Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XLIX: Covid Cup Edition

[Hollywood Cannon]

I hope it's a terrible return so I can laugh.

And by laugh you mean cry?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Do they get Pittsburgh’s first? That would probably be too much.

Doubt they’d give up Marino who Toronto would probably covet.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Shit, more speed in the division

 

[Chinatown88]

And by laugh you mean cry?

Why not both?

 

[pit]

Yay sports.


Trading while the playoffs are still going on due to coronavirus with what amounts to a super shortend offseason is, uh, kind of bullshit.

@Surrounded By Ahos Here's another one for your Rutherford recycling files.

I wonder if a goalie is involved.

 

[TCTC]

So Kapanen will play for the Penguins after all. Wasn't he part of the package they traded for Kessel?

Idk sounds like we need to redo our mock draft.

Agreed. I have to wait 30 picks until I make my next one. Ridiculous.

 

[bennysflyers16]

For Jack Johnson,,,,, What the actual f***

Tweet deleted now ,,,

 

[Prongo]

Rumor Johnson is in the deal. Rutherford gets a bad rep but man he can move trash out somehow....

deleted the tweet now. So maybe not. Watch Rust be part of the deal. Or any of their scrub defense. Letang?! Lol I kid I kid

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Agreed. I have to wait 30 picks until I make my next one. Ridiculous.

You have already made 30 picks.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

(Can't complain now that I have two teams)

 

[Chinatown88]

You have already made 30 picks.

And some Toes out here complaining that fake Stevie Y has too many picks. Smh my head.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Whenever your GM publicly assures that you're safe, there is a 100% chance you're getting traded/fired within a week

I wish I could go back in time and rig the selection order so that I could have Ottawa and their 39488388 picks.

 

[TB87]

If Dubas manages to wrangle Marino out of the Pens for Kapanen, it’d be a win. If it’s for Johnson....woooooooof

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I'm smelling a Marino deal and they have to take Johnson also.

 

[orangecrush8]

I think it has to be a goalie.

They want to go after Pietrangelo this offseason and dumping Kapanen (followed by an Andersen trade) is a start to making that happen.

 

[Chinatown88]

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Another year, another two years that the Penguins don't have a first round pick.

After 2021, they will have made two first round selections since 2013. That's two picks in nine seasons.

 

[orangecrush8]

Making room for Pietrangelo

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

May be a poor comparison but Anders Lee kind of reminds me of Tim Kerr.

Agreed.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Rutherford is a dope.

If they really manage to sign Pietrangelo, they would be spending almost half their cap space on 4 players.
And in 2 years Rielly will need a new contract too.

Dubas is desperate to save his job. We’re on year 3 of the Leafs needing to upgrade their defence. Dubas made this mess, he’s gotta do something to save face.
