God I hate Alex Tuch. Don't get me wrong I would love him if he was on the Avs, but as it stands now I can't stand his stupid face.

DancingMachine posted:They're 4-1 vs. the east though to be fair they haven't played the best teams in the East. (Carolina - L, Penguins, Penguins, Rangers, Capitals). They're 2-2 against the other good teams in the west (Jets, Avalanche, Knights, have not played the Stars). I'm not sure "The West sucks" is a reason to think Kraken are frauds. Shooting percentage and iffy goaltending seem like reasons to me to be skeptical they can maintain the current pace, but the 5 on 5 numbers look pretty good and it would be surprising if they lost more than they won going forward wouldn't it? Looking up and down their roster there's quite a few players I would feel real comfortable betting that they won't continue producing at their current pace. Maybe not everybody regresses at the same time, and they can keep it moving along. Or they could pretty easily hit a streak where they lose 10 in a row.

I'm thinking I have to take a break from watching the Avs until they start getting healthy. It's difficult to watch them get housed by the Flyers and recognize the more talented team won.

Claiming Megna seems so pointless I almost have to assume it was done out of spite.

If he gets another 1300 assists I don't see why not.

Cartoon Man posted:If they were static I wouldn’t care but when they’re animated it loving sucks rear end. The static ones are worse because of the lack of motion blur. At least with the animated ones there's so much noise on the screen is difficult to focus on any one thing that's wrong with the picture.

rex rabidorum vires posted:Uh what? Anaheim wasn't anywhere near the playoffs last year. They weren't even close to competitive in the worst division last year. March 14th, the other teams had games in hand, but the Ducks were 4 points back from the Oilers and 3 back from the Stars.

Jamwad Hilder posted:I dunno. The Ducks are bad but they're bad on purpose. It's easy to forget that they're basically icing a NCAA roster, in terms of age (that's an exaggeration, but like half their lineup is real young). Zegras, McTavish, Drysdale, Terry, and Lundestrom already has the makings of a pretty good core, and Terry is the oldest at 24. They have some other decent prospects in the pipeline too like Olen Zellweger and Nate Gaucher. Then you figure they add one of Bedard, Michkov, Fantilli, or Carlsson this summer and I think they'll turn it around pretty quickly. They have the potential to be scary good in a few years. They're young, but their contract situation isn't great for a team that's miles away from the playoffs. Zegras, Drysdale and Terry are all RFAs this offseason and are going to get paid. Then they are going to have to replace almost their entire D corps with whatever cap space is left.

Jamwad Hilder posted:They have 13 million in space right now and Klingberg (7M) Shattenkirk (3.9M) will almost certainly be traded/not re-signed. Maybe Adam Henrique (5.825M) and Kulikov (2.25) too. They're still going to be bad, but having young players called up to fill roles won't be a problem for them. Like Olli Juolevi, remember that guy? Apparently he's in the Ducks system now. The cap won't be a problem. Zegras might get paid but Drysdale and Terry will get bridge deals I bet. Terry's already on his second contract, he's not signing a one year(?) bridge deal. Given the market for young defensemen who are worth a poo poo, you are absolutely going to have to give a 7-8 year deal to Drysdale. eXXon posted:If you're a team giving up 4+ goals against per game, replacing your entire defense sounds good actually. Imagine the guys who can't crack the lineup on that team. Now imagine having to play 2-3 of them every night.

Matt Zerella posted:Hunt is fine if he's on the 4th line. Ask anything more of him and yes, he sucks. It's a real weird trade for the Avs, and just kind of seems like they are doing a solid for Hunt. Presumably they moved him because they are happy with Meyers, Foudy and Hudon and want to keep those 3 around as guys start coming back from IR. But, I don't get the point of getting Malgin back in return.

O don't know if you can blame the PP on Maurice as it officially died in the playoffs last year.

This year the east is at least interesting if nothing else. I could swear the 8 playoff spots were locked up by Christmas time last year.
