  1. I can’t picture them ever moving him after they shipped Askarov out.
  2. Yeah, I remember being confused as to why either team would do it at that point, not having any clue how the board would shake out.
  3. I’m trying to remember the timeline. Did they trade back with San Jose much earlier in the day?
  4. And how they handle that is a trait that is very important to see from a player. That response to the return to the minors is another assessment of a player.
  5. They were losing money and the best offer came from True North. It’s not really bonkers at all. It’s a story we’ve heard hundreds of times across sports. It just so happens that the money offer came from a group that worked with the NHL as opposed to go behind their backs. That’s how you get things done.
  6. 89 games over 3 seasons since the first tear, 12-27-29
  7. Pacioretty is an odd choice to include. He re-tore the Achilles right away after coming back and has pretty much never done much since.
  8. I mean, that’s not even remotely what happened in Atlanta, but ok.
  9. Or it’s just a coincidence or people seeing what they want to see.
  10. It's fine as long as you have the league's blessing (Winnipeg/Utah). That's not going to happen with the Buffalo market.
  11. They were very good under Umile, even if they were the university of no hardware. Hockey East had their big 4 era during that time with BU/BC/UNH/Maine. Those days are gone now, and NIL in particular has pretty much killed that. Maine has bounced back in the last couple years, so maybe UNH can at some point. There's just not much draw to that program right now. Compare his time to any other coach. He's by far the best they ever had.
  12. And we’re talking about the nextdoor neighbors. Just imagine if you suddenly told the Craps that they can’t draw anyone from northern Virginia or Maryland.
  13. It’s crazy to think that a team loses a game when someone is scoring at that rate. It looks like that slacker only had two points in that loss. He has no future. 😆
  14. The menus themselves are pure crap. I swear that the order things are listed changes each time I log in.
  15. I wonder how many people on here are left from when the team was good. I can’t keep up with all the name changes over the years.
  16. Just once I wish they’d lean into the seniors and their apps instead. Maybe generate ratings based on the number of life alert alarms went off at the time of the trade. If a trade makes grandma fall and she can’t get up, it is drawing attention.
  17. From my point of view, the reaction on tick tock is the tree falling in the woods with no one around.
  18. Landeskog loaned to the AHL for conditioning. This will expire after the season has ended. It by some chance he plays in the playoffs, that’s going to be the longest manipulation of LTIR we have ever seen, missing 3 years of hockey. Seriously though, it’s a great story if he can come back. I just love the convenient timing of the possible return.
  19. It’s a big example of why I hate grading trades so much. It’s rough enough with one year of results to look at, doing so after 0 games played is so damn stupid. But hey, this is the kind of stuff we get with the 24/7 news cycle.
  20. Most* trades are made between a one team trading for today and the other trading for tomorrow. You’re pretty much always going to have that first side getting those better years up front. 4 is probably excessive, I have a hard time giving much of any weight towards that initial bump. Of course they’re better up front, that’s the whole point of the trade. For the tomorrows team, no single trade is going to get them into the playoffs in the short term, particularly when the organization as a whole is pure garbage (I’m trying to talk generally here about trades, but you know exactly who I’m talking about with that description). Sometimes that team needs about 85 trades before they wind up back on the right track. *”Most” might be a bit strong, but there’s definitely a lot of those trades.
  21. And some media tried to hype up that he was available at the deadline. Just because teams are asking doesn’t mean someone is available.
  22. I went to BU and my wife the UNH. I’m enjoying the fact that Dallas’ UNH goalie was the victim here.
  23. Ticket demand plummeting? Would this be like a mountain climber falling after taking one step?
  24. The next step is to hack in and tamper with the lottery balls.
