Rush17 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Kevin Woodley tsn1040s goalie guru just was on. We should share that interview link when it pops up. It sounds like Vancouver and Green in particular are not happy with how Nilsson approaches team practices. He said something along the lines the team has been trying to just get rid of him. They essentially do not his mentality and want to move him out. The interview when uploaded will do a far better job explaining it. I am multitasking at the moment didn't retain it all. Sounds like Green wants him gone. We got Bachman who can fill in if Demko needs more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You heard it too eh? Sounds like Woodley is pretty confident they just want him gone. It seems now the season is lost Green wants to find out who can have the mindset Green wants. He's going to be very vocal in who needs to go. Nilsson appears to be victim number 1. Hutton and Pouliot both apparently lacking that intensity and focus in practice too.

Recover the 4th? Does that mean Demko gets called up? 46 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: a spot for Demko 44 minutes ago, erkayloomeh said: So who would the backup be ? I'd imagine that we'd have a 'lesser' backup coming back from whichever team we trade with (they'd need to clear a roster spot and shedding the salary wouldn't hurt either). Demko may see some games under that framework but it's no guarantee. We could also end up signing/trading for another/different backup in a separate deal.

Low end. Given he has a year left after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyg43 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Package deal islanders Vanek, Guddy, Hutton? collect a 1 rst an a second pick also grab a D prospect and a filler goalie from islander farm or prospect system who can play now in Utica? i would be delighted to grab two picks an another aha goalie +++ It would be good for both teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Green is a tough coach who expects full effort. Everyone knew this of him before he signed here. I love this, he's holding players accountable. Maybe Nilsson is part of a package? (Vanek/Hutton/Gudbranson and Nilsson to ?) Not really sure which teams need a backup.

So clearly some heads are going to roll. Jake will be protected since he's still a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b3. Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'm not sure him and Greener have the greatest coach-player relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nergish Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Nilsson has been frustrating to watch all season. Huge, solid stance, good positioning, nice edge work. He's even played a small handful of great games. He just doesn't have that X-factor required to be a standout professional athlete, and your starter needs to be a standout. Markstrom is closer, but not close enough. This news about Green not liking Anders' approach to practice speaks volumes. The guy just doesn't get it, and will likely never be a starting netminder as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekey Pete Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I wouldn't be concerned with the return, getting anything for Nilsson would be a bonus. We've seen what Jim can do with picks outside the first round. All Nilsson's doing now is keeping the bench warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I'd call lazy practice habits a 'goalie controversy'.... but it isn't good. Its too bad the story has come out now but there were other teams interested in him as a backup in the offseason so maybe there's a shot at moving him.

peaches5 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I would be trying to shop markstrom.. his play has picked up again he might be worth something. Nilsson will be worth absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality middle 6 player and a top 4 defenceman They hold 2 firsts and 2 seconds. Both 1sts could potentially be lottery picks. Cough cough package deal cough cough Perfect -- Nilsson, Vanek, and Hutton on the way, and we'll even take cap dumpage back (okay, not Ladd unless we get more back). Whatever it takes, give us a 1st please. How 'bout a Goldy, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt that be amazing...i cheer for the flames to lose, now there would be added incentive. Imagine getting a lotto pick with that first - as the result of Calgary missing the playoffs - and we draft the better Tkachuk with that draft pick that originated with the flames. LOL!

Way to drop his value. Us sharing that here probably doesn't help. But apparently it's a commonly known fact according to Woodley. The other teams know we want to peddle him.
