Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXVIII: The Liaison of Doom

[kudymen]

Edit - how about no. Lets not start this early in the season

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I don't think any team in the league wants Mike Reilly at $3M. We'll find out.

 

[DancingPanther]

Imagine that.

Basically the same organization as the Flyers

 

[FLYguy3911]

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[Beef Invictus]

Imagine that.

I can't. The Flyers haven't done anything like this in years.

Unless you wanna count Yandle and Thompson.

This also slaughters the notion that contending teams don't do this.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I can't. The Flyers haven't done anything like this in years.

Bruh, Noah Cates is 2C, what you talking about?!

 

[Beef Invictus]

It's a pity that Cates hope-bubble will be bursting soon.

For those who want context to what Simmonds is referring to without clicking on the actual article by that assclown (I got this from another site myself):

No one wants to say this because of the politically correct police and all, but those who coached Akim Aliu must cringe every time they see him in a news report or a commercial talking about what’s wrong with hockey. Like he would know. By my count, Aliu played for 23 teams in nine different leagues in 12 professional seasons and rarely finished any season with the same team he started with. If that was colour-related, how is it that Wayne Simmonds spent just about the same 12 seasons playing in the NHL?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Go f***ing get it Mr. Train.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Wtffffff

Those are some serious allegations

I like Cates but he should not be the 2C

 

[deadhead]

Right. They suspend Cole but still don't have the cap room to keep Myers. Ok.

Suspended players count against the cap

 

[Cody Webster]

Suspended players count against the cap

Rules are tough to understand and follow

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Remember that time that “Myers got caved in against the Islanders so no one would trade for him” and then a month later Chuck gave him an awful contract?

I remember.

 

[deadhead]

Imagine that.

And their alternative is what? JT Compher? A marginal 3C?

This is more like "I hope Newhook can live up to his draft status, b/c we're so thin up front that I'm gonna have to promote some AHL+ players."

Jost #10, gone, Kaut #16 placed on waivers.

 

[Magua]

The Stanley Cup champion doesn’t have a 2C and has to play a good prospect!

Imagine being so thin up front and still winning a cup. Sounds just like the Flyers

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Steve Simmons is gutter trash. Go off, Wayne.

Well you see… the organization that Chuckles runs would bring in a shitty ass veteran and bury a player like Newhook before he even got a chance.

The Avalanche want to see what they have. Yes, the team that just won the Stanley Cup is giving their players runway to see what they have because that’s what good franchises do.

And if they do have it, then congrats! You have cap efficiency.

If a good player stopped them from playing, I’m sure people wouldn’t have that much of an issue. But nick f***ing seeler lol

But ya I’d much rather have him than f***ing seeler rn

Here’s the thing. Seeler is fine as a number 7. 20 games or so a year. Most every team has someone similar. You pay a vet under a million to do this. If he plays more than 25 games that’s a different issue

He played 43 games last year and the only reason that wasn't more was injury and COVID. Fletcher is the only GM who considers him a regular NHLer.

This isn’t last year. Unless Zamula and Attard falter and York sulks ( I expect this is a wake up call and we see him in a couple months) it won’t happen.
