Around The NHL Discussion 2019/20 - Part III

[Ranksu]

Sounds like Reinhart is pissed. Next guy out of Buffalo?

 

[Ranksu]

Fabbri injured. Takes Puck in the nuts. Auch that will hurt.

 

[TK 421]

Sounds like Reinhart is pissed. Next guy out of Buffalo?

A couple of those media guys were clearly trying to antagonize Reinhart. 1st guy basically said he quit back checking on a goal against and when Reinhart said he wasn't going to address that (the guy had just insinuated he was the reason for the goal against) the 2nd guy belligerently asks, "Why not?".

Assholes, both of them. Good for Reinhart, media can eat free food, watch a free game and wait for soundbites like the little worthless do nothings they are commenting on the deeds of greater men than themselves.

So, you're saying you like sports journalists?

Not sure, but same type of thing if it would happend in St. Louis it would affect some havoc. People would be pissed for player being unprofessional or why journalist was on the edge of asking that kind of questions. But yeah, I just said Buffalo players are boiling under their own skins.

I'm really suprised if Ristolainen doesn't move and get traded at off-season. It has been noted and interviewed many times in he's unhappy in Buffalo.

 

[Stealth JD]

don't look now, but the Preds are essentially back in a playoff spot (due to games in hand), and a very-likely 1st round opponent for the Blues.

I'd like to say Chris Pronger got sassy with the media almost daily and he's still loved in St. Louis

Isn't everyone unhappy in Buffalo?

Captain Happy!

We'll have something to say about that next weekend.

Some of thre sound bytes from his time in philly are total classics

Hehe, you compare to one of the toughest dmen in NHL for decent high end ovr prospect. Well, carry on, carry on.

 

[Ranksu]

Low prices at TDL? Not sure I was right pricess will be high. So saying Kreider will easily get 1st +

So Kyrou + 1st for Kreider.

MIN trades Jason Zucker to PIT for Galchenyuk, 2020 first-round pick and Calen Addison

 

[simon IC]

Galchenyuk basically a throw in for cap purposes. I remember when some here wanted him. So glad we dodged that bullet!

Idk, what Calen Addison is worth, but IMO that price is heavy for Zucker no matter he has few Yeats left from his contract.

If I remember right, Addison was still available when we drafted Perunovich.

 

[WeWentBlues]

If the Blues could fit another 5M player into the salary structure, I would have easily done Perunovich and 2020 1st for 3.5 years of Zucker at 5M.

Galchenyuk has been on the block all season with no takers. I don't think missing a comparable player like Galchenyuk would have derailed the deal. Dealing within the Central might have.

I remember alot of Tarasenko talk. Man he fell off a cliff

I don't think trading for Zucker would've been a good idea for us. I've been reading a bit on both the Wild and the Pens boards and there are a couple of red flags popping up. I haven't really been following the Wild this season but apparantly Zucker isn't playing that good and occasionally has been relegated to the 4th line. Another point is that his wife has a kid from a previous relationship that prevents her from leaving the state, so Zucker is going to be all alone for the majority of the time.

On one hand, I wouldn't be surprised if Zucker flourishes on a line with either Crosby or Malkin, but on the other hand I also wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't do any better then Chucky did.

MIN trades Jason Zucker to PIT for Galchenyuk, 2020 first-round pick and Calen Addison

Zucker has three more years left on his contract after this season, and was traded for a 1st, a cap dump and an A-/B+ prospect. That's less than what we paid for Schenn and less than what we paid for ROR.

There will be very little comparison between a trade for a forward with that much term and a rental.

 

[bleedblue1223]

The equivalent would be 1st+Bozak+Perunovich for Rakell

 

[Blueston]

The equivalent would be 1st+Bozak+Perunovich for Rakell

Sold!

 

[bleedblue1223]

Sold!

I really wonder if Army would even consider moving Bozak though and then where Bozak would approve a trade to.

Off topic but it reminds me how Marshawn Lynch got branded as unlikable by the media in the NFL, even though the media were the only ones who disliked him. Teammates, former teammates (especially Aaron Rodgers), coaches (proven by the fact that his old coaches signed him out of retirement this year rather than signing someone off the street), Seattle fans, and neutral fans generally liked him. Yet he was somehow a jerk because he didn't like doing interviews. I'm not nearly as anti-media/journalism as some people, but it's funny when sports journalists think the fanbase will support them by default in a disagreement with a player or coach.
