Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

Harley is tremendously overrated. He’s a second pairing D.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Right? Let some team give Rempe 4M. Be my guest.

Wouldn't that be a 2nd rounder coming back in compensation?

 

[LokiDog]

Think so.

 

[Cmox]

Mess letting lose.

 

[80s Kid]

Brooks on the Blue Seats podcast saying unless something changes the Rangers are almost certain to lose Rempe to an offer sheet.

I don't know about "almost certain." He lays out a realistic scenario where it could happen but I would still put the odds of it happening fairly low.

Do you really think Dolan would let them give up a cheap cash cow like Rempe? I'm willing to bet his jersey out sells a number of top Rangers these days.

McDonough's head looks artificially created

 

[NYR94]

The last team to offer sheet a Rempe-like player was the Rangers 30 years ago.

 

[will1066]

That Draisaitl play, I've never seen that before

 

[Boris Zubov]

McDonough's head looks artificially created

He's Dr Evil.

Whom are you referring to?

Joe Sakic?

Stu "Grim Reaper" Grimson. The Red Wings matched.

Robertson’s been pretty poor. Get Bourque in the lineup. With the pace of these games, they could use the speed. I think that’s why Blackwell is on over Back tonight as well. Fresh legs and speed.

Granlund has been a great pickup. Clearly clicking with his countrymen but playing probably some of the best hockey of his career. He’s one of those guys who was hugely hyped and didn’t live up to his initial ceiling but has quietly had a very solid career.

Rantanen looks ripe to pop off again soon. Love Hintz in all 3 zones. Heiskanen is actually underrated, IMO. He doesn’t put up as many points as “the top guys” but he’s probably the best defensively of all the young D in the league. Lindell is very underrated. Same impact as Ekholm.

Duchene, Johnston and Robertson barely showing up through 15 games is hurting Dallas.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Stu "Grim Reaper" Grimson. The Red Wings matched.

Wow I have no recollection of that.

 

[LokiDog]

Rantanen is going to score tonight.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Skinner is a hot mess.

 

[will1066]

Wow I have no recollection of that.

Just looked it up. Signed him to a 5 year contract and wings matched

So did I & the reason I don't remember is because it happened the night before my 24th birthday. I was definitely not paying close attention to off season hockey news at that point in my life.

I want Dallas Florida just for Lindell and Lundell

 

[Boris Zubov]

No relation.

 

[LokiDog]

Stars can’t get to the center of the ice. Every zone entry they’re taking the easy ice and being pushed to the outside. Someone has to attack center ice and challenge the Edmonton D. They’ve been positionally sound and it won’t be easy, but continuing to take the bad angle shot from a distance isn’t getting it done.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Brett Kulak...no relation to Rangers legend Stu Kulak!

 

[Boris Zubov]

And another 3-0 lead for the Oil.

 

[LokiDog]

I feel like Harley and Ceci have both been negatives for Dallas.
