Rob_Ottawa Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Geez am I on trial here too? I swear I never wasted millions on gambling. But if I was to gamble, I would lose a tonne. For instance, I would have bet the house for Montreal to lose every round this last playoffs. And that's why I don't.

RunninWithTheDevil Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 "raging ex wife revenge" If I'm not mistaken, she is still currently his wife which is the whole reason this alleged situation is so egregious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Ottawa Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 No I read ex wife in the tweets somewhere. Kane called her that and mentioned divorce proceedings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpathianForest Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Who gives a sh!t about Evander Kane. His hockey career is a huge waste of time. Total coulda-woulda-shoulda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I would say, he did just score 49 points in 56 games this season. If he is trying to throw games, it’s not reflected in his stat line. Doesn’t mean it’s not true, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just you, but a lot of people are insinuating him betting on his team implied throwing games.

I’m not the one making that accusation. If he bet on himself to succeed, it’s less deplorable IMHO but still against the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadana Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I think, like everyone else, both are worthy of each other. In any case, I would not want Kane to be on our team. Even though he would be our best player on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is trying to throw games, it’s not reflected in his stat line. Doesn’t mean it’s not true, of course. Kane had 22 goals and 27 assists this past season for the Sharks, leading the team in both categories. The 29-year-old’s worst stretch of the season coincided with San Jose’s eight-game losing streak in April, when any outside shot at a playoff berth was long gone. During that period, Kane’s only two goals were a shorthanded goal in the third period of a 3-2 loss at Minnesota, and a tally at home against the Wild that cut a third-period deficit to 5-2. If that April swoon by the Sharks isn’t where the NHL’s investigation begins, the league doesn’t know what it’s doing. https://deadspin.com/it-took-a-game-tanking-accusation-for-the-nhl-to-finall-1847403539?utm_campaign=Deadspin&utm_content=1627827851&utm_medium=SocialMarketing&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR09KbrGXyvKVs3aFnYa33GYgCIVeu5PKpQP1MzX27NeO73aaj2XXE6MuGo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 So what are you guys and girls actually willing to give up in a trade for Tarasenko? If the Blues GM is doing his job correctly, I assume a future high pick is going their way if VT plays a certain amount of games the next two years but what’s the base of the trade? I would love to add Tarasenko but there’s really not much I’m willing to give up off the current roster for a older guy with a bum shoulder, especially if we’re taking on the whole cap hit. I hope Fitz just set a really low limit order price and set it to expire at the end of the summer and then left the office until September. He deserves a month off!

Maybe a 2nd and a B level prospect (Boqvist, Walsh, etc)? We shouldn’t have to offer as much as other teams since we’re probably the only one’s who can take on that entire contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what their needs are to be honest, but I’m assuming you are correct, especially since we would eat the money. I have a feeling if there will be a trade, Boqvist will be included. But again, I don’t know where their needs are. It’s more of a gut feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we end up with the winning bid on Tarasenko, I’ll say it’s a 2nd round pick, Boqvist, and Aarne Talvitie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta give to get, I get it, but I kind of want to hold on to Boqvist now that he kind of showed a bit of potential last season and has that versatility to play any position up front. Also, I doubt Mercer or Holtz make the team out of camp but we'll see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Holtz definitely doesn’t seem ready. Mercer is much more likely to at least get a look, but some time in the AHL would probably do him good. I really don’t want to rush any of these young guys. They were patient with Ty Smith and it looks to be paying off. Boqvist already has 63 GP in the NHL, so I expect to continue to see him get a chance with the big club.

Sure, a 22 year old is more ready than a pair of 19 year olds, that makes sense. I don’t know if Boqvist is talented enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes little sense to me for the Devils to trade a young center for an old winger. Boqvist is likely holding down the 3C role next year unless the Devils bring in someone else. If the Devils are giving a roster player, I think it’s likely Kuokkonen. Good young player, promising upside, but sorta in that “man without a position” spot if the Devils fill his role with Tarasenko. I do hope the Devils hold on to Kuok. My guess will be: Mukhmadulin, 2023 3rd round pick, 2024 3rd round pick* 2024 pick becomes a 2nd round pick if Tarasenko plays 75% of NJs games. That wasn’t snark. It’s a fact.

Nicomo Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Boqvist is kind of the opposite of Zacha. He’s looked much better at center. Problem is they kept trying him at wing (I’d be interested in the % if anyone knows where to find that). Hopefully they leave him in the middle going forward. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
