Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCVIII: Orange is the new Orange (Poll in OP)

[Curufinwe]

To be positive, you could say Johansen only played 55 games and only scored 28 points last season because of an Achilles injury.

[deadhead]

Johansen had 28 points (7-11 18 at ES) in 55 games.
He's been very inconsistent the last four years, with one good season in 2021-22 (15-23 39 ES).
Third line winger at this point in his career who's mediocre on defense.

Nashville now has $19M and a bunch of 2023 draft picks, are they reloading or rebuilding?
With Duchene, Josi and McDonagh eating $23M for the next 3 seasons, I'd think they're reloading.
Especially since they just missed the playoffs with 92 points last season.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I've never liked either of those guys. Or any of the current Flyers.

 

[wankstifier]

What is Boston doing?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Ok yeah, the Flyers are probably getting nothing for Hayes

Probably won’t unless they are willing to take a contract back.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I think Hayes is way more coveted than RyJo.

Johanson is cooked.

 

[Curufinwe]

I don’t think any team covets Hayes. Shifted to wing in favor of a rookie, removed from the PK entirely, and benched for lack for effort by the coach the whole league knows he can’t play for any longer.

yet it seems he was more desirable over Hayes so far

As if Calgary hasn't had enough of a bad week...

What the hell is that. That is just terrible terrible terrible. I looked myself and it’s pretty incredible. They had a few 1sts in that time. The draft a year before their confine was Matt Tkachuk…

Hayes value just went to shit. I don’t really understand that deal. The retention cost assets which the Avs did not pay.

Wtf did Barry Trotz just do?

 

[GKJ]

Probably won’t unless they are willing to take a contract back.

Which would be totally fine

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

 

[FLYguy3911]

Kinda cheap.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Which would be totally fine

But it depends. I would be against someone like Krug

That’s not happening.

Went for the Habs’ 2024 second rounder.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'm not going to overreact or anything, but Briere has to be careful not to let the market pass him by - the old Chuck Fletcher special. It hasn't happened yet, and there's plenty of time, but ... get on your f***ing bike, DB.

 

[Chinatown88]

Stupid Flyers west might be getting PLD. Stupid Torts has to be coach here still. This asshole better lead the best tank ever.

Eh, he's fine atm. The only other player you want him to move before the season is Hayes. TDA is a bonus. Laughton has a decent enough contract that he can be moved any time. Hart, you can't rush that. He's an RFA next summer anyways, so there's no pressure to trade him

I want him to move Hayes more than anyone - I think that should be obvious by now - but he has a lot more to do than that.

Yeah, he has more moves to make, but the only two players that had to be moved this summer were Provorov and Hayes.
All the others aren't pressing

I disagree. What if I vomit to death having to watch them all the way until the deadline?

I thought the hit effects on the intro were the coolest thing I've ever seen and I maintain the NHL broadcasts have never matched it.

 

[Rebels57]

Fox marketed the NHL in the 90s better than anyone else before or since.
