Minnesota recalls G Tristan Jarry to fill the roster vacancy.
-
Thanks Nail. A cure for the logjam of good tendies in our crease. We looked at deals for more than one goalie, trying to make sure each gets an honest reward for their performance level. It is partly about being for your players. This is what we settled on. We would like to wish Mackenzie, and SJ / Jaku luck, that the deal works out for them. We appreciate doing business.

EKL Fantasy Keeper League 2019-20 season
Canuck Surfer replied to Primal Optimist's topic in Fantasy Hockey
So lil ol Florida kept saying? I think I can, I think I can... Was it @Caboose, or was it @Patrick Kane who mentioned it was funny we were actually tryng? Earlier in the year, But here we are competing above the widlcard threshold going in to the deadline. Are we a seller? People have called for Matt Nieto, Zdeno Chara, Paul Stastny, Tristan Jarry & Kailer Yamamoto (NO!) Are we a buyer? GM's have also asked for Dylan Larkin, Kailer Yamamoto (NO!), Trevor Zegras, Marcus Hogberg, Jake Bean, Tobias Bjornfot, Denisenko, Ivan Morozov Bolded could be moved. We are more likely to make structural moves than go for it. Look for a key younger big fish! Bring all conversations! -
U could be Marilyn Monroe? Still het no action with that pick up line big fella!

[Speculation] Stecher might be on the market

[Speculation] Stecher might be on the market
Canuck Surfer replied to HerrDrFunk's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
This is one of the best posts in this thread, (Save the part about the NMC) Not that an NMC is necessary. See Biega. Benning is pretty loyal to his foot soldiers. And the actual number probably sits higher than $1.5 mill. Maybe around the figure Benn is getting? The concept, sign less than QO spot on! -
[Speculation] Stecher might be on the market

This part is is absolkutely true. This part is absolutely not. Its a market. They only get what they ask if the market will bear it. For example there is a post a page back, believe, cough Alf, quoting a media guy saying the ask would be Juolevi? I personally dont believe we would pay that. Or that Jersey will get any return for Simmonds if that was the ask. They wll turn bumpkus. In an ideal world, Jersey would still be sheltering Zacha as well. As long as he has been in the NHL? He is istill younger than Gaudette. Pavel has, in more than general terms, been a dissapointment. Has not been good enough to be that classic 2knd or 3rd line shut down centre. Not good ennouggh to be the offensive guy he was tabbed to be when drafted. One reason Jersey is stuck in never never land is the failed development of Zacha. I am sure at this exact moment? That they would LOVE to sell Zajac, Just probably are not in a position to do that. I would be surprised if they would not look at trading him to resurrect some value. I am also sure they may like to have Gaudette, with some upside? Their current 4th line C. Kevin Rooney will be 27 in a few months. Haas yet to crack 20 NHL points. Yes they could use Gaudette. And yes it would be a good situation to let them battle to decide who becomes Zaajac's replaacement. On your part there is no need to quote us spin from another teams GM. The world according to Garp. As if it was gospel? Spin is only true when things go to plan. Players develop as they are hoped to... Galchenyuk was also untoucheable in Montreal. How many teams has he been dumped moved now??? -

Stecher is possibly / probably, nah, just possibly expendable in summer. My own take is it would be odd to trade him now! Call up Rafffery? Rafferty is a completely different player. An offensive player. True, Stecher has never realized that upside. Which many felt was within? If we wanted offensive upside, sure move Troy Stecher now. But Stecher is also a battler, plays hard minutes. Take a look at our left side? We were able to sign Fantenburg, and suddenly Benn, also signed, is expendable. Sat, what 15 straight games? Nobody has supplanted Stecher on the right side. Nobody. We dont have that depth. Even though he is not a 30 point D man? He will be harder to replace than people realize! Key, add to it Tanev is UFA at the end of the year. My instinct is Tanev bargains hard & has an agenda in negotiations. He has that right, but has excercised it in the past. And is our true ''hardest minutes'' D man. I suppose we could go looking on the market for another. But useful RHD are hard to secure. Could take some of the sting of losing Tanev away. I believe we need Stecher for depth. I hate trading players before a solution is in place! -
Ouch A loss to @Monty, who had a positive week, earned it, hurts our chances of being top 4 a lot!

Community relations deal for the commish?
-
A small deal by us. Literally small compared to some we have discussed! And one that fell apart. We still have our best trade assets cap in hand; Timo Meier, Adam Fox, Mika Zibanajed, Nolan Patrick, Bowen Byram, Noah Hanafin, Keith Yandle. All discussed. Secondary assets available; Linus Ulmark, Isaac Lundestrom, Henrik Borgstrom, Martin Fehervary, Oliver Kylington Hugo Alnefelt, Jakub Lauko, Filip Westerlund... Offers wanted for players on top teams please!
-
One done, rejected by exec group; involving Timo Meier? On to the next one! Two new play off bodies on teams with potential deep runs in them; Oshie & Shattenkirk. Thanks Jazz!

Sent IR placement to open roster spot for Reinhart
-
Really wishing Oskar the best! Also Boston, his new team! Thanks C2X and Greener! Was our last remaining original Oiler from when we took over. Thiis deal was about three things; > We needed a forward to play with Patrick Kane. P Kane the only forward top 7 in our scoring. We owed him a line mate! > Hopefully some remaining upside in Sam Reinhart / IRL Buffalo > Some extra years in a younger player We did also believe with Hague, Fehervary, Romanov, Lindstrom, a few others? We had some prospect depth at D to afford the move long term.

Dipietro Juolevi Rathbone or Rafferty, not sure which, probably Rathbone? Brisbois Hoglander Podkolzin Lind -
I was a fan a few years ago. Simmonds is only useful IMO as a net front presence perhaps for our 2knd PP? It is not enough! He is too slow at this age to fore check relentlessly, hawk defenseman with the puck & scream into board batlles at high speed. I dont think he can keep up with the play intensity Green wants on our 3rd & 4th line. And he is no longer good enough for our 2knd line. So no thanks. I prefer to just be that fan of his game in my memory. Than be dissapointed we paid assets for a guy who could no longer keep up.
-
I agree, its a shocking cost? But Coleman has wicked speed, some agility. Can help them with an attacking defensive style. anfd forecheck. Plus play with some of their offensive players when called upon. How much does he kill penalties? i think he will help their team! More than the heavy players many call for with Tampa.

If my eyes dont deceive me? There's something going on around here. We blew a whopping 0.2 points passed Inane. Zero point two points on over 4000... We have seven players out of the line up. We'll take it!
