Commandant Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 The funniest would be if Carolina's cap problems mean that Vincent Trochek signs with Montreal as a UFA. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Puck Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 The thing about this contract is that Carolina can buy the deal out for 1/3 the cost during the first half of the deal. To me that greatly reduces the risk they are taking. Of course this depends on the way the deal is structured and the size of any signing bonuses. To me the real risk is on KK's side. If he turns into a good player he is locked in at a low salary. If he stagnates, he'll get bought out for 1/3 the value of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Former hab on former hab violence. The hit doesnt seem dirty to me, no head contact. The big issue seems to be carolina is not happy hes throwing a big hit with 1 second left in a 6-1 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond the time, a not inconsequential aspect, the issue I can see is that it is on a defenceless opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Wow, Eller 1.0 takes out Eller 2.0. It’s some kind of twisted Habsland fantasy involving disappointing former Great White Hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 In a 6-1 game in the dying seconds, the Canes were actively trying to get Necas the puck for the hat trick goal. If the Canes get to play, so do the Caps. Good on Eller for playing to the buzzer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 If the Canes wanted to score, why put a fourth liner like KK on the ice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Puck Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Hit happened with 6 seconds left. Its pretty clear the Canes are still playing and trying to score. Should Washington just let Necas get a hat trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK is trying to play the puck and Eller hits him. I don't see any evidence this hit was unlike most other hits. The other Canes seeing it didn't react at all. It wasn't until it became clear that KK was hurt that anyone was worried about the hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that would have been a much better pick. It’s easy to say that should have picked Theodore, although I’ve never been sure that it’s fair to blame a team for passing on a guy who, at the time, was part of a bunch of players who were all kind of ranked interchangeably. On the other hand, the Habs went off the board - out of their way - to take McCarron that high, and apart from Theodore they could have chosen Ryan Hartman. In retrospect, that pick was an early indicator that Bergevin was not the new-school, forward looking hockey man I’d hoped… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I think it's mostly that McCarron was an old-school (and ultimately poor) pick, as you say, rather than that they missed out on an obvious one in Theodore, who had been passed up by everyone else, too (with some even worse picks selected instead). But this is also a lesson in the unpredictability of late first-round picks: they are far from being guaranteed to become NHL regulars: six of the bottom 10 first-rounders in 2013 have failed to make it to 200 games played.

Commandant Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 McCarron was a bad pick the moment his name was said. Never should have been more than a third rounder. And this is no revisionist history, I said it that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think anyone said Theodore was an obvious pick ... but he was rated close to where the Habs selected McCaron as opposed to McCaron being a significant reach.
