GDT: G2: Wild at TOR 6pm CT (BSN)

[TaLoN]

I didn't watch the game, looks like he has an assist

He's been a complete turnover machine

 

[Jbcraig1883]

[Meme】 is this...... sarcasm?

Yes. He's been Charmin soft and not doing anything out there except turning it over.

 

[NHL1674]

Rossi limping to the bench... good Lord

We should have benched him after the 7th goal.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Get horribly outplayed, win 3-0. Play an even game, lose 7-4.

Them's the breaks.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Good game from Toronto. Matthews is a good one, he'd look good in a Wild sweater.

Good game from Toronto. Matthews is a good one, he'd look good in a Wild sweater.

Not as good as Kaprizov apparently

 

[NHL1674]

May the force be with you in Montreal, Flower. Unless we can clone Faber and Brodin.

 

[Sweetnut]

Faber + 3 in a game like this. He is only going to get better

 

[Wasted Talent]

May the force be with you in Montreal, Flower. Unless we can clone Faber and Brodin.

Even Brodin had a bit of a rough one today.

Can we clone Faber twice?

 

[Sweetnut]

I didn't watch the game, looks like he has an assist

So did Foligno. Your point is...?

 

[f7ben]

Hopefully Kaprizov looked across the ice at what a 13 million dollar player does. He hasn’t looked worth any more than the plugs at this point this year.

 

[GordieGallant]

Top line was horrible.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Even Brodin had a bit of a rough one today.

Faber brodin
Faber brodin
Faber ugh middleton I guess?

Yikes. Need Spurgeon back and turn back time to find a way to extend dumba

 

[AKL]

This is genuinely one of the most frustrating teams I've ever followed. The GM and coach have the weirdest priorities. There's absolutely no consistency from one game to the next. You can't even get a consistent effort through a whole game. The locker room they keep harping on seems to provide no tangible benefits on the ice. They're capable of having really good games, but it's hit or miss.

I wanna see what the kids look like when the vets clearly suck (looking at you Zuccarello, Foligno, Goligoski, Merrill, Middleton, Johansson), but we can't even do that because there's not even enough cap space to bring up an ELC player.

Gonna be another long season with stretches of brilliance and stretches of the worst hockey you've ever seen.

I only really counted one shift.

We needed to keep Dumba and move Foligno and Zucc.

 

[Wasted Talent]

True, but still somewhat uncharacteristic for Brodin

 

[AKL]

We needed to keep Dumba and move Foligno and Zucc.

I don't think keeping Dumba was really the answer. It was time to move on.

But it was also time to move on from Foligno and Zuccarello. And it was not time to move on from Fiala, as good as Faber has been.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Gus still .919 lol

Lol. I don't follow the money side of things that closely.... are we seriously that short on cap we can't call up a kid on an ELC from IA right now?

That is absolute bananas

Agree with everything but Fiala. I suddenly find myself on the fence extremely intrigued by Faber.

There's about 50k cap space

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Correct. We have $52k in cap space. Best we could do is swap Mermis with somebody making a similar amount.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

I've crossed that fence. I'm happy with a straight Faber / Fiala trade. Ohgren is just the cherry on top.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love Fiala on the team right now. But I think Faber is going to be an absolute grand slam

 

[AKL]

If we sent down Mermis we'd have about 825k in cap space, which wouldn't be enough to call up any of the guys you'd actually wanna see. Beckman, Walker, Lambos, Spacek, O'Rourke, Hunt all make more than that. The best we would be able to do is Khaira, Lettieri, Swaney?

Agree with everything but Fiala. I suddenly find myself on the fence extremely intrigued by Faber.

It worked out (to the greatest extent that it could so far), but it doesn't mean it was the right decision at the time.

Not gonna harp on it anymore than I have to though. Faber's a good one, should be an anchor on the D for a long time now. I'm more focused on the trend of moving on from guys like Fiala but committing to guys like Foligno and Zuccarello, moreso than the actual Fiala for Faber trade itself.
