Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

[Sypher04]

Toffoli is interesting and so is Tanev

I wonder what it’d take to nab both lol

They both have long contracts and Sutter loves Tanev, Tafoli he has history with from his LA days I believe and just signed this year. Not cheap at all .

 

[MCR74]

A good majority of Oilers fans asking for a Jack Campbell trade already. Yikes.

Well til they get "First Round Campbell" in April. They'll want him gone before the end of the series.

 

[SprDaVE]

Hire a veteran GM they say

A good majority of Oilers fans asking for a Jack Campbell trade already. Yikes.

Given he's got four years of term left, I'm not sure even a tanking team would be comfortable taking him on.

Buyout probably their only option if they want to move on

 

[ACC1224]

I'm not saying he won't end up the best of all time, but right now it would be a hard sell.


On a side note, no love for Ovi? Being the best goal scorer of all time and likely to beat Gretzky's all-time record.


Btw do we include goalies? if we do Dominik Hasek should be up there.

There is no right or wrong, just opinion.
Me putting McDavid #1 is a new realization, was always Gretzky/Orr for me.

Hire a veteran GM they say

I didn’t think old school GM’s used spreadsheets.. only advanced stats nerds did

 

[Stephen]

Hire a veteran GM they say

Doug Wilson, Ken Holland an Lou Lamoriello all have sons in some kind of AGM role, whereas Stan Bowman obviously got a start with his ad being Scottie Bowman.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I wonder if we'll hear leaf-related trades today.

I had a feeling this might be a busy weekend.

[SeaOfBlue]

Barry Trotz is replacing him. So we can finally end that saga.

He was done with coaching.

 

[francis246]

Seems like the perfect fit, the Preds bring in someone they trust to take over

 

[Leaf Rocket]

It was time for both parties to move forward.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Meier to the Devils finally.

 

[Fogelhund]

Jets getting wrecked by the Islanders after 2.

Jets getting wrecked by the Islanders after 2.

They're lucky that Calgary is a dumpster fire and Nashville is selling, or else this would've been an 18-wheeler (no pun intended)

 

[Buds17]

It's as though Trotz never even left Nashville! Quite fitting to replace the only GM that franchise has ever known with a former coach (now turned GM) that was all they ever knew for a long time in his own right.

That's absolutely disgusting.

Interesting to see the suspension. Should be 10 games minimum.

He kept his house there, so yes.

Yep. Can't have bushleague stuff like this stand. But the league has a precedent for letting this stuff slide - don't think Marchand even got a fine for outright licking Leo

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Tampa getting the absolute piss beat out of them right now.

 

[hamzarocks]

Tampa getting slapped

Wonder/hope they make a panic move

Hope they deal 2 1sts for Jeannot + McDonaugh@50% and kill there next 3-4 years for one more run

Here's why David Poile is retiring as Nashville Predators GM and Barry Trotz taking over

David Poile, the NHL's winningest GM and a U.S. Hockey Hall of Famer, will be replaced by former Predators coach Barry Trotz.

When Poile informed ownership this season likely would be his last, the sides also discussed the future beyond Poile.

That was a process in which Poile wanted to be involved.

"End of the year review with ownership, we talked about a succession plan, and we've been doing that the last two or three years," Poile said. "Shortly after this past season I said it probably would be my last season. We kind of started to talk in earnest about how to go about this."

Thus began the process that led Poile to Trotz, who reached out to the Predators in December after being fired as coach of the New York Islanders in May. Assistant GMs Brian Poile, Jeff Kealty and Scott Nichol also were considered for the job, as well as some people from the outside.

"A decision was made quickly," Poile said.

David Poile is the only general manager in the history of the Nashville Predators.
Poile went on to say that the team's play this season has only reaffirmed his decision to retire. The Predators entered Sunday in fifth place in the Western Conference's Central Division, seven points behind the Colorado Avalanche for a playoff spot.

"Our play this season, to be honest with you, it makes me feel I probably have made the right decision because we are what I call this mushy, mushy middle," he said. "We've either got to find a way to get better, adding, or maybe we go a little different direction."

"Your word is 'rebuild,' my word would be 'reset.' That's really splitting hairs. ... It might be better for a new voice and somebody to take this team in a new direction."

Great to see. Pitts with 6 goals in the second and f***ing crushed Tampa 7-3. Wooo.

Leafs win this one tonight and it puts Leafs back in good shape.
