Around The NHL: Part VIII - Tampa/NYR = 0 Playoff Wins

[broadwayblue]

With the Jets out do we know how that 1st round pick is looking?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

The anything can happeners would be insufferable if it does.

Though if Colorado does get there, they'd have a point.

Eh, we don’t have MacKinnon/Rantanen...yet.

Dallas at 28.

If we can get them and Vegas to the next round, and then Dallas to the conf. finals, we’re looking at having 2,20,28, 37 and 58 to work with.

That is beyond sick draft capital. How can we not give props to JG if this is the way to build a Winner in 2019 and beyond ?!

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Are we sure the Jets pick can’t get to 17?

They absolute max they can be bumped is 4 spots from where they finished in the overall standings, so the best it can be is 18.

With the Jets out do we know how that 1st round pick is looking?

22 right now 21 if Vegas wins tomorrow 20 if Dallas advances and maybe 19 if other things go according to plan

 

[Machinehead]

Really? I think most expected the Jets to win this series.

I don't think its an epic letdown like Tampa. But it isn't small either.

Last week I expected the Blues to win this series, but it's a huge letdown compared to what I thought at the start of the season.

Lemieux > Hayes..

Fight me

If Dallas and Vegas win, the 1-4 seeds would have been eliminated. It's anyone's game at that point. It's all about match ups, luck, momentum.

I imagine Friedman is hoping for a COL-COL final.

In Russian Col means fecal matter. So that would be a shit final.

Dallas at 28.

If we can get them and Vegas to the next round, and then Dallas to the conf. finals, we’re looking at having 2,20,28, 37 and 58 to work with.

Where could 20,28 and 37 take us in the draft?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Lemieux > Hayes..

Fight me

Certainly ain’t doing no tradebacks. Lemieux is life.

 

[Edge]

Some things seem to be falling into place pretty well. If Dallas gets past Nashville and the Stars are looking like the better team and beat the Blues in the next round--then the Zuccarello pick becomes a 1st rounder--albeit a late 1st rounder and if Vegas beats the Sharks then the Jets first round that we own goes two spots higher and if Columbus can make it to the conference finals that's another spot higher.

With a bit of luck we could be sitting at 2, 19-20 (Winnipeg), 28-31 (Dallas), 37, 58 (Tampa) and 68. If we did get Arizona or Edmonton to bite on Kreider we have other pieces to move up again on the 19. Kreider + the Dallas 1st (if we land that) or Kreider + the 37 as a bit of a sweetener might do it.

There’s a lot of moving pieces, and a lot is still unknown, but there’s definitely the potential for a path to emerge.

But...Duchene bowl!!!

Fight me

Lemieux actually would.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Lemieux actually would.

And Lemieux would literally kill him

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

And Lemieux would literally kill him

I hope he doesn't have a sister.

Totally different player. Hayes was decent this series and had another terrific year

 

[Edge]

You could potentially package the Tampa pick to get to 16 or 17 from 20.

Or to 24/25 from 28.

I found it funny that Hayes linemates were worse in Winnipeg than in NY

dude went from playing with Zucc and Kreider to Perrault and Roslovic

I don't think most expected that. The Jets have been a disaster defensively for a couple of months and St Louis has been playing like one of the best teams in the league in that time frame.

I’m saying if we put them all together.

Hayes in WPG went exactly as I expected. He dropped from 19:27 a game in NY to 14:31. Actually still put up 15 pts in 26 games despite that. They are a team that gives the cast majority of heir ice time to the top line and gives the PP1 almost all the ice time so it's very hard for anyone not in that role to get big minutes.

Woof Carolina.

Those guys were MIA.

Looks like that hurricane warning was downgraded to a tropical depression

 

[Fugazy]

Woof Carolina.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Woof Carolina.

Nick Backstrom with the four point game

I think Canes bounce back at home. I smell a game 7.
