GDT: Rangers @ Wild - 8PM EST

[RGY]

Chytil f***ing sucks tonight. Guy needs to wake the f*** up.

 

[Kakko]

That looked offside

 

[Kords]

One of these days we'll play 2 good games in a row. One of these days...

 

[Crease]

Trade both Lundqvist and Georgiev and make Smith backup.

 

[Cmox]

35 games without a goal.

 

[Maximus]

What's Georgie complaining about?

He whiffed on that one. That's 2 stoppable goals thus far...argggg!

 

[Rempe73]

Oh. What deal did he turn down for Zucc?

Not sure, but he should have traded him during the off-season when Zucc had one more full year left. You’re telling me teams weren’t offering more than a 2nd and 3rd? That is, if Zucc was even put on the block. Don’t overcomplicate it. Such an hfboards thing.

 

[NYR]

Ok, well played.

 

[Machinehead]

Georgiev meltdown at 12 o'clock

 

[mike14]

Not sure, but he should have traded him during the off-season when Zucc had one more full year left. You’re telling me teams weren’t offering more than a 2nd and 3rd?

I dont know, which is why I dont make baseless speculation....

 

[Off Sides]

As good as Fox is that will always probably be an issue, Chytil too

 

[Crease]

I think Georgie's head is somewhere else and I don't blame him.

 

[Fitzy]

Confirmed Smith still sucks at defense.

 

[will1066]

Wth was that from Smith?

 

[Cmox]

Smith you buffoon

 

[Tob]

Just trade George for a 2nd and a 3rd at this point already. You can find 3rd liners in other places even if they're not 23.

 

[bl02]

They deserve to be losing after this first period. totally getting outmuscled and outworked

 

[Gardner McKay]

It could be a little bit of both, but look at what the Devils did with Hall or what the Wild did with Zucker. Great hauls for both selling teams. Gorton could have also gotten a lot more for Zucc if he didn’t wait so long.

I do wish people would stop presenting this as if it was fact.

As far as the other two are concerned, Hall is better than any player we have to offer and Zucker has 3 years left on his deal. Not to mention, the Wild have been trying to trade Zucker for over a year.

 

[effen]

How do you know what he's turned down?
He waits until the last second every year and you can set your clock to it.

You don't think every GM in the league doesn't know this by now?

Don't be so naive..

If they know he waits --> then they don't give their good offers till the end --> so he waits.

I feel like you didn't think that rebuttal through.

 

[ElLeetch]

35 games without a goal.

35 without a goal, another dude gets his 500th A, etc... we always seem to be the 'milestone' team.

Watch Ovi go on a drought and score is 700th against us

 

[Kovalev27]

Georgie looks like shit

 

[EdJovanovski]

What's Georgie complaining about?

He whiffed on that one. That's 2 stoppable goals thus far...argggg!

He’s learning from Hank

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Team playing like ass so far

 

[effen]

Not sure, but he should have traded him during the off-season when Zucc had one more full year left. You’re telling me teams weren’t offering more than a 2nd and 3rd? That is, if Zucc was even put on the block. Don’t overcomplicate it. Such an hfboards thing.

I don't think he got offers for Zucc in the offseason. See: Namestnikov, Vladimir.

It's an hfboards thing Gorton sat on his hands and turned down umpteen offers for Zucc that summer. Pure fantasy and wishcasting that the GM is dumb and we are so smart.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Georgie looks like ****

So no one will trade for him. perfect situation, since he does not have to be traded

 

[Rempe73]

I dont know, which is why I dont make baseless speculation....

Some people really can’t let anything go without overcomplicating it. I’m not saying Gorton is a bad GM. All I’m saying is that if Gorton put Zucc on the block in the off-season, he would have gotten some offers. Isn’t that common sense? But more likely than not, he wanted to wait things out.

 

[NYR]

If they know he waits --> then they don't give their good offers till the end --> so he waits.

I feel like you didn't think that rebuttal through.

No.. It's more like JG waits until the very last second and is forced to take whatever he's offered.
Kreider should've been traded last year...

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Stalock is not as good at puck handling as he thinks he is
