Around the NHL: Part XVIII

[GeorgeKaplan]

Zuccs I must be missing something here. If what you say occurs and the Debs do deal Hall which is very likely no matter what they get in return, they'll be worse than they were when they had Hall and so they'll be in even better position to have more ping pong balls to get a Lefrenier or Bylefield.

I guess I'm not comprehending why you say once Hall is gone their chances for the #1 overall goes down when in my line of thinking it's actually the opposite and their chances go up seeing they'll be even worse withought Hall...you follow?

Because Hall is the good luck charm in the draft lottery

Devils leave Hall in AZ today. Avs trade for Kreider on the Rangers way back from the west coast. Done.

Duhh...of course. As I’m getting older, I’m apparently having a few more brain cramps than I’d like to admit...lol

The original Tony D has 17 goals in 32 1/3 games this season

You mean "the Duke"

 

[SwedeAmerican]

Can someone explain how the isles WON’T win the cup this year, and explain it in an unbiased way? They’re a freakin Barry Trotz trapping machine.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

The Duke completes the hat trick in overtime.


Also our good buddy Bo Villiyay with OT winner and 3 points. Probably my least favorite Islander besides Buttercuck.

Against Torts no less.

1) Their bend-not-break defensive style is going to hurt them in the playoffs.

2) Pittsburgh is going to clobber the East when they’re healthy.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I'm happy to see Duclair finally finding success somewhere.

Islanders are making their living on 3-2 overtime wins. No 3v3 in the playoffs.

They’re the Tortorella-era Rangers

Teams need a lot of talent to win a Cup

Worked wonders last year against teams that actually have talent.

*gets word over earpiece*

Wait...I'm being told it didn't work at all.

*pauses*

I'm also being told that their goaltending talent is also not superstar, so it won't last.

 

[Anzi]

Wow if that's all the Devils may be able to get for Hall. Neither of Arizona's top 2 prospects.

Rumor, source or gut feeling?? I wanna see some trades already

Pure baseless speculation.

 

[Machinehead]

Flyers had the lead. Then they didn't.

I'm flabbergasted.

Who’s the coach there these days?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

It’s hilarious the ups and downs Devils fans have experienced today

Dreaming of Trocheck and Knight to maybe getting Bahl and a first from Arizona

Bahl looks like a guy who is more likely to bust than not. And Shero is such a Mickey Mouse GM

 

[egelband]

Put this piece of information away for future reference...

If the Rangers ever decide to move on from DQ, DeBoer would be a leading candidate to replace him. He is very highly regarded by Ranger management.

I like DQ so don't want him to go. But I like de Boer too. Always have.

Does a team with by far the greatest player of his generation, a guy you could make a strong case is top 10 of the past 15 years, Phil The Thrill and a cup winning pedigree your idea of a team that doesn't have talent?

The Penguins were a middle of the road team last year. Really wasn't amazingly impressive the Isles beat them in the playoffs. Islanders also didn't outplay the Pens that series either.

Thanks for playing.

Id keep an eye on extension talk if the Devs want to up the return package.

They said the oilers wanna extend Kassian, I'm gonna laugh if they give him a fat contract
