Official 2024-25 Utah HC Season Discussion.

[Mangosteen]

I am starting to lean towards Bear. We are lacking systems for the team we have.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Your first line winger doesn't have a goal in 19 games is not acceptable. Bear has to send a message to the team, maybe bench Schmaltz for a game. Do the same with Crouse.

That would be stupid given the lack of acceptable replacements.

 

[Heldig]

OK, Ottawa looking to deal...

Your preferences considering the cost to acquire (in order):
Tkachuk
Stutzle
Chabot
Norris
Pinto

Pinto and Zub to a lesser extent.
Pinto would do great here instead of being relegated to 3rd line on the Sens. Still think he would look great being on a line with Keller.
Love to get Brady here, but the Tkachuks sucks when it comes for a new contract and the ask from the Sens would be too much.
Norris, like Zub are questionable with their injuries. Chabot is overpaid and the Sens ain't trading Stutzle.
I'd like the idea of Crouse for Pinto... was gonna offer Hayton, but prefer to keep Barrett.

Whoever replaces Schmaltz wouldn't have any less goals. 1/4 of a season and your first line winger doesn't have a goal. Crouse 4 pts. on pace for 16pts. Kerfoot 5 pts. Bear has to send a big message to the team. AT has changed lines, tried to mix things up on the PP. Nothing is working.

I doubt very much any of those are available, and if they are we can't afford the cost.

Would love Norris, but like you, scared of his past injuries.

Just bring up every Roadrunner you can… yeah, that oughta do it!

Do you ever think about what you write?

Chatting with Sens fans the ask for Tkachuk was Iginla/Lamoureux + 1st + Crouse. So, too rich.

Sounds like the one they want to move is Norris but his contract is bad for a guy held together surgically.

 

[Schemp]

Crouse actually has more points than Pinto ATM.
Allows Greig to move to center while gaining another Ontario player.
I can see it being appealing to the Sens as they need to shake up things too.

 

[Jormungandr]

Tourigny doesn’t shuffle lines. He starts a game with a new set of lines, only to revert back to the same lines by the end of the game. Just look at the practice lines from today. Seem familiar?

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

With the Yutes stinking it up as of late, why not give the Tankathon wheel an early spin.

Nice but you know Pittsburgh will win. Need their next franchise player.

I don’t think Stutzle will move.

Tkachuk is possible but in the offseason. He’d be top of my list.

I like Norris if they will take one of our problems like Crouse. I assume Schmaltz won’t go there with his no-trade clause.

Very interested in Greig.

 

[LittlePipes]

Do you ever think about what you write?

At some point in the steep decline of Schmaltz and Crouse this season, benching one or both of them becomes a matter of principle. I’m with Jakey on this.

Crouse I can see, Schmaltz / Kerfoot, no.

LOB. He has as many goals, well rested, respected in the room.

Do you ever think about what you write? didn't think so.

 

[Jakey53]

Crouse I can see, Schmaltz / Kerfoot, no.

I wouldn't bench Kerfoot either, but I would Crouse or Schmaltz. I doubt Bear does bench any of the three. He will just bench Carcone and bring in LOB, or something like that.

Blues poached Montgomery
