NHL: Around the League 50

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Is it just me or is this a real asshole answer here?

So Vrana having issues we all know ended up in AHL after being reinstated from NHL assistance program.

After struggling at start of AHL stint he now heating up and playing well in AHL from all reviews and when reporter asked about his recent strong play the Wings coach gave this answer

First 8 games in GR
1 assist and -6

Last 7 games in GR
6 goals + 2 assists and a +5

Its clear Wings want to move on and in offseason will, but this seemed unnecessary to me. He could have given a PR or simple positive response "We hope he continues to find his game", etc, etc

Feels like there's a lot more to the situation than they're talking about.

He's already back playing

Two thoughts. 1. Not sure that was intentional. Makar seemed to turn into it. 2. Didn’t Jeff Carter retire like ten years ago?

I imagine your confusing Mike Richards and Jeff Carter

Seriously strange take. That never looked like a concussion. And it didn't look intentional.

First impression of the play looks like 6'3" Jeff Carter skated by and incidentally clipped 5'11" Makar in the head with his shoulder

 

[Malaka]

Tarasenko to rangers

Makar now out at least a week then re evaluated.

And that should eliminate one of Kane's destinations.

Live look at 88 rn

That sucks. Still doesn’t make the hit intentional in my eyes

It just may shoot a hole in the entire Kane trade. I just don't see it happening now.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I still think Kane is gone.

Whenever I see 'lower' pick I'm never quite sure if it means the lower number or the lower value.

If I’m Davidson, I get on the phone with the other top metro teams like CAR and NJD, and try to get them into an arms-race mindset. NYR just upgraded their arsenal, you gonna just sit back and so nothing?

Might not work, but worth a shot.

You never see Carolina make a big splash. Always bargain hunting for players. Patches, Burns, DeAngelo etc. Their only move last deadline was for Domi if I remember correctly. They need to push their chips in at some point.

Timo Meier seems like the guy

They do that it won't be for a rental. It's just now how they operate.

Didn't see this when I quoted Styles but yes this definitely feels like the Carolina play. It also won't be cheap which again is the Carolina play.

Agreed.

They draft well so I can see why they are reluctant to trade 1st round picks for rentals.

Kane is money cheap which is a plus in Dundon land.

And Tarasenko already gets his first goal
