Around the NHL 2015-16, Part II

[SpookyTsuki]

Lol Matthews gonna bust now

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Matthews, Marner, Nylander, and Rielly is an incredible core. Look what happened when Toronto got an actual smart braintrust for the first time in over a decade.

****.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

*puts on tinfoil hat*

The leafs only won because the nhl rigged it. Why did they rig it u ask? They complained they didn't get anything for the year 100. So they gave them the 1st overall

 

[ZDH]

At least edm didn't win

****.

One of them won't be good. One of the forwards

 

[ZDH]

I'll take that bet. All 3 are going to be studs.

No kidding, Marner and Nylander were top 10 prospects this year, with Marner on the higher end of that list. Matthews might be better than Eichel.

Throw in Stamkos potentially, and you have a gross group coming together the next couple of seasons.

 

[Outl4w]

Matthews will be a REALGUD center for Babcock. He loves those big centers.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Babs is quickly getting over the one year of bad hockey.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

****.

Think this is huge for Nylander, I like him riding shotgun with Matthews. I don't like him as a center long-term.

 

[sarcastro]

Edmonton is probably better off at 4. Now they can take the defenseman they need rather than drafting another forward to play in their lopsided org.

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Awwwww biscuits... This probably effects the whole Stamkos UFA thing. He's probably more likely to sign with the Leafs now if he doesn't go with Tampa...

Wanted wpg to win that one so bad, ****

Me too. Wanted Matthews to stay outta the east. Plus I like the Jets (how can you hate the Jets?). Oh well, bring it on.

Edmonton doesn't win the lottery! Woo!!

At least edm didn't win

I was hoping for Edmonton to win the lottery, just because it'd be funny to watch people's heads explode.

 

[irishock]

A couple of Caps fans I talked to in late March preferred to face Pittsburgh in round 1 rather than NYI or Philly because the Pens were "soft".

Lmao

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Suffice to say they have a lot of opportunities to experiment. Marner or Nylander could both be NHL centers, but maybe they don't have to be, Stamkos or not.

Lots of discussion on the trade forum around a deal involving the 4th overall pick and Travis Hamonic.

Some people just wanna watch the world burn.

Absolutely. Although at 4 they probably miss out on Pulujarvi. Watch Winnipeg take him. Regardless the Oil should either take a d-man there or trade down and take a d-man with a lower pick.

It should not be understated that Laine-Connor-Ehlers has incredible potential as well. In general, the Jets young players and prospect pool is absolutely incredible.

I under Laine is the consensus number 2 and some like him more than Matthews, and Pulujarvi seems definitively to be the 3 guy, but I really appreciate Pulujarvi's game a lot.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Capitals and their five SOG after 32 minutes.

Sooo good.

I could see that

 

[irishock]

Pitts completely dominating but if anyone can steal a series, it's Holtby.

 

[HisNoodliness]

That's what makes Washington so scary to me. They can dominate you but also win while getting dominated. They win the games they should but also many of the ones they shouldn't.

 

[Red Stanley]

It would be hilarious if the Penguins dominated the whole series and got swept. I would laugh. A lot.

 

[irishock]

The Caps winning that game would've been disgusting tbh

i really hope they do

i think mcdavid is one of the top 10 best players in the NHL and want to see him achieve success(team not just personal) and therefore want to see edmonton climb out of the shadows

i could see the oilers trading down and pick up a dman and a later 1st rd pick, not convinced its hamonic either....

toronto would be smarter not signing stamkos but sucking for one more year and grabbing another top 3 pick in 2017(nolan patrick)

they still need to hit on another dman but damn the leafs would be fantastic for 10 years or more if they do

Liljegren is shaping up to be something special. IF the Leafs were to end up with Liljegren, Rielly, Matthews, Nylander, and Marner I would just trade them Mrazek. Cause damn thats as solid as a core as you could hope for.
