Proposal: Rumours & Proposals Thread | Keep Nuge Forever

[ConnorMcMullet]

They have no cap space to re-sign him right now.

I'd offer something like JP + pick for Deangelo + Beleskey.

I think the Rangers would trade Buchnevich before DeAngelo. They seem really high on him.

 

[Cloned]

Beleskey is garbage, definitely have no room for him. I get what you're saying though

You take on Beleskey's cap hit to give the Rangers some more cap space.

 

[Skolman]

That was the rumour going around... that Lucic was "mean" to JP and yelled at him a lot.

Dustin Nielsen was on TSN1290 Winnipeg on friday, and dropped some nuggets like Lucic used to ride Jesse hard on the bench in between shifts...constatntly yelling at him.

Hahaha what? Yup, definitely missed this.

Tough call, Buchnevich is basically coming off a 20-20 year. Deangelo is coming off a 30 point year as essentially a rookie D.

They probably can only make moves to make space for one of them.

Agreed.

That is complete horse ****. If Looch did that he was far from a leader. When I hear stuff like this and Lucic's hate for Maroon, it makes me wonder if an unhappy Lucic kept the room in an uncomfortable and negative state?

Milan & Jesse

Kinda rich to be ripping on a kid when you're taking home $6 million dollars for 6 goals.

He seems like one of those alpha types who is really nice if you're one of his friends but really douchey if you're not.

It tells me Hitchcock was full of shit when talking about wanting to be the guy for Puljujarvi. If he was watching Lucic do this crap without any sort of talk, as the coach you are displaying how little you care about them.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Messier was an asshole to some teammates as well... but he could also back his actions up with his play on the ice.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Here's my roster after tinkering around a bit.

Draisaitl-McDavid-Kassian
Vanek-RNH-Neal
Nygard-Brassard-Chiasson
Khaira-Granlund-Archibald
Haas, Jurco

Klefbom-Ristolainen
Nurse-Russell
Jones-Benning
Persson

Koskinen
Smith

Trade: Gagner, Manning, Bear and a 2021 3rd to Ottawa for future considerations

Signings: Brassard $2.25 million X 2 years, Vanek $3 million X 1 year

Remaining cap space $1,454,667

That's my issue.

If Connor or Drai was all over JP for playing like s*** and not seeming to care, that's a different story.

The fact that Milan thinks he can rip on young players is rich, considering he has been a bum for the last couple years.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

No doubt about it, it comes across as someone that blames everyone but himself for his struggles. If this was the case it is a good thing that he's gone. It's one thing to suck relative to expectations and quite another to also drag others down with you,

He seems like one of those alpha types who is really nice if you're one of his friends but really *****ey if you're not.

If so that is not cool at all.

It tells me Hitchcock was full of **** when talking about wanting to be the guy for Puljujarvi. If he was watching Lucic do this crap without any sort of talk, as the coach you are displaying how little you care about them.

I think that the org went far and beyond what they should've to coddle Lucic and try to make things work for him here. Glad that won't be the case anymore.

Good he deserved it

this is often over looked and was the reason why some players got traded. But as you stated--he went on the ice and did everything

Trade Larsson for Ristolainen? Not a fan.

 

[booyakasha]

according to Georges Larauques,in an interview I remember listening to, Chris Pronger was a massive ***** in the dressing room as well.
only certain players of merit, i.e Ryan Smyth, were allowed to sit next to him and talk to him, every one else were peasants.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Tough call, Buchnevich is basically coming off a 20-20 year. Deangelo is coming off a 30 point year as essentially a rookie D.

They probably can only make moves to make space for one of them.

Agreed, I doubt they can keep both. I think it will be Buchnevich who gets traded because they've got the wings covered, especially with Kakko and Kravtsov coming in.

Or maybe they just get rid of Krieder and/or Shattenkirk.

Lucic also admitted he tried too hard to be the leader. It really felt like he regretted how he handled that role.

I bet he was trying tuff love..which says 2 things. He did it wrong but clearly JP was not doing things discussed, which many can see was the case.

 

[Panda Bear]

If Puljujarvi hated the locker room environment because of Lucic, whom he and his agent believed would never be moved, then it makes even more sense that he still wanted to leave the team despite a new coaching staff and general manager. (I'm guessing he just has bad feelings overall about his time in Edmonton and would like a fresh start to be happier.)

I once had the displeasure of playing on a competitive team for a few seasons with a couple of huge assholes. It was a huge relief when they left.

I have a feeling the 1st BOA, if Pulju comes back to us, mind....Looch is going to wallop him.

I dunno why but I find this hilarious.
