Just for fun...

"Snow has some of the most coveted assets stockpiled, and he seems primed to use them to help this team get over the hump. More than anything, he needs a big-time defenseman, preferably a right-handed shot. Wonder if Dorion has one of those?
Listen, it takes a lot to move a player like Erik Karlsson. But a lot starts with a situation like this one, where Karlsson first says something that makes it clear he is thinking of elsewhere as a real possibility, even as he has one more year after this one left on his deal that carries an incredibly modest $6.5 million annual cap hit."

Cyrgalis think JHS has value when we are talking EK? Really?

Pens wouldn't trade with Isles, too bad we didn't get Vatanen. Nelson + for him.

 

[IslesFanatic]

Isles need depth forward help too. Bottom 6 are AWFUL.

Think Anaheim did good there, Henrique has been playing well.

Does this CDH injury force garth's hand?

Does this CDH injury force garth's hand?

I don't see why not. Gotta wait till the 29th though. Roster freeze starts tomorrow.

No it won't he values Hickey Mouse too much, we still have 7 dmen with CDH out... would be good to send Beau down and bring up Toews to see what we have with him

I doubt that happens unless the team totally flounders. They're interested in winning games, not seeing what they have in a prospect.

Considering the right side is covered and seidenberg has been awful, I do not see any downside to getting toews into a game or two.

It would be seeing if this prospect is good enough that they would not need to go shopping at the deadline, not so much for evaluating Toews for the future, it would be see if he can play now is he a Barzal or a Ho-Sang LOL

It does. 5th rouder to the Devils for their top AHL defenseman, Brian Strait

Not funny...

 

[Costigan77]

Not funny...

Not funny, but somewhat likely.

It may work out this time. Football season is over. He can focus purely on hockey, and not being the teams Fantasy Football Commisioner

That guy f***ing haunts my dreams

 

[Strummergas]

Yeah, but look on the bright side. bigd will start posting here again!

 

[MJF]

Yeah, but look on the bright side. bigd will start posting here again!

So what's the bright side?

 

[Lame Lambert]

Yeah, but look on the bright side. bigd will start posting here again!

I don’t know which is worse

I find it funny that he played 187 HNL games, 182 with Islanders and 3 other organizations only found it fit to give him 17 games. Cappy really did love him!

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

I'm just saying they're probably gonna ride Seidenberg until they can't afford to.

Oh god he'd come back and in his second game they'd announce an immediate three year extension

I would consider any of these players...

Darren Dreger on WGR 550 on Friday on the Senators.

“I think that Pierre Dorion though is looking for a core move away from Karlsson,” indicated Darren Dreger on Buffalo’s WGR 550. “So maybe a Mike Hoffman or a Zack Smith or maybe Pageau; or if you look at one of their defensemen, a longshot might be Cody Ceci, something like that.”​

Curious if Ceci would do better away from Ottawa's system, or if he's just not good.

I think he needs a systems change, I'd really like to buy-low on him if possible.
