Well, yeah, and that Hall trade wasn't in any way one-sided. Any GM would be smart to give up Hall for that return.

ThinkTank posted:Uh okay no one was saying Taylor Hall is what he'll get but, Chris Tanev is gonna cost you more than half of what Eric Gudbranson did. I probably only watch 3-4 Canucks games a year, but from memory and looking at some numbers, that's a bit of a bold claim. Granted, he probably looks worse on paper because of the poo poo playing around him, but there are plenty of guys that do what he does for shot suppression while also putting up points. Off the top of my head, Ekblad, Stralman, Parayko. Not to mention the likes Karlsson, Letang, Hedman, and like 5 guys in Nashville. Pure shutdown d-man just tells me they play a lot without putting up points. If you're gonna ascribe value, "pure shutdown guy" isn't exactly a selling point for me. Eating minutes is great, but driving offense is how you win games. All that said, I would love Tanev in Dallas, I just don't agree with you guys on his value. Again, that said, the Hall trade happened so there's no ceiling to the stupidity of any given GM. Ginette Reno posted:Larsson stinks. Just because Edmonton made the playoffs does not make that a good trade. They still would have been way better off keeping TayTay rather than a defenseman who broke even in CF and had 19 points. that's my whole point :shh:

Don't forget the nmc! Gotta keep all that goalie talent in Dallas locked down. Though legit if they have bishop two seasons ago they're a cup threat. Oh well, Nill stands by his decision re: lol, who even needs defenders?

Uh, call me crazy, but the Caps are a very loving good team and, imo, should do everything they can to stay the course. Holtby sucked and they got back luck. What are they gonna do, gets some +2 luck gloves and trade away one of the best keepers alive? It'd be dumb to do anything but try again next year.

Anyway, trip update! The Scots don't really know what hockey is. A bartender said he watches sometimes and that ice hockey is like Hurling but more violent. However, once you've befriended them, hooligans will passionately talk trash about any team/thing you're against; so there's at least a bit of anti-Pens sentiment out there in Glasgow. The Dutch dig hockey. Lots of Bruins fans for some reason. Must be all the drugs. Games being at 2am local sucked, but pointing at priceless art vol. 2 turned out okay.

Nill needs to acquire something for the blue line. Too many forwards to protect and nothing special on D. If he pulls what he did last offseason and just shrug at the idea of rebuilding the d-corps he needs to go. There are enough teams that need to lose a d and and he's got enough offense that losing a piece to improve the back end would work out for both parties. Probably going to lose roussel or eakin one way or another, which is a bummer, but he better not simply lose one to Vegas for nothing.

Colorado. He's quite good and on a decent team maybe tops out as a 30/40 guy. He's definitely better than his 18 goals last year suggest.

Kilza posted:I'm not going to hit the panic button over this just yet. First and foremost, the Oilers aren't signing anyone before Draisaitl/McDavid, and they can't re-sign McDavid until July 1. So that means they won't re-sign Russell until he hits free agency. So he'll have time to talk to other teams who'll pay much more than the Oilers for him. Second of all, notice that the key words are "looking to give". This doesn't mean that Russell and his agent are looking for that money/term. If I remember correctly, he wants at least $5 mil, and given that his agent priced him out last free agency, I can see Russell's agent refusing to sign a $4x4 deal since the salary isn't high enough. Thirdly, this whole thing supposedly hinges on Eberle, who the Oilers can hold onto for a year until the cap forces their hand and who can easily return a better defenseman in a deal. Fourth, having Russell for 4 years doesn't even make sense when you consider the fact that the Oilers have guys like Nurse and Benning growing in the NHL, and guys like Caleb Jones and Bear hitting the AHL who can grow into NHL roles. So even if the worst case scenario was to happen and he was to re-sign in Edmonton, he's getting traded by the end of year 2 at the latest. Fifth, Edmonton is run by idiots.

Pornographic Memory posted:it's entirely possible that vegas picks more goalies than they actually need just so they can flip them during this offseason or later too. it's a virtual certainty that some team is going to find out during the season that their goaltending is a lot worse than they thought it would be and looks to vegas who stocked up on like 3 or 4 starters/guys with strong starter potential Vegas should draft only goalies. Can't get scored on with 6 keepers on the ice.

I was itchy but my boss said I still had to go to work. Dallas sweaters continue to look sharp af. They changed the collar a bit but kept the laces and it's good. Looks like they cropped the green on the away shoulders a bit but that might just be the pic angle. They wrote the name of the colour or the collar for... a reason. Aaaaaand they got speed holes. Gonna go so fast. https://twitter.com/DallasStars/status/877346072145743874 https://twitter.com/DallasStars/status/877351023123324929 We'll need a new ginger to bring out the Irish look once Vegas selects Eakin. And also a player with a Pokemon name. E: actually the black hem/arm stripes look bigger too. Not bad, basically the opposite of what the oilers did with the opposite result (it's better).
