If You Could Remove One Current Player From The NHL, Who Would it Be, and Why?

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

If he was still in the NHL my answer would’ve been Cody Bass. Idk now though.

 

[Paris in Flames]

While I don't necessarily want him gone from the league, as a Leafs fan I would love if Pastrnak got the flu before every Boston/Toronto game.

He just takes over and dominates every time.

 

[dkhockey]

Marchand..... ryan reeves 2nd

pos goons

 

[Petrouth]

Bryan Little

 

[Machinehead]

Doughty. He thinks his **** doesn't stink.

I know somebody from the GTA who went to grade school with Doughty. He ate crayons in second grade.

 

[The Shovel Penguin]

Who’s Tim Walsen?

He's now been removed. He really was that bad.

 

[pettersson]

Connor McDavid.

Muhahaha

:-( that would be so sad for hockey.. and I hate the Oilers.

 

[Beville]

Marchand, or Wilson.

From my team though? Borowiecki, or Ceci.

 

[Pens x]

Wilson

But it would be nice to never hear from Carcillo again.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

T_M W_LS_N

I'd like to buy a vowel

Yeah, f*** Tam Walsan! What an asshole.

 

[Maukkis]

So many choices...

MacKinnon: probably the most damage I could do to a divisional rival with one quick strike.

Matthews: increase in personal satisfaction from watching a certain fanbase melt down.

Subban: still not over last year's playoffs.

Fleury: the above times 95, which is somewhat close to Fleury's SV% against the Jets in round 3.

Heiskanen: similar case to MacKinnon, but with the added benefit of getting rid of a couple extra years of him compared to MacK.

Ceci: potentially the worst defenseman in the league. Truly deserves a mention, him.

M. Tkachuk: getting ahead on making one potential playoff matchup bearable for the next decade.

Marchessault: nothing against the guy, but it would only be fitting for him to have such a interesting career path to the top, only to be wiped out by a random linguistics student in a blink of an eye.


Going with MacK. Remind me to choose Hughes next year.

 

[Incognito]

Obviously Tom Wilson. He's a menace to the health and well being of everyone he plays against. Obviously there are other plays that would fit that description as well, but he's the most egregious of offenders in recent history.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Gary Bettman even though he’s not a player, oh wait he sure and the hell is.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

Matthew Tkachuck because he's a rat that turtled on Kass.

 

[Dirty Dan]

David Pastrnak hands down

 

[A91]

Oilers fan - Obvious would be Lucic.
But taking away Gibson in Anaheim would see them be a lotto team so that would be nice. Also makes it even easier to be a playoff team in the Pacific.

But yea pretty easily still Milan Lucic

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

McDavid so Crosby can be the best player in the world again.

 

[Goose]

I like how you purposely tried to make a Tom Wilson hate thread without saying Tom Wilson.

Justin Abdelkader. Get that contract outta here.

Lol what is with people thinking I made this as a Tom Wilson thread?

I really didn’t. I’m not going to say I love Tom Wilson, because I don’t, but he’s not even on my Top 10 list for candidates for this thread.

 

[Telos]

Doughty. He thinks his **** doesn't stink.

Eh, Doughty is the pretty much the opposite. He revels in how much his shit stinks and is tickled when he makes sure everyone smells it

 

[Jtown]

Claude Giroux, because then i wouldn't have to watch him waste his talent away.

 

[Machinehead]

Claude Giroux, because then i wouldn't have to watch him waste his talent away.

Tbh, I was thinking about Lundqvist for the same reason.

I wanna put him out of his misery.

 

[Mrb1p]

Matthews, just so I don't have to hear Leaf fans drool over him constantly.

Went in hear just to say that.

Close 2nd woulve been Erik Karlsson cicra 2015.

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

For a Flames fan, the obvious choice is McDavid.

But by removing him, I rob the world of an exceptional talent.

So instead I remove Darnell Nurse - forcing Edmonton to draft Ristolainen, making them just good enough to miss out on the McDavid sweepstakes in 2015.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Hard mode activated no saying Tom Wilson

Yeah no

Wilson.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Brendan Leipsic, I'll leave it at that.

But considering he'll be out sooner or later, I'll just say Ryan Kesler.

Tom Wilson as another alternate answer.
