Around The League - 15-16 Part IV

[puck stoppa]

Is he? I will have to look into him in a bit more detail then.

Think Tyler Jonson the second

So .... contrary to earlier reports it appears that it is possible to make trades, even real hockey trades.

Come on Chevy.

The Jets game last night forced the trade. The Preds need forward scoring.

We really don't Hall around the youth of the team.

agree - edm can have him

 

[jetsforever]

So today the all-star jerseys came out, all-star rosters came out, a smallish (but still significant) trade happened, a former star rejoined the league and a blockbuster happened. This is awesome.

Seems weird they would pressure him to retire but makes sense. Presumably he will get more playing time or else he would've just stayed in Philadelphia for more money/years.

I don't see why the Kings needed Lecavalier.

They better hope he keeps his word and retires.

Hope he decides not to retire and saddles them with his contract after the fiasco with getting out of Richards' contract. That would be karma.

I swear that game against you guys last night was a part of Poile pulling the trigger on the trade today. Thanks.

 

[CorgisPer60]

How do preds get guys like Neal and ryjo? We should do trouba for rnh

No. Not Nuge. I want Eberle. We need some top end winger talent to make up for Ladd not re-signing with the Jets.

I don't want to help a team get better.

No way I would consider sending a top young defenseman for Eberle.

Which is why I suggested that we trade Trouba for Eberle? I'm only at the part where I said I wanted Eberle, not Nuge or Hall.

Thank Shane Doan. If he doesn't go full Caterpillar Construction over Pavelec, Hellebuyck is stopping pucks against the Lake Erie Monsters, and you guys likely win last night 4-2.

I don't think I'd want Eberle. We have plenty of potential top end wingers in the org. Ehlers, Connor, Roslovic, Armia among some other guys. What we need is a Top end two-way center IMO. Or a franchise defencemen.

If we have a winger capable of stepping into Ladd's shoes next season, I'm all over that. We have our depth of C right now, and I'm sorry, but Nuge is not a C you build around. I'd much rather want Draisaitl than him. Oh man, I think I would do a Trouba for Draisaitl trade. Not right now, though. Wait until after the contract extension and see how Drai does in his second season in the NHL.

Why? You keep saying he has character issues, but can you actually prove that?

I personally don't think we need anyone to step into Ladd's shoes next season. Ehlers will have a full year of experience under his belt and may be ready for top 6 time full-time. Armia may be a mainstay in our bottom 6 and I imagine a few other guys will get a look as we go into a bit of a mini-rebuild. If we get lucky we get a top 4 pick and add another prospect to the pool. 2 of which may be NHL ready (Matthews, Chych) and 2 others that can at the very least join the Moose next season (Pulju, Laine). Hopefully Chevy goes hard on the NCAA guys (Connor, Roslovic, Appleton) and the Moose will be absolutely stacked! Woo! But I have doubts that least part happens.
I do love Draisaitl though. Would definitely think about that one.
