Around the NHL XXXVI - Final Countdown: 2018 edition

Thompson to the Habs.

Montreal has traded a 2019 fourth-round pick (CGY) for Los Angeles Kings center Nate Thompson and a 2019 fifth-round pick (ARI).

Montreal Canadiens Acquire Nate Thompson

So LA traded Nate Thompson to move up about 10 spots, give or take, late in the draft? Seems kinda pointless.

Thankfully Nate Thompson waived his NTC.

What fool of a GM would ever give Nate Thompson a NTC?? Oh ya, nevermind...

Shredding salary and rebuilding, along with the Muzzin trade. They're not done. Guys like Carter are saying this might be their last season, last season with the kings or last season on a different team?

Phaneuf is on pace for roughly 5 points.

Kovalchuk is in decline.

Isn't a full NTC and has been traded twice with it. He's still a good 2 way player when healthy.

2-way would imply some level of offensive ability. I'd call him more of a good defensive player at this point.

Bergevin loves shaking up his 4th line though (going back to that deadline where he added Martinsen/King/ect. I'm not sure a guy like Thompson moves the needle for them, but at that price it's worth a shot.

Thompson - Weise - Deslauriers 4th line is almost as bad as Pyatt-Dumont-Thompson.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Nate Thompson's contract was Pierre Dorion's love letter to Guy Boucher.

At least the Habs 4th line will actually hit someone and agitate if need be.

No he's really not. Unless 6 pts in 53gp is your idea as "good 2 way player".

Malkin just swinging his stick at Raffls head.

Ummmmm 67s goalie Mike DiPietro is starting for the Canucks tonight, for some reason

I'm sure the NHL will just call it strike one.

 

[Silencio]

He's coming home boys.

He's coming home boys.

Not if you know who is still here.

 

[Sensung]

Sharks win again and are now 1st in the West and 2nd in the NHL.

No reports of their locker room being broken.

That's because Karlsson is injured and not in the locker room

In all seriousness, this is truly a Cup or bust year for San Jose, especially if Karlsson has told them he won't talk contract until after the season as is now being reported.

Karlsson is still waiting for Eugene to sell.

Hopefully the Lebreton settlement sees Melnyk ride off into the sunset and EK can come back to his forever home.

They’ve definitely sold low, remember when Talbot was the next best thing?

Stop dreaming

Pettersson vs Karlsson to watch for game 2, sounds good.

Kalrsson with a beautiful assist on the PP goal (one touch pass), and at the origin of the second goal too, intercepting a Vancouver pass and launching the counter-attack.
