Thufir: May 19, 2004; "The fucking Mayans were right."

ThinkTank posted:

There have been 10 trades involving players to appear in an NHL game this year, not one of them has involved a player who regularly appears in the lineup. The esteemed list is:

Vern Fiddler (43 GP)
Tommy Wingels (42 GP)
Nikita Nesterov (41 GP)
Logan Shaw (37 GP)
Nail Yakupov (31 GP)
Mike Condon (31 GP)
Cody McLeod (31 GP)
Peter Holland (27 GP)
Michael Sgarbossa (27 GP)
Dylan McIlrath (5 GP)
Jonas Enroth (3 GP)
Steve Kampfer (1 GP)

I really wish the NHL would do something to start encouraging more trades, because that is stupid. Trades in the NBA are just as complicated, and yet they've had a bunch of big deals so far. Being able to trade cap space was supposed to improve things, but if anything they've got worse. The Hall/Larsson and Subban/Weber trades were entertaining as hell and surely the NHL must see that they're great for the sport? Constant excuses from GMs and an abject lack of noteworthy player movement is just a needless way to bleed entertainment from a sport already desperately short on casual fans.

Expansion draft might be an influence too, this year. Also every team thinks they can make the playoffs.

That's just the excuse du jour though. A few seasons ago it was "uncertainty about the lockout," or "with the cap staying static..." With an expansion draft coming teams have a chance to get creative and sellers can probably cash in on some top of standings teams looking to offload some superfluous guys. Each team is going to lose exactly one player, it shouldn't be that big of a concern unless you're in the situation where you're so loaded with talent you have to expose a can't miss top line guy. Whether or not you have to expose Eric Fehr shouldn't paralyze you from making any trades at all.

you can't blame general managers for being cautious about trading, i mean look at how the blackhawks or the penguins or the kings hosed themselves over with their aggressive trading, and who wants to end up like one of those teams. better to just build through the draft and be patient, just hoard your picks and develop young talent like winnipeg or arizona or florida

it's not like a bunch of teams weren't doing just that for the last several seasons for mcdavid/eichel/matthews, its just now most of those teams have gotten what they wanted and the 2017 draft is supposed to suck so nobody wants to tank for it

Chad Sexington: May 26, 2005; I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.

They fired Therrien!

quote:

Montreal Canadiens general manager, Marc Bergevin announced Tuesday the appointment of Claude Julien as the Club's new head coach. Michel Therrien has been relieved of his duties.

"I would like to sincerely thank Michel for his relentless work with the Montreal Canadiens over his eight seasons behind the bench, including the last five seasons when we worked together. The decision to remove Michel from his coaching duties was a difficult one because I have lots of respect for him. I came to the conclusion that our team needed a new energy, a new voice, a new direction. Claude Julien is an experienced and well respected coach with a good knowledge of the Montreal market. Claude has been very successful as an NHL coach and he won the Stanley Cup. Today we hired the best available coach, and one of the league's best. I am convinced that he has the capabilities to get our team back on the winning track," said Canadiens general manager, Marc Bergevin.

Claude Julien, 56, enters his second tour of duty as head coach of the Montreal Canadiens after assuming the role of head coach from January 2003 to January 2006 with a record of 72-62-10-15 in 259 regular season games at the helm of the team (holding a .531 winning percentage).

Claude Julien has coached 997 regular season games in the NHL (Montreal, New Jersey and Boston), including the last 10 season as the Bruins bench boss (2007 to 2017). Throughout his NHL career, Julien managed a record of 538 wins, 332 losses, 10 ties and 117 overtime losses for a .603 winning percentage.

Julien was relieved of his coaching duties with the Boston Bruins on February 7 after compiling a record of 419-246-94 in 759 regular season games, and a .614 winning percentage behind the Bruins bench. He led his team to the Stanley Cup Championship in 2011 and also reached the NHL Stanley Cup finals in 2013. He also led the Bruins to the President's Trophy in 2013-14 after racking up 117 points in the standings. In 2008-09, Julien was the Jack Adams Trophy recipient as the NHL's head coach of the year and, on March 7, 2016 he reached yet another milestone when he became the winningest coach in Bruins history with 388 wins. Julien, who earned his 500th NHL win on February 13, 2016, also holds the Bruins record for most playoff wins with 57. With a career 997 games, Julien ranks 27th among NHL head coaches (11th among active head coaches) and 21st with 538 wins (10th among active head coaches).

A native of Orleans, Ontario, Julien began his coaching career behind the bench of the Hull Olympiques in the QMJHL back in 1996. Compiling a record of 141-109-16 in four seasons in Hull, he led his team to the Memorial Cup in 1997. Julien also led the Hamilton Bulldogs from 2000 to 2003, earning a selection of AHL coach of the year in 2002-03. On the international stage, as a member of Team Canada's coaching staff, he won gold at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and captured yet another gold medal at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

Michel Therrien, 53, was named head coach of the Canadiens on June 5, 2012. He was the Club's head coach from 2000 to 2003. Therrien compiled a 406-303-23-82 record in 814 regular season games as head coach in the NHL. He led the Canadiens to the Eastern Conference finals in 2014. He also reached the Stanley Cup Finals as head coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2008. Therrien posted a record of 271 wins, 198 losses, 23 ties and 50 overtime losses in 542 career regular season games with the Canadiens (.567). Michel Therrien ranks 4th (behind Toe Blake, Dick Irvin and Scotty Bowman) on the Canadiens' all-time list for games (542) and wins (271).
