NHL: Around the League 53

[clydesdale line]

Bums on this board were saying that Strome was going to crater with Ovi out

He's still having multi-point nights with Taylor Raddysh on his wing lol

On pace for 122 points

I've gotta admit. I was wrong about Strome. SO FAR, he's been very good without Ovi.

Didn't Trotz go after Wedgewood and tell Askarov camp he would have to compete for #2 spot, Or am I wrong in memory here?

Pretty sure Wedgewood situation was final break in relationship that was fast going downhill after Saros contract

Either way Trotz continues to be disaster for Preds

With the way the Askarov situation played out. Him being alienated and traded because there wasn't a spot. Now the goalie that was holding him back, after recently being signed is traded as well.

On top of that...Askarov looks like the real deal.

Trotz needs to fire himself at this point. He doesn't know what he's doing anymore.

They just need to rebuild. They've had 2 years getting hot late in the year making them change their rebuild plans.

They just traded Tomasino for a fourth. I don’t know what Trotz is up to, but it ain’t rebuilding.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Will be interesting to see what Jackets got for him

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Will be interesting to see what Jackets got for him

My guess ant picks are a first and a third.

Know i need to avoid main boards but there were some in heavy denial CBJ fans acting like its totally normal and not an issue that Jiricek wanted out when he played 6 games and sat 12 games.

He clearly only agreed to go to the ahl if they agreed to do trade talks, rumors began immediately after his 1st game.

 

[TLEH]

100% his attitude was an issue. He's not NHL good enough and he refused to play AHL at one point. He's back there now but like.. how do you deal with that?

Sucks he is in division though.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

He processes the game slow and he skates slow. Waddell was right to capitalize on his draft position value and move on from him.

 

[Drumman44]

The whole thing still seems off. I wouldn’t have traded Toronto’s first and Ethan Del Maestro for him, which would have been a comparable trade for us.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Trade is a little bigger

Trade is a little bigger

So basically jackets are getting a first in the late 20s-30s then. Wild have the 2nd best record in the league.

Jones and Allan for Pick 31, one combined season of Boqvist, and Cole Sillinger lol

 

[Wally1112pac]

That Jones trade is looking better and better every day. Columbus has almost nothing to show for it.

Jackets have been a mess since 2000.

 

[Dead Meat]

I'm glad KD didn't give this shit up...

 

[ColbyChaos]

That Jones trade is looking better and better every day. Columbus has almost nothing to show for it.

Jackets have been a mess since 2000.

Cole Sillinger -Still there
Adam Boqvist -Gone
2021 2nd Rounder/Jake Bean -Gone
David Jiricek -Gone/traded



Seth Jones and Nolan Allan for SIllinger and a bunch of picks basically valued a round later as the Wild will be in their competetive window the next 5 years

 

[Kevin Musto]

W for Minnesota

 

[HagelsBagels]

That Jones trade is looking better and better every day. Columbus has almost nothing to show for it.

Jackets have been a mess since 2000.

Both teams lost

 

[Hawkaholic]

Both teams lost

Yup

Would have had a worse record without Jones and had they not traded for Fleury that off season. Could have drafted Cooley or Cutter. Could have drafted Cossa, or Wallstedt instead of Sillinger. Not to mention, Jackets still have that 1st round pick, a 2nd round, a third round pick, and a 4th round pick. And we have Jones who can't be given away, and Allan who could maybe be more than a depth Dman.

Speaking of Cutter

LOL at Briere and Flyers blowing that situation and ultimately trading him away for damaged goods and 2nd

Today's trade really shows how awful the Cutter trade was

Also Flyers should have probably been involved here they more than had assets to make move (3 1sts's) and Jiricek is exactly the D prospect they need
