Speculation: Nyquist "out sick" tonight

[devbouz12]

Well I guess he won't be traded to the Jets...

Ok you can show yourself out now

It is flu season, he could just be sick.

 

[Reddwit]

A player in a contract year is not going to sit out and miss opportunities to collect points unless he's feeling deadly ill. So either he's been hurling all morning or there is a trade coming in the next day or two.

Do you know how many players in contract years have sat out games of a potential impending trade? A player doesn’t have the final say about playing.

Diarrhea!

 

[Remember2004]

Wings called up Filip Hronek out of the blue yesterday which made me think they are working on trading a defenseman.

They have Luke Witkowski who can play both positions (forward and defense) sitting in the press box, so calling up Hronek makes zero sense. Unless a trade is brewing... who knows.

I think that is one of the coolest things

Trade deadline is over two weeks away - Wings are not going to sit him for two weeks. He's just ill.

Blashill just talks like that - nothing to read into that either. NHL has strict rules against giving too much info on players - he's just checking himself to be very vague.

Not agreeing one way or another but you may want to check your math again? Even if you go by yesterday when you posted, that puts the trade deadline just over a week away, not over two weeks away.

Blashill says Nyquist will play Wednesday very likely, so turns out, it was probably just the flu all along. Also, seems like people are putting a little negative spin on teams for sitting players that may get traded, when that is both allowed and smart. There is no rule, that says any given player must play if healthy, otherwise how does every team have 3 extras every game?

Maybe it’s Maybelline

I am sure it was the flu, Nielsen was out the day before with it!!

they do with no trade clauses!!!

 

[DingDongCharlie]

2019 2nd + Petrovic + B prospect?

 

[Richard Menzel]

well i mean eklund said caps were going hard after him and then a few hours later it was reported that wings asked him if he would waive soooooo

DETROIT: NYQUIST 50% retained, Glendening 25% retained to the CAPITALS for 1st rd pick , Burakovski, and Goalie Samsonov!!

 

[Richard Menzel]

Then McDavid is good as gone then.

No Mcdavid is sick of the players he has on his team. They could trade 95% of that teams!!

 

[Reddwit]

they do with no trade clauses!!!

No they don’t. NTC has no bearing on playing versus sitting. Imagine a coach not being able to scratch a player for poor effort because of their NTC, lol.

 

[HolyGhost]

Could a trade be impending?

or he could be sick

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

I actually wonder if this was meant to be a little bit of a mind game. Holland broadcasting, "Nyquist is in demand! I could make a trade any day now, so you'd better get your offer in now!"

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

So he could use some NyQuil?

Get it. His name is Nyquist...

Babcock wouldn't have smirked.

 

[Bronson]

Either Nyquist is getting traded or Blashill likes to laugh at him being sick. Which is it?

What a crock. He doesn't have high blood pressure.
