ThinkTank posted:McDavid's already had one disappointing playoffs, a meh World Cup and a bad Memorial Cup. He's one more poor performance away from the dreaded (but wonderful in this instance) NOT A BIG GAME PLAYER narrative. Kid got 100 loving points in his first full season in the NHL. The media might tear him up but anyone who actually plays hockey definitely wants to get on board with that.

Of course, he's phenomenal. Didn't stop people labeling Thornton and Datsyuk in the same way and that crap followed them for years and had a pretty negative impact on their careers through (largely) no fault of their own. Ditto Ovie, and now apparently the Caps are seriously considering moving him despite him being arguably the 2nd best player of his generation.

I got so accustomed to the Flyers under Holmgren doing things on trade deadline day and such that I keep expecting them to make a move for the sake of making a move Holmgren: "We aren't going to do the thing" Me: "Good, we need to build up the prospect pool" *Holmgren does the thing* Me: O poo poo Hextall: "We aren't going to do the thing" Me: "Good, no need to lose depth on prospects for a rental" *Hextall does NOT do the thing* Me: Uhh, wtf is this Shawn Cotureier fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Jun 16, 2017 |

I feel bad for Despres. I thought he was awesome when he played for the Penguins, and you never want to someone as young as he is (or anyone else) drop out of the league because of a concussion. It's a shame.

Great young forwards going for solid defensemen. Meanwhile, Chris Tanev and his great contract remain where they are

Yaya posted:Great young forwards going for solid defensemen. Unless Benning can get a top prospect or a top 5 pick, what's the point of moving Tanev now? I get that he'll likely be of little use if and when this team is ever competitive again, but he won't evaporate if he's not moved before July 1st. His NTC is 8 teams I believe, and he'll still be a hot commodity at the deadline this year and next year. There's no reason to rush into a deal unless it makes perfect sense to the team. I kinda like Benning's stance on Tanev at the moment.

They should assemble the "retired" rings into a MegaCup at the HHoF, instead of putting each one on its own shelf. Then bring in the cup winning team of that year and have them take a group shot holding the MegaCup over their head.

Yeah someone did the math not long ago and said if they kept the rings it would be somewhere around 9-10 feet tall. An entire team hauling it around the ice on their shoulders like a huge log would look amazing

I know this because he encouraged his brother to sign with the Jets. Or maybe he just hates his brother.
