Trade and Free Agency - 2024-25

I'm not sure that's true. Khusnutdinov was just pretty ineffective, Brazeau is a straight up liability most of the time.

Khusnutdinov was absolutely a liability for us.

 

[AKL]

Khusnutdinov was absolutely a liability for us.

I know you're gonna point to the PK% but I don't believe he was a liability other than the fact that he didn't really do much when he was on the ice. He was at least capable of making passes and holding on to the puck, much more than Brazeau is.

Brazeau is legitimately awful, he shouldn't be playing in the NHL, he doesn't have the skill.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Nah , Khus scored a sweet break away goal. It’s because he has + speed in the nhl. Brazoeu has not one single nhl quality. He’s literally garbage and will not be in the nhl next year. I hope you choose to die on this Pejorative Slured hill , it suits you

LMAO, hold onto that goal from a month ago.

Description that is accurate for Khusnutdinov too.

Nah, not to the same degree as Brazeau.

Think what you want, it's not my job to change your mind. Both are trash can players that shouldn't be on the team.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Unless they were going to make Khusnutdinov a winger, meh.

Khus is a great skater and he was a rookie and young. You’re little Brazooo is a lumbering pylon and that’s being kind. He can barely make it from one end of the rink to the other. It’s some kind of miracle he ever made it anywhere playing hockey. He is less skilled at actual hockey than any player I’ve ever seen suit up for this team.

That was certainly an option , he could fly

I hate both players.

You, on the other hand, feel like you're about to have one of your Fiala discussion meltdowns over Khusnutdinov lol. At least when you had them about Fiala your point was arguable. For Khusnutdinov? That's just sad...

 

[MNRube]

Rantanen could have been traded to 23 teams without his permission. Kaprizov can be traded to zero without his

Frig. Of course he has a NMC.

I was 100% fine with moving Khus , moving him and Lauko and a 6th for Brazeau is just the most idiotic thing you can dream up.


Moving Khus for future considerations , moving Lauko for future considerations and then giving our 6th to someone for future considerations would have been a better move.

Ya, when i saw that I just felt sad. Guerin does foolish things.

Giving superstars a NMC is foolish? Superstars get a NMC almost every contract they sign.

Now if we are talking about Hartman, Foligno, etc, that is a different story.

Decent odds Freddy is 4c next year.

 

[f7ben]

Decent odds Freddy is 4c next year.

Like most everyone here has said , Freddy passed the eye test this year and provided fine value for his contract. That’s a great development as he sure didn’t last year.

 

[DANOZ28]

opportunity knocks! panarin just had some legal troubles and nyr may want to part ways. IF they would retain 6 mill for last year of contract could be perfect fit for kaprizov.

Sheesh what a creep.

Yeah....no. Don't want him near this club. Sounds like a creep.

I love taking advantage of short-term noise, being brave when others are scared, but SA is far from short-term noise. I appreciate your efforts to find diamonds, but this one's a blood diamond.

 

[Saga of the Elk]

Sticking to saints might mean teams playing at 3 on 3. And only two teams. No goalies, obviously.

Is this in response to people not wanting Panarin on the Wild, or something else?

If it's the former, there's a voluminous cavern between a man who assaults women and sainthood, and the vast majority of Earth falls within it. I think we can find enough people to ice a couple of teams in there. If it's the latter, you have my apologies for my clueless response and I'll move on.

 

[f7ben]

Just read the Panarin stuff , I’m not able to generate any outrage over that story at all. It hardly rises to the level of what I’d consider sexual assault. The woman willingly went to his hotel room. “Pinned her down on the bed forcefully” yet she was able to grab her phone and extricate herself without much issue. Whole thing sounds like bullshit to me that the ownership group and Panarin paid likely a small amount to make disappear.

 

[f7ben]

Also not blaming the “victim” and it’s totally possible Panarin is a creep. Just saying I’m not willing to hang the man over this incident with the details that are currently public

I'm kind of in the same boat with it. He said/she said situation. We have no idea what happened beyond the league and the rangers felt their wasn't enough in the independent law firms investigation to take action. An an undisclosed sum of money was paid to make it go away. The accusation details usually come from the accuser, who try to paint things in the worst possible light because it's to their benefit.

Maybe it happened exactly as laid out. Maybe she was caught on the player floor and had to have an excuse why she was there.

I don't know, but my gut says given the blackhawks situation, I absolutely think the league would have nuked Paanarin from orbit if there was any evidence of substance.
