Around the League 2020-21

Wow. Ryan Ellis to Philly, Phil Myers and Cody Glass to Nashville, Nolan Patrick to Vegas. That’s a doozy.

I don't see why Vegas would move Glass for Patrick unless there's something else to it.

Read up on Kelly McCrimmon and you'll see why lol

Yeah I know there's a connection there and it stands to reason they would be interested in Patrick in general.

With Glass slipping into bust territory himself I definitely see why they'd do it. Take a chance on your guy, I'm definitely curious where this makes them stand with Eichel, though. Doubt they brought in Patrick to not give him a legit shot and doubt Buffalo would covet Patrick more.

 

[Kalv]

Vegas just brought in 2 centers

 

[Paul4587]

Definitely wish we were in on McCann. He’s a solid player who is good on the PP and goes for peanuts.

 

[dracom]

Jesus i go to sleep after work and all the trades happen.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Man who is made of Glass is traded for Glass.

I like that trade alot for Philly.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Ellis is one of the highest IQ players in the NHL right now IMO

 

[PaddyMcStackin]

Is MTL exposing Price and compensating Seattle not to pick him?

 

[Anaheim4ever]

The Pitt/Tor trade, is Burke behind sending McCann to Toronto ?

I would guess so. McCan has 3 dissapointing playoff performances for the Pens. So of course Toronto will trade for him

I think its interesting how Burke never stays with one team that long and always moves on. Vancouver, Anaheim, Toronto, Calgary, Pittsburgh.

He got ton of respect after Anaheim stint obviously. He was perceived to be good to make a contender right away but even that is a bit questionable now. He was never good to build a longterm good team like Bob has been damn good at.

His trade for the Sedins picks was cool though. That set Vancouver up for a long time.

True, I had forgotten about that.

Toronto and Calgary stints have been weak for him, plus everything that happened after our cup. So "lately" he has not been that great to me. But with Crosby and Malkin at their age he is a good guy to have in their org I guess

 

[Paul4587]

Burke was excellent in Vancouver, was awesome here, sucked in Toronto and was decent in Calgary. He's a finisher though and not someone who I would want building a team from scratch.

And he helped the Ducks get Rakell and Gibson by having Toronto trade up.

Perfect fit for Toronto, guy who doesn't show up in the playoffs - will fit in seamlessly.

Why on earth does the main forum think Price will get picked lmao ?
That has less than a 0% chance of happening.

I still think it doesn't happen in the end, but Lavoie reported that sources have told him that it's tough to justify not picking the only franchise player available. also the fact that he played junior in Washington and is from the general region could play into it as well. Lebrun also reported that there's a better chance of it than he originally thought. should be an interesting week.

Carey Price sur son départ ? - TVA Sports

I think there’s a chance he could be taken. Starting your franchise off with a star goalie seems pretty enticing to me. Also being unprotected means it’s going to be a possibility until the time comes.

But a 10.5m cap hit is huge. That's an 8th of your roster for one player. I think they'll do it with subban because they can weaponize his star power and willingness for publicity. Sorta like what MAF did for Vegas
