Out of Town Thread - New Year’s 2025 Edition

[habbubba]

Sounds like Olivier is going to sign. Greenway might be another option this summer. He's UFA also. Solid defensively with size/ physical. I imagine around same price range. He's probably better than he looks once you get him out of Buffalo

Greenway gets injured every season.

Pronger is from Dryden, ON so yeah, snow & ice for 6 months of the year. When he played, he had a cottage up there.

Damn was not expecting NYR to outshoot Toronto 14-5 after 1. Despite the shot advantages, it's tied 1-1.

On Kyper yesterday they seemed convinced Schenn coming to Toronto for Cowan and a first pick. Sammy commented do it. Said people fall in love with their prospects and over rate them. they rarely live up to expectations. Said he didn't want to give up Robertson couple years back for Sam Bennett.

Rags lose so we’re one point still behind them at same games played.

Nashville is a mess. Was McDonagh this important to the team?!?!

And their selloff continues.
They've picked their direction it seems.

IMO Cowan and a 2026 1st is too much for Schenn.

 

[BozoTheClown]

Too bad we didn’t pick Adam Boqvist of waivers.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

An obvious 5 minute penatly on the noted scum Verhaege. Of course it's a favored team versus a non entity so 2 minutes. Xhekaj would have got 10 game for that.

Washington seems to be falling back down to earth a bit. 4-3-3 in last 10 & have lost 3 consecutive games.

A 35 years old and done Nyquist got a 2nd, if we can't get a 1st for Evans, I will riot.

Nyquist got 75 points last year and scored 23 goals he is a much better offensive player than Evans

This year, he's 35 years old and on a pace for 30 points.

Track records matter for GMs and Nyquist has been a decent offensive player during his career. While Evans doesn't have the same offensive output. I think Evans can get a 2nd round pick but I'm not sure he will get a 1st.

FLA outshooting CGY 20-7 5 mins into the 2nd period. Free fall is on in YYC

When a player is 35 only his last season or 2 should matter. Especially his current season.

I was about to post this, beat me to it.

Just fig wetting

It's easy to forget that they were treading water last year too until they went on an aboslute tear in the 2nd half of the season.

Management decided the 2nd half was more representative of who they are than the first half and added expensive peices to go for it.

Turns out the 1st half was more telling who they really were.

This was a miscalculation by management. On that note, who thought it would be a good idea to hire a career coach to be a GM? You just never see that anymore.

I hear Seth Jones has been traded to the Panthers

 

[the valiant effort]

Hawks with another fleecing!!!
