NHL Discussion (Other than Jets)

[Pigskin]

OV not having a good year, at this rate he won't catch the Great one. 22 Games, 5G, 9A. I believe 4 of his 5 goals have come on the PP.

Ex-Jets:

Copp: 24 Games. 5G, 6A.

Laine: 16 Games. 5G, 2A

Wheeler: 24 Games. 2G, 4A.

PLD: 22 Games. 5G, 6A.

to go along with your info Pigskin
Copp is 29 now and he is at $ 5.625 mill a year
Wheels as we know is hockey "old" and the Rangers gave him 800K while the Jets pay him $ 2.75 M for the last 2 years
Meanwhile PLD at age 25 gets $ 8.5M and Laine, who seems to have been around for ever, is 25  and makes $ 8.7M

Chevy made some correct moves on the above, IMO, and more big decisions will happen down the road

Berube fired.

Laine out six weeks with fractured clavicle: https://www.nhl.com/bluejackets/news/blue-jackets-patrik-laine-clavicle-fracture

Such a shame. His career has taken such a turn for the worst.

Berube fired.

Seems like he just lead the blues to the Stanley cup and now let go, wow, talk about a cold , what have you done for me lately business

Senators fire HC Smith, Martin becomes interim HC: https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/ottawa-senators-fire-head-coach-d-j-smith-jacques-martin-named-interim-coach-1.2050565

[Jockitch]

so do we couch potatoes start sending a few Sens players elsewhere ?  Course the NHL trade freeze is on, but start considering

Sens need defensemen and their overall team play has been noted as soft.
Other then Sanderson, Norris, Tkachuk, Stuetzle, maybe Chychrun and probably the injured Chabot .... the rest are moveable IMO

you can't win the cup every year. 4 years ago is relatively recent, and boom out the door you go.

Who said anything about winning the cup every year? Four years can be a lifetime in the "what have you done lately?" and sometimes unforgiving world of pro sports.

In Berube's case, the Blues missed the playoffs last season after finishing sixth in the division. In 28 games this season, they were 13-14-1. I'm not saying firing him was the right move but a head coach is generally the first to go when a team isn't performing well.

That's too bad. I remember being excited about him but he never really panned out to expectations. Health issues seem to have been the death knell. Poor guy

Yes, this is sad. The kid had so much talent.
