Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXVIII: The Liaison of Doom

[blackjackmulligan]

Honestly, I think they are going to be a bit better than we think. I think they have a lot of great young pieces and a decent D-core right now, especially with Subban gone. I'll be honest, I think Eakins gets fired before Ruff.

Like their team and the moves they made. do not like the coach. Shocked they kept him.

Additionally, the mental health crisis IS the flavor of the day. It's more discussed today than ever before. Just google "mental health pandemic."

Can confirm

I have no idea how Eakins got a second HC job right out of Edmonton. That team was an AV-tier mess under him.

Calgary has to do it to stay competitive but good luck to whoever sees the end of the deals they handed out this summer.

Hockey Nova Scotia to withhold registration fees from Hockey Canada

Hockey Nova Scotia has "lost confidence" in Hockey Canada's leadership and is suspending the transfer of funds to the national organization.

www.sportsnet.ca

The headline isn't really the biggest item in the article, though:

Also Thursday, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said he needs to see meaningful changes at Hockey Canada before the 2023 world junior hockey championship can proceed in his province. Halifax and Moncton, N.B., are to co-host the tournament in December and January.

They'll just play it in Edmonton/Red Deer for the 1000th time (too lazy to see if the dates line up).

Season starts in Prague in about an hour. Decided not to go after all, although I guess it could improve my feelings about NHL in Prague; the last game I saw was Hakstok coached Flyers here ehhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Rebels57]

Less than Provorov lol

Czech TV "experts" before the game:

"What would I say about Roman Josi? Wow he is fantastic. Great, almost nothing missing. But I think he would definitely look better if he was more physical. Have you seen how big he is?"

ooooooooooooooooooo



edit - why the F is Prague booing Nashville, I have no idea

 

[Striiker]

Less than Provorov lol

@Hollywood Cannon can you believe this hater?

that was my first thought too lol don’t tell HC

Some interesting names, a few I wouldn’t mind taking a swing at if we actually had the cap space. Also if we weren’t at 49 contracts.

And that last contract is going to Anisimov.

None of those guys really excite me, but you just have to laugh at the incompetence. No cap flexibility, no contract flexibility, and a shitty NHL roster. The bad GM checklist.

Ftr, I think the Weegar deal is fair and likely manageable with an increasing cap (Sanheim comp?). I'm just generally against this many max term contracts for guys into their 30s.

I'm going to laugh so hard if the Flyers claim Martinook.

There's a risk

Welcome to Arizona, Anton Khudobin.

 

[Curufinwe]

Less than Provorov lol

He'll also be 29 when the deal starts, and 37 when it ends.

I'm going to laugh so hard if the Flyers claim Martinook.

I'd much rather have him on the roster than MacEwen.

Or Anisimov.

Or Deslauriers, although there's no chance of him getting waived.

[Ghosts Beer]

Bunch of stiffs.

 

[FlyerNutter]

My dream of Anton on the Flyers a reality?
