More of this please.

That was the problem with Flip. Too much pass not enough shoot.

Tavares totally screwing over the Islanders right now.

Yes. He doesn't have spectacular numbers (career GAA 2.49/.915 save percentage), but even "average" goalies will get you a good return. And his injury history is overblown. In his last nine seasons, he has played over 50 games all but 3 times. I would not be surprised to get a 2nd round pick for him.

Who is the center you are referring to? Glendening scored 11 goals as a 4C. Nielsen scored 16 as a 3C with no offensive players on his line. Zetterberg scored 11, but had 45 assists. I actually think our centers were a bright spot this year.

I honestly don't get the interest. Even if they needed a 2C, why not just bump Nielsen up and have Helm center the 3rd line with Rass rotating in and out? I don't even consider Filppula a 2C anymore, and there are plenty of other forwards to play in the middle 6. The irony of re-signing the guy that you tried to replace with Weiss, then replaced with Nielsen only to have him be your 3C.

Jedi mind tricks on Hollands part. Throw out Filppula rumors and everyone is relieved when you sign Vanek. I was thinking the exact same trade package for Faulk. I just don't think Carolina will do it without a 1st and being that it could be a lottery pick, too steep of a price to pay.

Gotta have someone between the pipes for the next 2 years after Howard gets traded. 3 year deal makes sense if he's the stopgap until a prospect is ready to go.

Nice try.

See the Helm jersey? I bet that guy overpaid. And Z looks like Jake Gylenhall in that pic. So I guess that's who plays him in the movie about his life?

Gotham is not in Great Britain. And the movie wasn't called British Psycho.

In other words...You were wrong.

Not nuts at all. Sheahan would make a fine 3/4C and would be a more fiscally responsible contract. Won't happen tho. We would probably have to give away assets to trade those contracts.

I have 2 words for ya. BROOKS ORPIK

Why not? We need more LH D. Plus he's a native of the best state in the union. Sounds like he might also have a weight/conditioning issue.

It would have to be on the 3rd line tho. Mantha and Nyquist play the off wing I believe, and I could see Zadina playing there as well although he is listed as a LW.

Correct. Apparently hiring an Asst. Coach to improve the PP makes sense, but not a cheap, short term, RH offensive minded forward. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2018/06/22/detroit-red-wing-dan-bylsma-help-power-play/726201002/ Chief among the reasons Blashill hired Bylsma as an assistant coach: helping the Detroit Red Wings’ power play. “I also wanted somebody that would help our power play and add value to our team." - Blashill The Wings had one of the worst power plays in the NHL the last two years, operating at 15.1 percent in 2016-17 and at 17.5 percent this past season.

He told me he was 18. I think you have to be British. Clive Owen

So a lot of 6-5 games? #BringBackGreen
