Just when it seemed like maybe, just maaaaaaaybe, Bergevin had figured out how to GM, he goes and trades for Nate Thompson.

He should have just traded for Kruger imo.

Huberdeau available. I wonder if he is part of a trade or series of trades that brings Panarin and Bob to Florida. Obviously, they’d have to get them to resign as part of the trade.

fire Tallon before he goes full stupid....

This has disaster written all over it, lol.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Well, Panarin is interested in either the big city or beachfront, so Florida might very well be on his hotlist anyway.

I don't think anyone is thinking that they're a Panarin away this season, so no way Tallon does something to try to land him as a rental.

agreed, but Tallon might be looking to make a big splash, moving Huberdeau would be so bad and idiotic for that team...

 

[JaegerDice]

He should have just traded for Kruger imo.

If he wanted a good 4th liner and defensive player, I agree.

But it seems he wanted size and grit... even though I'd argue MTL's success this season has come in large part due to abandoning the chase for size and grit and embracing their strengths as a speedy team.

 

[ClydeLee]

I cant picture Tallon trading Huberdeau, he neverardly ever parts with his high draft picks. The Gundbrannson trade occured when the other regime had power.

 

[Rick C137]

That’s pretty rough.

 

[JaegerDice]

They won the game, but WSH looked terrible against the LAK tonight. I wonder what the heck is happening with that team.

Perhaps Barry Trotz was more important than they thought. Nashville rebounded nicely when he left but I always thought he got a lot out of what they had, and his work this year with the Isles is obviously impressive.

 

[BK]

Not sure what the hell is going on but I am making a few hundred bucks a week just betting NHL games the past 7-8 weeks. I only bet the games I am confident in and parlay quite a lot of them. I won $300 tonight alone. Hell of a heater...

Tonight I bet the Caps, Pens, and Sharks to win and then parlayed them.

I don’t bet big anymore (250+) because I have a family and that would be greedy. I am also playing with free money on The site I use.

Nashville also decided to start spending more money, when he left didnt they? They were a cap floor team the whole time he was there iirc.

 

[JaegerDice]

Holy ****, I didn't realize the Canucks were playing their G prospect DiPietro tonight.

"Enjoy your first game in the NHL kid, hope you don't mind getting shelled by the best shot-share team in the league."

Yeah they did him no favors. Made the game an easy bet. I am high on him btw.

Apparently Markstrom had a last-minute injury.

Still, ****ty situation for the kid.

And yeah, the word on him is that he'll be good.

There's a great thread on the mainboard about Jack Johnson.

The Jack Johnson effect - Maybe he is as bad as Pens fans say

@Blue Liner has said, many times, that lots of people on HFBoards could probably do as good a job, if not better, than most NHL GMs (I think it was him, if it wasn't please mock as necessary). This is just the latest example that.... yeah, he's probably right. NHL GMs, even the good ones, are idiots.

There's a great post in there predicting that some NHL GM is going to sign Tyler Myers to a hefty contract next year because he's big. And they're going to be sorry. I absolutely co-sign that prediction.

I'm not sure about the spending but I do think the talent is upgraded. They had Weber and Suter, but I don't recall their forwards being anything to fear.

 

[Hawkaholic]

I'd take Nate Thompson over Kruger all day

Yeah IIRC Trotz left right before Forsberg emerged and they traded Jones for Johansen

Nope, it's me, and I will continue to say it if for NO other reason than many would at least know enough NOT to make some moves that are made by those who hold those positions. But there are people on this website, in this forum, who could absolutely make better decisions and do that job better than many current GMs if they were able to handle the other day-to-day grind that job is.
