Their two options are to become a better franchise through good moves, OR Move up to Seattle This is the first time, in years, that the Coyotes have looked serious about attempting to stay in Phoenix, in a sustainable way. Talks with the Suns about a joint arena venture have started back up, and there's even rumors that Barroway is trying to deal with Glendale for an equitable arrangement, in the meantime. (I'm dating a die-hard Coyotes fan. I hear more about their moves and business than I really care to). I think that it may be too little, too late. Nashville has proven that you can turn a market around, though. As long as they make good moves and stop acting like the market owes them their allegiance, and get to a more favorable location, they could have a shot at proving most of us wrong.

Moving a WHA team out of a Canadian market and then later back into a former WHA Canadian market? That's probably more of an admission of being wrong than the League could stomach, even if only in appearance. Plus the "unbalancing" of the conferences. (Red Wings back to the west, oh the humanity!) A Carolina relocation is still Quebec's best hope of rejoining the league, IMO.

Sodboy13 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Saad for Panarin is an incredible deal for the Hawks. Saad is younger, a better two-way player, and on a longer contract. I wouldn't call him a Hossa replacement, but he slots in a lot better than anything the Hawks had in-house. Panarin is a couple years older, and if he keeps producing at this rate, you're going to have to pay out the ass for him. But if he wants to keep producing at this rate, he's going to have to start doing more in the offensive zone than wait for his devastating one-timer to fire off. Even Pat Foley noticed he was glued to the walls for the entire Nashville series. Betting tonight the Hawks ship off Kruger and whatever for one of Vegas' first-round picks. Also, maybe get some defense sometime instead of relying on Michal Rozsival? idk On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

Brass Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 NHL draft should be interesting tonight. I'm hoping the Bruins don't screw this up too badly. Considering Jake DeBrusk, Jakub Zboril nor Zachary Senyshyn have made their debuts yet and they were picked in a stacked 2015 first round, I don't have high expectations. Bruins will most likely end up taking a Swedish forward who won't sniff the NHL for another 4-5 years ala Carl Soderberg. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

crashcarson15 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I think I’m fine with this. Kinda feel like I did with the Johansen/Jones trade; I really hate losing the player the Jackets traded, in this case Saad, but think the new guy, Panarin, is more what this team needs. Jackets need that type of guy who has top-level offensive skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackets need that type of guy who has top-level offensive skill. I've talked myself into it. We have a lot of setup guys and fewer dynamic finishers. Panarin can finish, especially if he's on a line with Wennberg. My discomfort comes from Saad having four years on his contract to Panarin's two and I got emotionally attached to him. He tilted the ice 5 on 5, came to a less than ideal situation and didn't bitch about it. He's a good dude and played his ass off for us. The anti jeff Carter.

There's something to be said for that, but I don't think "Hall of Famer" should be it. So, it's his fault the rest of the team sucked? To say flat out that he doesn't deserve it is a bit much. Admittedly, I always thought he was a borderline candidate, and I'm not naive enough to say that his induction doesn't have anything to do with Selanne being inducted this year too. That narrative certainly helped his cause. Plus the discussion started by Lindros the year before and Pavel Bure's case as well probably helped push it forward. All that aside, he has his qualifications. Put up a point-per-game pace, 989 points in 989 games, most of which in the trap era. 100 points twice (99 points in 69 games in 96-97) in a career that, much like Lindros and his induction last year, was just destroyed by injuries. In that 96-97 season (52-goal, 117-point 82-game pace), he missed 13 games due to injury (1st concussion by Matthieu Schneider, and abdominal strain). In 1997-98, he was limited to just 22 games with 17 goals and 31 points (63-goal, 115-point 82-game pace). Now 32 of those games were for contract holdout, so even in 50 games that's 38 goals, 70 points, but Kariya missed the Olympics and the final 3 months of the season with a concussion from Gary Suter. Just those two seasons is potentially 57 points and 29 goals lost. He did post 101 points the season after, but he was up and down forever after that Suter concussion. (And as great as his 2003 "off the floor, on the board" moment was, we all know Stevens damn near killed him.) He lost a season due to lockout, and only played 11 games in 2008-09 (a hip injury against the Ducks, coincidentally, on a hit from behind) and ended his career the next season sighting post-concussion syndrome, not that hip injury. Basically, had he not been kabonged a couple times, Kariya could've had close to 1,200 points in his NHL career, add in some self sabotage with the 32-game holdout and the full season lockout. And with precedents set by Eric Lindros and Pavel Bure, Paul Kariya has the qualifications to be up there with those guys. Not to mention his freshman season at Maine (100 points in 39 games, first freshman to win the Hobey Baker), World Junior Gold, World Championship Gold (and silver), Olympic Gold (and silver). It is the *hockey* hall of fame after all, not just the NHL hall of fame. If he had never gotten his call to the hall, I would've understood. He is on that borderline. But to flat out say he doesn't deserve it? That's harsh. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
