2015-16 Around the League VI

[JWK]

When you **** up, might as well throw a check right?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Holy **** that Duclair has some hands, you could see it in the game as well. That kid has the puck on a string literally.

Good call Rangers giving him up for 1.5 years of Yandle

 

[AvsRobin]

Duclair has very unique numbers through out his career. Gonna be interesting to follow him.

 

[Ducks]

Just thought I'd pop in and let you guys know that Despres looks like he'll play his first NHL game since Barrie hit him in the head. He took a few games in the AHL this week for conditioning and looked pretty good.

Good to hear. I didn't even know he was still out because of that hit. Very unfortunate.

To be fair they were going for a Stanley Cup. Gotta go all out during this last bit of Lundqvist being great

 

[Balthazar]

To be fair they were going for a Stanley Cup.

Still, this one is going to sting for many years I'm afraid. What makes it worse it that they knew he was going to be good so it's not "out of nowhere" trade badluck.

Shorthanded? This is some major league **** up. Less than 2 min left, they are on the pp, they lead by one goal and the goalie is out of the net?

 

[Ivan13]

The hilarious part is that the shot is probably going wide if it doesn't hit Spurgeon who's sliding across the ice.

That's good to hear.

The Slovak league pretty much copied the NHL all star game format and judging from the reactions it was a success. The games seemed to have good tempo and were entertaining.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

When you **** up, might as well throw a check right?

Haha. I enjoy seeing Wild struggle.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Wow, that's some real good stupidity. I hope they miss by one point.

 

[SuperJoe]

Haha. I enjoy seeing Wild struggle.

Oh me to, they're easily my most hated team these days

 

[Freudian]

December 1st, Montreal had 41 points and Colorado 21 points. Now Colorado have 55 points and Montreal 52 points.

I'm sure it's not a big deal. It's a very relaxed hockey market.

 

[dahrougem2]

Montreal should just shut Price down for the year. He won't be back probably for at least another month, just shut him down

 

[Stories]

Adam Clendening waived. Might be an interesting pickup if we didn't have 50 contracts...

Rags are notorious for doing this. Even in this new era they still trade promising youngsters for that "chance"
Its why ive never committed to them as a fan even though im from NY and I live here now.
And to irk me more, Duclair looks like he could be another black star in the league. Playing in Arizona.

I'm so grateful that Patrick Roy made me a hockey fan or I would've ended up being a Rags fan as well as Knicks fan. James Dolan. The man is death for the expensive teams he owns, even with him being more hands off with hockey.

 

[tigervixxxen]

And when they don't have a first for 4 straight years. But our prospect pool is considered worse...

 

[Avs_19]

LeBrun's tweeting about the WC team. 16 players must be named by March 2nd.

So Duchene has a month to make his case. I think he should already be there but another month like November wouldn't hurt.

 

[henchman21]

I'm a big Trouba fan, but $7m AAV is cray cray.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Also see the Avs are likely to play the Sharks in the new Vegas arena for preseason. The kings and Stars are the other game.

 

[Avs_19]

Even if Trouba's not a direct comparable, any young defenseman getting a big deal will probably make Barrie and his agents very happy.

 

[tigervixxxen]

If the cap goes down and all these new deals kicking in it's going to be interesting. FA is going to be pretty depressed again. A lot of ELCs and more minimum deals too.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Even if Trouba's not a direct comparable, any young defenseman getting a big deal will probably make Barrie and his agents very happy.

I would agree, you don't want to get in a you're not better than Trouba argument... someone will pay him what ever he wants.
