What is the answer for the Washington Capitals? A. Bona fide starting goalie B. Completely revamped defense C. At least 3 hard-working forwards who can play minutes on the top two lines D. An attitude adjustment that comes from better player leadership E. All of the above ... We would all get the correct answer. I recognize you can't just trade a guy like Ovechkin, but maybe you try to surround him with team-first players who can compensate for his attitude. I will say this, I like the Caps bottom lines. Some good grinders down there like Chimera who I'm a fan of. That's it. EDIT: Thanks for the contract info on Miller. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I'm just going to start the Miller to the Habs as a rental rumour.
Facing his first shot, in his first practice back Price has left the ice with an apparent leg injury. |

"If Price was dealing with a lower body injury, why in the world would he be taking shots on a 5-0 pp practice cold. Not a wise decision." Fair point. |

in hockey related news and i know this wont happen but st. louis would be a great addition to the jackets. i know they're overall scoring numbers look better after the january they had but i dont feel anyone on that team is a consistent producer. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I'm curious as to where he'll go. Someone will get him I'm sure. This isn't Luongo here. But if this is because of the Olympics thing, which you kinda have to assume it is, that's stupid and he might be in for a shock. I mean you are 2nd in the division right now with this team. Playing well. Hell, you were doing well, without your best player for a long time and he'll be back soon. You'd leave all that over some hurt feelings?

I think there is more to this than just a simple Olympic snub. I mean...it doesn't seem really plausible for St. Louis to do this.
My take is that he told Yzerman by a certain date if the Lightning weren't looking too hot, he would like to move to a contender. He's old now. He wants a chance at another Cup. Don't blame him. |

Gotta be something else going on. The Lightning are doing well this year, but I don't know if anyone feels they are serious contenders. Crazier things have happened, but I wouldn't be putting any money on it. Maybe he is (like Matt said) just feeling the pressure of wanting to make one more solid run before retiring. Could have nothing to do with sour grapes or bad feelings. But yeah, certainly an intriguing story. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I also forgot he was captain of the team. Wow, that's--so unlike him. Maybe he really thinks the Lightning will get more out of him if he's traded, considering that it's Stamkos team by now. His captaincy was probably just a nice gesture.

In other news, as you can see I started back up my blog. My intention is just to do update summaries of what's been going on and then have some original featured material. However, I'm looking to collect statistics and such. For all your puck lovers out there, would anyone be interested in helping me collect such data? I'm open to volunteers, helpers--you guys don't have to write or anything, unless you want to--I'm up for that as well.

As for St. Louis (player), NYR makes sense from a logistical standpoint (I just read that his off-season home is in CT), but would not go very far in proving my supposition that he's chasing a Cup. Going there would definitely be a step backwards. But then there's the question I had about Miller earlier, which is how much say does St. Louis have? Damn... talking about St. Louis (city) and St. Louis (player) is getting confusing. I propose we call them STL and MSL until after the trade deadline. :cool |

Miller to STL doesn't make much sense to me anyway. They've been rolling with two solid to great 'tenders this far. Would be a big kick in the nuts to the entire team to bring in a new guy now to carry them...not to mention they don't need him to being with. It wouldn't surprise me if that's where he lands, but it doesn't seem logical to this guy, eh?

Not sure about all the Rangers hate. They were playing fantastic hockey going into the Olympic break. They keep that up and they are 100% a cup contender....or at least a contender to come out of the east.

Soderberg is filthy, I heard so much about how good he was playing in Sweden and wasn't really impressed with him on the wing, but he looks so much better at center.
Edit: and Loui looks like he's keeping up his great play from the Olympics so far, hopefully he's finally found his game. |

I wouldn't give up all that for Kesler. Basically I just wouldn't give up Leddy. He's top 4 with Hammer next year. Maybe even this year if they trade Oduya and being up Stephen Johns.

I'm sorry I don't have a permanent love affair with Seabrook, but he was slow last year and more of the same this year. He's much worse than he was in 2010. This is from Yahoo yesterday:
Pre-Break LVP: Brent Seabrook. Not Bryan Bickell who is coming off two knee injuries. Most of Seabrook's blips have been covered by Keith, but he's been slow, wayward, and just in a general fog all year. Him and Keith don't even draw top assignments...I'm sure it's not because of this years' Norris winner. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Surprisingly (or not surprisingly?) the only Avs players who didn't look flat for the first 10 minutes or so tonight were the Olympians (Duchene, Stastny, Landeskog).
Pretty much the same thing with the Kings. |
The guys I'm worried about with Olympics are Hossa and Keith. Keith gets a huge workload and Hossa is getting older. Couple that with this being a lonnnng year and last year being an extra short summer and I hope they have legs in May

If you need more proof that Bonzo is the new Bron, look no further than him saying he wouldn't want to give up Nick Leddy for a 40 goal scoring, Selke winning center.

The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I said I wouldn't give up all that for Kesler but ok. Nick Leddy for Kesler would obviously be a no-brainer, but that's not what you said. Obviously Leddy was the centerpiece of the deal you proposed, and I felt that made it too much to give away.

I didn't even say no! Probably would have to think about that trade hence the "gee I don't know" timidness. Hahaha Oh man, Lockman has been awesome this season.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
So NHL Network this morning listing some Canes who might be on the block, and Ward was listed again. How crazy would it be to have Miller and Ward traded on the same deadline?

Honestly though would Vancouver do that deal? Bickell is just dead weight and might kill that deal. I like Leddy but at this point I don't see him as much more of a 2nd/3rd offensive d-man who is still a bit of a liability defensively. Hard to say if he can take another step with his defensive game. |
This is the best time of year...the playoff race. The Hawks had it locked up this time last year so I'm excited for March.

Franzen sure likes to play the Sens. 2 of the Wings 4 in the first.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Make that the trick. Franzen now has 9 goals in his last 3 games in Ottawa. So barring a collapse Wings get 4 points in the division. Sad they gave the Habs an extra one last night.

Bickell is a little more than dead weight, but has a little upside and Pirri just wouldn't command much in a trade. Pirri would be a vital piece to have a young center replacing Kesler, clearly not even close the the same caliber but...I'm sure they'd want a center to replace him. So no, it was more of a joke that would never be reality. Honestly, I see the Canucks moving him this offseason or next trade deadline. Their window is closing on a Cup (if not closed) with the current roster makeup, and getting max value for a guy like Kesler who clearly isn't 100% happy with the situation would be really great for a quick rebuild. Moving the Sedin's would be near impossible, since I doubt they would accept a trade to separate teams. |
