I'll be going to this one, hopefully DeAngelo plays.

I lied, ticket prices went way up, I blame spring training. I did get tickets for next Sunday's game though.

 

[Spirit of Lindgren]

I'll be going..but I never miss.
I should
I'll get the guy next to me sick
Had a 100 degree temperature two days ago
Gotta go.
I too hope to see Deangelo out there.
Apologies to whoever sits next to me.

I'll be going to this one, hopefully DeAngelo plays.

The pairings McLellan tweeted this morning were:

OEL-Murphy
Goligoski-DeAngelo
Chychrun-Schenn

Looks like Connauton, Burmistrov and Jooris are the scratches.

 

[Mosby]

Louie in. Smitty must have Eichelitis.

I have had this game on my calendar for months because I thought it could Doan's last home game with the Coyotes. As the deadline gets closer he seems less likely to move as his value has dropped so much. I was hoping that he would take a quick run to win the Cup so I had someone to cheer for in the playoffs.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I'm going to cheer for Torts. One of the few coaches remaining that don't muzzle themselves in pressers.

I like those pairings, maybe with Schenn switching with Murphy if Murphy has an off game. I'd prefer Burmistov over Holland but Burmistov hasn't even quite as good lately so it's not a huge deal.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Holland is terrible, so yeah..he's a severe downgrade from Burmistrov

Neither Murphy or Schenn is capable of playing effectively with OEL, so that really doesn't matter in the switch. Glad they put DeAngelo back with Goligoski, they were a lot better than what we've seen pairing OEL w/DeAngleo

Scratching Burmistrov is idiotic. Not scratching Hanzal is idiotic. Dave Tippett is an idiot.

 

[doaner]

Wasn't burmi injured last game?

 

[MIGs Dog]

Thoughtless criticism is idiotic. Oh, and fire Tippet.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

With Louie in goal tonight, bet the over his glove.

Then I take back my first sentence. Sentence two and three still stand.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Not scratching Hanzal is idiotic.

How many games before the trade deadline would you scratch him? I think you said he should have been scratched last game, so that would be at least 3.

If I'm a GM interested in acquiring Hanzal on 1 March, but he's missed three straight games, does that increase or decrease his trade value?

 

[SniperHF]

Been so edgy lately, I know it's the internet and what not but still



Think of the dog on the trampoline before hitting submit

How many games before the trade deadline would you scratch him? I think you said he should have been scratched last game, so that would be at least 3 .

I'm usually not one to worry about this but if he's not scratched (or traded already) the 28th there's something wrong there

If I'm a GM interested in acquiring Hanzal on 1 March, but he's missed three straight games, does that increase or decrease his trade value?

The way he's played the last month and change It wouldn't matter since it would be pretty obvious why he was sitting. Heck we traded Z a couple years ago WHILE he was injured

It decreases significantly, and possibly to the point of making a trade impossible. Doing so tells other GMs that they should avoid trading for the player altogether.

No one trying to acquire Hanzal will be unaware of his injury history, and his value is already diminished from where it would be if he had hit the 70-game mark a few more times. But if you sit him now, other GMs will either figure assume he's currently hurt and the Coyotes are being less than truthful about his health, or they'll reason that he's too fragile to pin their playoff hopes on.

This is basically why I feel an actual injury would be less harmful than sitting him while healthy.

Will it be done at 3:00 AM or 4:00 AM?

 

[PhoPhan]

This might have just become academic

I knew I should have added the "unless there's already a deal in place" caveat.
