    2/2 GDT: Red Wings 5 at Capitals 6 (OT)

    Kindl must really want to get back to that press-box seat.

    What is going on in Edmonton?

    Well, we are tied with Dallas and Edmonton at 17 in giving up goals in the last minute of a period. So... yeah...
  7. no. No. NO. NO! NO! NO! to Gaborik. He is the most injuriously injury prone forward in the history of injuries.

    Seasons half way, thoughts?

    This is absolutely no surprise. Have been watching other games hoping that certain teams will beat other teams... and that we can get our s*** together and control our own destiny. Really hoping that the later comes to fruition real quick-like and I can stop the former.
  9. Penner will stay in Cali. Bank on it. Would look good in Red though. Moss kind of injury prone, in the same way that a lot of current roster is. No to Jagr. Don't get me wrong, Ott would be great. However, we already have Tootoo... and he's highly underutilized So... why would Ott be targeted by Holland? Would Babcock use him?
  10. Horton was just activated from IR. The six games he's played are his first six back.
  11. As he can't be a compliance buyout, here's the buyout numbers for Weiss: Stephen Weiss is 31 years old on the buyout date of June 15, 2014, setting the buyout ratio at 2/3 and the total buyout cost at $13,666,667 spread over 8 years. His contract was originally valued at $24,500,000 beginning in 2013 and ending in 2018, with $20,500,000 remaining from the buyout year forward. The following is a season-by-season breakdown/caphit of the buyout. 2014-15: $2,108,333 2015-16: $608,333 2016-17: $608,333 2017-18: $2,608,333 2018-19: $1,708,333 2019-20: $1,708,333 2020-21: $1,708,333 2021-22: $1,708,333
  12. Oh hey, would you look at that! Jets whipping the Coyotes. No trades necessary. /sarcasm

    Would you trade Jimmy for a top pairing dman?

    Winnipeg does expect players of equal value as far as age and talent goes in return for any core players they may trade away, and I'll say it again... I think they give Maurice some time with that core before they make any moves. Still, I *do* find it interesting that even after a change in locale, GM, and several coaches... they are still clinging to many of the same pieces they've had place since their days in Atlanta. I think Cheveldayoff needs to make at least one or two moves if he plans on remaining the Jets GM.

    Would you trade Jimmy for a top pairing dman?

    I guess I should have clarified a little more as this question was really directed at LeftWinger, as he seemingly does not want to move a goalie prospect, but then I realized that he is seemingly willing to part with Howard. So... If it's Howard we're trading to Winnipeg, there's no way that I'm including Nyquist and I want Wheeler and Bogosian. Not that this trade would ever get off the ground, but they are desperate for goaltending, and I really think that trading Jimmy is a disservice to this team. Trading a prospect is not like trading your number one goaltender, but I still would want a combination of players and picks if I'm trading Nyquist + Mrazek. While I don't think that Patterson+Nyquist alone could net a combination of those players, if you add in Kindl, Andersson, and expiring contracts, you may get a combo deal. Winnipeg is a mess and they need to blow that team up, but I still think they'll only part with maybe two of those core players. Buff from the defensive side, and Wheeler or Kane from the offensive side -- if it's a true hockey trade. ...and Pavelec may be headed to buy out city. EDIT: For clarification

    The like/dislike between Therrien and Subban is highly overblown by Canadian media. There's no way Montreal is letting P.K. Subban get away.
  16. Sent back to Florida for Kulikov? lol.

    If Winnipeg wants a goalie + Nyquist for Ladd, Wheeler, or Bogo and not other prospects, would this deal be a no-go for you all?

    It's pretty easy to avoid topics you're not interested in, let alone comment on them.
  19. As much as I am also salivating at the prospect of getting (in this order) Wheeler, Ladd, Bogosian, or Kane... I'm giving Maurice until the trade deadline to have all pieces in place. ...and to be honest, I see them moving Buff not Bogo, and maybe one of the three forwards (based on Maurice's input) at that time.

    Outs and Ins, Buffalo Style.

    Nolan's known as a "player's coach." He's certainly stabilized the team since his arrival. If he surrounds himself with the right assistant coaches, he can at least get a re-building team back on track to winning before he's replaced with the guy that gets them to championship contention. ...and with it's current situation, that could be a while. So good for Teddy Nolan.

    Pissed off: JJ speaking out

    You add a natural center/capable winger in Carter... and Voynov, who's still an offensive-defenseman but better decision maker, gets better/more minutes... team play/defense is going to get better. Attitude issues, current Team USA issues aside, seem overblown. Lombardi did do himself a disservice by criticizing JJ's time at U of M and had to do some damage control/re-assertion that Johnson was a player of note. Hell, he drafted the guy after college... so he must have seen something in the guy even though he went to U of M. ...and still, to this day, he went out of his way to amend the situation. My snotty "big-boy pants" comments are maybe a little childish, but Johnson seems to be a bit sensitive and maybe he does need his hand held a bit when it comes to his feelings, pride in country, alma mater, etc. ...but Johnson didn't get traded from the Kings because of his attitude issues. He got traded because the Kings had better offensive defensemen and they could get Carter for him. NO-BRAINER!! Nice guy or not, no one would blink twice if offensive-minded Kindl (also snubbed by his national team) got traded for a top-six winger and our defense and all around play got better. So who gives a hoot about Jack friggin'Johnson?

    Somebody hold JJ's hand while he puts his big boy pants on. *sheesh* Even Bobby Ryan didn't cry this much when he was snubbed.
