This is the second blowout of Pittsburgh... Interesting
Its more of Niemi being terrible than anything else

Hey, if the Habs want Galchenyuk for Morin or something, fine, but it doesn't have to be him. And I agree he's not Hextall's type.
Just call up Bergevin and see how eager he is to deepen the hole he is in. Prospects, picks, whatever. Desperation makes for wonderful trade partners.
Teams are getting to Murray right now too. Pittsburgh’s bleeding goals against in general. Niemi is terrible though & it’s making matters worse. You know Murray & the guys in front of them will get it sorted out soon but Niemi is just terrible & has been for years now. It was a dumb signing from the start & I highly doubt he’s their backup come seasons end.
Get a life bennysflyers16Turn Flames game on NOW
But aside from Poehling, who would you want from them? Would you want Chucky here? I'd be interested to hear what you think of him - I just don't think I've ever seen him really play that well (not that I have watched all that carefully or anything).
Yeah mostly Poehling lol.
I don't know more about him than anyone else, but Chucky's contract sucks. Montreal ****ed that up, and frankly it makes trading for him more suspect. There's no long term certainty. He is what he is: a scoring winger with his flaws. Somewhat like Schenn but probably better 5v5, and he still has some potential. Montreal loves dicking around with him, and if a team just put him in a scoring winger role with some 200ft guys (hey, we have those) in a fresh start, there's potential there. I'm sure his lefty shot would play well on our PP. I'm not advocating trading for him though because I can imagine the cost, and I don't think we need him, and he could impede other signings. And he's so not a quintessential Hexy player.
I hope we dont play Tampa soon. Goddamn are they rolling right now.
I hear that. Kucherov is singlehandedly murdering me in fantasy. Worse I had the opportunity to keep him a few years ago. Whenever I see that name an image of a noose appears in my head.I hope we dont play Tampa soon. Goddamn are they rolling right now.
I figured they would of went with Jarry as a backup.
didnt know they had Casey DeSmith as well down in the AHL.
If they don’t make a trade I’d imagine that’s the end game. I figure going into the offseason they didn’t want to limit his usage by pigeonholing him into the NHL backup role with Murray getting the crease full time this year. So they started him out in the AHL to get more work in.
