DON Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Sure, is a gimmick and makes NHL $$, which is fine, I just think some 3rd jerseys of some teams just garbage. Like Bruin puke-yellow ones, boring black ones many teams role out, spastic causing barberpole ones...ugggggg. But, all team sports seem to do it, seems a $$ maker, so aint ever going away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurdBurglar Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Sounds like earlier in the off-season Klingberg was set to sign with the Canadiens so they could trade him to the Oilers to retain salary. https://www.nhltraderumors.me/2022/08/nhl-rumors-canadiens-oilers-were.html?fbclid=IwAR0IjBItpyNgK8unmkI-9X4bo3-VQmH9zfCw_dVBiUEplIuVLTuePDLPjJA&m=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the term and dollars are right then I have no issue with an extension for Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to imagine he will get overpaid. Plus if the contracts too long... he goes on waivers and mediocre goalies are always getting claimed.

TurdBurglar Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Just read a report the Rangers have had an offer for Lundkivst of a 2nd round pick since the trade request made. The story also said the second round pick was a high second round pick from a team that finished near the bottom of the league last year. It doesn’t even hint it could be Montreal, but Montreal fits the criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Quote A late second round pick won’t cut it, but one in the early going of the 2023 draft seems fair. Something along the lines of 33-45. Remember, Lundkvist was selected 28th overall (late first-round) and is demanding a trade. Another option is to trade for a similar prospect that will fill a hole. Which brings me back to the Canadiens. Their current VP of Hockey Ops, Jeff Gorton drafted Lundkvist when he was with the Rangers. Montreal could swap prospect Jan Mysak, who was a second round selection and help the Rangers center depth. Mysak, 20, recently signed his ELC and could be a great fit for the Rangers future. Last year in the OHL, he recorded 64 points in 61 games for the Hamilton Bulldogs. He’s expected to play for the Habs AHL team in Laval this upcoming season. https://www.foreverblueshirts.com/rangers-offer-nils-lundkvist-on-table/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Renaud Lavoie of TVA is reporting Edmundson is getting some trade interest and that there are some pretty attractive offers.

TurdBurglar Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 That could be a massive overpayment for a guy who couldn’t secure a full time NHL job in New York. He will have to turn into a good top-4 guy to make that trade look as bad as it does for Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell; but seems fine to me for a team with zero good RH d-man, bit of overpayment but dont think massive, but just my impression. https://dobberhockey.com/2022/09/19/fantasy-impact-dallas-stars-acquire-nils-lundkvist/ The Rangers get: a better pick (likely) than the one that was used to draft Lundkvist in the first place (28th overall in 2018), plus an additional pick in the middle round. Pretty good asset management, when looked at it from that standpoint. The Stars get: a right-shot prospect defenseman who just one year ago was widely considered as one of the two or three highest upside defensemen outside of the NHL. While Lundkvist struggled a little acclimating to North America, keep in mind that he was a stranger in a strange land. With a year of experience under his belt acclimating to the language, the culture and the bigger rinks, the 22-year-old is better equipped to handle the 2022-23 season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, a potential lottery pick is way too high a price to pay, I am sure Hughes checked the asking price on this one and it was too high for his liking. Glad he passed, obviously Nill wanted him a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have playoff aspirations, lost Klingberg in the off-season and from some quick Googling for Stars prospects don't seem to have many defencemen knocking at the door ... and none that I saw are right-handed (which isn't to say some like Jordan Harris may not normally play on the right-side despite being LHD) ... so I can see Lundkvist's value being higher to them.

Agree, Nill definitely placed a higher value on Lundkvist than Hughes did and it may work out for the Stars as they are in a different spot than the Habs. I am sure the Rangers are very happy with the return they got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
