DevsMan84 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 It will be interesting to see what will happen to the Oilers now. They seem to have finally found a guy who has a pretty lengthy history of success to lead their organization. However, it seems that he will be under more pressure that he was in Detroit where year's of success has pretty much drained their pipeline.

On the one hand it's pretty clear and most people should understand exactly what you said - that Detroit had so much success for a long time that they were due to have some bare cupboards eventually - similar to us - but on the other hand, that still sort of puts pressure on the new GM to try to duplicate the same success and length of consistency - something he obviously wasn't able to do. Likewise, you'd think in Edmonton expectations would be low considering how bad the team has been, but you could make the argument that they're somewhat high - since Edmonton actually has some talent and Holland won't be in a situation like he was in Detroit where he had a team and organization void of much talent. I tend to think the latter on both, but I could still see people viewing it the other way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for Hank and fortunately for us, neither the Rangers nor Lundqvist are good enough for another crack at that thing in his career. My best bud on the planet is a Rangers fan (we actually have a respectful rivalry), and though Ranger fans usually have big-time blinders on, my bud readily admits that Lundqvist is clearly past his prime, and that he wouldn't mind seeing him dealt. Kind of a rough 7-year contract...the Rags basically got two years of in-his-prime Lundqvist, and will have gotten less than for the final five years. Not that much of a surprise considering that they were buying his age 32-38 years I guess, but not great when you're stuck with a clearly declining player for two more years at a still-large cap hit.

It would be shocking if a team traded for him. Genuinely shocking. It would have to be a team that’s pretty much a goalie away, obviously.... maybe a team like Carolina would be interested if they don’t win the Cup this year.

Yeah the reason I mentioned them too is their owner is kind of an idiot, maybe he’d be hypnotized by the big name. Highly doubtful though, I know.

95Crash Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Flyers hire Michel Therrien and Mike Yeo as assistant coaches to previously named head coach Alain Vigneault. Lots of head coach experience right there. Edited May 7, 2019 by SargentD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I think Lundqvist is retiring as a Ranger. He’ll be their Brodeur, you know, minus all the success, Cups and adultery. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that just a very desperate attempt to land an adultery joke? Blues? I don’t remember that. Most of us don’t. I was thinking more of his having been the goalie/face of the franchise for like 20 years. The desperation was the “no Cups” part, the adultery was a throw away at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Also, for the record, I don’t really care about the adultery part. He was my goalie, he wasn’t trying to marry my sister. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 So the Flyers traded for the rights to negotiate with Kevin Hayes. They’re obviously not hopeful for Patrick as a top 2 C. Thank the old gods and the new we took Nico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Hughes already had the main female character end up with the jock/popular boy in 16 Candles and Pretty in Pink so we all knew he couldn't go 3 for 3 in that direction.
