The worst part of it is watching Sbisa, then Kalinin, then Granlund all kick him in the head on their way into the scrum. That could make the damage much worse. Really hope he's OK, that did not look good.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Hall even looks like he's trying to let up actually. Yeah. What I think happened is Hall is skating in square to him because he's expecting him to turn into the boards to protect the puck. Hall is expecting to hit him with his chest and be facing him so he can poke at the puck and battle for it and maybe wrap him up a little. At the last moment he realizes that Larsen is just going to skate into him and he tries to re-position. IMO it's probably as much just to brace for an hit you didn't really expect to happen that way as to consciously protect Larsen, but I think it shows Hall wasn't planning to get a shot in here. He doesn't position for maximum murder anyway. Really hope Larsen isn't badly hurt, but that looked terrible.

It's about protecting your teammates. Edit: Granlund looks like he may have accidentally hit him with his skates, but you can see he's actually trying to stand over him and keep the scrum back. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Dec 7, 2016 |

tinstaach posted:That would be...very, very, very disappointing strap in, buddy Helm, Abdelkader, and Franzen are auto-protected and you know they'll protect Zetterberg. Nielsen just signed a huge deal to be DatsyukLite, so I'm sure he gets the 5th spot. So that leaves 2 spots for Nyquist, Tatar, Mantha, Sheahan, and Glendening as guys that I'm sure are on Ken's short list. Tatar is an RFA, so I'm betting he's out. Glendening just signed a 4-year deal because Holland is an idiot, so I'm sure there's going to be incentive to not "lose out on the investment" and he'll get spot #6. The 7th forward is going to be a toss-up between Nyquist and Mantha. One of those two or Marchenko* is going to be lost to Vegas and it's going to suck. If there's a god, they'll take Smith but there's a 2/3 chance as it stands that the Wings are actually going to lose a player of value and right now that best value is probably Mantha. I'm sorry in advance. *Kronwall and Ericsson are auto-protected and Mike Green has a NTC that I'm not sure if it carries into the last year of his deal, in which case he'd be the auto-protected as well. If not, the 3rd defenseman will almost assuredly be DeKeyser. Either Marchenko or Mantha is as good as gone. e: Maybe they'll just lose Nyquist which will only look dumb when he's getting more than 14 minutes a night in Vegas and his goal scoring jumps back up to where it was two years ago and EVERYONE WILL WONDER WHY Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Dec 7, 2016 |

Pierre LeBrun here and CapFriendly here both say that Nielsen is the only Red Wing that's auto-protected. So Unless they're both wrong, Franzen and Helm don't have to be protected. Hank and Abdelkader (UGH) are gonna be locks, which would leave 4 spots for Tatar Nyquist Sheahan Helm Glendening Athanasiou Mantha A competent front office would pick Tatar/Nyquist/AA/Mantha, but Kenny won't do that so I guess we're hosed anyway, unless they decide to take Howard as their goalie. tinstaach fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Dec 7, 2016 |

Someone posted recently that Franzen had to be protected, and Helm's new deal has a NTC which was supposedly grounds for auto-protection, and even if it's not, he'll fall into the same category as Glendening as a "key piece we can't afford to lose" - Ken Holland in TYOOL 2017

https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-expansion-draft-rules/c-281010592quote:All players who have currently effective and continuing "No Movement" clauses at the time of the Expansion Draft (and who to decline to waive such clauses) must be protected (and will be counted toward their club's applicable protection limits). So NMCs are auto-protected, NTCs like Helm aren't. quote:Players with potential career-ending injuries who have missed more than the previous 60 consecutive games (or who otherwise have been confirmed to have a career-threatening injury) may not be used to satisfy a club's player exposure requirements, unless approval is received from the NHL. Such players also may be deemed exempt from selection by the League. And this should exempt Franzen. But yeah, it's all moot if Holland keeps jacking off over "gritty" 4th liners.

The Flyers got pounded last night but still won. I have to imagine this win streak is coming to an end soon though. Without Read and Couturier in the lineup we're just so much weaker

Do UFA or RFA players count for Expansion Draft eligibility? For example, Sam Gagner (UFA) or Alexander Wennberg (RFA) with no contract in place for 17-18 (assuming they don't re-sign them sooner)? It feels like it'd be doing nothing more for Vegas Golden KnightsTM other than a trade for the rights to a player who might walk anyway (in the case of a UFA). e-  quote:It was almost like he was worried I was going to Hulk Hogan the check — just tear it straight down the middle and suplex him for the crowd. If he had DDTed him right there on the ice and red carpet, I'd have bought a John Scott All-Star Jersey and Shirzee. CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Dec 7, 2016 |

CBJSprague24 posted:Do UFA or RFA players count for Expansion Draft eligibility? There's a negotiation period right before the expansion draft where vegas can talk to any RFA/UFA and if they are signed then that counts as their pick. I'd assume that any player picked in the expansion draft either has years left or has agreed to a deal.

They'll end up going to the Olympics. The league is just trying to pretend they have a say in it and can use it to get concessions from the players. NBC has the Olympic rights until 2032 and the Men's Hockey is generally a pretty big draw. They'll push the NHL to send the players, and with renegotiation of their deal starting in the next couple years the league doesn't have a ton of options. It's unlikely there will be competing bids for the NHL rights, so the NHL has to keep NBC happy at all costs.

i'm glad john scott mentioned the justin johnson fight in his players tribune article, which was a pretty good story in its own right with a 30+ year old career minor leaguer getting a cup of coffee at the end of a doomed isles season and putting the biggest dude in the league on his rear end. scott's reaction to losing the fight when it happened was also very very good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao8qZ3huAdk

There's also the issue of the NHL constantly not having the chance to promote itself by either self-created lack of marketing, or a bad relationship with the IOC. In a perfect world, the Olympics would be a launching pad for future NHL superstars, but everyone involved can't get along to do that.

I remember a few years ago when John Scott blew by Brooks Orpik and roofed a shot on Holtby. Then Orpik tried getting tough with Scott in the scrum right after the goal and eventually decided against it.
