For stopping that? Yeah. They put in a good team game tonight and the Wild are starting to look decent. The first couple against LA made me think it was going to be a bad season, but they may pull off 3rd or 4th. Depends how many points they can take off LV and the Avs.



I didn’t realize we also posted dogs here, but here’s my Dubey. Named after the aforementioned goalie who did so much in Wild colors. He doesn’t let me put hats on him.

despite losing the last two games Rangers actually playing well...kinda got unlucky tonight and let the game get away from them. Lotta vet forwards also not quite up to speed and Strome is a loving anchor right now.
Lafreniere looks like he needs a line to stick on and get used to and not bounced around like is happening but can't say I'm worried. Chytil and Kakko looking good and Fox is a #1 defenseman now. Miller is also a drat surprise, he's adjusting so fast. Still a few things to work on but dang, he played 21 minutes tonight without any special team time.

Them Stars had some pent up energy to burn on the ice tonight in their season debut against the Preds. Six goals so far and the game is in the third period. Pavelski with 4 pts, Radulov with 3.

Khudobin with a 34-save shutout bid on the go.

Engvall should be a permanent roster player, I don’t know what anyone sees in Adam Brooks even though he technically scored.

Wasn't Engvall only down for cap/waiver-exempt status reasons?

Has Brooks ever played more than 10 minutes a game? I'm not sure that anyone outside of Marlies super fans sees anything of homz let alone in him.

Engvall was sent down for cap reasons, but they didn’t bring him up once they had the LTIR space to do so the first time in order to gently caress around with 7D. He wasn’t even on the taxi squad to start the year and he’s straight up more valuable than any of the extra #6 dmen the team carries around and/or Barabanov.

Brooks got on the taxi squad over guys with real NHL experience like Petan and Agostino, got the call over Boyd, and got PP2 time immediately. The organization clearly thinks he’s something, it’s not just people who pay too much attention to Jeff Veillette, and I just... don’t see it at all. He’s small and has no recognizable NHL-level skills.

nah. I think Johnny's got another gear still. he needs a centre who can retrieve pucks (ie not any of the current guys on the roster). like, if Sam Bennett was playoff Sam Bennett all the time, that would be perfect. I love my lovely johnny.

Frankly it might be Laine himself. I could see it more that he just really wants out of Winnipeg more than he very badly wants to go to Columbus.

Interesting read here on it too

I think there's something to be said about giving young players more agency in where they end up. I don't know what that looks like ultimately - maybe a permutation on the offersheet system that blocks the other team from matching for additional compensation of some sort.

I feel like Laine alone should have more value than PLD. They're the same age, Laine has outproduced PLD since they both came into the league, and Laine is one of the best shooters in the league. Weird to see the media talking as if Winnipeg should have to add to that potential trade. Especially if the add is Roslovic.

There's always been the perception that a skilled center trumps the value of a skilled winger because of "intangibles"/defensive play or that it's easier to build success through strong centers than strong wingers, so I think that's probably where that is coming form (whether its necessarily the truth or not)

quote:

The two sides appeared to be getting along swimmingly, discussing contract lengths of three years (a classic bridge deal) and eight years (at $64 million) that would have carried Dubois well into his years as an unrestricted free agent.

But something happened this fall while a contract was still being negotiated, and Dubois requested a trade from Kekalainen, deeply rattling the organization. He has yet to publicly disclose why he decided he wants to be traded away from Columbus.

Dubois’ relationship with Tortorella, rocky at times and volcanic at others, is not the sole reason for his desire to be traded, sources told The Athletic.

I really want to know what set him off, as it feels like it could be anywhere on a scale from something nefarious/repugnant within the organization clear down to "might need some extra padding for thin skin".

Scheifele - PLD is a loving solid 1-2 center punch and one getting Connor and one getting Ehlers is pretty good scoring depth.

Stranger trade for CBJ because they now have a ton of RWs but hey, Laine and Roslovic are pretty fair value for a guy who is demanding a trade.
