GDT: Minnesota Wild Vs Vegas Golden Knights | 7:30PM | Good Friday Eve

Let's not forget that he registered 8 pts in 20 playoffs games last year. As I wrote earlier, being moved each 5-6 games to a different line or a different position isn't helping either.

And yeah, Nic is my buddy. I will cheer for him no matter what

Didn't mean to include Roy as bad contract, he's useful 4th liner cheap. As for your buddy, like his potential, he not NHL-ready skatingwise, he needs to work on that in the off-season, I do like his potential. And actually, to give the GM some props (instead of grief for handing out big contracts) I think his staff finds some diamonds in the rough like Whitecloud, Stephenson (remember he cost a 5th rounder) and more.

I think the skating he did in the 1st period following Stone was OK speed, and not sub par. 1 min 57 to 2 min or so in the video.

He can probably improve a lot, I've watched him carefully. He has a long stride, but he need to "pick 'em up and put 'em down" faster. He also gets trapped in his own zone too much . He's much better once in the O-zone.

 

[Vegas07]

No hate here, but I think it's reasonable to expect a lot more from him on both ends, considering we traded away our 2C & 2D from last season to fit his salary. It's not fair to blame the cap situation on him, but it's fair to say his play has not lived up his previous standards. He's also been a non factor on the PP...which again it's not all his fault, as the PP needs a giant overhaul.

Agree with most of this. He was offered that contract with the expectation he would be great and it was an attempt to win a Stanley Cup. While I am glad he is back, I didn’t miss him as much as I missed some other players that were out.

I would feel differently if it was a different player with a similar performance. Especially if it was Coghlan.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I didn't say 2 for 1, I said they're included.

I knew what you meant. You're not getting Eichel for Tuch, Reaves & Holden unless Buffalo's GM is dying to get fired.

No that's not what I said. I said trade Reaves to clear cap, and include Holden & Tuch in the package for Eichel.

Ok, I was unclear. Who are we adding.

1. Who will give us anything for Reaves straight up? I'm demanding 50% retention and a favorable pick swap if I'm another GM. Dude is not worth anything on the trade market.

2. Other teams will offer more than Tuch for a 1C. I really don't think there are enough assets to offer for such a prized player. Tuch is a nice player but he's getting paid already and has been around long enough to think his ceiling is just about reached. He's not an elite winger, just a very good one. So his contract while good isn't a crazy value. What else can Knights offer other than Krebs and Glass? Pretty much have to give away the pipeline, maybe some picks and have a new highest paid team member. This is insanity.

 

[CupInSIX]

Whatever it takes. Morozov/Glass/Krebs, Korczak, multiple 1sts.

I could see this front office doing something like that.

Not saying anything about a hypothetical trade but none of Krebs, Glass or our next two firsts are going to be close to Eichel good. And he is already that good and he will be that good for a decade.

When Stone ages out of superstar territory our contending days are most likely done anyway.

 

[theslatcher]

Glass+Brown+Holden in, Hague out. Flower starting.

Glass between Stoner and Patches.

 

[dm1371]

Is Fleury starting tonight?

 

[Vegan Knight]

Nosek may be a third line answer how he has played.

 

[Pia8988]

MAF leaving a lot of rebounds

 

[azvgk]

Just two questions:


How many 2 on 1's do we need to have to score one goal??
And, will Marchessault ever hit the net?

Other than that, we looked dominant. but we need so many chances to score one goal.

p.s. I'm not giving Glass, Krebs, Morozov and a bunch of first for
Eichel. Yeah, he's super but what are we looking to become - Edmonton??

 

[azvgk]

He's not roaming though, which is when he gets into trouble.

 

[Pia8988]

Such a boring predictable PP

You underestimate how awful their defense and bottom six is. And we have better goaltending.

 

[Pia8988]

The worst call in hockey. Shouldn't get rewarded for one hand on your stick.

 

[hangman005]

Go Go

 

[hangman005]

PK Time.... remember when we used to score short handed?

 

[hangman005]

[hangman005]

Not a PP.....
