Thread: I was actually told that this was good

I mean, it is a solid strategy to trade for the rights of two UFAs, and trading away the rights of another UFA. Unconventional, sure...but it does make sense.

Thread: Offseason if Hamilton Stays

I’d rather keep Fleury who will be cheaper than the contract given to Vatanen. Fleury-Skjei pairing has been quite good since the TDL.

Slavin/Dougie
Skjei/Fleury
Gardiner/Pesce
Pairings two and three get equal time

If Gardiner could be moved, then Bean would be next up.

I can blame whomever I want, it’s my post and my opinion...

My point isn’t about the past few weeks - I said he’s paid to put up (Goals&) points to which he’s not doing. 37 points isn’t good enough and you are the only person I’ve come across that thinks he’s doing ok. His goal and assist profiles are more like a 4th liner than a middle 6 playmaker.

Your point is mostly incorrect. He isn’t THE issue, but he’s not part of the solution right now either.

Ahh, got it - So a goal scorer needs more goals than assists. So really I should have said Dzingel needs to be producing more assists? Either way, he’s on pace for 37 points....he needs to get his **** together

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Goalscorers have more goals than assists, look at Kane, Senko etc. Dzingel is a playmaker.

Thread: Desperate Times

Canes weren’t spending a 1st on a rental. They traded a prospect and conditional 4th for Vatanen. The Canes were operating under the impression that Dougie wasn’t coming back during the season - that’s why they put him on LTIR for cap space when they made the Skjei and Vatanen trades. Pesce was still a question mark because they were thinking they might be able to get him back if he didn’t have surgery. He just made that decision this week.

I think the Skjei trade says more about Gardiner than anything.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jah1722</b></div><div>Vatanen slots in behind Dougie. He’d be a placeholder til Dougie was back then become the #4 and add to the 2nd PP unit. He was brought in knowing Pesce was out on the cheap.

You know the canes better than me but I still don’t see why the Skjei trade was made. That first and cap room could have been used in a better spot. CAR already has to many LHD. That 1st coulda been used for Lehner or some scoring up front.</div></div>

Thread: Desperate Times

3 20 goal seasons with OTT, and before coming to Carolina he had 66 goals and only 72 assists. His career shooting % before coming to Carolina is almost double what he’s doing this year.

He’s a goal scorer and needs to start potting some goals. Saying he’s not a goal scorer is flat out incorrect. It’s probably the single reason why the Canes signed him, to provide depth scoring.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Dzingel isn't a goal scorer. He's a playmaker. It's why I've been wanting him to be with Aho or Svechnikov, someone that has a heavy shot.</div></div>

Yep idiot GM...nailed it. Lehner was the only NHL level goaltender who was available. I’ve heard the Hawks tried to strong arm Canes for a 1st plus a prospects - so they went a different way.

22 games without a goal for a goal scorer isn’t it man. At some point, he has to produce goals. If he’s going to play, he better start producing...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Tonight was an Eddy special. Let's not be frank, lets not lie. I thought Dzingel looked really good with Williams and Staal. He gave that line a speed aspect. Eddy shipped out a goal, took a HTS penalthy, had a wide open goal (created by Dzingel) and missed. I think blaiming Eddy is understandable, but this was one of Dzingel's better games.</div></div>

Thread: Desperate Times

Ned has been good to my eyes during his time - he gave one to Philly last night. The rest was meltdown city.

The Skjei trade makes sense if you think he’s underperforming in NYR and you think he’s a top 4 dman moving forward...especially since he has term. Think the Canes like what they have in their pipeline coming up and had an extra 1st. Gonna have to see long term how it goes.

Vatanen trade to me made no sense - he isn’t brought in if he’s not right handed. He’s not going to be a top pairing guy when he’s back.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jah1722</b></div><div>What did Ned do tonight that was the problem? I agree the Skjei trade didn’t make a lot of sense but Vatanen was brought in knowing Pesce was done for the season.</div></div>

Even in the deepest of drafts, the picks in the latter half of the first are still lottery tickets. Condition on it is the first that is in the worst draft position goes to the Rangers. We still have a first, two seconds (including NYRs), and two thirds.

I don’t see the Habs getting any better offer than this. If this isn’t enough then Petry stays.

How could Bergevin resist being able to flex those muscles in a tight shirt on stage three times at the draft?
