Around the League 2 - Tank command central

[nobuddy]

Sekera to Tampa for 1st+ sounds like the literal ideal scenario.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

i had the realization the other day that there is a 75% chance of us not trading sekera and then losing him in free agency.

i still think this will happen.

The Ray Whitney

I'm hoping for the Joe Corvo

Maybe it's too late, but Edmonton showed some heart and came back from a 4-2 deficit to beat the Caps in Washington, 5-4 in a shootout.

The Buffalos need to start winning a few now.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Parise's game-tying goal last night was a beaut. Knocks a clearing attempt out of the air with his stick and puts it in the net.

[NHL]2014020687-488-h[/NHL]

That team is night and day with him in the lineup.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

remember that time we were going to sign parise and suter?

Ray Whitney retires

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Whitney left some great memories in Carolina. The set-up for Sutter's goal against Boston was one that stands out. As was his natural hattrick in less than two minutes.

And unless I'm mistaken, he had a big part in both playoff runs. 06 speaks for itself, but I believe he was on the ice for Staal's Game 7 goal against the Devils and he set up Walker for the OT Game 7 goal against Boston.

 

[RodTheBawd]

And he video bombed (is that a thing?) every Tripp pregame interview, which made me laugh every time.

Well...he took the weak-ish shot that Thomas kicked right to Walker and therefore got the assist. Could have been his intention I suppose.

lots of people tried to sign both of them, but they decided to go back home to werewolf country for some reason.

He and Walker apparently talked about it a couple shifts before. They had an earlier rush in OT that Whitney tried to pass to Walker, but it was intercepted by the D. Walker told Whitney that if they had another opportunity, just put the puck on the net.

Communication between veteran players.

Mike Richards on waivers. Too bad the Canes aren't in a position to claim him, he has a nice declining salary contest (6, 5.5, 4.5, 3, 3)

I wonder if we actually might be. Gritty veteran cup winner to learn all the youngin's about "Compete Level"

Except that he's been, you know terrible for two years.

 

[DaveG]

Albatross contract gonna albatross contract.

Dude's been pretty mediocre the past few years anyway. Could see Edmonton or the Devils snagging him though.

Nah man, he has Toronto written all over him.

 

[GoldiFox]

He certainly hasn't been good, is why he is on waivers.

On a sad note, Richards terrible year last year (41 pts in 82 games) would be the 2nd highest scoring pace forward on the Canes this year. Ahead of Skinner and Lindholm.

 

[Wolfpuck]

I don't see anyone claiming him. If he is moved, it would be via a trade, and the Kings would be taking on another bad contract in return and/or giving up draft picks and prospects.

It sucks to see such a #gritty hard working guy wear down so fast. He's only 29 and has already fallen off the cliff.

 

[Francis10]

Kings take our bad contract in Semin and we take their bad contract in Richards? At least Richards gives a F when he plays.

 

[What the Faulk]

This would be a horrible idea.

I'd take a stab at at Richards if he had 2x3 left on his deal. Maybe. As it stands, no thank you.

But your Ok with Paying Semin $7M to do nothing and bring the team down with his attitude?

We don't need Richards, I am hoping we finish last overall to tell you the truth for McDavid.

This is just more my personal vendetta against Semin and how useless he is. What a waste of skill.....

Well, yeah.

Richards' deal goes two years longer than Semin's. He's barely a 4th liner right now. Where do you think he'll be in 2020 when he's 34?

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Richards has well documented issues with his conditioning. But he's a good Canadian boy so that doesn't matter, right?
