O'Reilly Trade Rumor

31 January 2013 - 06:41 PM

According to the Ottawa Sun, the Avs are reportedly interested in trading Ryan O'Reilly's contract rights for a "young forward and a second round pick".  Supposedly O'Reilly wants to sign for between 3-4 million per season, but there's no mention on how long he's looking for. 

 

Nyquist + 2nd for O'Reilly?  Done.

New Defenseman: Guess who?

22 January 2013 - 10:03 AM

According to reports from the Free Press, Holland has been on the phone all day finalizing a deal on a defenseman who may play tonight.  The details are vague, but they did say it was a "veteran" defenseman.  Anybody wanna make some guesses. 

 

I'm going with Mike Commodore.


Nyquist Injury: Any News?

Saw a headline about a Nyquist injury last night. It sounded fairly serious but I haven't seen anything more about it. Anybody have any updates or links?

Defense like Cheese? Brunner tearing it up in Swiss League

12 October 2012 - 01:41 PM

I've had about enough of all this lockout talk. As best as I can tell given that I don't speak Swiss, Damien Brunner is tearing it up in the Swiss League. 5 goals and 7 assists in 9 games. Additionally he's got nearly twice as many shots on goal as the Omark (who leads the team in points, though with two more games than Brunner). Absolutely can't wait until Hank gets over there and suits up with him, I'm dying to see what Brunner's shot can do with Z creating space for him. His release is quick and should be very effective in the NHL, and his finishing ability seems (admittedly based on not much) to be better than Hudler's. Here's hoping all that success isn't do to shoddy Swiss defense. I've got high hopes for this guy!

Nyquist vs. Brunner

17 August 2012 - 04:37 PM

Nothing important, just a little speculation for fun. Between Nyquist and Brunner who will have the better season and why?

My take: Brunner is a supposed to be a shoot first guy who should, if he adjusts well to the NHL, have prime opportunities on a line with quality centers like Datsyuk, Zetterberg, or maybe even Helm. Nyquist has the better all around game, but given that he needs to carry the puck to be really effective, I'm guessing he'll produce less than Brunner. On a top six with guys like Flip, D, and Z Nyquist is probably not going to be carrying the puck nearly as often as he'll need to in order to maximize the effectiveness of his skill set.
