I don't get all of the smoke about Dallas.

Seguin is a depth player for them at this point. They're not exactly in scramble mode.

They're also not a good trade partner. They wouldn't move anything I'm particularly interested in. It's bananas that people are suggesting Wyatt Johnston. The only piece we have that returns Wyatt Johnston is Adam Fox, and obviously f***ing not.

The only move I could kind of see is Kreider for Bourque, but there's moves I could kind of see with every team in the league. Dallas isn't particularly on the front-burner because like their 9th best forward got hurt.

It would be like Reilly Smith getting hurt and the Rangers trading Cuylle to replace him.

Well u know how much i want to trade kreider! Haha! So i was kinda hoping.

Edit: and not for nothing he only plays one minute less than kreider yet has 10 more points. So yeah, Kreider would be a downgrade for them

Byfield isn’t really a center.

They shifted him back there this year and he’s really struggled with it.

He’s someone this place and fan base would hate immediately too.

I'll take the 6'5 skilled player learning to play center at the NHL level though. Hell, if Kakko can play center, stick Byfield on his wing.

I won't repeat some of the stuff my friend heard, I shared the "tame" stuff being hurled at him.

Yeah, we can bitch and moan here, but don't bother people when they know they're not playing well and hurl personal insults at them.

It should be confined to the rink. Harassing these people in public unless they’re a blatant douche just makes you an ass hole.

Marek Malik committed the worst sin possible amongst hockey fans. Worse than being a sexual predator or a racist or a murderer or locker room cancer or an objectively awful player or any number of terrible things.

Malik was large but wasn’t physical lmao

And just efficiently moved the puck in the right direction. He would be an analytics darling today

Honestly, even harassing or heckling at the rink is cringe to me. You can boo the team, but I'm never about singling any one player out unless they REALLY deserve it, like being an absolute total f***ing asshole outside of hockey, or on the other team

Seguin was a point per game player for them this year. I think Trouba makes more sense for them though, they've got nothing but crap on the right side. I thought i saw somewhere too that Trouba preferred Colorado or Dallas as a destination.
Click to expand...
If they're interested in Trouba, that's one thing, because I'm not expecting anything back for him anyway.

It just seems like there's a lot of noise about replacing Seguin. I know he's off to a good start, but he's not that big of a deal in that lineup anymore.

The pieces I'd want from Dallas are Johnston and Harley. In other news, I'd want MacKinnon from Colorado.

He’s 3rd on the Stars in scoring and over a point per game this year. Him going on LTIR for the rest of the season also means they can go over the cap by a pretty hefty amount, a la Vegas with Stone, and considering how close they have also been a few times without getting there, they’d be foolish not to use all of that LTIR cap space and let Seguin rest until the playoffs.

Yep. Leave your displeasure in the venue designed for it. You wouldn't publicly yell at a hairdresser at the bar who messed up your hair earlier, or a high school teacher you didn't like. Let people have a work life and a non-work life.

How are you trading for Tkachuk without giving up Miller and unloading Zibanejad? Show your work.
 
Igor and Miller's representation putting it out there that they want to get paid, when the team is sputtering annoys the shit out of me. Not for nothing but Lafreniere took a discount. Seems like the locker room has some guys who want to get paid and some guys who want to win games. Business decisions being made? Not good for the locker room when you're captain is already checked out.

No, this is different because it personally affected you. Just saying.
 
K'Andre for Byfield would be grand. I don't think LA has soured on him so I don't think Miller is enough to get that deal done. I don't think adding Sykora would be enough. It might have to be Othmann + Miller if you want to get that deal done. Unless unless LA really wants to get Byfield's cap space back.

He’s 4th in ice time for forwards on dallas. That seems to be a bigger deal than you are making it.

To be fair, so would the argument that you followed the hairdresser into a bar because she ruined your hair.
Click to expand...

Maybe I was followed by the hairdresser into the bar. Maybe I was there to drink away my Juusi Saros with bad hair, and the hairdresser coincidentally went there too.

The prostitution rests, your honor.

Vince with an actually interesting nugget that K'Andre has the same agent as Goodrow and they plan to "not do Drury any favors" in the summer for his new contract. Given the circumstances of the season, is that really something Miller wants out there? Tone deaf.

Im not really in the "trade the youth" camp but Im intrigued by what kind of defensive upgrade we can get in a Miller+Kakko package.

Thank you Miller! This is the level of petty I'm here for!
