Interesting Info: Part XXII (Jackets-related "tidbits" here)

[ViD]

Not only am I convinced that Sillinger should not be used as a center, that he would be better utilized as a shooting/scoring winger, but also that his “development” hasn’t been ruined or hindered in any way, and that he is simply just a YOUNG player, playing out of position, while -possibly the most important- being OUT OF SHAPE.

He doesn’t look out of shape in the pics above

I could believe that he's actually cut fat in the last couple months. I thought he was carrying extra this year. He had more visible fat around the jaw than he does in those photos.

I was thinking the guy looks like he has gotten himself into much better shape over the last couple of months, but I also wasn’t 100% sure it was him. Let’s hope he works out, works on his skating, and stays away from the Canadian pop stars this off-season.

Of course part of his being fit for playing is cardio/endurance which I’m not sure you can see via photography.

Although I’m sure some of our fitness community will come around and tell me you can.

The Seth Jones/Ryan Johansen trade 7 years later

CBJ=David Jiříček

Preds=UFA Alex Galchenyuk, 4 million against the cap for 2 years

other pieces were involved, but these are the main takeaways.

Another worry about him acquiring a visa with what is going on right now.

He would have problems in Europe, but not in the US/Canada. In his case, the problem is more bureaucracy.

Jiricek, Boqvist, Sillinger, and Bean… Definitely a win for CBJ. Lol

Maybe. None of those players have truly cemented themselves as NHLers

Well, most of them are certainly more likely to be NHL contributors in 2023 and beyond than Galchenyuk is at this point. Big thanks to Stan Bowman for the haul.

That said, Joey only being a cap dump is still pretty surprising to me.

Amazing how we win every trade and in the end we are where we are.

Because we win the trades too far apart.
If the trades happened within 2 years I am sure things could be a little different

Set up better for the future? Sucks bottoming out but all the great teams have gone through it. Its better than what Vancouver was doing and just building the most random overpaid team they could. Atleast the deal mentioned there was all future pieces and atleast 1 of them has sky high upside

The goal should be to to build a team that can compete for the Cup, not just win trades. We need leadership that can develop and execute a solid plan.

So with Nadine, we'll have at least ONE good coach on the ice.

Best WORST Post 2000 Team You Can Make With Players That Played On Your Team

Got this idea from Mr.Misunderstood, put together the WORST possible lineup you can, only stipulation is the player must've played over 41 games for the team (otherwise it's too plug who played 1 game centric)

forums.hfboards.com

As soon as I saw that I knew that I had to have Geoff Platt as the #1C (although I did also consider Stanley Cup Champion Mark Hartigan). And of course the top wingers would have to be Picard and Filatov. It went downhill from there.

As a fan of Remembering Guys™ I enjoyed this.

The Jets didn't issue a QO to Kevin Stenlund. I had high hopes for him back when he was in the CBJ system.
