Around The League 2019-20 VII

Hall being on AZ worries me that they'll win the lottery lol.

Not if they flip him by monday...

The Panthers are so deep, they traded stud Denis Malgin to the Leafs.

He was a huge favorite of you know who at the time. I think he might have even said we should have drafted him (he went at 102nd overall) instead of Blackwood (42nd overall), but maybe I'm wrong on that one. I know there was some question of us drafting whoever else we drafted that year ahead of him instead of him.

I’m not even particularly a fan of this running gag but I have to tip my cap to this winner because it’s hilariously true.

Looking at the draft, I assume the nightmare pick that doomed the Devils forever was Colton White because the Panthers grabbed the Swiss Johnny Gaudreau soon after that. Maybe I’m the only one who finds this post hilarious even sober, but he was pumping Malgin’s tire quite a bit during the 2017-18 playoff race.

Jackets signed Matteau to a two way contract. Yeesh.

ya, they'll go far with him

 

[Brodeur]

with the tv contract coming up how does everyone feel about espn/disney getting hockey games back?

Not gonna lie, this music still gets me excited. I wouldn't mind ESPN and NBCSN sharing rights like ESPN does with the NBA and TNT. In recent years, I always laugh when I have to look up what channel CNBC is for whichever NHL playoff game gets relegated there.

More former Devils on the move, Blender this time.

I wouldn't be so sure. I don't think they will, but I can see it happening.

I feel bad for Blandisi in a way. 4th team in 4 seasons. I just checked - 8 career NHL goals, all with the Devils.

His career has really taken a dive.

To be fair everyone thought the jackets would be in the basement this year

Who would’ve thought his career highlight was the overtime goal 2-1 against the rangers when quinville set him up. I thought the kid (s) were going to be ok

Did you? No, couldn't be. I think I see what you did there.

Love this pic after that goal.

hey even if he doesn’t pan out he’s accomplished more then 95% of professional hockey players ever have. Plus he will still make a killing in the ahl or overseas

 

[Blackjack]

Coyotes board is waving the white flag, they want to trade Hall and Hjalamarsson. Insane stuff.

If they do trade him, it definitely depresses the market for Palmieri and Kreider, as he's be the fourth high-end winger traded already, and by definition the teams that are left are the low bidders.

Man that'd be nuts

Would continue to enjoy the free bahl and merkley we got though

 

[aboriginal]

Yeah there’s really nothing better than free bahlin. And...merkl...I got nothing.

They need to borrow to Lou for a day, let him fire tocchet and hire a new guy before going back to the Islanders.

Seriously though. They are a team that could legitimately benefit a great deal from a coaching change

f*** lou

 

[markog]

GM of Arizozna said that there is no chance they trade Hall - stranger things happened.

 

[MadDevil]

Did you? No, couldn't be. I think I see what you did there.

It was too tempting to pass up.

We can trade them Kowalsky for OEL

Maybe Arizona thinks they can sign Hall. It wouldn’t be the craziest thing for him to stay. Feels like a guy who would like Scottsdale.

I don’t really buy this narrative usually but I think there’s some truth to Hall not being a winner. Everywhere he goes, the team is bad and gets better when he leaves. I think it’s maybe his style of play, but it’s just bizarre.

Also with the AZ pick - they’re sitting 9th with a 5(!!) more games played than Nashville (3 pts back) and Minnesota (5 pts back) and Calgary/Winnipeg/Van all have more points with several games in hand.
