HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: Off-Season Edition

[MXD]

I don't get the fuss over Zadorov.
He seems to be a SUPER great guy. A great person. I'd love to have him as a solid RHS 2nd with the right partner or 3rd pairing guy. Having him on the ice with Xhekaj would be SUPER entertaining (not that sure about efficiency however).
But, realistically, he's a #4-5 that's gonna cost quite a bit in terms of assets to acquire and who's paid like a #2-3.

Hard to blame him when you look at the contract Gavrikov just got though. I don't think he's great but he's probably playing the best hockey of his career right now and playing on the 3rd pair on a bad team could potentially cost him life-changing money.

... It probably helps him look better than he is.

If the right offer comes along, definitely an option to look at. And before people freak out, I am not saying trade them at all cost. However if the right offer comes along, we should do it.
For example if a team offers a grade A forward prospect (with PPG potential) for Guhle, I would do in a heartbeat.

Not yet.

 

[the valiant effort]

A few minutes ago I randomly stumbled on the Under 17 gold medal overtime between Canada “white” and the USA. Canada won.

Apparently Canada is down to just two teams in this tournament? From 5 regional teams back in the day down to 2 split squads. Brutal state of affairs.

Gotta respect how dadonov works just hard enough to scam teams into giving him multi year contracts then is like ok I'm done and becomes shit.

 

[Nashy]

Canucks have 6 PP's to Leafs 1.....and it's 2-2.

Ovechkin back on the board with #825

How are the oilers so garbage this year??

How are the oilers so garbage this year??

Zero concept of team defense for a long while now and this season their offense is sputtering shining a light on their defensive & G shortcomings

 

[morhilane]

How are the oilers so garbage this year??

They always were, McDavid/Draisailt were just outscoring their problems but they aren't this year so...

How are the oilers so garbage this year??

The post season last year when a half decent tender gets them a cup and they don't pull the strings to make it happen.

Hyman with a natural hattrick in the 1st period against the Kraken

4-0 after one.

 

[Rapala]

So we have 3 games before seeing Boston again who play 1. Great balanced schedule making rears it's head again.

 

[The Great Weal]

Man Zegras has been brutal for the Ducks so far. Luckily the young studs Carlsson, McTavish and Mintyukov are killing it for them.

 

[NotProkofievian]

How many goals is this Arttu Kärki guy gonna score in the OHL? He's already at 14 goals in 18 games.

So Toronto pretty much.

Same w Kent Johnson in CBJ - need to play hockey the right way including 200ft game.

NHL is not an All Star game skills competition festival

Watched the Ottawa hi-lites, man oh man were they firing the passes around on their goals. Nice to watch.

The NHL wants it to be a skills competition


I thought Dangle stopped doing leaf fan reaction to focus on something else, but his video about last night's game popped up on my YouTube

 

[HuGort]

That Leo Carlsson is pretty good eh?

Doing better than I thought

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[Tyson]

Ken Holland gets a pass. This wasn't on the coach, it's on the GM for having substandard goaltending in place.

Doing better than I thought

Now I see why Anaheim took him over Fantilli.

 

[morhilane]

Everyone was sure he was gone after the lost against SJ, but nope they just waited once he was back home and coached one last game regardless of the result.

Holland is getting closer to the end of his rope. It is very unlikely his team will magically start to play better defensively if Woodcroft didn't manage to get them to buy into it nor any player upgrade.
