Around Hockey XXV (All Non-Jackets Hockey Talk Here)

This is actually a very cool idea. This could be a boon to some of the newer D1 programs or perhaps schools looking to start up a D1 program.

I'm legit angry that the NHL has kept international play from us for so long. McDavid is well over 1000 pts into his career and hasn't even played on Team Canada with Crosby yet.

We need to do this again soon, with Russia included (call them Athletes From Russia or something if the war is still ongoing). Marchenko and Voronkov should be important players on that team now.

Yeah that's a lil mind boggling

Me too, and Finland has been robbed of the most exciting generation of hockey players since Selänne, S. Koivu etc. The last true best-on-best tournament was Sochi 2014... at least it seems we'll get one in 2026 but that's a 12 year gap, which is ridiculous.

Carolina lost again?

Interesting….

We are just as close to last place in the Metro as we are to Carolina.

For a team that was supposed to BE IN last place, that's no bad, right?

5 back of the Canes, eh?

Ok.

We definitely dodged a bullet on this one. That being said Werenski-Jones was the best D pair in the league and its a shame we didn't get to see that continue due to Jones short sightedness.

He's just completely regressed since leaving here and it doesn't help that Chicago is a flaming dumpster fire. He's just turned into a guy who could look good on a good team but doesn't help make a bad team better. Werenski has totally grown into being a guy you can build a defense around. Jones is not based on his play in Chicago.

Agreed, Since the two of them split it really became clear that Zach can be great with an average or above Partner. Jones needs a great partner to be good to great.

Alex Nedjelkovic (an Ohio boy) became the first goalie to record a goal and assist in the same game in NHL history tonight, in net for the Pens.

Don’t tell Elvis.

Good for him. I hope Elvis gets one eventually. We don’t bitch and moan when a defenseman ices the puck with an empty net. I’m all for any goalie trying to get one when an opportunity arises.

So just to keep the fire burning what if Chcago ate 3mm of his salary or even up for Severson? If teams are calling someone must see some value still there. Also assumes Chicago wants to trade him.

This is going to sound heretical to some but I think Severson might be a better player than Seth Jones.

If Jones had a shorter contract I’d consider straight up for Severson. But his contract (like Severson’s) is too long. We have cap space and tracdeable pieces so I’d rather just go after someone like an extended Rasmus Andersson in the off season.

I don’t think that deal would be worth it or add anything. I’d be concerned with the locker room fit at this point. He burned his bridge here by asking out when the going got tough.

I always say you can be part of the problem or part of the solution and he chose to not be part of the solution here. We all thought of him as the next captain here at the time and then he showed his true colors.

Oh, now that's going to make a head or two explode.

I think in their current incarnations this is probably accurate, although Severson's high-profile mistakes do make him much more exasperating and thus easier to get frustrated with.

Jones lack of intensity and aggression when so physically gifted can be pretty frustrating. Dude was very good but could have been great.

Both players at their best I’ll take Jones. Does Jones play at his best?

I made a list of conditions a page or two back or in another thread that would need to precipitate a Jones trade.

 

[Viqsi]

Agreed, but the last time Jones played at his best we still had Panarin and Bobrovsky.

Thus the question.
