For a 6th?

He's pretty bad. He's slow, zero physical game, not sure I've ever seen him make a defensive play of any kind, decent shot, is totally invisible for games at a time unless you look at possession numbers and his are always bad compared to his teammates and linemates.

BUT, every now and then he pops two PPG's in a game or gets 4g3a in a 10 game stretch. And for a 6th round pick he's basically free depth at the wing so why not, if he randomly has one of his effective bursts down the stretch that's more than worth putting up with his awful defense.



For the Jets, we get him the hell out of here so he stops stealing minutes from much better younger wingers like Dano and Armia.

 

[Red_Man]

Shocked that Desharnais was moved, and that Chiapet of all people bit on him. Good fucking riddance.

Bergevin doing his press conference in a minute, can't wait for the generic sound bites.

Clearly a metro team is going to be the East's Stanley Cup finalist.

Any of Washington/Pitt/Columbus/Rags will beat any of Toronto/Ottawa/Boston/Montreal.

Hell, it could be an all Metro ECF easily too, as the Rags could beat any of Toronto/Ottawa/Boston/Montreal.

This is our one and only path to the Stanley Cup, yes. We go into the Atlantic, where only Montreal really poses a serious threat (it doesn't matter how much you guys suck, you know that's always the case) and clear out the division while the Caps, Pens, and BJs all run each other into the ground. We take advantage of the depleted Metro survivors in the ECF and go on to the SCF, where we frankly have a pretty decent chance against just about anybody in the West. A fantastical longshot that almost certainly won't play out this way and that basically requires McDonagh and Lundqvist in particular to go completely unscathed from here on out to June, but a not-impossible scenario.

If we somehow end up in the second or third spot in the Metro, though, we're probably out in 5 games against the Pens or maybe 6 or 7 against the BJs.

I'm surprised that Poile actually made a trade. Seemed content to do nothing.

Guessing all of the craziness from Nashville will come near the expansion draft, since they currently have a sticky situation with one of Arvidsson/Jarnkrok being ripe for the taking by Vegas.

Let's see how he spins this

Bergevin live now, let's see what he has to say.

**beaten

I wonder if he'll make another reference to making trades on Playstation

 

[Red_Man]

Let's see how he spins this

On one hand, I am glad he didn't move a guy like Sergachev for a top 6 guy, but there had to be some other players not asking as much out there.

 

[Red_Man]

Bergy saying they felt fine moving Ghetto when they have Hudon, yet he hasn't played 🤔

 

[Lourio]

lol talking about getting guys with playoff experience? Boyle...?

 

[Socreges]

Lamairello on Corrado

Solid citizen
Had a lot of patience
No one's fault

Hah

 

[Red_Man]

Bergevin just said he doesn't believe in a "cup window"

Which would explain a lot of his dealings or lack there of

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Call up soon?

 

[Lourio]

Beaulieu, in his top 8

That was funny

 

[Line_HTX]

No good generic soundbites, eh

 

[Cake Boss]

Penis Oreo is crying about Burrows trade.

 

[Socreges]

Treliving sounds like he's describing the Baertschi trade when he talks about Lazar. Heh

 

[zroid]

Carlyle and Nonis acquired two former Marlies from Chicago

interesting...

"I had good reports from Kirk Muller. Grit. Sandpaper. He has a lot of intangibles that don't appear on the scoreboard." - Bergevin on Ott

Pinnacle Bergevin right there

You'll never see a more Bergevin quote in your life

 

[Yawnier]

Lou Lam gives absolutely nothing away when interviewed

 

[MultiJhonny]

he actually said "sandpaper" while describing someone?

 

[Red_Man]

He was referring to Ott who is pretty fucking irritating, so it makes sense.

 

[Socreges]

Lou Lam gives absolutely nothing away when interviewed

? He's given up more than other GMs. He even admitted that they grabbed Fehr because he could be used for the expansion draft.

 

[Line_HTX]

Intangibles matter.

 

[Razorskin]

I wonder why John "The Desert Fox" Chayka didn't move Vrbata.

And no surprise Doan stays put as no wonder would want to drag his corpse through the playoffs.

 

[Razorskin]

Bergy, we have stats at our disposal that go way beyond the scoreboard, and they all say he sucks.

 

[yyzjohn]

Some reporters are dumb. What GM is gonna comment on a player that refused to waive a no trade clause to come to your team?

 

[Razorskin]

Peter Chiarelli on Desharnais: "I know he's undersized, but he's strong on the puck".

I need that gif of Karlsson pinning Desharnais against the board.

#Blackhawks acquire forward Kenton Helgesen and a seventh round pick in 2019 draft in exchange for forwards Spencer Abbott and Sam Carrick.

Uh yeah. This thing happened.

 

[ElephantShell]

Uh yeah. This thing happened.

Lol Spencer Abbott and Sam Carrick. The Marlie lifer special.

Lol Spencer Abbott and Sam Carrick. The Marlie lifer special.

I thought those names were familiar

 

[lamaroo]

17 of the players traded today were on waivers at some point this season.

TRADE DEADLINE FUCKING SUCKS

"I'm not going to bring Hudon up to sit in the stands. If a place opens up for him, we'll discuss it." --Bergevin

Hmmm.

 

[Red_Man]

Players needed to be sent down to the AHL today to be eligible to play in the playoffs, McCarron wasn't so it seems like he'll finish the season in Montreal.

 

[yyzjohn]

17 of the players traded today were on waivers at some point this season.

This has to be the worst deadline day in terms of actual roster players that will make any kind of difference for their respective teams.

IginLA Kings

let's build our franchise around this guy!!

 

[Red_Man]

King has a dog named Habs

So... let's look at the new gritty Habs lines

Pacioretty Danault Radulov

Lehkonen Galchenyuk Gallagher

Byron Plekanec Shaw

King Mitchell Martinsen

[SmackCrackleNPop]

So strong on the puck

IginLA Kings

Sure, IF it was the Iginla from the Calgary Flames days of 11 years ago!

 

[lamaroo]

Karlsson was actually trying to remove Desharnais from the boards, that's how strong he is.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Man I can't wait to see Fehr play!

 

[DopeyFish]

Man I can't wait to see Fehr play!

The solar bears are gonna be lit

 

[yyzjohn]

How dare you bring up my alternative facts again. I was right about Nylander though, you're about to trade him anyway (prediction)

Wrong again pony-boy!
