      Really good to hear, I hope Brock comes back stronger than ever. Glad I got to see him play live this year.

      agree with @King Heffy

      no way LA deals Doughty for anyone but Mitch or Mathews.

      It is the Leafs though..they could always throw in 5 1st rounders :lol:

      Matthews for Doughty actually makes sense.  Laffs are desperate and have empty cupboards.

      Not one for gossipy-rumours..but I hear Nlisson argued with Roussel about bad pims. Ruse then ran down his Missus, with the language of love. Nils flipped the banned-Byrd, & AR promptly hacked it off!

      picks or maybe packaged with Hutty? dunno. I'm not overjoyed with today but its not a disaster either. Its more of the wait and see variety.

      I see today as a sideways move.  We got two guys, who are likely better than Baer and Goldy, but who aren't really going to be part of our rebuilt team.  They are just (IMHAO) slightly better placeholders.

      Unlike the U.S., where we keep score of everything all the time, Norway puts kids in sports but doesn’t let them keep score until age 13. The idea is to make sports part of their social development so that the motivation to stay involved is to have fun with their friends, not winning.

      At the deadline though you often get higher value then one expects. Personally Im hoping for a straight across trade of Hutton and Domi

    3. Green Building

      Green Building

      Yeah, that depends on the market. This one is shaping up to favour buyers more than sellers, but that trade would be intriguing if TG or TC felt we already had a replacement for Hutton in waiting.

    4. RetroCanuck

      RetroCanuck

      Holm and Pouliot now, Juolevi next season. 

       

      Say you trade Hutton this deadline and Pouliot or Holm excel with more minutes then you know your set at LD that offseason, don't need to sign anyone and can start Juolevi in AHL. If you don't trade Hutton you may not know what you have in Pouliot and Holm and could lose one of them.

       

      I agree though that you need to get good value. I think my minimum value for Hutton is a second round pick

      give him time this season

      he seems to start slow

      he has 3 points so on a 40 point trend

      that is acceptable

      if he had 2 goals and 1 assist instead of 3 assists

      everything would be chugging along just fine in terms of our perception of him

    3. HI5

      HI5

      Horvat been carrying him..he's a bubble top 6 player and can't play bottom 6 role. He'll be surpassed by few prospects eventually and be traded to a team which needs fillers.

      i think bo and boeser need a tough winger with them that can give them more space. most lines need that. 

      when pettersson and dahlin, make it to the canucks, they will need a strong defensive, preferable tough line mate.

      i think that a gaudette, gadjovich, lind line, has all the elements of a good line.

      @-Vintage Canuck- Yeah, I hear ya, and props for ignoring the baloney. All I'm saying is that they have more influence on some fans than I think is healthy for the microscopic market we're in. Not necessarily in the case of the Sedins at this moment in time, but with younger players. 

       

      Does that apply to media everywhere? I'm certain that it does. Is there anything I can do about it? Only what @Jimmy McGill is trying to do for @apollo right now, remind people that they won't play anywhere else for a variety of personal reasons. If we all respect them enough to love them then we can lay off the trade chatter since, well, we all know 1040 will likely be perusing these boards looking for the next scandal or hot topic. 

       

      I'm going to blame the tequila I had for lunch for the rant, but regardless of that I still feel pretty strongly about the influence of our media, and it's not always for good.

  16. I'm hoping to see Schaller on waivers. 

     

    Zero pushback. And he has by far the worst goals against with the Schiller-Beagle-Sutter line. Its not even close (https://www.naturalstattrick.com/linestats.php?fromseason=20192020&thruseason=20192020&stype=2&sit=5v5&score=all&rate=n&team=VAN&vteam=ALL&view=wowy&loc=B&gpfilt=none&fd=2019-10-02&td=2020-04-04&tgp=2000&strict=incl&p1=8477213&p2=8474291&p3=8474091&p4=0&p5=0)

      Just a reminder that Gallant is a players’ coach.  We have Petey and Huggy, who are clearly phenoms.  They deserve a prick coach, who will demand the rest of the team play the right way.

      @alflives

      anyone showing an interest in him

      cannot share your viewpoint

      they will have an assessment that assumes the oilers are a mess

      cannot properly develop talent

      and that the poolster is a talented young player that needs better surroundings

      oilers will not firesale him

      so i can see a lower 1st round pick getting it doen

      or a player like virtanen.. high pick, slowish development

      Vinny in Vancouver

      @Jimmy McGill I'm obviously just speculating, but just like with any market, it depends on how the sellers sell him and whether the buyer agrees. The Leafs will try to sell him as a C, and if so, 20 goals, 41 assists, +20 shouts first-line Center at a very young age. The Leafs will want a proven player, a first-rounder and a couple of prospects for him.

    3. JM_

      JM_

      thats probably true on the Leafs asking price... maybe Edmonton can afford that right now? it would set us back a year on the rebuild. 

    4. Vinny in Vancouver

      Vinny in Vancouver

      @Jimmy McGillI agree. If management is confident Elias Pettersson is going to be our future 1C and Horvat's a 2C/team captain, I don't think they will be paying 1C money on another player at this point of the rebuild. The situation's different next year if (when) they get the number 1 overall draft pick. They have to get BPA and draft Quinn's brother even if he will end up as the 1C. But hey, I'm no GM and it's not my money...

      I'd like a larger sample size before I commit to anything, however, Matthews seems to have better control of his emotions. McD is probably so used to just "having his way" he was more easily rattled by professional, smothering, legit checkers. And it showed. He was forcing it and making "rookie" mistakes.

       

      I'd expect a lot of growth from him in that regard as he becomes more accustomed to getting owned; he was having a hard time doing the little thing right.
