Out of Town thread. Part XX

I just spat out my food.

Lebrun on The Athletic writes about a few things around the league. One of the tidbits are that he has some sources telling him the Jets are listening on offers for Ehlers. He'd be such an amazing target for Montreal. I doubt he gets moved. But it would be fun to fantasize.

"A few sources have suggested the cap-crunched Jets are listening to offers on Nikolaj Ehlers, among others. The speedy winger, 23, has six more years on his deal at a $6-million cap hit. I would think if Winnipeg did move him it would be for a defenceman so they could protect themselves against a trade of Jacob Trouba and potentially losing Tyler Myers to free agency."

Brad Marchand looks even more rat-like with a helmet and visor on. How could someone like him even break down crying like that? He makes himself look like a little rat bitch.

But if you ask Brad Marchand, Brad Marchand's tears taste real sweet.

He's a player I just can't seem to understand, tons of talent and with absolutely no need for the Sean no talent Avery type of behavior but yet he can't seem to help himself. He must have really been beaten down somewhere along the way.

Fully agreed. Although he's less of a pest than before, he can't help himself. He reverts back to that POS. When he focuses on hockey, he is one of the best at his position. He's got all the tools necessary. He can skate, he can stick handle, he can shoot, he can pass, he isn't afraid to go into the dirty areas.

Check out some of the on-ice training that both he and Sidney Crosby and Nate Mackinnon do together in Halifax during the summer, the clips are on Youtube. He has amazing skill and outstanding ability in tight checking, every bit as good as the other two, I wish that he would just cut the crap.

it's a Bruin thing ,of the older era.... Lucic Thornton Chara Marchand era...they all played their parts......if he was drafted by Detroit unlikely his game would involve that.

He is not well liked in the Halifax area so I don't know, it might just be him.

As we all know,Big Bad Bruins was a thing in the 1970's.....and recreated again with Lucic Chara Thornton etc...Marchand he was born into that(role) ,to be " the new " little Kenny "Rat" Linesmen" from the old days in Boston... media in Boston they feed the hype ...and he had Chara and Lucic and Thornton to allow him to do his(dirty) things, and they take care of him ..
Again, if he was drafted by Detroit , they would have made him play the game straighter, not the form into Boston "Rat Kenny Linesmen " style ..IMHO

few examples of the Boston and media building up and hyping

I think Marchand is now tied with Eric Lindros for the most public tears in NHL history.

How can he be such a cocky arrogant ashole 90% of the time and then break down crying when he can't win? It actually seems like in my non-professional opinion at least that he is bipolar or something.

Termination?

Termination?

Buying it out.

Well, that's not what written in the tweet...

Well that's what it means......Funny to see Bergevin still hanging to Alzner.

[the valiant effort]

Retire to your cottage in PEI, Dion. Spare the league and its fans of your ilk.

Well that's what it means......Funny to see Bergevin still hanging to Alzner.

I'd rather hang onto Alzner right now. Buyout or trade in a year's time maybe. Buyout now doesn't make financial sense for the team.

That makes sense. Also, Byfuglien isnt getting any younger. Ehlers hasn't shown much in the playoffs so far in his career, which could explain why the jets would use him as their trading chip. That sounds like a rumour with some meat to it, theoretically.

If Alzner really wants to play in the NHL doing this is his best bet.
