GDT: GAME 52: BLUES @ HABS | Chadkovsky's World | Sun. Feb. 11, 2024, 1PM -- TSN2, RDS

[Runner77]

Allen struggled on about 6 routine shots

Real tempting to dub him “All-in”.

If I do the same breathing exercises as Slaf do I also get a chiseled jawline?

Chew more gum

St. Louis plays as heavy a game as any team in the league, I would have dressed Xhekaj but what the hell do I know.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

His buyout cap hit would hurt more. We can survive with 2.75x3 of dead space.

He has one really bad year, $3.4m. The rest isn't terrible especially with an increasing cap. Even the $3.4m year still saves us $2.1m. His buyout is actually better than Gallagher's.

Gallagher buyout summer 2025:
1. $1.75m
2. $4.25m
3. $1.75m
4. $1.75m

Anderson buyout summer 2025:
1. $1.916m
2. $3.416m
3. $1.416m
4. $1.416m

Chew on your mouthpiece it helps a ton.

Would be sweet if Reilly gets 6 or 7 games and the Leafs lose them all and Reilly's "toughness" costs them a playoff spot. Would be even better if Tre trades his 2024 1st in a panic move.

 

[Cournoyer12]

Reilly getting carried around like some hero on Leaf fans shoulders today for showing some "toughness".

Yep and the M and M boys standing around like they want nothing to do with anything, and Reeves sitting on the bench like a stoner!

 

[larek]

Eiserman has dropped out of the top 10 on many amateur scout boards.

Because of alot of Dmen in this draft
We need offense Eiserman fills that bill has decent size

 

[The Great Weal]

I don't understand why Xhekaj is scratched. They have clearly changed his game by making him tame yet they are giving him zero breathing room.

Bunch of Wimps he shot the puck hard into the empty net!! LoL

 

[windycity]

Sick pass by Slafs. He's gonna be special

Gotta show off Harris for a trade I guess but now he might be injured so..

He also doesn't turn 18 until August. Way too early to make any assessment on this kid or any other your player for the 24 draft.

It's better than Gally's but I still think he could get traded for something at 2.75x3. We don't really need that retention slot. Gallagher is definitely getting bought out at some point if they can't convince him to go to LTIRetirement.

 

[sheed36]

Chew more gum

Also should ask expert MSL for some gum chewing tips.

 

[zx81]

I’ll be honest: I would just release him. He ain’t worth shit without retention. He’s Ron Tugnutt at the end of the road.

Allen has no value. Decent goalies have minimal values, struggling ones are untradable.

Terribly mishandled !!
They want him to be what he's not
Can't feed a lion bird feed

 

[Runner77]

It’s not as if they haven’t been doing it forever. That’s always been their roster blueprint — don’t know what MSL was thinking.

 

[McGees]

wtf is this lacrosse skit on tsn

 

[Tyson]

Allen has no value. Decent goalies have minimal values, struggling ones are untradable.

Hughes overplayed his hand with the goalie situation. It has cost Primeau a year of development.

 

[Rapala]

Damn Struble is going to have nightmares about Toropchenko and Guhle has to exit better than he showed at the end of the period.
It cost Suzuki a penalty having to cover up. I guess this is the one line stuff we have to look forward to going forward.
The problem with having only one line is you absolutely have to maximize their chances by making sure you have the right D pairing out there with them.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Allen has no value. Decent goalies have minimal values, struggling ones are untradable.

Agreed, retention or not, teams aren't giving up anything for him. He has a hard time being an ok back-up right now. Just put him on waivers already

 

[larek]

He also doesn't turn 18 until August. Way too early to make any assessment on this kid or any other your player for the 24 draft.

Not early at all he's going to be a scorer and doing that at his age is imprrssive

 

[sheed36]

TSN just ruined that great Slapshot clip. Just no TSN b'y.

yeah what the hell
