COACH TOTORO SAY REFEREE CAN BANISH WHISTLE TO LAND OF WIND AND GHOSTS!

Jordan7hm posted:

Isn't Beaulieu a pretty marginal defenseman? He turns 25 this year, has played 5 pro seasons, and has amounted to basically nothing. If he wasn't a first round draft pick nobody would be blinking an eye at this trade. Dumping Beaulieu means that they can protect Benn or Davidson, who are probably both better players right now.

Beaulieu is a legit 2nd/3rd pairing D and not someone you should be giving up for virtually nothing.

I don't know if he's a 2nd pair d, he seems like 3rd pair/powerplay guy at best. His offense is ok but his defense by every metric is pretty bad. He's like a poor man's Justin Schultz, can't be trusted defensively but also not as good offensively.

e: but also Sharks got a 2nd for a defenseman that might not even be an NHLer so go Bergevin keep riding the Habs into the ground.

That's still way more valuable than a 3rd round pick, which more than likely will produce nothing at all.

Oh yeah I don't want to say that was a good trade at all, they should've kept him if that's all they could get, he's just not a great defenseman and no one there seemed to like him.

Pavelec is UFA this year

If Dallas trades one of their goalies (plus prospect) to Arizona and buys out the other one they have a ton of cap space for two years to load up and take a run while Seguin is still on his sweetheart deal and Bishop is hopefully good. Even then Spezza and his 7 million dollar contract come off the books. I think they'll be fun to watch this offseason.

A Mike Smith + Brian Elliot tandem could be really good or really poo poo. This will be fun.

I'd be stunned if Elliott stayed, especially since one of the reasons he was fine with being traded to Calgary was being the #1 goalie. I think Smith is a placeholder while Calgary finds out if Gillies or Parsons has what it takes.

If Vegas opts not to take MAF, Arizona could be destination for him. I don't know the terms of his NMC but I'm pretty sure he would wave them if he was going to start somewhere; I can't really see him staying here in Pittsburgh anyway.

If that happened, at least I could get one of the greatest jerseys ever, the original logo coyotes jersey, with MAF's name and number.

Nesterov has no offensive upside and actually shirks from physical contact. You just need to send a forechecker his way and he will let him collect the puck uncontested.

also for purposes of comparison, if the Penguins traded Ian Cole for a 3rd rounder I'd be pretty bewildered and pissed. Cole isn't very good and only has one year on his contract, but nevertheless a 3rd round pick is basically nothing and who the hell is playing those 20 minutes a game next year?

Yeah but I think everyone around the league understands that Tocchet is not really a coach but rather a sinecure

e: Jacques Martin must really like it in Pittsburgh because I have to think he has more than once been offered both head coaching gigs and raises to be an assistant elsewhere, over the past two offseasons

I wonder if Bales was upset over the MAF situation? Either way it'll be interesting to see who replaces him.

Or maybe Matt Murray is too good to need a goalie coach :v:

Mage_Boy posted:

The Penguins probably benefitted from that rule more than any team while it was still active so I don't think it makes a difference either way. Plus AFAIK the compensation rule only extended to hiring staff away to be general managers or head coaches so the Penguins would have only been compensated for Botterill anyway.

Edit:

I don't know who this guy is but apparently he's worked a lot with Murray before so I guess the Penguins are all in on Murray as their guy as if there was any doubt

No offensive upside? He had two less even strength points than Shea Weber this year in half the ice time last year. Granted he was pretty much gifted offensive zone starts (although less so in Montreal) because he's not great on defense (like Beaulieu). He was also a positive possession player and goals for player in Montreal.
