Thread: (CHI / ARI) - Krüger, Entwistle, Maletta, Campbell for Hossa, Hinostroza, Oesterle
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HawksFan28</b></div><div>I see this trade as fair...... The Hawks missed Kruger's defense tremendously and it showed, not only that but the Hawks got Entwhistle, who is a big kid with great potential - he was someone Bowman wanted to draft... IMO, Bowman got everything he wanted..

I mean Hinostroza is as good as he will ever be - he's not going to develop anymore.... The Hawks got 4 million more in cap space, a player they could really use now and a nice prospect with decent upside, and they lost what? Hinostroza and Oesterle?... A 3rd line winger and a 5th-6th defenseman (at best).... Bowman got what he wanted, Chekya got what he wanted. It's a fair deal.

If it matters I like Hinostroza, but the Hawks got a decent return and I think they will be a better team with Kruger than with Hinostroza... On ice the Hawks needed a true shutdown center, and that's exactly what they got.</div></div>

Let’s look at Chicago’s offseason, shall we?

Additions: Chris Kunitz, Marcus Kruger, Brandon Manning, Cam Ward
Subtractions: Vinnie Hinostroza, Jordan Oesterle, Anthony Duclair

And you expect this team to be a legit Cup contender? Stop, you’re making yourself look bad. Entwistle also has very limited NHL upside. Not sure what this “great potential” you see in him is, other than the fact that he’s a Blackhawk. Hinostroza scored at about a 40 point pace for an entire season, and you act like he’s nothing. This is on a team already needing secondary scoring. I don’t know why I even engage with you anymore, because you’re just going to explain these dumbass reasonings again

Thread: Sens Trade - Stone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jp_harvey</b></div><div>Why do you think it's called a "23 man roster"?? They keep 3 extra guys because injuries happens all the time. Whether it's a cold, flu, personnal reason, broken arm, torn acl, etc. There's always a guy missing 1 or 2 games here and there. What happens when one guy is out for a week and you need to call up a player from the minors? There's not a lot of injuries that allowed the player's contract to be put on LTIR (they rarely do)...You'll automaticly be above the cap and that isn't allowed.

That's why teams always carry 23 players in the NHL. On extremely rare occasion, it'll happen that a team will have 22 for a very short period of time, but that gets corrected very fast and is very rare.

So let's stick to what happens 99.9% of the time and leave the extreme rarities on the side, shall we?</div></div>

Last year, the Caps carried 22 throughout almost the entire season, so they would have one extra spot flexible to injuries. This is typical of a Barry Trotz team, as well as a few other coaches throughout the league. So it isn't "very rare"

Thread: Florida Panthers V3
<a href="/users/KSIxSKULLS" target="_blank">@KSIxSKULLS</a>

After a long discussion between the BOG and Commissioner, we have decided it to be best for the game if you were relieved of duties as Florida GM. The consensus is that there are only negative vibes and energy surrounding you and your interactions with other GMs, which is not something that can stay in the game. There is always the opportunity to come back as an AGM in the near future, and if there is change, consideration for a GM opening.

Signed,
BOG and Commissioner
