(Official) Around the NHL Thread 9.0

[Johnny Hoxville]

Other than Barrie, that is an ugly list. Good lord.

 

[Kipper933]

EJ has been good but there's a lot of risk to a 7-year deal for a 26-27 (?) year old. You can't really predict how players play is affected after they turn 30

He still has the ability to be better, but I would agree with Hoxville that he's still lacking a bit defensively.

 

[Taranis]

This Patrick Kane situation is blowing up on twitter over comments made by the accusers lawyer.

 

[Calculon]

This story is now sadly more compelling than last seasons cup final.

Seidenberg out with injury for 8 weeks.... Jeez the Bruins defence Is reallllllyyyyy bad now

I wonder if they're interested in re-acquiring Wideman...

 

[tmurfin]

Chara left their game tonight with an injury as well.. Oh boy

Also, hate to rub salt in the wound but I bet they're wishing they had a young top pairing dman to pick up some slack right about now.

 

[Lunatik]

I wonder if they're interested in re-acquiring Wideman...

Why would we be looking to trade him?

 

[FlamesFan18]

nvm.

 

[tmurfin]

Why would we be looking to trade him?

Seriously, we just lost Brodie to injury, not saying it's serious but it goes to show how quick it can happen, and people are still wanting to trade Wideman?!?

If anything Boston wishes they had the luxury of having the extra guys like we have.

actually?.... wow

 

[tmurfin]

actually?.... wow

Yup, upper body, will be evaluated tomorrow

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I wonder if this is his last season.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Pretty sure Chara has a permanently torn LCL. He is in for a rough season.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

This story is now sadly more compelling than last seasons cup final.

Gong show isn't quite strong enough to describe the situation.

 

[Lunatik]

it's waiver season!

[Johnny Hoxville]

Think we claim Freddie?

 

[FlamesFan18]

Think we claim Freddie?

We really shouldnt, he is awful.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

We really shouldnt, he is awful.

Maybe we can trade Raymond for him.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Maybe we can trade Raymond for him.

I would rather keep Raymond.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I would rather keep Raymond.

I wouldn't personally, I don't see him having a spot on the team this year and I'd love to move his contract. I'd also like to see him go somewhere that he will get an opportunity to play and hopefully have a good year. I don't think he's better than Byron, Shore or Granlund and they make less than he does and contribute more IMO.

 

[Yarborough]

Open season on Waivers

 

[Calculon]

Raymond for any of those players would be a massive steal for Calgary. Reality is, Raymond is pretty much done here.

Just can't see Treliving waiving any of Byron, Jooris, or Shore so Raymond can skate really fast into the offensive zone, fall down and then give away the puck. Both he and Bollig have been made redundant. Trading either or both would be nice but waivers is the most realistic option.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

We should claim Acolatse to make 100TG happy.
