Around the NHL - Episode XLVI

[SensontheRush]

You're saying that they have all of these young guys

The two D they are breaking in are in their D+6 season and you're using that as an example of playing kids.

I think there's a big difference between 23 - 25 and <23.

At least Boston is giving their 23-25 years olds a chance.

 

[DrEasy]

We trade people when they're in their prime. We acquire people when they're past their prime.

Pius Suter just scored a hat-trick for his first 3 NHL goals, that's a memorable game for the kid

Dude was at our rookie camp three years ago.

 

[JungleBeat]

Suter was better than Pyatt.

 

[SensontheRush]

I read that, since he was already signed by a Euro league, there was nothing we could do to retain him. Oh well.

 

[God Says No]

I read that, since he was already signed by a Euro league, there was nothing we could do to retain him. Oh well.

True, but he had the choice of signing with anyone this offseason. You would think we had some kind of edge since he's been in our camp a couple of times.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Hes also gone to the NYI tc.

 

[God Says No]

Hes also gone to the NYI tc.

Sure, but if I'm not mistaken the last two camps he attended were with us.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sure, but if I'm not mistaken the last two camps he attended were with us.

2017-18 tc with Sens
2018-19 tc w NYI
July 2020 signed with the Hawks

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Sure, but if I'm not mistaken the last two camps he attended were with us.

I believe he went to NYI camp the year after he went to our camp

 

[God Says No]

I believe he went to NYI camp the year after he went to our camp

Ah ok. All good then.

 

[JD1]

At least Boston is giving their 23-25 years olds a chance.

I don't have an issue with Balcers but i would like to see Chaplik get some games in

 

[God Says No]

I don't have an issue with Balcers but i would like to see Chaplik get some games in

I do. We waived Balcers so that Galchenyuk, Paquette, Stepan could have a spot with zero chance they'll be back after this year.

 

[Rand0m]

Just saw the Rangers and Pens were on and figured I’d check out Lafreniere.

After hearing Ceci’s name and realizing he’s now with the Pens, I see him take a needless hooking penalty just after his teammate took the puck away from the Rangers player...

 

[swiftwin]

Jets looking really strong against the Oilers. Maybe the Jets are just really good this year?

 

[GCK]

I do. We waived Balcers so that Galchenyuk, Paquette, Stepan could have a spot with zero chance they'll be back after this year.

There was zero chance Balcers was making our roster next year as well.

 

[God Says No]

There was zero chance Balcers was making our roster next year as well.

(x) Doubt

 

[God Says No]

Jets looking really strong against the Oilers. Maybe the Jets are just really good this year?

... and they lose.

 

[Agent Zub]

There was zero chance Balcers was making our roster next year as well.

yeas because we're so chock full of elite nhl forwards

 

[branch]

... and they lose.

If Scheifele/Connor/Ehlers ran amok I am scared of what McDavid and Draisaitl will do when we play the Oilers

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

People need to come to terms with the fact that the Habs are one of the best teams in the NHL.

Feels bad man

Season is still young.

That's not a contending lineup.

 

[Boud]

Season is still young.

That's not a contending lineup.

Not sure I agree. They are so deep at forward, they can roll 4 lines all game and have the best goalie in the world.

 

[BondraTime]

Season is still young.

That's not a contending lineup.

They are deep everywhere

 

[JD1]

I do. We waived Balcers so that Galchenyuk, Paquette, Stepan could have a spot with zero chance they'll be back after this year.

Well, i gather the view from the executive suite was there's zero chance Balcers would have been here long term

I think something most here would agree on is we have a very large pipeline of players coming in the next few years and this was going to result in some casualties. Balcers appears to be the first of those casualties
