Thread: MacDermid
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>At what point do the players receiving the hit take accountability? I'm assuming you never played hockey because one of the first rules you ever learn is "Keep your head up"

MacDermid was not looking to elbow Provorov... Like I said Provorov saw him coming with enough time to adjust himself. He did nothing and he paid the price for it. He won't be suspended and if he is that is a total joke.</div></div>

It's hilarious you go to, you never played hockey. I don't need to prove any credentials to you. Keeping his head up, doesn't mean he can take an elbow to the face, it's immaterial. Again I will tell you, he took the wrong path to his hit and he'll get suspended for it. The principal point of contact is THE HEAD, with that, he will be suspended.

Thread: MacDermid
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bf3351</b></div><div>Provorov saw him coming and still kept his head down. No idea why a guy around 6'3 was skating so low while being well aware of what was coming. MacDermid lays a lot of big hits and most of them are clean. So I don't know what you are talking about. Being a very physical player you are going to land some bad hits every once in awhile. It's the nature of the business. Goes that way for every player.</div></div>

Ivan may have seen him, but it's on MacDermid to make sure that the path to his hit does not make the principal point of contact the head and he failed, he elbowed Provorov in the head. If MacDermid chose a different route, like a east-west vs north-south, this is a shoulder on shoulder and a legal check. The route he took will be what gets him suspended.

Thread: Someone please take Ritchie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Icarus</b></div><div>I definitely agree with this take. I think as much as we wish we got a better player at 10, especially considering 2014 ended up yielding a lot of good players after 10 (Vrana, Larkin [oof], Sanheim, Deangelo, Kapanen, and of course Pastranak), we didn't. And that happens. From a draft perspective, Ritchie is one of the biggest busts of the first round. But if you look at contract to contribution, he's a steal. When Ritchie plays well he can generate good offense, is a solid front net presence, and a physical force. That being said, I don't think he fits the future of the Ducks. We saw in buffalo that our team plays best quick, scrappy, and creatively. Ritchie is not that. I think there is a better fit on another team, but I would be surprised if a team pursuing him offers more than a late pick.</div></div>

What about a team like Carolina? They're apparently interested in a top 9 f. Ritchie for Roland Mckeown + anything?

Thread: What I would do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jimmerisagod</b></div><div>Idk. Vegas needs cap space. They pay anaheim to take the space and Anaheim gains roster room for their youngsters. I'm pretty new at this, but I appreciate the suggestion</div></div>

Things to keep in mind, Anaheim is not a super wealthy team, it is hard for them to take on additional salary like the Clarkson deal, especially if salary is owed. They couldn't take on that deal without cap/salary going back. Lastly, for them to take that deal, if they could, it'd take wayyy more than a 2nd, a 4th and a 4th line roster player. It would likely take a blue chip prospect, like a Cody Glass.

Also wanted to point out that Clarkson goes on LTIR. His career has been done. That contract is not one of the one's Vegas would look to move.
