They don’t have a choice. Last time I checked, the Tkachuk’s aren’t UFA’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, they can’t choose directly, if they aren’t going to resign and a trade is imminent (not saying that’s the case), I can see why they would hope their hometown team they grew up loving would be one of the suitors. Indirectly, the team making the trade also has to be confident of their ability to sign them, or be prepared to lose them in free agency, so maybe it still comes into play.

What happened to playing for the team that drafted you? All these fvcktards wanna ‘go home’. It’s fvcking lame. Oh come on, how many times havee we said "so and so is from Jersey or the area, let's go after him." Hell we did the same sh!t with Palms. Sure, they aren't UFAs but lets be perfectly honest, would YOU be willing to stay in Ottawa for one second longer than you needed to if you had the chance to get the hell out, one way or another? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgeControl Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Let me get this right, an NHL player has two covid tests and the doctors and team can't tell if he has it or not. wtf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And likewise anyone who thinks it's going to be 100% anti-Blackwood in the room is also being nieve. The divisiveness this is causing is just another reason I have no use for Blackwood and his foot-dragging right now. Especially when we're less than 24 hours away from him potentially having the virus AGAIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Interesting news article about the microchipped pucks they are using this season... https://www.si.com/hockey/.amp/news/nhl-tracking-pucks-this-season-opening-up-gambling-options After a bumpy start last season with microchipped pucks that didn’t slide right, the latest versions have worked so well that at least one coach wasn’t sure if they were in play yet. “I’m not aware that we have used those pucks yet this season,” Detroit Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. “I wish we would so we could feel them.” That seems to be a good sign. The NHL attempted to track pucks last January, but took them off the ice six days into the season. “We went away from it because the puck didn’t glide right,” Blashill recalled. “It didn’t feel like a real puck. Obviously, that’s the trick. I think puck tracking is a great thing that will really help the analytics a lot.” That is indeed the key: Data generated by the pucks and from sensors about the size of a thumb on the backs of players will be used by teams to develop their players and to scout opponents. Passing, puck possession, takeaways, giveaways and more can be accurately recorded without the potential subjectivity of a scoring crew in an arena.

nessus Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I really wonder what the actual impact of this Blackwood situation will be. There’s no way he’s the number one goalie this season if he can’t be relied on to be available for every game (not just not being able to play in Canada, but the guy couldn’t even make it to the regular season without needing to be held out). It doesn’t help to hear how frustrated Fitz is about it. There may come a time when Fitz decides it’s time to move on, which would be a major blow to our team’s chances of a successful next few years. Really makes me wish the Devils found a way to trade up for Wallstedt in the last draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
