Hockey talk: Thoughts on what Wings should do with Mrazek vs The Monster? They still haven't decided. Basically it's sending Mrazek down to Grand Rapids or trading Monster. My feeling is send Mrazek down, and let him play down there. Once Howie gets in game shape, will Mrazek play even once a week? Also having the option to just call him up if one of the other two get hurt again, is nice.

That might be the way to go, just to get him some playing time. When is Monster's contract up?

That's exactly what the Avs are doing. Roy has said he's pretty much riding Varly the rest of the way in an effort to make the playoffs (ain't gonna happen). So even though Pickard's played great in his call-ups, they still sent him back down to the AHL so he's at least playing on a consistent basis, leaving Berra to ride the pine up in the NHL backing up Varly. So it's like Berra is technically the #2 goalie, but with a big asterisk.

Sounds like that might be the way to go developmentally with Mrazek.

Montster is in his last year. So Mrazek is up here next year. I'm with you, let him play a lot. I see the argument that he's earned the chance to stay but I always worry about injury to someone. You don't always have this type of luxury. So take advantage of it.

I have a client that is a wings fan and it's so annoying listening to him complain about howard.

they have probably the best coach in the NHL and have made the playoffs every year the past two centuries, the organization knows what it's doing.

Complaining about Howard? Last year I can see. He had a down year then. He was gonna be on the damn all-star team this year. He's having a career year...damn. BUT that's Detroit fans for you with goalies. Chris Osgood won 400 games, 2 Cups and was one win away from a 3rd, but people always would point to the things where he didn't do well. He's not Marty, or Patrick or Hasek but he was much better than people gave him credit for.

I've heard some people around here bash Pekka before. Unbelievable. Thankfully there are very very very few of those people.

There aren't too many goalies I'd take over Howard, but Rinne is one where I'd have to think about it.

Kings are back on a streak, finally. Toffoli grabbed his first career hat trick last night. Third goal was on a breakaway. He is so fun to watch, can't wait to see him get even better.

Rinne is top 5 in the league.

Hank, Price, Rask, Rinne, and BOBROVSKY! are my top 5...probably in that order.

So I really don't think the Caps should trade Mike Green. But I think they will. Which is dumb. Very, very dumb.

Mathias with 2 goals in the first 5 minutes. I'll laugh if he doesn't get a hatty.

They need to weigh what he'll bring to the team on the stretch run and what they can get now vs just trading his rights at the end of June.

Flyers 7 points out. Will probably finish at 15+ out by end of year

only if they sell the entire team. If they're able to get rid of Timonen, Coburn, and Grossmann for picks, I'm all for it.

I don't know if they are going to get rid of Timmonen, only becuase
Hextall said he wasn't going to rush him back to just show him off to potential suitors, which I respect. Would love to get rid of a lot more than that. I think Hextall is smart enough that if he was giving a proper budget to work with he can do wonders

Getting rid of Coburn is stupid.

JRS1386 02-15-2015 06:10 AM

Re: The NHL Thread
 
He's been on the Flyers for 7 years or so now and hasn't won me over. He may be one of our biggest trade pieces on the D-line becuase of his experience. I say if they can get a good deal for him, then good riddance

As soon as people start counting them out is when they seem to make their run. That time is now. 8 games straight or whatever with a point, now 3 winnable games in a row. I'll be at one of them, Buffalo on Thurs night.

I'd be all for it. He scares me with the puck and don't see much leadership coming from him being a 7 year vet w/ the Flyers.

This.

The problem isn't Coburn, it's the Flyers for thinking he's a top 2 d'man. He's not. He's been forced into the wrong role and it's why fans think he's a bad defenseman. He's a great second pair guy (top line when paired with someone like Kimmo). When was Coburn at his best? When the pairings were Pronger-Carle and Kimmo-Coburn.

Coburn has trade value and teams have been willing to give up a lot for him. But getting rid of him just to shed cap space is idiotic.

Santorelli AND Franson to Nashville

Re: The NHL Thread
 
I don't want to move Coburn just to shed cap space. I want to move Coburn because he's going to give us the most value coming back.

If I had to rank d-men to get rid of, it would be:

Grossmann
Schenn
Timonen
Coburn

Flyers are still awful. Holmgren was so good though, guys. It was the Flyers way, all the way.
