Official 2024-25 Utah HC Season Discussion.

I'm reading a lotta what we need here. I'll tell ya what we need, what we need is the puking forwards to be more responsible and to be assets on the breakouts, as opposed to liabilities.

Edit: I'm not a disgruntled D man, played center my entire life.

Waiver claim? Ruhwedel from the Rangers? Cheap ($775k), last year of his contract.

LeBrun thinks BA is going to weather the storm rotating pieces in and out from Tucson for now. But he's been making calls around the league to see what's out there. Seemed the thinking BA would prefer a rental than anyone with term

Provorov was mentioned but LeBrun doesn't think Columbus is ready for any moves right now.

Need @rt to start the draft prospect watch. Starting to feel like it will be needed.

I’ve been falling in love with all the wrong prospects. Aitcheson, Smith and Cootes. Didn’t dare to dream about Desnoyers or McQueen. Perhaps I need to set my sites higher…

DeAngelo went to Russia. He's also locker room kryptonite.

he seemed to get along fine in carolina. it is funny he went to russia when his reputation started because of a russian goalie on the rangers.

when his reputation started because of a russian goalie on the rangers.

His reputation started in the OHL and there's been a long list of things along the way since then. The incident with Georgiev is just another.

There's a reason he's played for 4 teams in 7 years and is now in the KHL. It's not talent related.

Edit: I wouldn't want him anywhere near the young guys in the organization, personally. A brand new NHL franchise doesn't need the bad press that tends to follow him around either.

100% agree that bad press isn't needed. he seemed to be fine with carolina last season tho.

*edit* canes aren't exactly a young group, so different circumstances

This team looks no different than last year and that starts with the coaching staff. Also, I think the GM is on the hot seat if we see another bottom 10 finish.

At some point, you have to take a step. The training wheels can't be left on forever. I won't fully judge this team until American thanksgiving though. Will see where they stand then and go from there. We have to be patient dealing with two top 4 D-men out, but other guys have to step up as every team goes through injuries, and good teams are able to whether the storm.

AT will be on the hot seat long before BA. I agree, time shit or get off the pot.

 

[Mosby]

The Jets are going for the SC this year so you are not getting Pionk, let alone for so little. Same goes for Provorov who may go to a SC contender, but either of those two are going to cost more. IF that is what you want to give up think another over the hill stop gap player like Cole.


That would depend on what BA thinks of Liljegren, and vice versa. I think TO might want a draft pick or two instead of Carcone.

Oh absolutely. It would be Carcone plus a pick.

 

[Jakey53]

Oh absolutely. It would be Carcone plus a pick.

Keep on adding.

 

[Schemp]

If we keep this up I have my doubts about winning the President's Trophy!

Yes, we all know your annual mantra.
