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

[GoldiFox]

Since January 1st in 5v5 play St Louis has scored 54 goals and given up just 27. Across 22 games St Louis has scored two goals for every one the opponent scores in 5v5 play.

Since January 1st the Canes have scored 55 5v5 goals. That is more than the Dallas Stars and Anaheim Ducks have scored combined.

Hmm. That is probably why they are winning so much.

Obvious negotiation tactics, but imagine the fallout if they don't sign him.

Especially after all the Pu they gave up to get him.

*Thrilled* it's not our problem. We can whine all we want about the return, but would anybody rather be Buffalo than Carolina right now?

 

[HisIceness]

Call me crazy but it wouldn't shock me if Pittsburgh made Buffalo an enticing offer for Jeff. Whether or not Buffalo would bite is a different conversation.

I don't get these things right though so don't bet on it.

We could offer Pu and second-, third-, and sixth-round picks. Or is that an overpay?

 

[HisIceness]

I'd just say offer the rights to the Jeff Skinner is Strong video on YouTube.

And his production has been steadily falling since he started hot this year, regressing back to form.

Just saying, watching this all happen after how this all went down... Yeah, I'm enjoying the show.

In the Entry Draft, they will mainly be picking their noses.

 

[RaleighBlues]

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.

Maybe the Blues and Canes should swap conferences.

Canes 13-7-3 vs West/18-16-3 vs East
Blues 14-7-1 vs East/18-15-4 vs West

OR, maybe you could just send us one of Schenn, ROR, or Tank. I'm not picky. That might help even things out.

Schenn is out with an upper body injury right now...so you can have him for Aho.

 

[RaleighBlues]

Blues go down 5-3 @ Dallas and the streak is over. Blues outshot Stars 45-25. Came down to goaltending. Stars got it, Blues didn’t.

So when do the dominoes start to fall?

Per Friedman all of Duchene, Stone, and Dzingel are officially available from Ottawa after being held out of the game yesterday.

I wouldn't think at this point that Panarin and Bob are being moved unless Columbus lost tonight and tomorrow; they play Ottawa tonight so unlikely.

@Sens1Canes2 Could Dzingel be had for less than a 1st?

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

If Panarin and/or Bob are moved, CLB will IMO look to get some high-end pending UFA who they think they can sign more easily than those two, like a Duchene, rather than draft picks. In fact, I see a Duchene three-way being a very strong possibility, where Duchene goes to CLB, Panarin goes to a third team, and Ottawa gets a first and prospects from said third team.

Overall, I see Stone going to Winnipeg, Dzingel going to Nashville, and the Canes standing pat barring some sweetheart cap-clear trade or something.

I'm not sure what the Islanders would want from us for Aho, but I'm sure we could work something out.

 

[SlavinAway]

Looks like potential Ottawa - Columbus deal is about to come out.

 

[HisIceness]

Duchene to Columbus it sounds like.

 

[Penaltykiller17]

If they gain Duchene and lose Panarin, I’m good with that.

 

[HisIceness]

Official now.

 

[AD Skinner]

god i freaking detest the blue jackets

 

[HisIceness]

Ottawa gets a 1st and a conditional 1st in this upcoming draft if Duchene signs. That's not bad.

Not sure how good the two prospects they got are.

I doubt it unless a damn good prospect was involved.

 

[SaskCanesFan]

God I hate the East. Columbus is loading up and Pittsburgh is Pittsburgh. So either Montreal falters or this is a year you can get 98 points and miss the playoffs anyways? f***
