Speculation: Roster Building Thread - Part XXXV

[Thirty One]

Agreed here. But according to reports, Keenan HATED Gartner. Was probably too soft for him. Did we really need to give up Amonte for Stefan Matteau? That was the thing, Keenan was just like "don't give a shyt, just get me my men".

Maybe Messier didn't like Gartner either. He sure didn't like Zubov. What snowflakes the organization was! A lifetime indeed.

Keenan definitely hated Gartner. It wouldn't have worked. Gartner didn't have a reputation of being a playoff stallion, whether that's fair or not. He had never got to the third round in his career up to 1994. Made it with Toronto that year, they lost in 5 games to the Canucks, he had an assist. He also had another year on his contract that other teams didn't think was a great deal. According to Marry Meisel, not many teams wanted him.

 

[bleedblue94]

For sure, but some of the moves didn't have to be made to win 94. Keenan was a maniac.

absolutely no one knows that. no one knows if that team wins without that exact mix of players.

what we DO know is that the team won after all those deals and that is all I care about.

do people forget the shorthanded goal in game 2 for the 2-1 lead? do they forget the 2-1 goal in game 3? those are huge GREASY goals. I am in no way picking on gartner but he doesnt score either one of those...

 

[bleedblue94]

Oh how I miss this, I still get goosebumps!

 

[zlev]

Tikkanen for Weight in 1992-93 was awful.

yeah but that team wins nothing without Tikkanen. he was an animal. hounding the puck and insane in front of the net. he was the perfect playoff player back then.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Does Canada have their own version of Funyons?

They actually have these things called Ringolos, and they’re awesome!

 

[Paul Padovano]

Do we know who scored the gwg in game 7 of the SCF? Every time I watch it, it doesn't look like Messier's goal.

Probably Brian Noonan, also from the Matteau trade.

He actually scored a pretty big goal against the Canucks but it was waived off. It was a slap shot from just inside the blue line, the refs called off sides but it wasn't. I think it was game 5 but I'm not 100%.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Go get Gourde and Giordano, NOW!

It was absolutely Noonan's

Yea, it looked to me like a shot by Noonan that went off a Vancouver defense man.

As for Gartner, it's too bad he didn't get a ring that year. Anderson was okay, but really didn't do that much in the playoffs. He scored two big goals vs Vancouver though.

 

[Paul Padovano]

It was absolutely Noonan's

Those were the days. Not a care in the world back then. Anyway, hopefully we'll get to see another one in the next few years.

if we could get Giordano for a 2nd that would be a great pickup.

I remember teams always picking him up for the playoffs in the 90s. I think he was traded 5 or 6 times in a 6 year span at one point.

Noonan

 

[17futurecap]

Just trade him then if he is a problem. They have five back to backs left only, and really only one of them( @TB at Carolina) is tough.

The team isn’t going anywhere if Igor goes down anyways

Wait what? Lol

 

[RGY]

We have a Georgiev problem.

 

[JMan74]

Pavelski and JT Miller. To me, Best 2 targets out there. JT Miller gives you a guy you can keep for 2 seasons relatively cost controlled especially if you get him at 25% retention and sweeten the deal going back a little.

 

[n8]

Go get Gourde Giordano and Miller(50% cap)

Empty the cupboard: chytil Kravtsov Robertson Lundkvist Jones Othmann Barron our 2022 first and 2023 second all on the table to do it.

No to cupboard explosion. I think there is enough to spend a little but what you are talking about is giving me post 1994 Neil Smith PTSD
Are you gonna sign Malkin, Letang, Bergeron, and Giordano in the summer too at the cost of losing all our young players (won't be enough money to resign them let alone make QOs + there will be no ice time left for them to develop)?
Gourde has a $5.17M cap hit @ 6 years WITH a full no trade clause so good luck with getting him.

So lucky.

Wait what? Lol

She confirmed it today to the Post
