Miscellaneous NHL Discussion C: The centenarian of threads

[Sombastate]

We've all said it, but holy f***: The fact that sexual assault, followed by a cover up, is penalized less than "Oh, I'm sorry you weren't supposed to be traded there" is absolutely insane

Rumours floating around that Chiarelli is replacing Dorion.

Press conference in 25 minutes will confirm.

 

[deadhead]

I see a home coming in 2026-27 as a veteran forward sees a short-term contract with his old team as his best shot at the Cup before he retires.

 

[Redpath]

I don't care how he does it, if Chiarelli gets hired then Briere needs to find a way to take advantage of the Pinto situation and rip Chia off.

This one's easy.

Flyers get:
Shane

Sens get:
a Pinto

they are the same person in my eyes 2 worst GMs in NHL's history

 

[Curufinwe]

2 goals in 32 career playoff games when it actually matters. Who’s the authentic.

I'm pretty sure the Authentic is the guy who took a year off posting here after slurping the utterly useless Zack MacEwen and claiming the 22-23 Flyers would be in a dogfight for the playoffs.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Good on this guy.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Rats, Steve Staios is the interim GM.

 

[Striiker]

Good on this guy.

Someone who isn't an overly-media-trained coward? Calls out the leagues shit? Love it.

 

[Chinatown88]

31 team tournament for Bedard but it's decided in NHL 24.

 

[Curufinwe]

Tampa's cheap goalie starter has played 8 games at .922 so far.

So maybe the Flyers can soon take the drastic step of putting Sandstrom on waivers. Last season he played 20 games at .880.

 

[wankstifier]

What a shitty start for the Senators

 

[deadhead]

Good on this guy.

I see a lawsuit against the league in his future.

 

[GKJ]

Feel like that’s a bit of a harsh penalty unless the Senators were not being cooperative or intentionally deceitful.

Well I know you can't be talking a out any Flyers forwards. Who does this refer to?

Considering the league has all this info and it's their job to approve trades based on all of this, I struggle to see how this isn't the NHL's fault.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Even on draft day Slaf had to be one of the weakest prospect to ever go #1 (at least within the last decade or so).

There’s all kinds of nuance around no trade lists, it’s absolutely insane that a serious major hockey league can’t keep this straight. The agent should know when and when his clients’ no trade lists are and are not valid and it’s not exactly difficult to tell who does or does not have one.

If I have to pick the season sample or the tournament sample, always go tournament. Never fails.

I thought he seemed low IQ and played at a bad pace in the couple games I caught. I didn’t think he seemed that impressive for a top 10 guy let alone 1st overall. And his “pro ready” size was viewed as a strength.

This kind of thing is a main, core function of a sports governing body. And they don't even seem to realize they should be embarrassed that they blew this, all this time later. That's somehow worse. And they're punishing a team for their own screwup.

If they'd blown it and had the common sense to realize "wait, this is our purpose" and brushed it under the rug I'd feel better about the league's competence. There has been no introspection or realization. Coming on the heels of the goofy tape dumbness, it seems clear to me that it's time for fresh blood.

This should always be a huge red flag. This says "he big-boyed his way against youngs," which should raise concern about how he will fare in a league where size is a complimentary trait.

He was in Liiga to be fair. But if you’re going to drool over size, then dominance needs to be the expectation. The red flag is production.

The same shit logic was used to believe Lafreniere and Kakko were better prospects than Hughes. And they actually had production.

 

[deadhead]

Well, size does help some players, like Matthew Tkachuk. He wouldn't be the same at 5'10 190.
Same with Couts or Stone.

But as Patrick showed, if you're physically mature at 17-18, of course they can dominate other kids who won't physically mature until 20-21. So it makes projecting these types difficult.
