Around the League 15-16 Part 2

[YP44]

That's funny. I don't know why, but it didn't even cross my mind that it would be anything more than the rest of this season, and then see how it goes.

They worked an agreement out with Vancouver..so the length is due to the length of the deal he had with the canucks.

 

[Trolfoli]

Giving-up a 2nd to hire Torts is a fireable offence IMO, and I think draft picks are greatly overvalued

I'm dying....

Wait... can we get a 1's for Sutter?

what sucks is that it went to a divisional opponent..hopefully they waste it

 

[YP44]

[ru4reals]

Blues reporting that Paul Stastny has been placed on IR with a broken right foot which will be evaluated in 5 weeks.

Yotes reporting that forward Joe Vitale suffered a fractured orbital bone and is out for 4-6 weeks
and
speculation that the Flames are working on a trade.

Russell is available, and on Monday I couldn’t find a scout or GM who didn’t admit to quite liking this player. Treliving is the rare GM today who can afford to deal a defenceman for a forward, a huge luxury in a 30-team league where about 27 teams feel like they need more defencemen to have success.

Was thinking Russell to Columbus makes sense as the base of a deal.
Not sure who would go the other way.

When Torts inevitably gets fired, this will be a great photo if he decides to run for public office.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I assume that's ash in the background from all the cities he's burned down?

 

[YP44]

thought it was dandruff flying

 

[The Pale King]

A team with deep pockets like Toronto should hire and then fire the entire lineup of out-of-work coaches just so they can hoard draft picks when other teams sign them. This is the new NHL.

Also not digging this Sunday evening to Thursday night gap. I want some hockey! (not Arizona-New Jersey)

I thought Columbus wanted to get better on defense?

Jimmy Hayes is the next Blake Wheeler.

Thanks for the read but that article was pure horse ****. No sources, pure speculation, and that part implying Bennett or Moynahan straight up for Stamkos had me howling.

Me too. So say they do trade for Stamkos, pay him 10 mil a year for like forever, how about the upcoming RFA's that will need to be signed over the next few years? Johnny hockey and the like will be looking for BIG raises too.And don't forget they still need a #1 goalie.

Oilers very effective on outnumbered attacks vs the wings

Brad Richards showed his age on that McDavid goal. He got so burned.

 

[kingsfan28]

It;s 3-0 Oilers over the Wings, can they hold on or will they collapse if Detroit scores a goal?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Brad Richards is still in the NHL. Neat.

 

[ru4reals]

How effin lucky can you be man I hate Edmonton. McJesus is freakin sick!

 

[TheSentinel]

Richards almost literally handed the puck away on the PP.

The last of the Richards I believe.

Didn't have much of a choice in experienced coaches this early in the season. Boudreau won't be fired until next week and they didn't want to wait to be 0-12.
