Around the NHL - Part II

[FartMilk]

LMFAO

How is Strome doing for yall?

Seeing Spooner on the waiver wire reminds me of all the other big trades Gorton has done. Nash is retired. Brassard isn't working out in Pittsburgh and will be moved. Grabner not coming close to scoring as many goals as last year. Gorton has done well getting value for these guys in return.

The main boards are unbearable now with all the Islander fans suddenly showing up all over and even looking at the hockey page of the NY Post is sickening. f*** the Islanders.

 

[aufheben]

The funniest part of this is that the team they traded Messier to is also the team that traded Spooner to them.

The Oilers are clearing out roster spots. The two waivers and Caleb Jones was reassigned. Jones is probably to get him games like we just did with lindgren. Maybe it's to clear out cap for Sekera returning. Maybe something else.

They have one game left before the all-star break. It's probably just to help accumulate cap space for the deadline.

So now it’s not just Tampa and Toronto fans banging their chests? Lovely.

Koskinen gets a 3 year $4.5m avg contract having played 29 NHL games. There really is something wrong with that franchise
I'm assuming this means Talbot in EDM is pretty much done,

Chia gonna Chia.

I wasn't sure how Koskinen would turn out but that'll cinch it, he's gonna suck.

Talbot needs to go to a team with a good goalie coach and resurrect his career like Dubnyk. Just find some stability and build it back up.

Edmonton needs to burn their front office to the ground. Find an outsider to gut their scouting and coaching staff. Bring in competent people and start it from the ground up.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Get Cambot back

Why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wowwwwwwwwww. I mean couldn't they have waited until end of the season to get better idea of what Koskinen really is?

I guess they came out from under the rock they were under for the last 25 years. 1 playoff series win in 25 years is just so LOL worthy.

 

[McRanger]

Never go full Chia.

Most teams couldn’t survive going half Chia.

 

[DaBadGuy7]

Looks like Panthers are doing their yearly 2nd half run now that Trocheck is back. Good to see, hopefully they might be a possible trade partner as well.

Could you imagine getting Borgstrom in a deal with them?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

This made me laugh because I could totally see that happening

He literally just gave him Talbot’s contract. I’m not sure Koskinen even had to ask for anything lol.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Could you imagine getting Borgstrom in a deal with them?

If Florida wouldn't give Borgstrom up for McDonagh, I doubt they'll give him up for anything else we would be offering.

 

[redwhiteandblue]

Ah I didn't realize that was the case. I'll just peacefully hope and tell myself they'd consider it for a combination of Hayes McQuaid and a pick with a salary dump.

I've always secretly found trade trees to be fascinating.

 

[Blue Blooded]

I've always secretly found trade trees to be fascinating.

Gaborik became Zibanejad.

Gomez became Namestnikov, Howden, Hajek and Lundkvist.

Messier became St Louis.

 

[Edge]

Just think, every time Chia does something stupid, there is at least a tiny part of Jeff Gorton that remembers the Bruins picked Chia over him.

And, to top it all off, the Bruins and Chia won a cup featuring talent Gorton acquired as interim GM.

Despite being from Finland, Borgstrom is the most Swedish name ever.

Unless there is a Borgstromson out there.

"They call me castle river and this is my son, son of castle river".

It goes without saying we need him on the Rangers.
