Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXV: Halfway to Christmas

[Tripod]

Deslauriers type money. His limited offense is a 37 point pace last year, then 47 and 43 the previous 2 years.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Fletcher signed players he'd already heard of. Hence the retreads and a guy who fought Seeler.

Is Savoie standing on a stool? People will be comparing this group to Boston’s famous three in a few years. Only one that will turn out decent is Kulich

 

[Curufinwe]

I really don't understand the Oscar thing. Like it doesn't make anything that comes close to sense.

He beat cancer and scored 25 points, but they wanted a guy who can beat up dudes and score 15 points if he’s lucky.

Deslauriers type money

He always gets underpaid.

I can't believe Tampa was able to get rid of mcdonagh's contract once again. It's just like with Filppula and Tyler Johnson trades. Teams are so f***en stupid.

Unlike Deslorieus he tends to play for winning teams for some reason. But fits our culture and process. Just like Fisto with similarly stupid deal.

This statement is going to go down in history as accurate as this one by Tommy Lasorda after he got cut to make room for some bonus baby: "Koufax? He's never going to amount to much!"

Lucky for Buffalo he's the board dope.

He hasn't made a single correct statement in his entire time on this site so consider that post to be massive praise for your draft.

He’s a good player still and Nashville
got to dump Myers and have $9m in cap space.

Also this trade happened two weeks ago.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

The nino disrespect is unreal.

The scary thing is the mentality he displayed in dismissing them for lack of size is the same as the bumbling oafs who ran the Flyers straight into the ground and who are still in charge.

He thinks size is the most important part of hockey and said that fighting and hitting are more important to him than scoring.

He's the type of fan Fletcher is building this team for.

Yea it seemed like Boston jumped over similar guys like Barzal to go with heavier options that missed.

Buffalo seem so set right now with what should be homegrown and cheaper talent. Congrats, well deserved.

Having that much talent accumulated really makes me want to sell off players like Provorov and Couts. Get 4, 2023 1sts and we we would be in much much better shape.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Buffalo seems to finally have competent management after a decade or so of turmoil.

Maybe the Flyers will get there one day.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Yeah but the Flyers signed a guy who had his career high of 15 points EIGHT seasons ago.

 

[Rebels57]

I really don't understand the Oscar thing. Like it doesn't make anything that comes close to sense.

How else could they sign their prized target, 31 year old Trashcan Deslauriers?

 

[Curufinwe]

Someone on the main boards compared him to Lappy as a player which was absurd. He had a 45 point season.

NJ trades Ty Smith & 2023 third rounder to Pittsburgh for John Marino.

 

[Tripod]

Disappointed to see the Chuck thread closed. Best thread of the offseason.

 

[Magua]

NJ trades Ty Smith & 2023 third rounder to Pittsburgh for John Marino.

I like that trade a lot for Jersey. Ty Smith's value is, uh, not at a high. I liked the prospect, but he had a brutal year, and frankly, the Devils are pretty loaded on offense from the backend long-term. It's still within the realm of possibility the Penguins get him back into form, and he could be a system fit. So, I'm not saying it's as crazy a bet as the graphs portray.

But besides Marino just being a more valuable player -- with 5 years term -- I think it's a good fit trade. I'm imagining Hughes-Marino in the future. I mean Marino isn't the second coming of Vlasic, like he showed in 19-20, but he's a capable top 4 defensive d. Wouldn't you know, good ones don't cost Ristolainen prices.
