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

Laughtons trade value has tanked.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Seems like just yesterday that Beauvillier was buttf***ing us in the playoffs and now he's playing for his 5th team.

 

[Curufinwe]

The Intangibles market crashed like NFTs

 

[trostol]

Laughtons trade value has tanked.

Which is exactly why they will trade him now lol

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I'm not complaining, but it's wild to me that a team with Malkin, Crosby, Letang, and Karlsson can be so putrid on the powerplay.

 

[Curufinwe]

Must be tough for the Tampa guys to focus on hockey

And they’re supposed to play in Tampa on Saturday

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Passing through waivers means nothing. They never have a career in no small part because they are not allowed to have one.

The Flyers are not going to learn anything about how effective their scouting, drafting, and development are if they refuse to let anyone play on the margins. If they ever want to compete, they're going to need to change that.

Every other team has prospects that they're able to plug in on the 4th line if they want to. If they Flyers don't, then they've failed disastrously at scouting, drafting, and development for a long time.

Danny Briere passed thru waivers

It's the Hayes effect

 

[FLYguy3911]

The Flyers aren’t making three 1st round picks next draft. Take that one to the bank.

12+28+32 for 8th overall.

 

[Curufinwe]

Leafs shutout in Berube’s first game

 

[Juicy Pop]

Oh nice, the Pens are getting crushed... oh no, the Rags are crushing them.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

First opening night shutout for the Rangers since 1956.

The Pens looked like I imagine the Flyers looking most nights this year.

 

[ponder719]

Danny Briere passed thru waivers

Waive him again now.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Briere needs to have all his NHL stats rescinded. By passing through waivers, he cannot ever be NHL level and therefore all he accomplished in the NHL is fraudulent. The waivers have spoken.

 

[deadhead]

12+28+32 for 8th overall.

12 & 28 should get you to 5-6.
Though it's doubtful anyone would trade down from there.

More interesting moves will be to combine one of the picks in the 30s with one of the picks in the 20s to move up into the teens.
Or combine their own 2nd and a pick in the 30s to move up into the 20s.

 

[Curufinwe]

Oilers need to dig the f*** in.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

12 & 28 should get you to 5-6.
Though it's doubtful anyone would trade down from there.

Teams often get a 2 for moving down a handful of spots in the low teens. 27 + 32 + 45 got Arizona to 11 a couple of years ago.

12 + 28 I would expect to be the ask for 9ish if a team wanted to move it. Which they probably don’t as you correctly said.

 

[flyersnorth]

He's decided to go as one of the members of Da Vinki for Halloween, and is growing his hair up for it?

That's a man in denial of his impending baldness.

How can this be Crosby's 20th season??

Amazing player, nothing but respect. But retire already lol.

Age comes for us all.

They'll burn the two picks to move up to the mid teens and take a reach

 

[Curufinwe]

Don't let Pens fans and hockey media tell you Crosby always took discounts to help his team. If the cap is $93m in 25-26 and Bedard signed an extension at the same cap percentage that Crosby did for his first contract, Bedard would be on 5 x $16,085,487.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Leafs shutout in Berube’s first game

A waiver wire goalie gets a 46 save shutout

 

[deadhead]

Something to watch as a Flyer fan:

Georgiev got bombed last night, 62 starts the last two seasons, Sv% fell from .918 to .897 last season.
Annunen is the backup, had a good cameo last year in 12 starts, but still couldn't win the starting job.

Goalie struggles and defensive depth could deep six a top offense.

Flyers have their 1st rd pick.

 

[Curufinwe]

Woll injured again before the season even started.
