Additionally, Jimmy added Matt Hunwick for 3 years and 2.25 per. 8 months later Reaves is dumped for Brassard with a laundering through Vegas, but mostly important...a 1st to Ottawa that became K'andre Miller when New York traded up to grab him at 22 in 2018. The Hunwick deal was whatever but Jimmy then dumped him with Conor Sheary to Buffalo for a conditional 4th. Thennnnnn he signed JMFJ. Point being Reaves kicked off the poo poo shower. Everything since has been bleeding assets to 'fix' mistakes and then making new worse mistakes. those lovely trades and signings also resulted in them letting Bonino walk, which opened up a hole in the 3rd line that they never really managed to find a fit for until Eller this year you really take for granted your 3rd line shutdown center you can give crushing assignments to who can still put up even strength points until you don't have one and your entire system falls apart

That’s some recency bias for sure. Eichel is a great hockey player, but he’s not a generational talent. Neither is Jack Hughes almost certainly. Another great player, but not absolutely incredible. McDavid for sure, and Matthews probably should be there just for his incredible scoring performances.

This Islanders team seems doomed to finish either as a pretty weak wild card or a pretty meh draft position. I don’t envy Lou’s son when he takes over because apparently being a mediocre GM for a decade plus lets you choose your successor. I hope he tries to keep the no facial hair rule enforced lol

I guess this is the proper thread for me to post about how mind boggling that 3rd period was for Bowness. Why go back to the same lines that got dominated for 3 games in a row. I hope he retires. I don't think Chevy has the guts to fire him

DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:agreed! not sure if he missed the cutoff or what Supposedly Lindros just fell outside. Same with Ovechkin. I am unsure how Ovie's production translates, but even if you just focus on the numbers, Lindros was dominating the OHL. So I don't know why he missed out being in the same group as the others. I am not doubting there is a lot of talent coming into the league, but I'd also question my model a little more harshly if it started pumping out this data.

So how long of a new contract does Lou sign Clutterbuck and Martin to now that they are both UFA? But seriously, I am looking forward to the end of "THE BEST 4TH LINE IN HOCKEY" finally. They were cool when that was mostly true, but the last few years have been rough. Now we just need to see if Roy continues to play 3 centers on the 1st line with one of them having been a 4th line center for the past 12 years.

Probably because, like most high-rep coaches, he wants to be defacto GM. And yeah also it's a safe guess he wants to be the highest paid coach in NHL history by far, and knows if the Canes won't make it so, someone else will.

I don't even know where Brind'Amour would go if it's not Toronto and it's not Seattle--and I have a hard time seeing him go to either of those teams because they both have firmly entrenched GMs who won't likely be cool with him picking his own staff and being heavily involved in picking his players too. But then again it may just be a matter of piling up the bricks of cash until he says yes, which Toronto in particular might be willing to do. Also hilarious because Brind'Amour has a longer track record of underachieving in the playoffs than anyone in the league besides Keefe. e: I can't imagine their ownership would come close to paying what he'd want, but Brind'Amour grew up in Ottawa.....

Ya Ottawa or New Jersey cause he's close with Fitzgerald. Dundun doesn't think he should pay front office staff much, that hey are all generally replaceable. Most of their front office is hilariously underpaid relative to other teams.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Ya Ottawa or New Jersey cause he's close with Fitzgerald. Oh right I forgot about Jersey, good call. Yeah that's probably the team that's already communicated (in a totally deniable way, no of course we're not tampering) to Rod's agent a willingness to pay megabucks. Now all of a sudden Rod's asking price went way up, imagine that. I think Dundon will end up begrudgingly paying him, though. Letting him walk would cost him more money than ponying up to keep him would. If Rod walks, Carolina probably bottoms out fast.

“I think it’s all but done,” Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon said in a telephone interview with the News & Observer. “(General manager) Don (Waddell) and him are working on it. I don’t think there’s anything there. We’re in the playoffs and they haven’t focused on it. They’re doing it together. I said OK to almost everything they’ve asked me for. They’re just getting through the last little stuff.” Waddell declined to comment. “It’s in Tom’s hands,” Brind’Amour said in a text message to the N&O. lmao

The pain of getting bounced in the first round is constant, all encompassing. Death’s legacy, a reminder that I no longer live, my gift from Lou and one I willingly share with these 4th line griders on other Metro teams. My hockey stick speaks until it has run out of words. Thereafter I use its red-hot blade to slash Metro skaters with the mark of death. It is a holy mark, but no absolution comes with it, only two minutes in the box.
