GDT: Training Camp 2021: Everyone Else Too Lazy to Make a Thread

[GoAwayPanarin]

I have no expectations for Mika right now. No idea how he is feeling or what his stamina is, after covid. He looked like shit in his team photo.

Yeah this is true but I'd caution getting too tied up with how he looked.

Rehydration is a thing and any weight he lost will come back pretty quickly.

 

[Player big P]

He doesn't usually look so great anyway

 

[BKGooner]

You can count on one thing to happen tomorrow night. That's Lindgren drawing blood.

From himself? He always seems to end up leaking.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Very excited to see top PK unit defenseman Jack Johnson out there tomorrow night

Thank god Gorton and crew signed JJ, we really needed the help on the left side and PK

 

[BKGooner]

Great restaurant!, sucks they only do cash though. Their homemade wine is amazing too.

Where is this and how have I not eaten here already?

 

[Machinehead]

Throwing Mika in there seems kind of disingenuous.

Its like "Hey! Instead of pacing at the rate of a Richard winner, if he regresses to his career averages he'd still be a 40 goal scorer over 82 games!"

Like no shit, he isn't going to shoot 20% again.

You mean he's not gonna score 60 goals?

Welp, there goes the season.

well we are only playing 56 games. 40-50 goals sounds reasonable though.

He's like a high-sticking magnet.

So is Mika a definite scratch tomorrow, or a GTD? Sorry if this has been asked and answered previously.

Quinn just said he’s playing but they may limit minutes

 

[Fitzy]

Not to harp on the point but it still blows my mind that this team couldn't offer 3x2 to the best bottom 6 player we've had in a long time.

Someone make a PGT already

Yup. I understand the "logic" with regards to the cap and the bonus cushion and not wanting to go three years and all that, but it still seems like we could have kept him if we really wanted to. I mean I'd sooner trade someone like Lemieux than lose Fast for those terms. Or just plan to go with Bitetto and not sign Johnson, and not have Rooney on the active roster or whatever.

Looks like Mika, Trouba, Kreider, and Bread will wear the A's.

 

[Machinehead]

Covid concussion

 

[Machinehead]

We all know Trouba is just a proxy for Donnie getting a letter.

I’d follow Donnie (the dog not the... Ummmm other... one) anywhere

Don't do Donnie Osmond like that

 

[RangersFan1994]

our next captain will be Alexis Lafrenière. I have a gut feeling in 3 years he will be captain.

 

[Fitzy]

Yeah so by the look of it I was right and Miller will only be used primarily at Even Strength to start his career. Probably the right way to ease him in.

A little surprised to see Vince suggest Buchnevich will be a regular penalty killer when Lemieux isn't listed--- since Brendan isnt on PP2 any longer he's gonna be looking at like 6 minutes a game, not ideal.

 

[Blue Blooded]

Trouba has the most disingenuous smile I've ever seen.
