Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

Always chasing that center. At least he managed to get Suzuki.

By accident. Bergy wanted Cody Glass and Vegas said no.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Tkachuk started out gang busters after agreeing to his deal last season too, then tailed off after some 25GP

To be fair, he plays for a garbage franchise. That would kill any player's level of commitment.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

We all knew it would be Bergevin to reach for KK. It should have been either Hughes or Tkachuk

they were bullied into it by McCagg and Wilde and fell for it

KK doesn’t seem like an MB type pick at all . . . but we weren’t there so who knows?

Not so sure about that anymore. After several black eyes they've tightened up.

Is smoking pot still the biggest crime in the NFL?

 

[worm]

Tkachuk was as sure a pick as I've ever seen in my life, but the general consensus was that he would settle as a 60ish points plug-and-play forward, which has been about accurate until this season.

I blame mccarron

Would anyone deal Dvorak for KK?

Dvorak with the shorter term has way more market value.

 

[wiseguy1]

the Pez warmups will be less interesting now.

I actually do think that now he may. That's how badly KK has performed offensively. He's a defensive forward and taking those at #3 is duuuuuummmmmmb

Don't be alarmed that the league has put in this rule because of player safety. They don't give a shit whether players live or die. The actual reason, as always, is money. The Habs, for example, have a sponsorship deal with Bell that includes having stickers with the Bell logo on the players' helmets. That is the only reason for this rule.

so cynical

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

so cynical

I'm a realist. It's the NHL that's cynical. If you want to know why they do anything just follow the money.

 

[Habsy]

Sorry man, I'm a realist. Get off the bus.

People's thoughts and emotions are real

Hearing rumours that Carolina wants to move KK targeting Horvat from the Canucks

"as reported by TSN's Mike Johnson, "the Carolina Hurricanes want to win the Stanley Cup this season, and their second line center, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, really isn't living up to their expectations offensively, and he's not replacing Vincent Trocheck. [...] Adding another scorer, to replace Kotkaniemi, could really help the Canes offensively. [...] "

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Kidding aside, I could see the Canucks being dumb enough to make that deal.

 

[Habsy]

Trade them Kovacevic?

Their “expectations” were clearly delusional.
