Daniel Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The amazing thing about Chiarelli is that the Hall for Larsson trade might not be the worst move he's made as the Oilers GM. There's trading the pick that became (1) Barzal (or Kyle Connor or Chabot) for Griffin Reinhart; (2) signing Milan Lucic and (3) trading Jordan Eberle for Strome/Ryan Spooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also the same guy who brought you hits such as Tyler Seguin for Loui Erickson and Reilly Smith, along with Johnny Boychuck for an autograped Mike Bossy sweater!

The "old boys club" doesn't care much for people who cost them money and destroy their investment. If that was the only the only thing protecting him, he'd have been out on his ass a while ago.

You’re probably right, and I’d throw Hall the extra cash to ensure he stays, but if top wingers are gonna be pulling in 10-11 a year, I can’t wait to see what the next top center up for a new deal gets....

My guess is that he'll probably get the Seguin deal perhaps accounting for the lower taxes Seguin has to pay, so long as the team is willing to pay a lot in upfront money in certain years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Seven straight pointless games for Kovy...also a -6 in those games, and is now -12 on the season (tied for worst on his team). 5 G in 21 GP on his season. Pretty close to how I thought his return to the NHL would go...he does have time to turn it around, but suffice it to say that he's a long way from playing on a heavily stacked team in an inferior league.

Except the whole team sucks and underperforming BIG TIME this season. Kopitar is on pace for 36 pts, he had 92 last season. Carter on pace for 39 pts... Doughty on pace for 47pts...he had 60 last season... Brown is on pace for 46... had 61 last season, etc etc So i get while it's great to focus on Kovy struggling... it's unfair to assume that he's the problem when the whole team is showing poor results Edited November 22, 2018 by SterioDesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A four-game burst is really making his nothing-special numbers look much better than they've really been. He's been held pointless in 13 out of 21 games. 2 hours ago, Devil Dan 56 said: Who said he's the problem?

I can understand taking a flyer on him, but I never would've gone three years. Depending on my team's situation, I would've preferred one, maybe two with VERY gritted teeth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say that he thought he would come back and dominate, but I wouldn't be surprised if he thought he could pick up where he left off...be about 90% or so what he was in 2011-12. I don't think he's a dummy by any means...I'm sure he at least knew coming back to the NHL in his mid-30s after some time away would be more challenging than what he faced in the KHL. But it wouldn't surprise me if he's surprised by how tough it's been for him in the early going.

Especially if you’re wearing your dad’s Todd Bertuzzi jersey. And let's be real with ourselves, we know how Rangers fans get when they're "good", they're insufferable. The news stories will always describe the person who "won" the fight as the savage brute and will never go into what started it, but we know the exact scenario of what happened, it's a 99% certainty he was provoked by some red-faced fresh-haircutted (everyone at MSG always look like they just got a cop-style haircut purposely for that game) dipsh!t Rangers fan.

jagknife Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Look, I fvcking hate Lundqvist, but he’s the only reason the Rangers aren’t getting absolutely prison showered in Philly right now.
