Khan with some Trade Deadline Updates

[Fil Larkmanthanasiou]

If only Datsyuk and Zetterberg didn't get old

They were already old (36 and 34) the year before Blashill became the coach and Tatar and Nyquist scored 29 and 27 goals in their first full year (in part due to the Cleary signings) with the team.

 

[kliq]

I was trying to imply that dats and Zs aging and inevitable regression is what led to the regression of Tatar (and nyquist)

Maybe Tatar, but not Nyquist. I'm pretty sure that when Nyquist had his amazing run of 2014, both D and Z were injured for a large part of it.

I think Glendening is hemmed in his zone a lot based on the numbers, but I think those kind of stats are never only on one player, but on whatever line you are on. He plays on the 4th line, in front of OUR defense, how many 4th liners aren't spending a lot of time in their own zone in this scenario. Even Kris Draper would have trouble in this situation and he was one of the best 4th liners ever.

Yeah... It's just Zone starts which will make his Corsi look bad. With this kind of role players, Corsi is absolutely meaningless stat.

Or is Babcock lunatic, if he loves to have this kind guy. The best coaches know what the importance for him is.

Most of hockey fans just don't get it.

Individual corsi has always been a really bad stat.

I’m not sure why it wouldn’t. Nobody is going to post the same story for a whole straight week.

WOOOOOOOO GET IT DONE!

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Could mean a Tatar/Nyquist trade isn't on the horizon. Selling wingers is a tough market in any year, and now a number of teams are trying to.

Imo, biggest negotiations are already done. GMs know the prices and are waiting dominoes to fall.

Some teams could decide between two optional trades, and it holds another one etc.

Detroit scouts at the Minnesota / New Jersey game :



Detroit only plays Minnesota on March 4th and won't be playing against New Jersey again. Minnesota might be looking at secondary scoring, but doesn't have a lot of cap room. New Jersey has a lot of cap room, but are they really buyers? Nyquist would be a great fit I think, especially with the Johansson injury.

Can't see a fit with Minnesota. Anyhow.

But something like

Mirco Mueller + 2nd round pick at 2019 for Nyquist + Ouellet.

Or it could be just Nyquist for RhD. Devils have plenty of them. Severson, Vatanen, Lovejoy and Santini (not playing tonight).

Probably just forgot that Quincey got waived and sent to the AHL.

 

[Ezekial]

Marc Bergevin was there, eh? With his director of player personnel no less.

 

[Ezekial]

And Jersey traded for Michael Grabner.

 

[ShelbyZ]

Considering they just snagged Grabner, wonder if the Devils had inquired about Nyquist/Tatar, and the Wings wanted to see what they had to offer.

Devils have truckloads of cap space for this and next season, so it could still be a possibility.
