Around The NHL - The Craig Morgan Vacation Watch

[RemoAZ]

Hmm if they need to dump Johnson for cap room hope we're in on that.

 

[KG]

Whaaat. TBL is going to be monstrous

 

[Mosby]

The rumor seems to be NYR as the third team and taking back Callahan.

Lacking a blue check mark.

The East is going to be a fun watch next season. If this happens TBL is going to be a force along with Toronto, Boston, Pittsburgh and Washington. Columbus and Philly are in the mix too. Can't wait for the season!!

He's legit though. Some smaller time types like radio hosts don't bother getting verified. Most of the media/digital media people with the Coyotes aren't verified for example. But he later said this:

I think Florida Panthers are a dark horse in the race too.

What the f***ing f***.

This makes me hate the Hayton pick THAT much more

What the ****ing ****.

Seems like Halifax disagrees. I wouldn't be surprised if the NHL gets it's way but I think there will be a little back and forth before it happens.

Imagine if we had Zadina. Ah. What a good summer this would have been.

 

[Matias Maccete]

I've liked what I've seen from Hayton. I was livid at first, but the more I see of Hayton the more I like him. The news of other teams having him ranked very high helped reassure me that we couldn't have have traded back and picked him too.

Particularly because we still need a RW. Chayka needs to address this still. Needs to get done this offseason.

Here is for the hope of your post will age horribly

Yup. Sure glad we went with Strome over Marner!

 

[RemoAZ]

Yup. Sure glad we went with Strome over Marner!

Can't help thinking the people in charge at that time wouldn't have helped him develop nearly as well as he has. Just hoping they haven't f***ed with Strome enough to make him force his way out of town.

Sigh..... excuse me a sec.... gotta go hide my toaster.

Seriously happy this team can't afford EK65. Trading for him now should be worse than what the Panthers did when they signed an injured Bolland to a big contract. After all, for the Panthers, that was just money. Trading for EK now would cost you money and assets.

Also happy this blueline looks so good, but happy for not trading for EK anyways.

Bolland wasn’t the best defenseman in his league, in his prime. I’m not saying I want to trade for EK. I don’t. But he’s pretty amazing.

Calgary was a nasty team when Mike Smith was putting up a touch above NHL average goaltending. Once goaltending went back to those sweet 2015-2017 years this team fell of the rails.

Nothing like dominating possession, shots, chances and time in the offensive zone, to have a quick 3 on 2 turn into a 3 goals in under 15 minute slide).

Tried to warn them...

That’s the establishment line but I disagree. It’s time for the Coyotes to start concentrating talent. Looking at talent as a quantifiable asset, I would rather have one 1200 talent-point player than an 800 and a 400 talent-point player combination on the roster. It’s much easier to replace 2 lesser talented players than one high talent player.

Injury did Mike in.
The backups weren’t even close to acceptable.

 

[_Del_]

He is unbelievably hot-cold with a history of groin injuries.

When he's on, he's amazing. When he's hurt or just bad, he's... not helpful. Mentally weak. He also wears his frustration on his sleeve, and the diving got old.

He's still a starting goaltender who can steal games. Just not a great one. In a field of headcase goaltenders, he's near the top. Easy choice to move on from that contract.

Calgary can still be happy if he can stay healthy and keep the valleys from dropping too low. But at full price, I imagine we make a deal to move him ten times out of ten.

Calgary is crazy if they don't bring in a decent backup for when Smith inevitably misses 20 games. Kari Lehtonen is right there. 1 year, 1 million.

Lets hope Raanta can play as many games as Smith did last year. Raanta played in 47, Smith in 55.
