Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCI: Bring Your Own Mustard

The Blues got the memo on tanking and are taking it to heart. They are awful right now.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Pretty good return for St. Louis.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Nice trade by the Blues. Doug Armstrong is doing well.

 

[Cody Webster]

Cuck is not

 

[FLYguy3911]

While checking in on Dean this season I stumbled on one of the craziest stat lines I've seen. Absurd run.

Pretty good return for St. Louis.

Vegas = LA Rams of the NHL.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Has TK been moved yet or are we still in Narnia.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Nobody with term is getting traded

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Buffalo might make the playoffs at this point, doing it off the backs of their young players mostly too. Thompson, Cozens, Dahlin, etc. (they have the overall youngest roster in the league at 25.43).

Dallas and Vegas were two of the teams in on JVR

Keep waiting Chuckles.

At this rate, JVR to Minnesota with 50% retention for a 2024 3rd and Jordan Greenway is my prediction.

Fletcher would be so proud of himself thinking he got a bargain on Greenway. So I could see it.

In reality he’d just be doing Minnesota a favor by taking that unnecessary contract on for a bad player who’s best quality is his measurables.

Can't really get over how crazy it is to be sitting on the sidelines with all of this action going on

They are lazy or they really like the team they have assembled.

Most likely a combo of the 2

It’s actually a good thing…

It is yet again more proof Holmgren is not the shadow master

He would absolutely brag about acquiring a player with term.

godam Caps.... you had 1 job to do today..

Pretty good return for St. Louis.

With two likely late firsts already this year through the ROR & Tarasenko trades. You get a former late first rounder in Dean who’s held value post draft & will be going into his D+3 year at the pro level next year for St. Louis.

Probably a middle of the lineup guy if everything goes right. I’d imagine St. Louis is looking at guys like Thomas & Kyrou to build around a few years from now when they’re in their prime.

@FLYguy3911 and me: "Only 19th?"

I thought his production would take a bigger step than it has, but Gatineau has been a weird team over the years with their depth. He played on Canada's 4th line at the WJC, and besides the dumb energy penalties, he still looked quite talented in sparse minutes. I know we really liked his feel and projectability at center. He does have underrated skill and wheels. It's quite possible there's a middle 6 center there, and as you said, ready to turn pro.

All for a meh UFA rental wing. No chance Fletcher gets this type of return for JVR, despite being a similar production player at a similar cost, with retention. I would've leapt at this one.

A 60 year old first time GM. Love a good youth movement!

I thought Trotz was older than that, but can anyone tell me why he'd be a good GM in 2023? Seems like touchy feely Predators Legacy shit more than a savvy front office hire. But it's a No Man's Land team, so I guess a No Man's Land hire works.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Devils got Timo apparently

 

[DancingPanther]

McDavid is the first player to record a double digit number of 4 point games in a season since Lemieux

 

[Danko]

Good Lord. Our Division is stacking up and we havent even begun to rebuild.

I bet Boston is nervous about Torts and Chuck sneaking into that WC2 spot.
