Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc

After all the "Trouba prop" from the Rangers Twitter the last days/weeks it wouldn't suprise me. Like this:

Yeah I guess, but that's because I dont think they see him as a 3rd line C and the top 6 winger spots are taken. Plus on his current contract Chytil should have a decent amount of value, so it would make sense including him in a trade. I can also see them keeping him to see if he's capable of taking the 2C from Strome, and shipping him out if he can't do that. Well this is just retarded lol. They don't even know if he can still skate and they are planning on giving him the same 1.75m when he's 36? I thought we had an incoming cap problem, tying up 1.75m to a guy we dont know will play a single game in 22/23 is kinda stupid.

He got caught with one lie so he doubles down and comes up with "Georgiev may not be a unanimously well-liked teammate" nice. Why do this guy want Georgiev gone so badly? ADA fanboy?

Normally I agree, but I think with Chytil its a bit different. The "problem" with him is that he's not suited to play 3rd line C, so either he moves to wing or he progresses to be a legit top 6C. Had they locked him up for, lets say, 4x4m: 1. He improves a lot and turns into a legit 2C. We now have a 2C signed for 3 more years at 4m. 2. He doesnt improve as hoped, and they trade him at the deadline or next summer. He's still a decent middle 6 C/W that wouldnt be hard to trade. (So either Chytil signed to a really good contract or he's gone) But with his current contract its either: 1. He improves and prices himselves out (or they have to sign him to something like 6m+ in two years). 2. He doesnt improve and they need to let him walk in two years. (Here its either giving him a market value contract in two years or he's gone) The way things are with this contract I dont see any way they can keep him after these two years (unless he improves drastically defensively and can turn into a 3rd liner, not very likely tho).

Agree. We all knew what they needed to do and it's exactly what they've done. - Opened up space in the top 6 for Laf, Kakko, Krav. A little underwhelming return for Buch, but its not a big problem. - Completely change the bottom 6 = Goodrow, Blais, (Reeves, Hunt) in, Howden, DiGi, Blackwell out - Big, Veteran 6/7th D = Nemeth, Tinordi Maybe they could've went for X instead of Y, but honestly, this looks solid. Maybe they gave Nemeth and Goodrow a year or two too much, but who gives a shit about that. There's no problem dumping those contracts if needed. They knew what they needed to do and did it without giving away any good assets or fucking themselves for the future. I'll give Drury a B- for the off season (so far).

Kreider - Chytil - Goodrow Blais - Rooney - Barron/Reeves They can score.

Who gives a shit about a swede when there's pictures of Josh's brazilian wife floating around here???

This. And Werenski is really good, I think some of you underrate him a bit. I'd take Werenski over Jones easily. And Fox still has a few years of RFA, so he cant demand as much. Unless he goes completely nuts next season and wins back2back Norris' I guess he signs for something around 8x8-9m.

Wow, I thought he would get atleast more than 1 year minimum contract. At this price I would take Smith over Tinordi every day. Especially since they got Reeves now too.

Probably not, but it could help the team in other ways. He got a winners mentality, Leadership, he's been to the SC final and he'll certainly teach them how to stick up for teammates. These are things that the team can benefit from years after he's gone aswell. As mentioned before - just don't make it a "Tanner Glass thing" and this is all good.

That's also how you end up not being able to sign players when they "show you". Buch this season, Stromer is next, Chytil the season after... I get it with Chytil and its probably the right decision, Im just saying at some point they need to take some "chances" and try to get someone on a bargain deal. I hope they have a plan with all the RFA's coming up (Kakko, Kravtsov, Shesterkin, Miller, Laf).

Not seen anyone say 5 minutes. 8-12 minutes maybe. And whats the big deal? You think having Reeves over Barron/Rooney for 10 minutes against Capitals will make a huge difference? Last year they had NO ONE to put into the lineup that could fight (for the 2nd Captials game). They had to put in rookie Barron to just look a little bigger. Now they got two players thats huge and know how to fight if that would happen again this season. There's no problem with the cap, they gave up only a 3rd round pick and they won't play every game. Again - everyone wanted this from the start, but every trade/signing/draft pick has been bad somehow. I dont get it.

well yeah, but if it does, he's gone in two years anyway. Thats the problem here.

