Out of Town Thread Part XVIII

[1909]

Just like the year when Boston Picked Pastrnak and we picked Scherbak.....ahhhhh........it’s only one slot down.

I remember wanting Doan.....and of course Winnipeg snatched him the pick before our own.....and well, it was just one a slot back.....but we got........well, we all know who we got.

Every slot number counts.....Columbus losing is better for us then them moving on

Iginla was available... Serge Savard picked Ryan..........

I just think essentially wiping out an entire year of draft picks ( I believe they only have 2 picks this year), when there's a salary cap and young players are making more of an impact, at a younger age.

It was a massive gamble, and IMO, it backfired and had little chance of working out.

It was an aggressive attempt to make the most of their current roster, knowing that the Russians were probably moving on. It could create a hole in their prospect pool for awhile. If Duchene leaves, it's just one first rounder. I still see a lot of good players there Jones, Werenski, Anderson, Dubois, a nice core going forward.

Panarin has Floridaitis. It's an affliction that capriciously demands the exposure to warm weather year round.

Can't see him signing with Columbus, he wouldn't even commit when offered free dental services for life.

Or free vodka......and he’s Russkie!!!!

Must’ve been that highlight reel goal that he scored on that breakaway....

Man, what a swing and a miss that was.

I don't know...I'm more of the school of thought where I think...

If you felt you needed to add all those pieces to make the playoffs and advance far...

You probably never had a team good enough to get there in the first place.

They still have a lot of good pieces but the lack of picks will cause ripple effects down the line.

Only time will tell if it was all worth it.

I didn't think it was worth it after they made all their moves, my opinion didnt budge when they qualified for the playoffs and not even whe they beat the Bolts.

It's all good assembling the best team possible to head into the playoffs.

But playoffs, like it or not, is a lot of about matchups, momentum and a healthy dose of luck.

All things that don't require stripping your team of draft picks.

What miss ? Pasta was not available anymore. Scherbak was a "safe" pick back then. Not many players drafted after him in the 1st round or second round became all-star either.

Terry Ryan.

 

[1909]

Terry Ryan.

Sorry... I thought it's was about Pastrnak.

David Fischer was another huge miss !

 

[groovejuice]

Reminds me of this.....

It looks hilarious, but it's a smart play from the batter to break up the pitchout.

Today, it doesn't look like it was worth it. The run may have created a buzz in the market.

If I was a fan of the team , I would have faith in Jarmo. I remember him as a scout with the Sens. It seemed like each draft during his time there that the Sens were finding good European players that he probably had a hand in finding.

Mans i hate the Flyers but it's hard to not feel sorry for their fans ...

Not a single feeling of sorry towards any teams and any fans. Like when it belongs to hockey aspects. Compassion just for my and mine Habs.

One game suspension for McAvoy. (per tsn 690)

 

[Runner77]

Or free vodka......and he’s Russkie!!!!

I forgot about that. They did offer him free vodka for life, lol.

Panarin offered free vodka for life to stay in Columbus

I'm surprised the league suspended a Bruins player in the playoffs. I'm totally shocked.

He's a great GM....just not convinced he was the one who wanted to play all those chips, it's a tough position.

Just goes to show how minute the margins are.

Optics.

It 'looked' bad.

That's an excellent point. Jarmo always struck me as the conservative type. This looks like an ownership call.

[The Great Weal]

Would have been 4 if Tampa won the cup right?

 

[the valiant effort]

That’s an unfortunate revelation regarding a Stars win, but I’ll be pulling for them anyway.

Sharks/Avalanche (hoping for Sharks) vs Stars would be a great series.

 

[1909]

There was lots of complains about the 5 minutes penalty given to Eakin in the Vegas-San Jose decisive game...... Pavelski just lost 6 games with the injury that occurred on that play !

Anyway. Who has ever seen a team allowing 4 goals during a 5 minute penalty before ?

 

[1909]

WOW. Rangers gonna be loaded soon if it happens.

I am hoping to see a St-Louis vs San Jose series. At least one of them will have the opportunity to win its first ever Stanley Cup.

Dallas, Colorado (if they win) + Carolina or Boston have all won a Cup in the last 20 years.
