2021 Offseason | Around the League (All non-Stars NHL Talk here)

[Smelling Salt]

Stars would be more interested in trading for Bennett I think. But the only thing I'd be willing to offer is the elite locker room presence and veteran presence on the ice Andrew Cogliano...

Calgary would have to + obv

 

[Magic Mittens]

Definitely a fan of Bennett. Would be nice if we could swap Dickinson for him

 

[Troy McClure]

sure Avery was a C***, but he never was as talented either. Deangelo is also still relatively young enough to still learn to grow up. Albeit in the very last moments, but still. Avery had made his mark and was like 30 or so when he came to Dallas.

Adding a guy who tries to beat up teammates seems like a terrible idea. If he was so good, the Rangers wouldn't be waiving him.

The additional details are quite damning for sure.

 

[Satan]

DeAngelo cleared

Chiasson waived

 

[serp]

Not a suprise .

 

[MrHeiskanen]

The dude has been given a million chances in his hockey career, he just can't figure out how to act appropriately.

A player can battle with fans and media and keep their job, but when you start stuff with teammates, you'd better be pretty awesome to justify the headache. And he's not that. He can put up points for sure, but his on-ice problem is he puts up points for both teams.

[serp]

Well thats f***ing stupid

 

[Kipper 17]

What happened?

 

[serp]

Devils got really careless and got the Sabres also shut down. Once it became clear something was going on with the Devils with COVID the Sabres asked for more details and the Devils flat out refused to give any.

League should've stepped in at that point.

 

[serp]

By the way i feel bad for the Sens. They just get dunked on by everyone in that Canadian division .

Shady stuff

The goaltending on three or four of the teams in that division is putrid.

 

[serp]

I think it'll be almost impossible for the scoring leader not to be from the Canadian division. It's only 7 teams so the better ones get even more games against the terrible defenses.

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

And it might be tough to accumulate points in the central. 2 great teams, CAR and TB, and 2 bad ones, Chi and Detroit. 4 somewhere in the middle.

 

[serp]

Starting to get worrying.

 

[starsfan86]

Starting to get worrying.

They all just need to get vaccinated or this is going to continue to happen

 

[LT]

This season never should've happened. This was inevitable to anyone paying attention to the virus.

 

[serp]

I mean it wasn't with the virus. How it was handled in the US and still is on the other hand yeah i agree.

 

[Satan]

Canadian division seems to be functioning

 

[LT]

Canadian division seems to be functioning

gee i wonder why

 

[eartotheground]

gee i wonder why

what's different about how canada is handling? full lockdown?

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Wouldn't be surprised if the league shut down 3 of 4 divisions, leaving the Canadian one. It would be one way to keep Canada happy by ensuring one of their own teams actually won the Cup.
