What has happened to Huberdeau? He is so ineffective

What has happened to Huberdeau? He is so ineffective

This is the first Flames game that I’ve watched this season, but it seems like they play a lot of dump and chase, which doesn’t seem to suit him.

When Calgary signed him to that ridiculous contract,I was so happy as there were rumours the habs were starting up the Brinks truck and giving him a blank cheque to sign here long term.Was never a fan of this payer. Too uninspiring and unappealing.

 

[the valiant effort]

Hubie flubbed two gimme passes in that last minute. Deflates the hell out of the bench when they can’t count on you for that

 

[LesCanadiens]

Crazy and exciting OT. Fun hockey...

 

[waffledave]

I thought in shootouts if you lose the puck and it is no longer moving forward the play is dead?

Exactly. Calgary should have won the shootout.

 

[zx81]

Nobody wanted the win in OT and shootout between Leafs and CGY
CGY was just a tad more terrible.

 

[The Real Timo]

Damn... laffs won.

And his shootout attempt was weak too.
Kadri was not good as well. Very low percentage shot in ot and a pretty average shootout attempt.

I don't mind tossing those losers a bone occasionally.Don't want them to get a good draft pick

 

[EXPOS123]

Will be 28 to start next year. Will get an 8 year contract which will bring him to 35.

So you have to ask yourself how good he'll be for the first 4 years (28-31) and the last 4 years (32-35), and is it worth giving him 10M + per year for all 8 of those years.

What’s the youngest a player can become a ufa - 25?

Point it’s almost impossible to sign a star ufa at a 25,26,27 as they are rarely available

28 is a perfectly fine age to sign a great player like Nylander to an expensive 7 year contract . He’s been also pretty durable as well

Only the leafs can give him 8 years assuming no trade. 10x7 is worth the risk.

All explained here but it comes down to Flames D's strategy being stuck in 2005

Zadorov's agent tweeted this tonight

Vegas twitter poll tonight:

Vegas Golden Knights @GoldenKnights

first intermission poll do you put sauce directly on your fries or is the sauce on the side for dipping?

 

[McGees]

Crazy to think the Nylander bros were both 8th overall picks.

What happened to Alex?

He was in our range the year we picked Sergachev and I really feared we would take him. I someone knew he'd bust, something about his vibe. I remember seeing him at the airport after World juniors and got same vibe from him - busty mcbusterton

William Nylander pegs me as the sort that will eat it to stay in Toranna.
I think he's too much of friends with those guys.

However maybe he will be like his dad and just say he is gonna sign then bounce outta town.

I don't believe he will give the Leafs much of a discount. And the way he's playing, he probably won't have to.

Wow lol
You have completely forgot how his last contract negotiations went
It was ugly then
It's gonna be BEYOND interesting now lmao

 

[Chili]

Just looking at the top ten scorers in the league: No Canadian players.

Wonder if that has ever happened before?

Technically Brayden Point is tied for 10th

True - hope you are right...I wanna see them crumble.
Treliving is a bit of wheeler dealer tho so I could also see him find a way to dump salary

Yes, it's possible to trade for his rights though.

At any rate I think he re-signs. Though it will be tough with the cap.

 

[RabbleMasterBlaster]

I can't recall a year both conferences were so weak. There's maybe three contenders across the whole league. I'd guess there will be quite the arms race at the deadline. I would guess the flat cap prevented a lot of teams from plugging holes which creates more parity.

That's funny... Before the season started everyone was saying how much stronger the east got and bla bla bla. Games aren't played on paper and we're clearly seeing it.

There's a few things I noticed about this season:

- teams are much weaker than everyone thought they'd be
- there seems to be a LOT more shorties getting scored
- Goalies have gotten a lot worse across the board. It's almost as if there are far fewer teams putting emphasis on goalie development. And it's been a trend for the last while but we're seeing the results of this now. Goalies are bad man.

Leo Carlsson hat trick tonight
Connor Bedard 4 pts night yesterday
Adam Fantilli not doing too bad either.

Hope you all enjoyed those extra 3-4 wins stolen by the goaltender or won by useless bottom line players.