I cant wait to see this madman run around and hit everyone. Maybe he can teach Kreids a thing or two aswell. And I guess you can make a 10min video about this in a couple of years lol

Honestly dont understand how people get mad at this. They have two 2nd round picks next year, who gives a fuck about a (hopefully) late 3rd? Tinordi won't play every night, neither will Reeves, but now we can atleast manage to dress atleast one of them at all time. And if we have a "Wilson situation" again next season we won't have to use Strome and Blackwell to fight the next game. Everyone agreed after last season that this is what was needed. Maybe they brought in one or two guys too many, but that doesnt really care since the cap this season is no problem. Out: Buch (cap and no place in the top 6 for him), Howden, DiGi, Blackwell, Smith In: Goodrow, Blais, Reeves, Tinordi, Nemeth, Its exactly what everyone wanted. A "veteran" 3LD, a 3rd line grinder and a 4th line face-puncher. I do have a feeling Chytil might be on the way out, and that they're looking at something like this: Laf - Mika - Kakko Panarin - Strome - Krav Kreider - Goodrow - Blais Barron - Rooney - Reeves Lindgren - Fox Miller - Trouba Nemeth - Lundkvist No prospects "blocked", but the team is much more suited to play "playoff hockey" than last year. That 3rd line could be a real identity line and that 4th line can be a really annoying "in your face line" and that top 6 is stacked with talent. Top 4 D's remain the same, but the 3rd pair went from Hajek - Smith to Nemeth - Lundkvist, that should be a huge upgrade.

WTF?? Edit: nvm, I misread that lol

Yeah, this doesnt really make sense. If Chytil now continue to progress and they'll be forced to dump him (like with Buch) because there's just not enough cap space to pay him what he deserves. If they went for something like 4x3.5m, worst case they trade him (maybe with some retention) after a year or two. Best case he progresses into a really good player and they have him on the cheap for a few seasons. If we want any "good contracts" they need to take some chances. Can't just bridge everyone untill they have proven that they're good enough, but at the same time prices themselves out.

Man you need to watch more TBL then. Point is amazing. Like Phil said, he does everything at an elite level. 28 goals, 56 points in 46 playoff games in the b2b SC-wins. That's fucking superstar HOF'er stats.

:rofl:

I've actually been involved in a similar case. I was 18, the girl(s) was 16/17. It was a party going too far and things ended up getting filmed. None of the girls said anything at the moment, clearly knowing that things were filmed (with flashlight in a dark room). The videos got sent around and one of the girls (that had a boyfriend at the time) regret what she did that night and claimed she was "too drunk to remember anything". She went to the police weeks after the incident and reported it as rape, eventhough it was clearly no rape. The videos showed it and her friends testified against it. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but I just want to say that there's a HUGE difference between a video (even if the girl claim she didn't consent to the videos being taken/sent) and rape and its important to remember that. There's no nuances with rape. Oh, and ruining a boys career and future over this is very extreme. He will be punished, people will remember what he did, but man has this been blown out of proportion. I don't know about you old heads, but this is pretty "normal" nowadays (no, im not trying to justify it, im just saying it happens WAY more often than people think). You should obviously be punished for it, but not get your life ended.

lol what? why?

Nah, Nemeth is gonna play. They dont pay a dude 2.5m for 3 years to watch the games on TV. You sign a guy thats not really good, but has a "use case" to a league minimum to be 7/8th D. Most likely it will be Jones and Tinordi as the 7th and 8th D. Jones is a small, puck-moving rookie so it makes sense that the other dude is an experienced 6'6 face puncher.

Looks like he deleted the tweet. Strange. He just said that TBL might do with Point what they did with Kuch and Hedman(?), by signing him a year before the current contract is up. He mentioned 8x9.5m.

Carp retweeted this

Maybe Dadonov to take Smith's spot so they can include him in an Eichel trade?
