Around the NHL - Part 1

Probably fractured his hand signing the retirement papers.

Played in the best hockey league in the world for something like 12 yrs. Quite the accomplishment. What have you accomplished in your life?

Saved the free world from total annihilation, but can't talk about it because it could put innocent lives in jeopardy!

 

[Heldig]

Jan Jenik with a 4 point night against the Leafs.

 

[Schemp]

JENIK on waivers
J BROWN also on waivers
both cleared

 

[Schemp]

Seems like a lot of waiver claims, or more than usual, when teams try to send players down this time of the year...

So the Oilers enter the season with castoffs Ty Emberson and Travis Dermott being regular defensemen Plus Troy Stetcher is on the roster as well.

Talk about a makeshift D.

They also signed Josh Brown to 3x$1m, then sent him down to the AHL!

Sports Net singing the praises of D. Strome. Who still likes that trade?

OEL's 1000th game tonight. I remember watching him in the prospect game. Time flies.

 

[Mosby]

Happy for Stromer. But, this is also 9 years after his draft. It's not like we were gonna wait this long.

I remember the day they drafted him..... same day it was announced Jerry Reinsdorf was buying the Coyotes for $138 million and Bettman was on his way to Arizona for the official announcement.

....... and the rest was....... something.

I see Geekie has 3 points in 14 games, averaging 12:08 TOI/G.

Haven't seen him play. Seems a little disappointing. Can anyone comment on how he's looked overall?

Most Tampa fans expected him to play in the AHL this season, so the fact that he made the roster is already pretty good. He looks solid overall, but I don't see him more than a 30-30 guy in the future.

Strome and Schmaltz have about the same PPG.

 

[Mangosteen]

Geekie will be a very good 3rd line center

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Strome and Schmaltz have about the same PPG.

Pretty even trade, but Schmaltz gets the edge for PK and steals.
