Out Of Town Thread Part XXII

[vokiel]

I’m sure there’s a poster like yourself for every team board that thinks this way......

No team goes 82-0
No teams GA is Zero at the end of the year
No team has a PP of 100%
And no team harvests 7 future NHLers in a draft, year in year out

I’m awaiting the team that drafts at 100% rate

And no one in the league would ever use any of those arguments to justify their failures, unless they knew they were about to get fired.

I could provide you a detailed list for where it comes from, prior to last summer.

Oh, I know that list is long

No need the purple pants is already revolting enough

 

[angusyoung]

With a healthy Matthews and Nylander from December on........ the leafs were a 17th place team. lol

I could see them battling for a play off position this season.

I can live with that.

Was it purple like this??

There's something wrong with his head..

OMG! the joker returns!

 

[japhi]

If you paid attention, you would notice all the hardcore critics of Bergevin, myself included, are all very positive about the players we drafted.

Need I name a few, or can we lay this fallacy to rest?

Right on, good to hear others are excited about the future. Put that fallacy to rest, looking forward to checking the forum tomorrow and seeing lots of positive stuff

The frenzy starts July 1st, not June 30th

“t-24”

ya think ??

 

[Rapala]

So the out of town thread is also the bash the Bergevin thread?

Can that talk be left to the proper thread so I can avoid the toxic repetition

Can't avoid the toxicity it's self perpetuating somewhere in our front office.

I thought the purple pants were a joke and a shop until i saw another picture of him posted on Twitter by someone official where he was wearing the purple pants in some sort of gala or something.

Toronto and Ottawa always have those big, useless trades.

 

[jedimyrmidon]

Ottawa is trading for Zaitsev *and* Brown?! Are they actively trying to help rid the Leafs of bad contracts?? MB should be on the phone with Dorion trying to offload Alzner.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Disappointing, I wanted Toronto to feel the pain on the Zaitsev contract. I guess there's a good chance the Ceci contract will be ugly.

It's not useless to Toronto. They're gaining tremendous cap space with that trade. I wonder if they attempt to resign Hainsey.

The left D was destroyed. Not so much the right D. Subban-Petry or Weber-Petry doesn't make a huge difference. It is the left side that suffered the most. Who would you had kept on left side that was so valuable ? 39 yo Markov ? Party Boy Beaulieu ? Unproven Sergachev ? Emelin ?

I am so tired of reading posts like this. More excuses... more on why we can't do things...

You pick up Subban and you've now turned a weakness into a strength on the back end. You also free up Petry (who's on a great contract and would have loads of value) to be dealt for somebody on the left side.

When you can get elite talent you do it. Panarin, Subban, Hall, Kessel... you make those moves all day long. You don't sit there and try to come up with excuses why it can't be done.

And Subban would've been an awesome move for MB in particular because it would've undone a mistake and he could've laid claim to the fact that he'd now had both players.

Last week you were telling us Kessel was unavailable. Yesterday he's traded...

Stop saying there's nobody to get. Stop saying that they won't come here. Stop saying trades can't be made by us. It's BS.

 

[DAChampion]

Did people on this forum discuss the Galchenyuk-Kessel trade? What was the consensus?

Subban would have love to be back in Montreal.

It's always the same story, we have a huge gaping hole in the lineup and he does nothing about it. It used to be center and now it's our D. For two years now we've had the worst left side in the NHL and with Weber out our D was among the absolute worst in the league overall.

For Pete's sake... fix the D. Get a legit number one guy on the left side. If he actually does this then the critics will quiet down a little. Go actually DO something to fix the D.

Gostisbehere is supposedly available. Pony up for him. He's on a great contract and we have forwards to trade. Get it over with and then you can let guys like Suzuki and Poehling into the lineup. All of a sudden we'd be a pretty decent team. Until he fixes that D though we're a bubble team at best.

I don't like bashing MB. I'd love to say he's done a good job. It's just frustrating watching him sit on the sidelines every year while we have these huge holes.

They're gaining like 1.5 million? Ceci is going to demand 5M.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Was posting this in another thread but it probably belongs here.

I sincerely hope Lou offers Marner 13 mil as revenge for Tavares. I don't expect this to happen (I'd be shocked) but my God would that ever be entertaining.

I don't understand it from Arizona's perspective. They aren't winning anything right now so why add an older player?

Totally get that there's a new owner and he wants to make a splash but this move doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me right now from their perspective.

As for Pittsburgh, I'm guessing this is more of a cap move than anything. Personally I'd have tried to hang onto Kessel if I were them. Kessel's really good and it's not a coincidence that they won back to backs as soon as they traded for him.
