Pre-Game Talk: WEEK 23: Post Trade Deadline. New Players, New Team, And A 3 Game Canadian Roadie. @Flamers, @Van, and @McJesus

[Bill Peckerskull]

Lehky still sick

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[Gumballhead]

The Landeskog tease. Ugh.

He’s not going to play until next season but he will be doing the Tour de France.

 

[Muffin]

Guessing Nuke moves onto the top line. Who plays with Mittelstadt and Drouin?

Oof.

I would assume Olaf gonna play 4C

Mittelsteadt is asking for trade as we speak.

 

[Avs44]

Are they trying to tank Mittelstadt?

 

[Gumballhead]

Imagine if we’d not made the trades we made, it’d be like last season all over again.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Surely they don’t load up the top line with Lekhonen out.

 

[Mooserton]

Imagine if CMac got Gunetzel.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Lehky still sick

I just want to know if he likes Fatty better than Ryjo.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Surely they don’t load up the top line with Lekhonen out.

That would be a dumb ass way to make Casey's transition difficult.

 

[Pokecheque]

Imagine if CMac got Gunetzel.

Well he's still hurt so he'd fit right in.

 

[sethro109]

[RoyIsALegend]

You mean surely they do, right?

This is Jared Bednar. He will run his top guys into the ground, and if talent is thin, he will put all his eggs in one basket.

Rightly or wrongly, we should know how he operates by now.

He did eventually split up 9296, but it took a long time. We'll see..

 

[Foppa2118]

Cale's an example of overplaying the stars too.

Though they've dialed his 5v5 minutes back a lot this year. My guess is to manage what's likely his hip injury that didn't heal over the off season, that he's been playing through.

He'll have to play more though now, because Bo averaged 37 more seconds than Cale at 5v5 this year and was 2nd on the team behind Toews, and last year Bo was 1st.

Hopefully he's ready to play heavy minutes again. A lot rides on the play from him and Toews.

His name is Sean Walker..

Or is he already injured as well?

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Maybe if Walker has an outstanding playoffs, RyJo gets his name on it as a thank you for providing us Walker.

I think if I was an Avs player and they were going to put RyJo's name on the cup, I'd ask them to not include mine.

 

[TanguaySauce]

I don’t know why I’m complaining because I do absolutely nothing to contribute, but I wish we still got non-emergency GDTs.

@TanguaySauce where ya at my boiii

Florida on a work trip haha but if I remember this, I got you next game

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Didn't figure he'd join them tell they got back from Canada.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Kovalenko kept dual citizenship, right? No visa needed to start playing, just Bednar's trust, right?

I believe once you're born in the US, you're always an American citizen

 

[NateTheGreat]

So atleast Lehkonen’s on the trip. It will be a tough one tonight.

I don’t want Fourgiev tonight, I want the JUICE. Too bad it’s a B2B.

 

[GeoRox89]

I believe once you're born in the US, you're always an American citizen

I don’t know what the birthright rules are in the US but I do know you have to go through a whole complicated process to actually renounce US citizenship. I’ve known a lot of duals and a few of them who had it (either because of their parents or birthright - not sure which) but had spent basically their whole lives in Canada ended up going through the process because they were sick of having to file an American tax return as well. It’s a big enough pain that most people don’t do it unless they’re going to end up paying taxes to a country they never intend to live in

 

[Vaslof]

Any Finn bros here, what time is the game tonight? US changed clocks..
