Thread: (FLA/MTL) - Smilanic, 1st, 4th for Chiarot
Yeah Florida paid a steep prize for him for sure.
But out off the pieces that were out there I think they got the one they needed for win-now mentality.

This trade got basically tampa-series written all over it.
With Chiarot out there its less likely Perry, Maroon and Killorn hack the rebounds in without fear of bodily harm.

Florida needed grit, we are so soon to forget the refs are about to change their calls again come playoffs. Its the time for those "slow and takes too many minor penalties" guys to shine.
If this gives Bobrovski more space to see the pucks, more slack for dropping a few juicy rebounds etc. it just might be worth the, admittedly hefty, prize.
Once again looking Tampa: Hedman, Sergachev, Cernak, Bogosian.... comes playoff their goal front is not a nice place to be by any means.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_Habs_fan</b></div><div>That's normal, anyone not named Russia is an underdog when there's no NHLer's</div></div>

Maybe I am being patriotic, but I honestly feel Finland has a fighting chance. Even against the ruskies.

They' ve never been overly good at choosing an optimal team, with people actually chosen for the roles they will play in the games (meaning 8min/game checking line with PK minutes)

Jalonen on the other hand excels in that.
We got an (almost too) experienced team,who know each other from earlier tournaments.

We got a solid 3 punch off top KHL goalies.

Almost all skaters play top roles in their KHL or swiss league teams.

Even some former NHL experience with Filppula, Vatanen and Uncle-Leo :D

Oh yeh, forgot that others played in NHL aswell few games.
Lehtonen, Pakarinen, Hartikainen, Kemppainen, Lindbohm, Ma. Granlund, Säteri...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>All could have been avoided if refs werent ****ing blind as if they called Pionk no need for Spezza to do what he did

Sure that Pionk knee shoulda been called, but Spezzas was a dirty dirty move. You can basically break someones neck with dropping your knee intentionally like that.

Remember from football back in the days that happening to Chelsea FC goaltender Petr Chech. He was like a year out with fractured scull and had to wear protective gear rest of his career. And was concidered lucky.

In general in the third 0 hockey was played just hits and fights nothing else

Got a feeling Mar 31 Player Saftey is gonna be at the game and Gabriel gonna get suspended for taking out Hellebuyck</div></div>

Seems I cant quote like normal people.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>Why do you think this is funny? He’s literally right. The Ducks are a bad team that is overperforming right now because Gibson’s on a hot streak and Terry is physically incapable of missing the net. The same thing happens almost every year with them, but within a week or two they’ll have overplayed Gibson to the point of exhaustion or injury (again), Terry’s shooting percentage will regress, and they’ll be back to being a mediocre, non-playoff team with only a few parts of their long-term roster set in stone, and several key parts of their current roster are UFAs this summer. They should totally trade Lindholm, Manson, and Rakell, Getzlaf if he wants to leave, and while Gibson is more of a 50/50 because his contract is solid and he has term, if they did trade him they’d likely bring back a haul that would be more beneficial to their long-term prospects. If they “stay the course” they’ll likely lose 1-3 of those key UFAs for nothing as they walk, Getzlaf will age out of being an impact player, and they’ll be mired in the middle, being too good with Zegras/McTavish/Drysdale/Gibson to properly tank for a good pick to complete their rebuild, while not being good enough to actually be competitive.</div></div>

Agree totally with this. Even with Gibson being 50/50 (might not be good idea to be too horrible for the youngsters to be able to win once in a while, and the contract is pretty good)

But if Gibson fetches an total haul from a desperate contender... good riddance. There are prospects like Dostal coming up right?
