grumpyone Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I wonder how long it will be before we hear McD parrot Luongo's " my contract sucks" and wants out of Deadmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was trying to goad Drai into throwing a teammate under the bus and Drai refused- would Drai have shown better leadership by saying the 22 year old rookie Skinner cost them the game? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No comment" is a perfectly acceptable response. There were multiple options available to Draisitl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No comment isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of his teammates. He made the appropriate response. You’ve been quick to criticize Vancouver media (and rightfully so in many instances) but here you are carrying water for this loser- a far bigger scumbag than any media members in our own market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said I was a fan of the reporter. Neither guy looks good here, but they response was nowhere close to appropriate and shows just how classless Draisitl is. Perfect fit for the Oilers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be saying the same thing if it were a Canuck? I have absolutely zero issue with Draisatl’s response. I think he could’ve gone even further and still wouldn’t have been out of line. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Best response would have been. "We have to be better. What part of that is hard to understand?". Just don't take the bait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a few teams out there, but at what cost? I'd be fascinated to see it happen, it'd be a seismic move, but I have a hard time seeing how a team could bring him in without gutting what they've built because the cost on top of the cap would be astronomical. Maybe the Yotes? They’ve stockpiled plenty of picks, and they have the cap space. I could see McJeebus and Matthews in the desert generating a huge amount of buzz. Something similar to when Gretzky went to LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 You know, all that talk about them trading for Carey Price. I would SOOO love to see that happen. If you look at Price's numbers for the last few years, they aren't that good, except last season in the playoffs when Montreal's defense was really solid in front of him. Because of it's structure, it would be really hard to buy this contract out, Edmonton could easily wind up with a 10.5 million boat anchor for another 4 years, while hobbling themselves by giving up other assets to get him. It would almost certainly require Edmonton to give up at least their first round pick this summer or next. Even if Montreal retains 50% of his contract, it's still a huge gamble. They are about to get Koskinen off their books at the end of this year, and based on current buyout's retained salary and total dead space, they will only have about 5.1 million available (assuming a 1 million increase in the cap), with 15 contracts signed. Price hasn't played since last season, at 34 years old, with the injuries he's had in the last few years, there is zero guarantee that he will be able to return to his form from 5 years ago. Below are his numbers for the last few years, what do you think? 2017-18 Montreal Canadiens NHL 49 3.11 0.900 | 2018-19 Montreal Canadiens NHL 66 2.49 0.918 | 2019-20 Montreal Canadiens NHL 58 2.79 0.909 | PLAYOFFS 10 1.78 0.936 2020-21 Montreal Canadiens NHL 25 2.64 0.901 | PLAYOFFS 22 2.27 0.924 Laval Rocket AHL 1 3.03 0.867 | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do, but given how they've gone scorched earth they wouldn't have much in the way of NHL talent to surround him with McDavid's got four years left on his deal after this season, I don't think Arizona would be able to turn themselves around fast enough to convince him to stay, and if you're not winning it all or finding a way to re-sign him it's a net loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP Phone Home Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Seems like every Canadian market has at least one media member who thinks they are bigger than the game they are supposed to cover. We have Matt Sekeres here, Simmons in Toronto. JM in Edmonton sounds like another piece of work. Very curious to know what does it take for media members to have their pass revoked. When was the last Canadian market to blacklist a media member? It’s no surprise that many Canadian players have NTC to Canadian teams because who wants to sit in front of the mic and answer dumb loaded questions? When they can get paid the same and win in markets that don’t have the same media scrutiny that the Canadian markets do. Not saying the media in this country is the reason why there hasn’t been a cup winner in almost 30 years but it sure doesn’t help the cause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
