Is MTL Purposefully Tanking?
Nuxfanabroad replied to Nuxfanabroad's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Perhaps I should've specified earlier? 'Tank' being more of a buzzword, to economize the headline. The issue is more of degree, not an outright-decree. My assumption is that if they cannot be a PO-contender, they would prefer to slip beneath the 10th OA draft-slot, & send a higher(likely Canes pick) to the desert. This should certainly be distinguished from the scorched earth, apocalyptic tank, which the likes of the Laffs & Sabs have executed over the past decade. The players would have no part(as explained up-thread); it'll mostly come from various transactions, more geared towards their future. This 1-yr setback could theoretically be nestled between 2 yrs of PO-qualification, prompting comparisons to the yo yo diet - for those who prefer peaks & valleys! -
Okay, Save the Laffs..PLEASE!

Laffpocalypse NOW! Hogtown in meltdown Cracklin', greasy, bacon fat Napalm in mornin'? -
& when you trade a drafted prospect/player(eg: Gaudette) for another who's on your roster, that's essentially another added to a list of successful picks.

[Proposal] Blow up the Maple Laughs
Nuxfanabroad replied to VegasCanuck's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
1- Fire Dumb@$$. Maybe bring back Babcock as GM! :^) 2- AM to desert mutts, for Hayton, Chychrun, & 4 2022 2nd rounders. To enhance return, they could cover 2.5 mill x3 yrs. Just pay all of AM's bonus next summer for the welfare 'Yotes 3- MMarner to SJ, for Kane, Hertl(deal him at TDL for more picks/youth) & Eklund/ or 2022 1st rd Sharks should pay extra for dumping their gambling, juvenile headache 4- Deal Willy and/or Reilly near TDL Key would be to send all these underachievers out west. Keep Tavares, as he deserves those UFA buck$ with a rebuilding mess. In 3 or 4 yrs, they could be loaded with youth, & their books cleared of ugly red ink. In essence, they'd follow what the Sens did, 2 or 3 yrs behind. -

They also have talented young fwd, Seth Jarvis, a 1st rd the Laffs p*$$ed away due to the Marleau cap-kerfuffle. -

Great random SNet comment I saw..."I made lunch plans with my(leaf-backer) friend today, meet at the restaurant at 12:53. This enabled me to text him..hey remember we gotta' meet at 7 to 1 !" :^) Classic! -
Serious question about perceived negativity around this team
Nuxfanabroad replied to MeanSeanBean's topic in Canucks Talk
There might be another wave of discontent that starts arriving upon our shore. Open haterz(not posers, but other fanbases), who might wish ill to our squad; claiming, somehow, that we exploited a floundering, financial mess in the 'Yotes. At the very least, they'll likely imply JB doesn't deserve credit for this grand slam off an underhanded, slow pitch.. Of course it will be rotten, sour grapes. I think we should exact some measure of pride that his yrs of dealings set us up, so that we could exploit a ripe deal, fit for plucking! So many of our own youngsters(ELC's) were brilliant picks, for example. We DIDN'T lock in youth to ludicrous, Dubas-like overpayments. Nor did we lock in VETs to silly contracts(say Benn, Seguin type, white elephants). No one wants to credit JB for mistakes he didn't make. The poor vet contracts were mostly lower $ & shorter terms, than TRUE albatrosses. It was a short, rickety bridge-of-time which brought us along the tough rebuilding path. It was a very rough 6, 7 yr period, but would argue JB mostly honored his contracts with middling FA's, as we drafted the requisite, elite talent, & gave'em time to grow. Finally we emerge from that rough patch, poised to pounce on the right deal, at the right time(July 2021). Haters & pouters will need come to terms with this. -

Would MDZ make sense to reacquire, as a 3rd pairing guy? Saw he played about 50 games with a +5(both times), past 2 seasons(lousy teams ANA & CBJ). Signed with OTT 2 mill x2 yrs; they've been hit by injuries to young C's lately. Something like Petan & Hamonic, for MDZ & some/anything else for the farm? Then we could send Jack down to get big mins, until next yr. -

Good points. Saw someone on HFboards reference Ryan Stanton(perhaps early..Torts yr?) as a good comparable - felt that's a pretty accurate description. Really like this kid too. Albeit diff handed. Hoglander is a beaut. -
