Around the league part 12: "Greiss is Green-er on the other Sedoff the Zaitsev"..

[HisIceness]

We need to pull a St. Louis and go on an 11 game winning streak. That would be cool.

Remember when they were selling, and Tarasenko, Pietrangelo, O'Reilly and Schenn were all available?

They were more talented than us from Day 1, so I don't think we can do what they're doing. I think we're actually doing as close to that as we can at the moment.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Oh my God, the Wild are SO bad right now. Like Canes-level bad.

 

[RaleighBlues]

Blues took their foot off the gas. Win #11 in jeopardy.

Evidently, Victor Rask was *not* the answer.

Maybe they should trade us Coyle?

 

[RaleighBlues]

ROR gets the winner in OT! 11 in a row for STL.

It's a complete mess over there right now. They're in one of those tailspins that we as Canes fans should be intimately familiar with.

And we want Eric Staal back?

Faulk for Staal straight up.

You trying to get Fenton fired?

 

[DougieSmash]

We miss big time on ROR. Aho/O'Reilly is one of the best 1/2 punch in the league.

 

[DougieSmash]

Coyotes are within point of second WC in West. They have 59 pts. LOL.

Avs are something like 5-25 in last 30 but they are one point away, too. Man, the West f***ing stinks.

 

[AD Skinner]

And we want Eric Staal back?

Nope

 

[RaleighBlues]

Ducks with a -50 goal differential sitting 3 pts out of West 2nd WC.

 

[RaleighBlues]

We miss big time on ROR. Aho/O'Reilly is one of the best 1/2 punch in the league.

He really has been even better than advertised this year. Right now it looks like a clear lopsided trade for the Blues, but Sabres do still get Blues 1st (‘19) and 2nd rd (‘21) picks coming up.

 

[SaskCanesFan]

Damn, Coyle to Boston for Donato and a 5th. Have to think the Canes could have competed with that offer no? Another year on his contract too. Maybe Fenton blocked the Canes number

Who would you consider an equivalent forward prospect? Would you give up Kuokkanen and a pick? Gauthier?

He’s a righty, but I’d rather keep shopping for a bargain than pay that for Coyle.

I've never been big on Gauthier, so I wouldn't have hesitated on that. Kuok would have made me think hard, and I like him, but I'd still probably do it.

There's no way Minny was getting Kuokkanen or Gauthier for Coyle. Donato is not a good prospect. This was not a high price for Coyle, nor is Coyle worth a high price.

Donato is similar to Puuljarvi in that some people still see huge potential while others see a player who has stagnated. I would tend to agree with you but if Fenton is trading for Donato’s ceiling that’s what would be required to match.

Yeah, but Donato is more than two years older than Puljujarvi (and Kuokkanen) and a year and a half older than Gauthier. He's a month older than David Pastrnak. He'll be 23 in April. If he's going to have an impact in the NHL, it's going to have to happen soon.

 

[Lurk Muller]

Really wish we were in the West for the easy playoff spot. If only we could play our games out of like Houston or something.

 

[Primetime8]

Mike Tirico sounded really good on l play-by-play tonight for NBCSN

 

[HisIceness]

Seems like a trade Boston will regret later on yes? I thought Donato was one of their rising young stars.

I always thought he was too slow to consistently take advantage of his good shot. Reminds me of a slightly better Frk.
