Recognized him immediately. I have a strange soft spot for Antti.

Pateryn getting traded from the Wild to the Avs has to be pretty pleased (even if the Wild currently have the better record )

I always felt he would have done more in the NHL with that wrister.. But he didn't like to use it really...

That was from Dec. 2020, so I guess he did?

The Stars let Spezza walk because his shooting percentage dipped and the rest of the team was just as awful offensively, then his shooting percentage went back to normal for the Leafs. Legitimately sad the guy never got his cup, he's a great player and I was so pumped when the Stars got him a few years ago.

In all fairness it somehow dipped for two years, I think there's gotta be some sort of Stars shitty offensive system effect here:

Looks like Radulov is going back to the KHL.

I feel bad for the guy. He was awesome last season until he got hurt. Then he got scammed out of $30 million. And his final season was so shitty (maybe because of the injury or maybe because all old guys lose it at some point) that he lost any hope of getting another multimillion dollar deal in the NHL.

 

[MBTendy]

Regardless of his down year this year, he gave us great hockey in every other year he was with us.

Going to miss Rads.

When did this happen? Never heard about that one.

TBH, if I'm getting paid in Rubles, it is highly questionable what that contract is worth. As of right now, the clerk at the local gas station is making more real money than Radulov getting paid in Russian Rubles, unless he plans on staying in Russia to spend them. At this point, it is highly questionable whether he will be paid at all, honestly.

And they recently raised the age of conscription in Russia. He may have more than money to worry about. He may be going to a useless war. Not to make a bad joke, but Ukrainians are probably not worried about him......his shooting % went way down last year.

There is another thread on drafting Russians on the main board. I guess there could be some complications on drafting 18 year olds from Russia as well, not knowing if they are actually going to be able to leave. Or, there could be some incredible bargains in late rounds.

In other news, PIT resigned Taylor Fedun for 2 years and less than $1M per season.

No Radulov slander.

Hey,

Jets fan, here. Rumors are that if Jets don’t land Trotz that Montgomery is a real option for them. I seem to remember the team playing well under him despite an untimely dismissal.

Can anyone shed some light who arched a little more closely what kind of style he coached and had he not dealt with his issues, would he have lasted quite a bit longer?

 

[serp]

The team was doing ok and on a winning streak when he was let go IRC . Came out of nowhere for us too. So yes he would've stayed coach . How much longer ? Dunno ? Would the team have reached the finals with him ? Dunno .

IF the personnel or their skill set allow it, he will coach for a modern, fast and balanced style.

I'm not sure Monty can really change the attitutes of the old the Jets core. He had no success with how the Stars old core played either . He did good with the younger players but to be fair so did Bones but Benn and Seguin well the horseshit comments happenend when Monty was still the coach.

Scheifele and Wheeler should probably not be on the Jets if you want Monty as a coach.

55 looks to be trade bait and honestly.. lots of Jets fans seem okay with that given a proper return. Wheeler simply has an unmovable contract but only 2 years left.

It’ll be interesting.

Thx for the info
