Looks like Picks is getting the start

Probably best to not risk Varlamov getting injured, thus killing any trade that would happen in the off-season

 

[UncleRisto]

What are our lines?

I'm thinking it already happened. Varly+JTC for Sam Bennett

Why would Calgary want JTC when he is going to be a Hawk soon enough?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

What are our lines?

You tell us Mr. GDT!!

Saw this on twitter:

Grigorenko DontCelebrate Boedker
Landeskog Soderberg Comeau
Matthias Malkin Iginla
Skille Agz McLeod

Holden EJ
Beauch Barrie
Zads Redmond

Picks

Because that's a secret. Only us and Chicago know.
It's sad because I think he actually ends up there

Bigras scratched again? Hopefully that is not true but it makes no sense now that we are out of it. Give him the minutes and get him more experience this year.

 

[IndustryLeech]

Please forgive my ignorance, but who is JTC?

JT Compher.
he's pretty much a Blackhawk/

Noooooooo! Don't know if there's a thread for this...or if I'm being rused. Is he rumored to be traded for realsies?

I'm just being a jackass.

He hasn't signed an elc yet and if he doesn't by next summer he can sign anywhere he wants. Still A LOT of time to get a contract done but he's from Illinois and his best friend and linemate just signed with the Hawks so we're all overreacting as we do with everything in life.

Cool. I like Compher. We're gonna need a team ginger when MacLeod retires.

Is Bigras really not playing? Because that would be really, really dumb with the season over. I haven't seen any official lineup though, so it might just be speculation.

It was from JJ. To be fair at the end of those lines he also tweeted "looks like 3-22-27 scratch" so he put Redmond in there twice.

Finally Roy scratched himself.

Morning skate lines and pairing from Dallas y'all:
25-9-89
92-34-15
18-7-12
8-28-55
6-2
32-4
16-22
guessing but looks like 3-22-27 scratch

Yeah, he got Comeau's number wrong and listed Redmond twice. Hopefully he meant that Bigras is with Zads but he may have meant Bodnarchuck instead of the second Redmond scratched.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Yeah I'm thinking Bods (not Boeds) is one of the 22's.

I'm purely joking... I'm 99% sure JTC will sign with the Avs.

This year or next?

 

[henchman21]

Between both, but I think we see him sign soon. There isn't much for him to go back for besides his degree now. Michigan isn't going to compete for a national title with just Connor and Compher.

 

[Former Ladder]

Bigras' scratch was finally given some reason. This makes me feel better about the situation because he should be playing if he can.

Scratch report. Colorado's scratches against the Stars were Andreas Martinsen, Chris Bigras and Andrew Bodnarchuk. Bigras was listed as a healthy scratch at Nashville on Tuesday, but coach Patrick Roy said he has a minor foot injury.

"He hurt his foot and he's not comfortable, and we won't push on that," Roy said. "It's only two games left and we want to be smart with this."

Why do they bury real news at the end of an article about something completely different and they add it at later times too? Do they expect people to keep refreshing the same articles looking for news? Wouldn't "why isn't Bigras playing, read here" lead to more clicks? I dont get it. I don't think it's on the writers either. Anyway, yes it's good he wasn't just sat.

 

[JLo217]

Can't say I disagree with anything in here...
