  1. Jake looks like he should be on the next edition of Super Troopers with that stache. Glad he’s good to go for game 7
  2. Okay so Hughes not only our best offensive D by a country mile but our best defensive D too? Crazy! This kid is something else.
  3. He should be paired with Stecher so he can tell him what’s happening down the ice.
  4. Myers is so calm in our zone and just reads the situation so well. So key to our D. Motte is our unsung hero.
  5. I thought "unfit to play" typically meant that he had a positive COVID19 test outside the bubble of course?
  6. Dallas releases the following players to FA: Corey Perry Henrik Zetterberg Happy retirement guys!
  7. Ah back to the familiar home of the rebuilders.... Time to rehire the scouts that I recently fired.
  8. It’s not a bad idea and if we sent an asset to make Loui go away and didn’t sign Tanev/Stecher. If that was done he certainly wouldn’t be second line though. Could be: Hughes Pietrangelo Edler Rathbone Joulevi Myers couple pretty young guys but vets like Fantenberg/Benn types can step in too offset that.
  9. Calgary Roster moves: Recall: Jesperi Kotkaneimi, Erik Brannstrom Release to UFA: Jay Beagle, Alex Biega, Justin Abdelkader, Ty Rattie, Cory Conacher, Tanner Frtiz Release to UFA as per Buyout: Wayne Simmonds OTB: Robby Fabbri, Jan Rutta (Looking for picks in return. Likely more on the block closer to the start of next season)
  10. Dallas Stars have decided to save their energy for the playoffs next year. The youth movement is nearly complete, and we are seeing veteran spots taken by youth or players in their prime. We are currently on a decent run to finish the year and building confidence for next year.
  11. Other than his JS Giguere type run to the cup Binnington is likely going to bounce back to a 1A type goalie in my mind. That run to the cup (Which can't be understated as it's a big achievement) people see as his norm. I think his norm is more like most of this year and the playoffs which is a solid starter or 1A. Importance of a 1B in that case can't be understated. Jake Allen never become what he was hyped to be, but he is a borderline starter. If you look at his stats they are actually very good. It turned out to be a timing thing when Allen and the Blues were at their worst in many years, Binnington came in and was the saviour. The ongoing situation will be different than that anomaly of a year, but the optics are hard to overcome, and hence Allen moves along. He could still be the better goalie for the next few years.
  12. Myers is not a bust in any way. Worth his draft position many years ago and worth his recent contract with the Nucks. He is a unique talent: -With his size and reach he can make opposing plays adjust before they come to fruition -Plays a physical intimidating game. Not in the same as Byfuglien or Tryamkin, but certainly holds is own and creates space -Very solid puck mover and thinks the game quickly. To compare, just look at breakouts between Myers and Stecher -Has decent offensive ability with regards to occasional drives to the net and a heavy shot He's a clear-cut #3 D and that is worth anywhere from 4.5-6M so he's right on target.
  13. So here is a question for everyone that is relatively on topic. This won't happen but if Carey Price was placed on waivers would you take him? Personally I wouldn't due to his age and remaining contract cost and duration. Begs the question to me based on that on whether Carey Price (With contract) has neutral value? Still one of the top goalies in the game still, but the contract is a factor.
  14. I would imagine Pietrangelo is around 8.5 which is a 2 mil raise. To me their key focus would be trying to move out Bozak to reclaim the cap even if they have to pay to make him go away. If Pietrangelo asks for 10 then they would walk away 100%. I think they needed a solid 1B type goalie in Allen, so this could start the decline of St Louis already.
  15. Wow, that is quite the steal for Montreal. Allen may not be quite the starter he was pegged to be, but he is certainly close. This completely solidifies the goaltending in Montreal. Not sure what St Louis is doing other than telling Binnington that "he is the guy" after these playoffs.
  16. Stars recall Mark Regula and Henri Jokiharju
  17. Makes sense for Toronto to clear some space. I would guess that their ideal draft target would be Braden Schneider who is an actual D-man on the right side. That would make them better so I hope it doesn't happen.
  18. Without a doubt he will not be the answer, and if they did I would also laugh. I think they will make a change however. Great to see the leafs continue to flounder.
  19. Maybe part of the deal to acquire one of Pitts goalies? Then there would be a cascading move to move Anderson? In my opinion Anderson is better but I bet they are looking to make a change.
  20. Dallas assigns Mark Regula to the AHL for top minutes
  21. Welcome Corey, Evander and Henrik to the Stars and welcome Bowan and Mark to the NHL. Opening night lineup: Kane Hischier Radulov Kravtsov Barkov Perry Zetterberg Horton Guryanov Hintz Faksa Scherbak Byram Klingberg Lindell Honka Regula Byfuglien Rinne DiPietro
  22. Dallas recalls Bowan Byram and waives Stephen Johns with the intention of sending him to the AHL
