News & Notes XLIV: Revenge of the Seth

[Porvari]

Teräväinen, Luostarinen, Haula and Huckenpah also flying the Canes flag for Finland, should you choose to think so.

Teräväinen, Luostarinen, Haula and Huckenpah also flying the Canes flag for Finland, should you choose to think so.

I think you can make that argument 75% of the time here.

Love it for ya, Necas baby!

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Guess he’s not happy being in Chicago.

Can’t blame him

 

[WreckingCrew]

Love it for ya, Necas baby!

 

[hblueridgegal]

He's a delightful mess

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Who would we even trade Jarvis for? The kid does EVERYTHING

McDavid, obviously

But they would have to add

Sumptin ain't right wit dat boy!

 

[AD Skinner]

I keep thinking over and over that when Amazon did that behind the scenes playoff thing what an opportunity they fumbled by not getting Jarvis footage

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Patrick Marleau?

 

[Joe McGrath]

Patrick Marleau?

They should probably add Marleau to the #12 retirement ceremony just for getting us Jarvis.

Interesting times. Svetch gets hot & time to move him to Staal, the stat killer:

 

[AD Skinner]

Wasn’t svech playing with staal against the islanders? Maybe I am tripping

 

[robbieberns]

Necas and Svech on their off wings, that’ll do.

 

[Nikishin al Gaib]

Necas-Aho-Jarvis hsa potential to be one of the best lines we've ever iced.

Robinson-Drury-Blake has potential to be the worst 2nd line in the league

Martinook-Staal-Svech has potential to be the most playoff ready line we have on the roster

And that 4th line seems interchangeable with any other 4th line we've iced.

 

[Stanky and Janky]

Interesting times. Svetch gets hot & time to move him to Staal, the stat killer:

I mean, wasn't there a lot of PP production and an EN goal in that hot streak. Don't think either of those would be affected. They are slumping and searching for answers, so not much is surprising.

 

[hblueridgegal]

The KK vs Drury spots are the hot topic of Canes social. KK's treatment is rubbing some the wrong way. Folks calling out RBA for having double standards and questioning his decision making in times of trouble especially re: the constant line shuffling. AG joined the debate fray - saying "KK has a hive" aka Beyonce.

Ryan Suzuki's stock is on the rise so he's being brought into it as well as a new option.

 

[robbieberns]

Absolutely would be worth throwing Suzuki for a few games at 2C. Tired of seeing two warring factions advocate for one water carrying donkey over another.

 

[AD Skinner]

Neither are second line centers so it’s kinda academic

 

[Blueline Bomber]

The KK vs Drury debate was fine when that was one of the team's biggest issues. Now? Much bigger fish to fry

 

[hblueridgegal]

Neither are second line centers so it’s kinda academic

Most of it appears to be due to the line with Robinson and Necas with KK working so well at the start. But, also, about KK's punishment and TOI and how it may have even affected the locker room. Folks are asking why not trade him instead of carrying on the current situation.

I said a few weeks ago, it reminded me of the Haula situation but this time more folks are siding with the player. Sometimes it's best to move on.

 

[Nikishin al Gaib]

Honestly, this is where I am. While I do think he can have a good future in this league, Brindy clearly doesn't want to be playing him and at this point, if we're just hell bent on playing Drury 2C, just trade him for a bag of pucks and call up one of the kids.

2C is a major weakness for us. Its past time we fixed it, and none of those fixes are in-house. They also aren't going to be magically appearing in FA next summer, and even if they are, we damn well know we won't be paying their market price. Time to get aggressive in the trade market to bring in someone with term who can help solidify it going forward.

I wonder if KK doesn’t practice hard or exhibits some other traits Rod isn’t fond of. His treatment does seem unfair/personal at times. But, I’m outside the room obviously lol so who knows
