I hate the idea of Kreider being traded, he works like hell and speaks Russian, which will be a big help considering the top dozen or so on the prospects list. That said, wouldn't kill be to see him in Nashville. One bloggers opinion does not a news story make, of course.
The Canes are running with this "bunch of jerks" thing and I am totally here for it: (Background, for those who don't have both eyes on the Metro: https://russianmachineneverbreaks.c...st-storm-surges-don-cherry-called-them-jerks/) Also have a chance of maybe getting the first playoff appearance since I moved to North Carolina, so that would be great.
I'm generally as much "Get off my lawn" as anyone, but I get a kick out of them. The bit with Patrick Burke and You Can Play is really cool.
Wtf, Tampa is obviously set up nicely, but they're on pace to be the third best team all time. Also [uck fay] St. Louis and their win streak against 65% bottom feeders.
He's been great, seeing as I don't think we've got a guy on the roster that would be a #3 defenseman on a decent team.
Duchene to the BJs. It's essentially Tolvanen + 1st + conditional 1st so, I'm okay with not going that route Apparently the snag was Poile not wanting to give out a NMC though, and that's an issue. No idea what he's gonna do, but you ain't getting a Stone to extend without NMC.
Really hope Zuc would end up on the other Broadway and have a real chance to get his name on the pot. Kevin Hayes is now the 2nd wheel behind Stone seeing as Jarmo is pushing all in, it seems. I personally would like a deal based around Roslovic more than Tolvanen, but the central arms race plays in our favor. I would think we get one or the other unless a fringe competitor comes heavy. I really don't see how anyone besides Tampa, Nashville, Peg, Boston really would "go for it"; but who knows.
Hayes would really help Preds matches with Peg, StL and Dallas. Fanbase doesn't seem to understand what he is and what he can be, they just look at his stat lines with a less than stellar supporting cast. He could be a 60 pt guy here at minimum, I think
