OT: Around the League '24-25

[Satan]

Frost and Farabee is crazy

 

[Kcb12345]

As soon as I heard Colorado opened space with the Rantanen deal (and wants to move Mittelstadt) I immediately though of them as a destination for Miller. Wouldn't surprise me at all

Dhaliwal mentioned this today too that Colorado is a potential landing spot.

 

[Kcb12345]

Vegas gets Saad



Perunovich, DeAngelo, and Boqvist now added by the Islanders in like the past 2 weeks

 

[M88K]

Miller traded to the rags

 

[Kcb12345]

Would be nice to see the Stars land a big deal like this again. I miss the feeling that would come with big trades

Not anymore. Nill is bargain hunting. You can even look at the free agent contracts. If duchene wanted more he would not be here.

It's why he'll never win a cup as a GM, plays everything to cheap and safe when he should go for it. Eventually his old ass will retire and we'll get someone in here who won't be such a p***y

Wow

 

[catters078]

For Vancouver someone summed it up as Miller for Petterson and Chytil

Given it was a situation that was dictating them to urgently need to trade...not a bad return. Just not spectacular.

Good job by Pittsburgh to get hold of that draft pick which could be 15 to 20 range.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Nylander already walking former teammate and Leafs legend John Klingberg

 

[Kcb12345]

Klingberg just got his first assist as an Oiler to tie the game 4-4 after being down by 3 at one point in the 3rd, and then got it wiped off the board because he was offside on the entry

Still looks like same old Klingberg in the O zone, but man he's bad defensively. That side of his game is just not there at all

I don't think Klingberg ever really had much of a defensive game... so nothing new.

It was never THIS bad until his last year with us.

Ehh... I think it was falling off in the last two.

There is a possibility that the market this year isn't that full of players becoming available.

So many teams could be intention and want to push for a spot.

Unsure what that prime top players level will be this year.

Happy Nill got in early and made an early add

Yeah there's a ton of uncertainty it seems, especially in the East. Probably won't have a clear idea of who is available until the final days leading up to the deadline pretty much

Not a lot of great defenders out there for sure and the slightly better options are on teams still competing for playoff spots or have massive contracts

A lot of hate on Ceci but with the position our Stars were at not a bad grab before the deadline especially with Lundqvist done as well.

If Heiskanen is back by postseason (and Nill doesn’t get another D) he’ll still be a bottom 6 big body Dman who looked fine last postseason making it to the Finals w/Oilers. Won’t put up offensively but can help out PK and is a right D for cheap and a UFA.

edit - and better than Dumba

 

[LT]

Harley - Heiskanen
Lindell - Lyubushkin
Bichsel - Ceci

That's good enough. There's no one there, except maybe Bichsel, we can't trust to play at least 16-18 solid minutes a night.

Bichsel's looked solid so far, but obviously some growing pains will be expected from a 20 year old, particularly in the playoffs.

It honestly doesnt look bad if theres good news for Heiskanen

 

[Henderson33]

If Ceci can come in and do what Lyubushkin has done (be invisible) this trade is a massive W for us.

I can't believe I've seen people complaining about Lyubushkin at this point in the season, he has been nothing but solid the entire year.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Yeah Bush has been completely fine. No complaints

No one watches our games
