Miscellaneous NHL Talk V8.0 - 2018/19 Regular Season

[Stizzle]

That Strome pick was such a choke by Arizona

Don Maloney was a feeble old man. Perlini and Strome were such obvious bad picks.

Don't forget the Bruins definitely offered picks 13, 14, and 15 overall for the Strome pick. The Bruins badly wanted to take Hanifin, the hometown hero. Don Maloney feel shame.

Dale Tallon is getting jealous.

The deal is Strome. If he turns into a 50-60 point center -- not even a 3rd overall star, which shouldn't be his expectation anymore -- Blackhawks win by a lot. God knows they're not unwilling to play kids a lot and go trial and error. His Arizona underlying stats really aren't bad. I did chuckle at his faceoff numbers being any sort of factor.

One underrated factor is the Hawks have a god awful PP. If there's one skill I thought Strome would for sure carry over, it was being a good PP player, wherein he only had to hold his own 5v5. Again, his PP numbers for the Coyotes have been decent. And yes, DeBrincat chemistry. It's an interesting trade at least. Very much wait and see.

Schmaltz isn't going to play with a Patrick Kane level winger in Arizona.

If they put him with Clayton Keller, he can come a little close though.

 

[Oskar Man]

I like this move for the Hawks but it's definitely a risk

 

[Striiker]

Both fanbases are mad.

 

[The Rage Kage]

Both fanbases are mad.

The hallmark of good trade.

 

[GKJ]

I don't really get that trade for either team

June 23rd, 2017 - Laurent Dauphin & Connor Murphy for Niklas Hjalmarsson

Reminds me of when the only three teams we traded with were the Coyotes, Hurricanes, and Lightning.

I would say Arizona won all four of those by at least a small degree.

 

[Curufinwe]

Fortunately for Hextall, Don Maloney really screwed up the 2015 draft.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I am fine with trade

Schmaltz is soft and frustrating player who refuses time and again to shoot puck and gives up on puck battles a lot

He has played awful this year and may be looking for big RFA longterm deal which Hawks are clearly not sold on giving him and appear to have grown frustrated with his play

Schmaltz is also atrocious at faceoffs so there are legit reasons to think he has no future at position longterm and will be best served as a winger

Strome in my limited views is no worse then Artem Anisimov at skating and with some work can improve his skating to be solid IMO. He has shown major improvement at faceoffs and has good size/offensive skillset that if he can find role/chemistry with Hawks he provides us with 2nd line C longterm

Perlini has good shot and has potential to be a 25-30 goal guy in right situation

Hawks are rebuilding and they seem more willing to bring in two kids with high upside but warts rather then going forward with our kid with upside and warts

 

[Curufinwe]

Alzner on waivers.

As someone who had Schmaltz in fantasy, dear lord, if this guy would shoot the puck at least 50% more, he could be something that would be good and worth more but he just f***ing doesn't.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Who wins this. Schmaltz is good isn’t he ?

Perimeter player who is hesitant to use his shot.

I hope that era just ended.

I'm old enough to recall when lack of shots was used to say Couturier's ceiling was a 3C.

I'm old enough to recall line of Rinaldo Talbot and Rosehill and they still weren't the worst in the league at the time lol.

 

[tictactoe]

Possible replacements Pronger, Fletcher, Mark Hunter, Lombardi or Ron Francis.

tom wilson en fuego.

And then Homer traded Talbot for Downie to fix the 13-14 team who were in even worse shape than this one.

 

[Tripod]

tom wilson en fuego.

He is on fire.

@Captain Dave Poulin loves him.

I have said many a time I wish we had a Wilson/Wood type.

Flip scored again too...on a 57 point pace.
