He’s also on Boston’s 2nd line with Krejci and DeBrusk.

That doesn't negate my argument.

Your argument wasn’t good enough to need any negating.

Easy to see:

Bring Fleury up when we trade Pesce for Nylander.
Keep PDG as the 13th guy if he clears tomorrow.

I mean, given where the Nylander situation is at the moment, this might actually not be wrong.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I read today that Nylander is meeting with Dubas in Zurich and they are considering a bridge deal also. Not sure how accurate that is.

I read today that Nylander is meeting with Dubas in Zurich and they are considering a bridge deal also. Not sure how accurate that is.

In Zurich, Nylander arrives at the fine restaurant. The maitre’d escorts him to a table reserved under the name “Dubas”. He sits, and waits. He fidgets with a fork. Time passes slowly.



In Toronto, Dubas chuckles softly to himself as he drifts off to sleep. He has turned off his phone.



In Zurich, Nylander checks his watch. 20 minutes has passed. He sighs deeply as the maitre’d approaches.

“Pardon, monseiur. A letter has arrived. It came with a message that I should deliver it to this table.”

The postmark is two days old. Inside, there is only a single slip of paper.

Phil Di Giuseppe has cleared waivers and will remain with the #Canes right now. They can assign him to Charlotte without waivers at any point in the next 30 days (given that he doesn't play 10 games).

Enough with the fanfic foreplay, let's get to the good stuff.

There's an article by Dellow on the Athletic about Peters and some of the style changes he's brought to Calgary that I found interesting. I know, some of you are sick of hearing about Calgary, but I liked the charts showing the differences in the Canes this year under Brindamour. Icing the puck a lot more, less strong side faceoff takers, etc. I think the Winnipeg loss can be blamed on a bad icing, but a more aggressive approach is also helping the offense in general. It's interesting to me looking at some of the risk/reward ideas and how different coaches treat things.

Now we'll know who to blame when half the team goes on IR this season.

Brad Malone?

Does this mean Summer did write the Teravainen story?

 

[Canes]

Brad Malone?

You mean Mr. Bryelle Muller? Luckily he's playing AHL hockey in the armpit of California so he won't have much of a chance to even injure our prospects.

Ruutu though? I'm worried about him getting too close to the players and giving them Ruutuitis.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Wow

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Wow

Welp, that didn’t work out. He must want to go back and make more money.

Toronto will trade Nylander to Carolina?

The superficial side of the Carolina Hurricanes situation

At least on the surface, the Hurricanes are a perfect trade partner. The team is stacked on the blue line and four deep on the right side with Dougie Hamilton, Brett Pesce, Justin Faulk and Trevor van Riemsdyk. In that regard, the Hurricanes could let go of a right shot defenseman and still be able to fill three slots. In addition, at least if the Hurricanes want to jump start the seemingly accelerating rebuild, the team could use another legitimate scorer or two. So at that high level, a trade with Brett Pesce and William Nylander as the principal components makes sense for both teams.

[MinJaBen]

Well, that was short lived.

 

[Chrispy]

Well, that was short lived.

That's one way to reveal he's not being called up to be the healthy extra D.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I get where he's probably coming from. He's only played 1 out of 4 games and had scrubs like Robertson,Renouf, and Carrick playing ahead of him (not that they didn't deserve it, they're solid AHLers, and probably better than him right now, and I'm not even factoring in pairing, role, etc.). But for a young guy, I could see not wanting to stick around for that.

As of May he's been assistant coach to Finland U20 team.
