Trade pieces' stock going up. Wonder what kind of magic Hugo can pull off

Wouldn't think Harris is going anywhere as his stock rises.

 

[domiwroze]

The Marty effect.

This coach could win it all with a decent team

 

[GobigorGohome]

Byron looks good for 50 .

 

[BLONG7]

Weird how Byron still combs the hair, puts on the suit and hangs but Price and Weber are probably somewhere in BC hunting turkeys...

Thinking Weber and Price and their 15-16 years in the league earned their stripes......not to mention we all know they are done....no big deal really. Price would be in a pain management mode, and trying to fight addicition while playing with his kids.......
Forgot to mention, Weber is the property of Vegas now also....

Didn’t somebody say Drouin has like 8 points in his last dozen games? Hoffman has a similar PPG pace also in a similar span? Hughes needs to be working that phone. Dadonov has also stepped up recently.

Who am I kidding? All three will be on the roster after March 3rd…

Byron is also from Ottawa, I think, whereas price and weber are bc guys.

Byron just happens to be close to home.

Solidified ninth place in the wild-card race.

Nice game, Jake.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Oilers are so dog poo

Allen with a hell of a game in the first and second

 

[Ezpz]

I wouldn't worry too much. The past two games haven't been against the teams that make our schedule "difficult". Hopefully the decent numbers of the guys want to trade will allow us to actually trade them.

 

[jrom]

The 2 games against FLA without Arber are gonna be something.

 

[26Mats]

That’s pretty much where Suzuki and Caufield were picked.

Sergachev was 9th.

Bedard would be awesome, but there are good players available later. Just got take the right ones.

It's not always easy to pick out the good players later inbthe draft.

Gorton picked Kravtsov #9 when Dobson was still on the board. That year Dahlin were clear #1 and #2. You couldn't go wrong if you got one of those top two picks.

As it turned out we went wrong picking KK over Tkachuk. But if we had the 1st or 2nd pick, that wouldn't have been a problem. Now you could say Gorton is the one who picked Lafreniere and Kakko. I would just sayin response, yes some years the clear cut number 1 and 2's don't pan out. But that is far less often the case than picks 9 to 16...

 

[Hannibal]

So f***ing sad for Xhekaj! ****

Hope that if he needs shouldersurgery, get him the surgery and not wait like caufield. Get him full healthy for next season.

I wasn’t on board for that, but we better go and sign Lucic. I don’t f***ing care. We need somebody who can handle the day to dat fighting instead of a 22 years old with actual skills. HuGo better get their heads out of their asses and adress that.

yep. and if not, we're only getting something like a 4th round pick for retaining 50% of their salaries.

The best thing about Drouin, Hoffman, and Dadonov is they've been, on the whole, great for the tank this year. RHP, Belzile, and Ylonen, on the whole, seem to contribute more than them, and thus are worse for the tank.

 

[Dr Quincy]

RIP tank. This team is a joke. Mediocrity here we come! Can’t wait to watch us draft two scrubs at 10th and 14th

Buffalo and Edmonton have shown that the way to Stanley Cup success it to really suck for 5 straight years.

I think Reaves is also a UFA. I know it sounds counter productive getting a slug taking a roster spot on the 4th line, but we aren’t competing next year and we need someone other than Xhekaj fighting all the time.

 

[Captain97]

I'm team tank but again I have to say it. When you win games because of your U25 players you can't really be upset.

Dach I'd looking great, Suzuki is getting some points on the board, Harris with two goals. And maybe we can get something for Hoffman now that he looks decent again.

 

[morhilane]

You can add the Leafs, they made the playoffs once in 11 years before they got Matthews...and have been jettisoned in the 1st round since...

It seems that the only way superstars manage to win the cup is if they take a huge salary discount or are still on their ELC...

 

[Milhouse40]

This weekend has really not go the way that I thought it would be.......

But hey, have to see it on the bright side. There's 8 games left before TDL and it was now or never for some of our TDL trade bait, as bad as they are, to try to help the team trading them away.


Drouin has 9 points in his last 11 games
Hoffman has 11 points in his last 14 games
Dadonov has 6 points in his last 9 games

That could only help Hughes......8 games left!

Let’s go boys, make papa proud.

Can anyone tell me why the Harris hooking penalty was not nullified after the Draisaitl goal? Just asking for a friend.

Great question that MSL did not answer when asked at the post game conference

Yeah, that is a headscratcher for sure. By the way, my Father was a huge Provost fan. I'm 33 and from Michigan. My Dad's side of the family have been big Habs fans since the 1940's.
