Devastating loss. Here's hoping he can make a full recovery and still has an NHL career to come back to.

Also, this is just salt in the wound of how immature Krav turned out to be. Just a rough situation all around.

We went from having way too much depth on wing last year, to feeling a bit light on the right side now. I do think the team is deep enough to weather this storm as is, but I also think they should ideally be shopping for a decent rental from here on out on the right side.

Big opportunity for Chytil as he well elevate due to this and Gauthier, Barron
 
Man what does Barron have to do? How is Greg McKegg (stupid rhyming name) picked over him continuously?

I'd get it if McKegg was a legit NHL'er not a tweener. I guess they want Barron to get top 6 minutes in the AHL?
 
I mean, no offense, I know we can crap on Krav (and some of it is definitely justified), but Barron has done everything this organization has asked as far as going down and proving you deserve a shot and we still choose that black hole mckegg. You can almost understand where Krav was coming from. This is ridiculous.
 
The whole "Kravy is an entitled baby" discourse is just as annoying to read about as anything Jovo posts about him. If you believe that about the kid, it's just you're opinion, not a fact and I can promise you we're all well aware about how people feel about it at this point.

I stated my opinion on it back when it happened and moved on, people really need to take a cue around here.

I hope Barron requests a trade next. In other organizations he would be on the NHL roster.
 
No he isn’t dumber for catering to an entitled kid. In fact this is a pretty dumb take on things.
Yeah because trading away our only proven top 6 RW just to dump our 9th overall pick who has showed that he belonged in the NHL for Hajek who sucks ass is super idiotic.

Especially when the kid is someone who belongs in the NHL and that has his hometeam awaiting him with open arms.

Kravtsov is a spoiled kid, agreed. But you gotta handle that smoother knowing how he is as a person. Knowing that your RW depth is bad with Kravtsov, how can you risk making it worse is beyond me.
 
The time has come
Lets see what Chytil can do at RW where he's played his best in the past
And Gauth also gets to stay in the line-up
If they both play well then we r fine at RW and we can move the discussion back to needing a Center

Krei zib chy
Pan stro kak
Laf good gauth

His 25% CF isn’t helping.
 
Can't wait for Subban to retire and become the head of Department of Player Safety in 5 years... along with well respected Matt Cooke.

First of all, I wish Blais a full recovery.

Secondly; Subban can't play anymore, so he resorts to that garbage. The NHL Player Safety Department is a joke as we all know. This is why you don't have a goon running it. Knowing the NHL and its warped sense of humour, it wouldn't surprise me if Subban/Cooke do become the head of Player Safety at some point down the road. The league and the people involved in running it are a joke.

They think people want to see mucking/grinding, a slogfest and players being cross checked into the boards. They should be running the WWE.

Subban is a career ender player. This guy should get suspended and made an example of. There has been enough damage done by this clown. I really hope he gets crushed non stop next game
 
10-12 month recovery, assuming no lingering affects (which almost always there are). This one hurts.
 
Man Blais was just finding his niche with us. This is a real shame.
That piece of garbage Subban deserves to have his clock cleaned.
Hopefully Sammy can work hard and be ready for next season. I wouldn’t rush him back if we make the playoffs.
