them at full cap hit so he had to retain.

Also these players likely don't want to finish their career on a rebuilding team, it's entirely possible that Hertl asked for a trade.

Grier's next step should be buying out Vlasic. Once all the old crap is out you've got a brand new canvas to work with and that's what new GM's want.

What could Manson get us in the off-season? 3rd+prospect?

He could be a good defense partner to Sean Behrens! IF sean Walker signs as UFA.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Vegas will just LTIR Hertl next year and trade for Couture

I think that's why they wanted Hertl, he is a rental for few years and when his play level drops they will dump his *** to LTIR rest of his career. Both happy. Hertl gets early retirement and Vegas frees capspace again. It's stupid, but it's going to happen.

Depending how well he plays, he will last with Vegas probably 2-4 seasons. When the play level drops too much, he is as good as gone.
