2020-21 Around the League Part II

[Avsboy]

Looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight

 

[henchman21]

This is male perfection.

 

[Foppa2118]

Looks like Vigo the Carpathian in disguise, trying to sneak by TSA.

 

[Pokecheque]

Part of me wants us to have Tortorella as coach just for the comedic value of getting to watch him shoot down Chambers and the other legends reporting on the Avs.

Okay, THAT I’m on board with.

 

[McMetal]

Go to your room and think about what you've done.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

It's Frankie MacDonald!

Cody Ceci scored while Jack Johnson was on the ice, this is what dreams are made of

 

[Richard88]

That's extremely lenient from the DOPS

 

[Foppa2118]

If Jarmo ends up getting a poor return for Dubois because he rushed a trade, he has only himself and Torts to blame.

Good decision by the Jackets. There’s no need to let the toxic Torts/PLD relationship ruin his trade value.

What kind of a message would it have sent if Dubois had been dealt early just because he doesn't want to be there? Not just regarding the CBJ organization, but to other young RFA's around the league?

Yeah but there was no reason for Torts to make it so publicly toxic, except to suit his own ego.

They should have handled it the way the Avs handled Duchene's trade request. Which resulted in an overpayment from a desperate team.

I don't think it would send a message at all. Players request trades all the time and it doesn't impact the team or other RFA's. They're very specific situations.

Only made the Avs better when they got rid of the malcontent in Duchene. Same has been true other times in the past with teams in similar situations.

 

[Richard88]

Watch Jarmo trade Dubois for Puljujarvi, making up for passing on him in the draft!

The difference is, Duchene didn't quit on the ice.

No, I just mean that healthy scratching him is better than Torts benching him and PLD giving them a lazy effort.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

They really could have used him.

 

[Foppa2118]

The difference is, Duchene didn't quit on the ice.

It's debatable that Dubois quit, especially if it's based on that play where he lost the puck in his feet.

Also debatable that Duchene didn't quit. His attitude to start his last season was dogshit. He didn't want to be there at all and everyone knew it.

 

[Richard88]

They really could have used him.

Yeah,... really don't need Minnesota to get that 1C anytime soon. With Dubois as 1C, Rossi at 2C, Kaprizov on the wing, and a solid defence they could quickly become a nuisance.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

They really could have used him.

Eat shit, Wild.

Some of the Avs fans wanted to draft Armia years ago

 

[Richard88]

Winnipeg with Scheifele, Dubois, Stastny, & Lowry down the middle would be strong.
