NHL Off-Season 2015 |OT| With the first pick the LA Kings are proud to select...
- Thread starter Kave_Man
- Start date
Underrated off season storyline: should the Jets target Drouin in a trade now or will the Lightning put the kid on waivers? Clearly isn't working out, so maybe we package up a couple of mid round picks, or maybe Burmistrovs rights and the Blues first rounder? We're here to help Tampa out of this bad fit.
Injury prone and small. Has yet to break 50 points as our 1C the past two years.
Edit: For the record I think we should keep him, he's good when healthy and is improving at a good pace. His health and size are the concern. Most probable we keep him. He could hit 60-70 points easy next year if Pomminville rebounds or he has an semi-accurate shooter on his wing.
Granlund for Desharnais.
I see. I remember their being so much hype around him after the world juniors he had and when he entered the league. Maybe he just needs a change of scenery.
I mean he's really good but we need a young star center. If we could package him and some picks and prospects for a player like Seguin then I think it would be done. That being said Granlund has amazing chemistry with Parise and if Pomminville didn't whiff on almost all his shots last year he would have had 60+ points.
Edit: it really comes down to if management thinks Granlund can function as a small player in the big bodied west. Sure he may be great when healthy but if injured all the time maybe trade him while he's healthy.
This is a good point, he'd probably fare better in the East where it's more of a speed game.
Alternate viewpoint:
Since Oct 2013, he is the Wild's most productive C by a pretty wide margin in terms of Pts/60 at 5v5

Oh I agree and I love Granlund and hope he is able to play his career here. He is by far our best center and has the potential to be a star. But again, he's small and gotten hurt in all three of his seasons. He has also had multiple concussions and is only 23.

I'm now laughing at that random Caps fan who was talking shit. His name escapes me, it's forgettable like the Capitals history I guess.

Cole Cassels scores in OT to put Oshawa up 3-1 over the McDavids
McDavid had 4 points.
McDavid is just trying to learn Edmonton's system of losing, what a great student of the game.

No
We can give the entire team except Price, Patches ,Subban and Gallagher
He obviously realized too late that his goal should be to get drafted at a spot where the Oilers can't draft him even with a lottery win. Rookie mistake, literally. He's starting his own tank too late.
fire therrien and get babcock
Galchenyuk for Sharp, Bickell, and what's left of Roszival's ankle

Maybe he wants to go where Yakapov is.

McDavid's career already ended before it began
Cassels has been the guy playing against/shutting down McDavid so... most definitely their best defensive forward.

Hey who knows what will happen in the off season.
But I doubt Therrien will be let go soon.

Don't mind me. Just picking up those things I dropped off in here last Wednesday.
It's Fine.
I know it's been a while since you've guys have had any good prospects, but no need to get all insecure. I said "one of.." not their best guy.

It's was pretty good.
The Flash is looking good for Finale wise too.
Arrow... Uh let's just say I'd like to forget about this season altogether for that show. Boy that show took a complete nosedive after season two.
No way season 3 holds up to season 2. No chance!

DID THEY ACQUIRE THE MCGUFFIN
I'm thinking back to the beginning, and I didn't ever expect it to lead into this kind of batshit awesome direction. Being tied up with Captain America: The Winter Soldier and basically destroying the very premise of the show was brilliant.
SKYE WENT TO THE BATHROOM.

And the first person to bring salt to the Off-Season thread is....
*drum roll*
We always knew it would be you, Red!
One thing the Canucks DO HAVE is prospects like Cassels, in fact. It's just fun that he's the guy that is temporarily kind of containing McDavid...

I really feel Hannibal Season Three is going to be the best one yet considering that
there's going to be a time skip for red dragon in the middle of the season.
This sounds promising. I haven't watched it yet.
This seasons was a mess. Plus there was no Ollie salmon ladder.
