GDT: Around the League

[Dread Clawz]

So, as already mentioned we've made two deep runs the last couple of years.

Most hockey played the last couple of years.
Most players being chosen for this event.
Being flown to Finland and back.

This all adds up.

I've been saying that fatigue will be our main enemy the most here. But every good team is sending 4-5 players. i.e., our main threats to repeating. There's no difference really between 5 and 8 players. If you're a good team you're sending your main guys. We just have more than most teams. Forsling can skate in his sleep, he's almost up there with Montour. And Barky isn't far behind. The guys that really need rest, like Ekblad and Bob for example, are getting it. Except for Bennett, I would have liked to have seen him sit at home .

Holy shit did we break the rangers too

Yes and no. Pretty sure they wanted to move Trouba even before the ECF.

Oh god what if we're trading for him? He's a RD lol.

Please don’t say that.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Please don’t say that.

It's starting to make too much sense lol. He's got the Maurice connection, UFA in 2 years.

Cap hit is the obvious hang up, even at 50%. Unless Knight is moved. I just have that weird feeling right now and it's not gas this time.

What's the deal with goodrow

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

What's the deal with goodrow

Rangers put him on waivers when he didn't agree to waive his NTC to San Jose and the Sharks claimed him. Basically bypassed the NTC which they could do again with Trouba.

Goodrow ‘Didn’t Like’ How His New York Departure Was Handled, Excited To Play Rangers on Thursday

NEW YORK — It’s not just any game for Barclay Goodrow. The San Jose Sharks will play the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night. It will be Goodrow’s first appearance at MSG since he was unceremoniously dumped by the Rangers this past summer. “I didn’t like how things were...

move that bum forsling to the 2nd pair and rock kuli and trouba as top pair

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Yup Trouba should be able to fix any of those teams lol

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Trouba moving to another broken franchise would be hilarious.

The guy has been shit for years now, league is finally catching up.

Dallas could make sense, they need a dman and they're doing LTIR shenanigans with Seguin so they have the cap.

EDIT: lmao Friedman and Dreger immediately refute the above article from Brooks.

If Ottawa would actually entertain Trouba as part of a deal for Brady, boy could I entertain them in a Balinskis + Knight for brady? Cause shit that would be a hell of a lot better than Trouba lmao

I'm assuming there's lots of pieces... prospects which we don't have.

Sounding like Trouba to Anaheim

Gudas and Trouba on the same team? dead bodies everywhere

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

California teams love bailing out the Rangers apparently.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

No salary retained? My god Anaheim's bad

 

[floridada]

How nice of the Ducks to give the rags a get out jail free card

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Igor must have really hated Trouba

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Rangers somehow dump a terrible contract and Instantly sign another lmao

Igor just ensured he’ll have a couple of scrub D because they can’t afford elite anymore.

Igor isn’t that much better than Bob. Rags may be cellar dwellers for a while now.
