Around the NHL - Part XLIII (Off-Season Edition)

someone's ready for a nap

I love when skilled players fight. That inspires the team more than a Matt Rempe fight. I want a Tkachuk type on this passive soft team

don't forget young defensive depth

Vancouver wearing their alternates. When they wear alternates a lot, it usually is a precursor to being permanent the next season.

don't forget young defensive depth

Definitely need more youth on defense. Another Schneider and Mancini types is needed. Tired of seeing AHL vets on d but this happens when you just draft too many forwards and not enough dman with any potential. Rangers organization is a mess and needs to be upgraded in the depth. Habs have tons of young dman, as do the Ducks, Wild, Hawks. Rangers should make a forward prospect for d prospect type of trade.

Kakko on a 3 on 1 in 4v4 play, made the pass but then drifted to parts unknown when he should've drove to the net for rebounds

Imagine if the Rangers had their skilled leadership do this. Skilled Hockey is soft here. I bet Avs fans don't mind when Mackinnon has to fight and glad he isn't a soft wussy like Mika or Kreider

Kreider used to do fairly well in fights. He stood up for teammates back in the older days.

I miss that Kreider. Mika made him a wussy. He stuck up for Derek Stepan and Henrik in the past

Where is this Kreider

Stood up for Zooks with a fight as well. He is a strong guy. I was happy when he got in Kachooks face last year

In fairness, if he has been dealing with a lingering back concern, fighting is not a great idea with that. That’s a good way to injure it pretty quickly.

I think some of the main concern is that there are maybe 2-3 guys who would even be willing to drop the gloves up front (Cuylle, Carrick, Trochek). The skill guys the Rangers have are almost incapable of it

 

[gabevh3]

The Winnipeg Jets have placed forward Daniel Torgersson on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating the remaining years on his contract.

Can this be done with any player that doesn't have a nmc?

Winless in Seattle for Kakko.

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Kakko on a 3 on 1 in 4v4 play, made the pass but then drifted to parts unknown when he should've drove to the net for rebounds

Poor guy. Went from a team in free fall to a team in…free fall.

I believe KK has been playing with 2 of their top line guys and playing PP1.

 

[will1066]

Kakko just lost a skate blade and struggled to get to the bench. Puck went off his skate. He blocked his own teammates' shot.

 

[gabevh3]

I miss that Kreider. Mika made him a wussy. He stuck up for Derek Stepan and Henrik in the past

Where is this Kreider

Was thinking Will Montreal do Laine and Suzuki/caufield for Kreider and some peanuts?

People would probably enjoy Laines skill set inside the offensive zone but fans would really get on him for the rest of the ice.

We have that in Mika. Don't need another soft European injury prone with mental issues. Soft

I'd love Suzuki/Caufield but no way they touch that. They aren't competing this year anyway.

So he's better than Kreider and zib currently

Canucks just beefed a 3 goal lead with under 5 minutes to play. Seattle with 2 goals with the extra skater. LOL.

Don't think it would be good for Laine either.

 

[will1066]

On a 6v5, Kakko forechecks and causes a turnover that becomes a Dunn goal, but no assist for our Kaapo because he didn't touch the puck.
