I don’t think Dumoulin is “falling out of favor” as much as his play has fallen off a cliff.

It's actually somehow even worse than that. He's already hit the ground and is disintegrating into the earth.

Brock Boeser should be on that list as well. 4 Canucks out of 15 possible names lol

 

[HockeyWooot]

Canuck centric list, yaaay

Canuck centric list, yaaay

If Jim Benning has any sense at all (he doesn’t of course), he would avoid any and all talk/media that has anything to do with the nhl. Imagine being reminded daily of your abysmal failures for years to come.

How’s Anthony Stolarz falling out of favor? Guy has been a rock for Anaheim same with Dostal.

We took almost 60 shots from Edmonton last night. And he let no goals get in when he played in the third.

Stolarz saved the game from being unwatchable for many of us fans

 

[Breakers]

Tyler Myers fell out of favor in Vancouver before he even signed that contract.

Can’t stand him

And according to his agent, Vancouver has been trying to get rid of him right after he signed.

Sens fans are going to rip me apart for this, but I could see Hayes at 50% for Pinto

I want Sean Walker on the Stars so everyone can start calling him "Walker Texas Ranger"

Based on recent comments by Poile and Hayes, I don't think Fabbro is actually as available as this implies. Supposedly it's less "falling out of favor" and more "trying to push him to see if he can do Even More."

Yea you shouldn't do that

Your coach should have him watch this scene from The Last Jedi on loop

According to the article, it's about calling up Dostal.

 

[JlindiesANA]

According to the article, it's about calling up Dostal.

Well respectively, I think that article is not accurate. Stolarz has been a very solid back up for Anaheim. Not sure why he was even mentioned for that article to begin with.

I wouldn’t mind Stolarz and Dostal as the one two punch to be honest.

 

[Judas Tavares]

According to how things are on this board, each of those players will cost a 1st and then add.

Wow, ok.

Never seen a fanbase so attached to a 28 year old backup.

 

[Reaper45]

Walker is getting better as the season progresses after that brutal knee injury at the start of last season. He’s fine but I’d rather have some beef back there with Edler. If a LD can’t be had I’d look real hard at Schenn or Gudas.

Dumoulin just isn't the same player he was 5 years ago. He has accrued a lot of damage from injuries and he simply can't play at the level of a top pairing dman anymore.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Fabbro is at least a more legitimate player to list from Nashville than the previous fabrications of Ekholm or McDonagh. But only because we as fans see his role has been drastically reduced for no apparent reason, and are speculating that he may be out of favor. Plus his contract is up (RFA).

The Preds don't have anybody to replace him with, however, so it is by no means certain that he truly would be available.

Seems like a pretty decent list, for a change!

 

[JlindiesANA]

Wow, ok.

Wouldn’t say attached. But when your team takes the most shots allowed in the NHL. Which is 38+ average.

And he puts on good performances. You gotta give respect where it’s due. That simple.

There’s many players that writer could have chosen from in the league. And Stolarz is not accurate for a top 10 list.

 

[WatchfulElm]

Habs would like to contribute to the list by adding Armia, Hoffman, Dadonov, Drouin, Gallagher, Wideman and Edmundson. Sure, apart from the latter, they all have negative value, but we hope a DG gets desperate enough to make an offer.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Denis Gurianov is such a disappointment.
