The 2019-20 Around the League Thread

[Canucko]

Go find the interview I’m talking about, watch it, and then come back to me and tell me which player you think Shero wanted.

Do you have any idea how many interviews he gave? Post the interview, otherwise I’ll just go assume they wanted Hughes more, which isn’t a leap considering they drafted him,

 

[Canucks LB]

Knock it off guys
I would appreciate it

 

[timw33]

I'm still completely stumped why we didn't go harder after local guy Brett Connolly over Michael Ferland in FA.

I was told that Gusev was the next Panarin though and trumps Miller.

Gusev is playing on his teams 4th line, play him with Pettersson and Boeser and see what happens.

Making judgments after 4/5 games is definitely the prudent thing to do in this situation.

He was demoted to the 4th line because he's butter soft and absolutely sucks at defence.

This is another case that teams on paper don't translate on the ice. I saw a majority of posters saying NJ is having a masterful rebuild with J.Hughes, Subban, Gusev, and Hischier. However, it looks like they're trending towards the next Oilers. I would take Canucks line-up over theirs and they had TWO first overalls.

Jack Hughes has played 6 NHL games, jesus talk about overreacting to a small sample size.

The Canucks are .500 and people are in here acting like they’re cup contenders. They’re really fortunate to be .500 too...

 

[Addison Rae]

Gusev is playing in the bottom 6 starting only 30% of his shifts in the offensive zone, making I told you so posts!! After 6 games is absolutely hilarious.

Who here is acting like they're cup contenders?

Pettersson 2 points in 4 games. Gusev 2 points in 4 games. I guess they're both BUSTS. Knee jerk reaction my god.

Pettersson is already proven at the NHL level. Gusev was reigned as the next Panarin without even playing an NHL game. If you can't see the stark difference, then I'm wasting my time on you.

I've seen some bad posts on here but this one is up there

 

[Fire Benning]

Love judging players based on 6 games.

Love judging players based on 6 games.

I also love judging players before they even played an NHL game (ie. Gusev is the next Panarin)

There’s nothing wrong with projecting a player who has yet to play in the NHL. It’s necessary through the draft and when pulling players from other pro leagues. Yes some people likely went overboard but it is far more ridiculous and indefensible to conclude anything about a player after only a few games.

did you just say it is way better to overestimate a player based on no nhl games than to underestimate one based on some games?

what?

I think he is saying that people should just relax to coming to any conclusions after 6 NHL games, right Pip?

Although that is what we do here at HF Boards.

 

[wetcoast]

Wow Buffalo shuts out the Dallas stars 4-0 and Minny wins 2-0.

Looks like only the Devils and Black Hawks are winless but the Hawks have 3 games in hand.

He only said that if you think the words project and conclude are the same.

We were getting I-told-you-so posts about Myers literally in game 1. Game 1 of a 5 year contract.

there is no difference to most posters here. also no difference between opinion and fact.
