I’m really looking forward to seeing him with our club Elvis.. podolzkin will actually be eligible to play before we finish the 20-21 season on his ELC/ Qualifying contact. .. and it’s a possibility that The KHL season and release of contracts will take place at times where Tryamkin could still sign with us legitimately to end the NHL 20-21 season. Pretty sure these 2 guys won’t miss a step in our game. Kind of interesting to watch Tryamkin progress this season under Bill Peters as his Coach. in exhibition play, looks like Bill is trying to use the full tool box of size / skill/ and skating abilities this young man possesses.

Hairy, I think the leafs signed a Euro/ Russian and have “loaned” him back to his Club in Europe. I wonder if we could have perhaps signed Nik for the next 20-21 season, and since the NHL is trying to start the 20-21 season in December (Rumour) , that would have allowed us his access and return as long as he came under the cap to fit?

It should have looked like a used car sales lot in the Blues box last night Deb, and that’s even thinking about how referees like to put the whistles away. The refs were allowing excessive liberties to take place which puts players on the injury list.. it needs to stop, and hopefully The officiating supervisors get involved. Out of all of this, the shiny spot to take away is the pack mentality that is starting to develop on this team, I don’t think I’ve seen it since the years of Odjick, Diduyck, and Momesso... and having said that,. I would love to see our boys wearing the Black and Gold in the next game.. would be nice if those jerseys were optional in the playoffs.

I’m all about constant change,. Like I said those players you claim I was bashing,. I was looking at as opportunities to get better. so you can agree it was good to move Luongo,. No? Do you not think opportunities exist that could have been realized, even though they weren’t? Your grasping for reasons to prove me wrong, And I’m laughing. i have my opinions , and no matter how much they hurt your feelings, those opinions will not change. If you can’t be progressive with your team outside of drafting, you get a status quo team.. an example of that is this year’s acquisition of JT Miller, which had a lot of posters and journalists pooping their pants lol. sure, go ahead ride Tanev until he turns to dust,. But I think most of him as a 5m player or better has turned to that. I’ll leave you with your feel good feelings, and a Stanley Cup out of the ordinary. dont get me wrong, I’d be happy to see this team win it, it’s more of the gainful experience for everyone a# a group that will carry them over the next 5 years,.. without a Tanev, of course

There are more players than Tanev to release than Tanev as a 1-1 ratio in replacement. ... and future wise let’s not forget Edler is gone in a year.. Hypothetically,. Heres 3 players on D that might make room for, let’s say a player of Petrangelo’s caliber.. Fantenburg 1m Tanev 4.5 m. Stetcher. 2.3m. ( 7.8m). Hughes Myers Edler Petrangelo This also leaves room for the D men in our system to appear, or risk losing them if we get tied up with contract with another aging player. Rathbone, Joulevi, Rafferty , Tryamkin, Breisbois. ... mix and match any of these 5 into the Hypothetical 4 above.. and create the time and space for Edlers departure, keeping a younger less expensive D man out of development, and clearing 6m at that point in time with Erikssons ?? (I think). our D needs to progress, not stay a constant.. and the constant of Tanev even as a 2nd pairing D man are his injuries, time lost creating inconsistent pairings, lack of physical presence and strength, and his age as a UFA in a league that is putting more money on its future to keep, than its past.

I’ve said we should have moved Luongo before we did, I said we should have moved Edler 3 years ago, and we should have, and I said we should have moved Tanev for E Kane 3 years ago to Buffalo , Tanev was the player asked for to complete the deal. i stand by all of those opinions. I’ve never had a whipping boy,. But I see the mistakes and hesitation in Tanevs game.. even the block shot last night, which just missed, he gave 20 feet of gap , time and space on a 2 on 2 situation,. another in his own end where he gets first puck control and coughs it up,. Usually flung away blindly in his own end.. yes, I see his mistakes, and there are better players for 4-5 mil.. This his UFA year will want more when the league is changing mid stream to offer RFA’s bigger money and longer term in a more youthful league. I’ll leave your comfort of Chris Tanev and insecurities of not wishing to move a player through attrition or trade to allow something better to appear.

Total team effort breeds consistency.. Love Miller. What draft pick? Miller has done more this season for this team than any pick might accomplish over the next 5 or more years.
