NHL Discussion (Other than Jets)

He appeared to turn things around during the 2019-20 season but since getting traded, he's fallen off a cliff.

With the right pieces around him, he can be a lethal winger. He doesn't have that support in Columbus, though.

It was a major lose/lose trade for Laine and for us.

Especially with the benefit of hindsight of Maurice walking away and us moving on from Wheeler. I think Laine would have looked real good for us.

One of the bigger misses of franchise history.

He's not worth the most recent contract he signed, IMO. I also don't know if he would've signed for less had he remained with the Jets.

Not sure I agree with hindsight providing any benefit here. The Jets got Iafallo, Vilardi, and Kupari from the return on the Laine trade.

Columbus is probably not far from making some moves to help salvage or to discard the season
Guessing their GM is on thin ice

Guessing that Boston must get quite a few offers for Swayman &/or Ullmark, the Ducks about Gibson
Leafs, Oilers, Hurricanes, Devils come to mind in, perhaps, needing the Cup drive upgrade and I feel why wait till trade deadline

I have to think Holland is on thin ice in Edmonton, too. What a disastrous season for the Oilers.

Yes, Oilers are a mess.

Sounds like Dean Evason is on the hot, hot seat right now with the Wild after they lost their seventh straight to the Red Wings.

Yes, the Wild have fired him.

Hynes takes his spot.

Just watched some highlights from the Panthers/Sens game last night. The Tkachuk brothers were in fine forum.

F Corey Perry has been placed on unconditional waivers by the Chicago Blackhawks for the purpose of contract termination: https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/chicago-blackhawks-put-corey-perry-on-waivers-for-purposes-of-contract-termination-1.2041791

Sounds like he violated the team's code of conduct. The rumour mill's already on full blast. LOL

That was certainly a rabbit hole of a google search...

[Pigskin]

Sounds like he mite have got into a fight with a Blackhawks employee.
