Miscellaneous NHL Talk V9.0 - 2018/19 Regular Season

[LegionOfDoom91]

Why in the hell would St. Louis trade arguably their best player with term left for a declining pending UFA as the main piece?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Where are people seeing this nonsense?

I searched Twitter and the only mention I could find of it was a certain miserable O&B.net poster referring to Darren Pang on a podcast. Even that sounded like second hand info.

On a positive side, I found him and got him Muted before we ever crossed paths there.

The owner should just fire Armstrong on the spot when comes to him with that.

 

[deadhead]

There are rumours St Louis is thinking about selling, but nothing firm.
Like the Flyers, they'll probably wait until they're sure the season is lost.

Trade value tends to go up in late January when GMs know they have a good shot at the playoffs so an overpay won't be throwing away assets, and there are more firm suitors for players.

 

[Curufinwe]

I can't remember who said they wouldn't trade the 2nd overall pick for MacKinnon in 2017, but that just shows how judging a top pick's potential, even after four full seasons, can backfire.

He's now one of the very best players in the whole league.

Yeah, people get down on Patrick because he isn't Laine or Eichel, but they didn't have the injuries that slowed Nolan down. Sometimes it takes a little time.

Wilson just kicked Olesniak ass big time...

Ovechkin and Crosby yapping at each others... love it

 

[Adam Warlock]

Wilson just KOd Olesiak.

Simmonds got his ass kicked.

 

[lancer247]

Wilson just KOd Olesiak.

Simmonds got his ass kicked.

Heh?

 

[TheLegendkiller]

Wilson just KOd Olesiak.

Simmonds got his ass kicked.

He really didn't. They drawed. And Simmonds has beaten Wilson before.

 

[baudib1]

If we tweet about it enough maybe we can make the Simmonds-Kapanen deal happen.

 

[tictactoe]

Heh?

Pretty sure it was TKO.

Any update on Morin’s rehab

I think simmer has more value than we think as well. I’d say we think he has a 1st plus B prospect value, so he may have more than that. Maybe stl is looking to get him and play him to build his value and then flip him. Maybe they actually want him for leadership qualities etc. The leafs would likely pay a high price for Simmonds.

Last I heard he’s skating with the team but still on pace for getting back February some time. He’s been skating for time though.

No contact?

No contact?

Not sure

Hard to fathom Simmer has that much value after watching him last night. I love the guy but he looks done.

Petey for Simmer seems ridiculously bad for St.Louis. The add would be huge.

Toronto makes some sense for toughness but he's not bumping anybody out of their PP1, so that diminished his appeal somewhat.

Hard to imagine Dubas hasn't looked at his declining production like we have.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

That was a mean KO by Wilson!

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

RE: Keefe

I'm really intrigued by Keefe. I hope he's on Fletch's short list.

 

[wankstifier]

Oleksiak got caught and then seemed to hit his head on the ice. Pretty woozy when he got up. Did not look good
