Around The League 2019-20 VI (Mod note in OP)

[NJDevs26]

We’re done with the Cherry discussion here because you guys cannot act like adults or follow rules and directions. This is not up for debate. If you want to discuss it further go to the main board thread linked below, but be warned they also have rules and boundaries.

Don Cherry Fired

Anything else around the league (non-Devils) is fair game here.

They actually won three in a row to get UP to 7-10-1 lol...guess Pete's got a stay of execution now.

I propose a trade. Pete for our entire coaching staff.

 

[Devils731]

obviously the start of a Hall trade.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Lol, I just saw that too.

What a strange return it's been for Kovy.

 

[NJDevs26]

Speaking of good riddance...buh bye comrade!

81 GP in his return...19G, 24A and a -36, woof.

As far as I'm concerned he's getting exactly what he deserves. And I loved the guy when he was a Devil.

That's not "woof".

That's "OUCH".

It's gotta be a tough time for him right now, probably blowing his nose with dollar bills

43pts on that bad team isn’t as bad as it sounds.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The points aren’t terrible. They aren’t good either. That +/- is woof

 

[JrFischer54]

It’s average for that time on ice and when you consider the talent of the team and his age it’s just meh not good not bad.

I thought we were beyond the +/- labels by now. Carter and kopitar were both -20 last year

 

[Emperoreddy]

Why are they shelving him then?

Per Wyshynski:

Clearly, Ilya Kovalchuk and this season’s Los Angeles Kings are a bad fit. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports that the 36-year-old winder has been told he’ll be out the of lineup “for the foreseeable future.” He has one goal and two assists in his last 13 games. His 26.32 goals-for percentage at 5-on-5 is the worst on the Kings. He had a full no-move clause thanks to GM Rob Blake, but this is the kind of move that no doubt entices a player to waive it.

He isn't useful enough offensively for them to justify him being in the lineup. He's not useful in other areas if he's not scoring. They want to move on.

 

[MadDevil]

Obviously they're just protecting a trade asset.

 

[Desert Devil]

Plus minus doesn’t matter though. Amirite?

So basically, he's Gusev but 10 years older and uncoachable.

 

[NJDevs26]

If the dude had anything left you'd think they'd want to play him to showcase a trade asset lol

 

[JrFischer54]

It doesn’t

 

[Call Me Al]

1 goal and 2 assists in 13 games matters though

 

[NJDevs26]

-36 in 81 games is pretty freaking bad though. Especially when you have 43 points, and the point production's fallen off a cliff since early last year.

 

[Bcap88]

People are going to remember kovy for leaving us high and dry and then coming back as a shell of himself, not the guy that was dominant for a decade in Atlanta

 

[Blackjack]

4 elite left wings have played for this organization, and only 1 will end up getting out without being hated by the fans. Amazing.
