Around the NHL - Part XLIII

It's pretty amazing that anyone who leaves the Rangers plays SOOOOOO much better

Why would either team make that deal?

If you're asking hypothetically, yes they can. If the Avs had retained money on him, they wouldn't be allowed for a full calendar year.

Just to be clear I wasn't suggesting reversing the original trade.

Carolina would consider it if they want to recoup some of their losses in a trade.

Colorado would consider it if Rat agreed to a below market contract ahead of time.

Interesting games tonight from the playoffs chase perspective. Would be nice if Isles beat Boston, Pens beat Flyers and Sharks beat Habs. I’m torn about Jackets vs Wings. As long as it’s not a three point game I guess it’s whatever.

Does that mean he’s playing better or that the Canucks absolutely suck. Theres 2 days left in February. Is a 5 point month a big deal now?

He’s playing just as well as he was here (which was very well), but he’s getting more opportunity.

Also the Canucks suck they traded their best forward to us and their best D man has been hurt

The hockey world is seeing rantanen isn't that good. No way you pay him over 10 million. Glad to see canes do something stupid. They are usually more patient, but they also seem to try too hard to be a thorn in the Rangers side. Glad they wasted assets on Guentzel and Rantanen and hopefully lose both.

Avs fans have been complaining about him for a couple years now.

His numbers look great but he obviously benefited from riding Natedogg’s coattails, and he had like 50 empty net points this season when he was traded lol .

also he allowed himself to be crushed by Zibanejad of all people at the 4 nations, I would never show my face again if I were him

Is he? He has 1 5v5 point in 7 games. That's the only 5v5 goal he's been on the ice for.

Canucks have been averaging like 1.5 goal a night lately , I’d say he’s doing well given the circumstances

Why does it matter how the other 3 lines are performing?

Love Fil and wish him nothing but the best but 5 points in 7 games is hardly earth shattering.

He had better stretches as a Ranger.
