Around the NHL 2017-18: Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Matt Rentfree]

Damn Cody Glass looking good so far.

Yeah - he's looking great. D has been pretty abysmal for both teams so far (preseason - I guess it's to be expected) - could turn into a basketball game if periods 2 +3 continue the trend of period 1.

 

[Kovalev27]

Glass is going to be an absolute stud damn. You can see why our guys wanted him so bad.

 

[Ail]

The price is Wong, *****.

 

[Kovalev27]

Hykas a good looking prospect too

24 though

 

[Kovalev27]

This Brock Boeser kid is something else too. Very smart scorer. Fantastic in the two games I've watched. They've got a heck of a player there

If the Demers for McGinn trade is a done deal, Arizona really rebuilt their goaltending and blue line. If they add one or two quality vets up front, I think they could make some noise.

It's a salary dump... but seriously why in God's name do you make that trade?

NOt quite basketball, but they outscored the Bills-Panthers game

It's a salary dump, absolutely, but Demers is a pretty good #4. He makes the Arizona D look a lot better overall, and he's far better than Connauton.

Demers put up more assists than McGinn had points. And FLA retained on top of it. If McGinn gets back to that mid-high 30s in points, then it doesn't look as bad, but FLA is putting the hurt on themselves. I don't see what it's about. They're not shedding much salary, and it's only a year or so less.

Some combination of:

OEL - Hjalmarsson
Goligoski - Demers
Chychrun - Schenn
Clendening

is a lot better than having Connauton on the 3rd pairing with Schenn. You have 3 pretty quality pairs there and lots of puck movement. Plus you have the extra option in Clendo.

I'd add a vet up front and call it an offseason.

 

[TheTakedown]

Demers has 4 years including this season. McGinn has only 2 years including this season...

Still, stupid trade for Florida. They traded a top 4 dman for a low end 3rd liner.

I'll tell you who is really going to be pissed right now is Vegas. The Market is now over-saturated with middle and bottom pairing guys, and Vegas has like 9 of those at the moment.

Damn Cody Glass looking good so far.

I love Andersson, but I make no secret that Glass was the one I wanted.

I just think that as he matures, and gets even stronger, he's going to have a lot of tools working for him.

In fact, Vegas' first two rounds were a solid A from my perspective.

We couldn't have had another Glass on this team. Too much PTSD

Being so close to getting Cody and then missing out is actually giving me PTSD.

 

[Edge]

Haha, maybe we could've asked him to pull a Jasper Fasth/Fast and drop a letter.

Kidding aside, I just think Glass is going to be a hell of a player. He's only going to get bigger and stronger, and will easily add another 20-30 pounds, maybe even another inch or so.

 

[Cassano]

Kailer Yamamoto also had 1g, 1a last night vs the Flames. We picked Chytil 1 pick before him.

Yamamoto has 1G 1A in 1GP in preseason.
Chytil has 0G 0A in 0GP in preseason.

Unbelievable. Gordie Clark failing again at the draft.

 

[Edge]

Ah the preseason path to glory.

Epic tales of a clutch players and noble spirits that embiggen the smallest man.

What's worse: Thinking you need to trade for Ceci, or that Ceci is a building block for your team and don't want to trade him.

Lmfao.

 

[Leonardo87]

Very upsetting, Get well soon dude..

Seriously? Cody ****ing Ceci is primary piece to acquire Duchene?

I mean if that's the case couldn't we have just traded 2 D prospects that are near NHL ready? Ceci is a #5 defenseman with not much room for growth...

You're right but unfortunately most executives in this gongshow league don't see it that way.

Ceci has a great reputation for some reason.

He was a kid I REALLY liked in 2015. I remember talking to several people on here about him.

I'm also a fan of Bo Horvat.

 

[offdacrossbar]

wow tough news for byron boy

wish him the best in his battle.

always liked his game. good luck to him.

getting sick sucks

 

[Leetch3]

awful news for boyle...wish him the best

 

[nyr2k2]

Get well, Boyler.
