That's cool.

Man, we never get any good Russians, and the ones we do leave is way too early. Zhitnik, Frolov, Voynov. Not a history of successful Russians in L.A.

Yeah. But you want to talk about a guy who'll fix the power play. Just play him 4+ minutes a night.

I remember in the Final TB playing him like that, 7d-men and used him as just a specialist if memory serves correctly

Once Brendan Smith deal to NYR is finalized, much attention will turn to Kulikov. Sabres have gotten calls from multiple teams already.


I'll bet they have...

 

[Nizar]

Stalberg to Ottawa for third round pick.

CAR also getting calls on 23-year-old defensemen Ryan Murphy, signed through next year. Imagine the preference would be young forward back.

2 cups = not successful?

Further to earlier post, once/if trade gets finalized, expectation is NYI will retain significant chunk of Halak's contract, may be max 50%

3 teams in the mix...

I think he mentioned those 3 as being the most successful we've had.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

To be fair, for Russians, the west coast of the US is a looooong way from home. It's no surprise most of them are concentrated in the far eastern side of the NHL map. All things being equal, why come all the way out here?

Don't be ridiculous, I can see Russia from my house, here in SoCal.

Also there are lots of Russians in NY/NJ area. I am sure they would prefer to stay near their communities.

No I'm not and I can't find a way to change mine in user CP.

Servers can't handle the trade deadline traffic. Avatars get dropped.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Yeah, Avatars will return after the deadline. If Shattenkirk is enough to bring the site down, it might get ugly tomorrow. lol

 

[SFKingshomer]

Hawks got Oduya for basically nothing.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Oduya, Campbell...Hawks are getting the band back together!

Sharks trade for Jannik Hansen

Bob McKenzie‏Verified account @TSNBobMcKenzie · 3m3 minutes ago

VAN return on Hansen to SJ is expected to be Nikolay Goldobin and a conditional fourth-round pick.



Still sizzling hot:

Forsberg pots 2 more goals tonight, 10 goals in his last 5 games. First player since Pavel Bure almost 15 years ago.

 

[deeshamrock]

It would have come sooner if he hadn't been injured. He's been great.

The #habs have acquired Steve Ott.

Wings get a 6th round pick in 2018

Weal's a UFA this summer, right? Playing for a contract. I'm rooting for him.

Playing-wise, meh. OTOH, More leadership added to the Habs locker room. You can see they're changing the personality of the team.
