NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIX: Processing a Tremendous Amount of Insane Information

[Magua]

Trading 30+ Ristolainen or Laughton is a Sophie’s Choice for this rebuilding team, and the Canes are wheeling and dealing with a homegrown player tied with Konecny in points.

I don’t know how it plays out — do they feel somewhat confident they can re-sign Rantanen? — but this is a “We Want a Cup and Aren’t F***ing Around” trade. Must be nice to have high standards.

Was wondering why the boards were running so slow...had just turned on the Dallas/Vegas game on ESPN and heard the trade...didn't know the trade deadline got moved to January 31....

Oh yeah, I forgot that Frank isn’t a reliable source.

Man, killed two false narratives in one tweet....that's gold

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Obligatory easy trade. Anyone could have done it.

and gets them out of the Kotkaniemi contract.

I do not at all understand how they managed this.

Their GM isn't Danny Briere

So does Colorado then try to swing a deal with Vancouver?

Probably.

Someone out there said Vancouver wanted Necas in a Miller trade and Carolina wouldn’t do it.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Not worried. Philly will easily get as much (or more) for Laughton when they trade him in 2029.

Fridge confirms why I don't follow Frank

Boo. More parts. Give me an NBA trade.

I hate sports reporters.

Get the facts right before posting.

I WILL WISH MORE RGB ON YOU IF I SEE THIS IN HOCKEY. f*** NBA TRADES

RGB is dead. Pancreatic cancer, I believe.

RGB is dead. Pancreatic cancer, I believe.

I HOPE THE MADAM OF THE WHALE MANOR REQUESTS YOU TO BUILD ANOTHER CUSTOM PC FOR A YOUNGER FAMILY MEMBER AND IT REQUIRES RGB ON EVERY COMPONENT AND PERIPHERAL.

Sportsnet had just posted an article about how a Rantanen contract could be an issue for the Avs.

Losing Necas is tough, but it's swapping him for a stud in Rantanen, who now gets to play with another Finnish star, and gets them out of the Kotkaniemi contract.

Tulsky or Briere? Tough choice there.

Where did Kotkaniemi go?

[JojoTheWhale]

How do I like this the least for Chicago? Unless they’re getting more?

 

[Curufinwe]

So much trickling on a Friday night

 

[Adam Warlock]

But deadhead said trades dont happen until the week before the deadline and we are wrong to criticize Briere (and previously Fletcher) for not making trades sooner.

Drink every time an insider has to drop a cliche when they don't have the info.

Losing Necas kinda sucks, but he'll be a UFA himself after next season. He and MacKinnon should be a menace together though. Talk about a blitzkrieg.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Laughton?
