Jesse’s horrifying scream when Detroit traded for Husso was incredible
Time stamp?
1:12:17
I loved it
@@jackconroy6 thanks man
I think you should work that scream into an ongoing sound effect for the show. It is great!
Jesse's rage-shriek at 1:12:15 is an all-timer.
As an Avs fan, I almost didn't turn on the draft. Listening to Bettman speak French and watching the crowd mock him was worth it. Also, I never thought you all would mention my home state on the pod (Kentucky).
What's a Kentucky?
Lol hi from Manitoba
I wonder if KFC is better in Kentucky than it is in Jamaica
Best I’ve ever had was in Kingston JA
It sucks in Toronto area 🤮
KFC sucks everywhere.
Welcome to Montreal guys ! Habs fan here. Love watching your videos Steve Dangle 😀
@@roberthudgell6084
You need to go to the Chicken Hut in Limerick, ireland. They still use the original recipe there.
1:12:20 is a great moment in time - I was happy when I saw the trade, and it’s funny to see the opposite reaction occurring in the next province over.
So…we didn’t get Jack Hughes x2 but we did get Elias Pettersson x2
Shane Wright went back and forth for almost 30 mins signing stuff and taking pictures with everyone it was so nice and I was devastated when he wasn't drafted by us. He seemed like the nicest guy and even just stopped to talk to us. Wish him the best and hopefully slaf was the right pick
I think that was some of the reason he dropped. To be the best, usually, you can't be the nicest because it can lower your competitiveness.
Love to see the boys on the road nice and cozy
Nothing was worse than in 2005 when Aaron Rodgers having to wait until he was drafted 24th, when he had a chance to be Number 1.
He’s made the league (especially the NFC North) regret it ever since.
Stan Bowman’s “ tinkering around the edges” included trading Teuvo Teräväinen as a throw-in on a salary dump trade. Trading Philip Danault for a couple of stiffs and Artemi Panarin for basically nothing.
Might have been my favorite podcast yet, great job guys!
Hurricanes fan who just heard Steve say “You know who I didn’t do much of anything yesterday? Philadelphia.” And I think I want to say thank you.
Don’t forget boys, the 2nd the Jackets got from Chicago was turned into Jake Bean, another defenseman
Jake Bean was picked 1 spot ahead of Charlie McAvoy. Talk about screwing up!
@@greggburke3770 the Canes certainly messed up, but Bean is still a solid defenseman
Debrincat as the triggerman for Stutzle is going to be awesome. Can't wait
Submarine to the cat.
Thanks for talking about the Dach trade Tree. It was Diaz for Weise. Appreciate you talking about it
Woohoo! Finally have internet to watch this (ty Rogers)!
Outside of Price and this draft there were already seeds of a rivalry given their playoff history (Has & Seattle).
Jesse's scream during the Husso trade looool
Other charts have that pick swap to dump Mrazek as the equivalent value of a late 2nd. It definitely isn't equivalent to a 7th.
Though with that said, it needed to happen and the price wasn't too bad.
Ya I don’t know what model the guy is using that trading up 13 spots (38->25) is worth a 7th round pick. Jumping up that far, especially into the first round, almost always costs another 2nd.
Still a decent trade, but a lot more models suggest it’s closer to a 2nd then a 7th.
There’s a chart somewhere showing odds of players picked inside top 10 and from like 11-60 and you’d be surprised on how little difference 11-60 makes on the percentage of how many make it and play 200 nhl games
Yeah I don’t understand the praise for dubas on this trade…he signed a horrible contract to a bad goaltender and then had to give up a prominent draft pick to get out of it …. That’s not a great deal lol
@@chizzy1212 since when was the 25th pick a prominent pick lmao, they literally moved 12 spots and got rid of a lot of salary, plus them moving any of holl, muzzin or kerfoot will open up even more cap space. this years draft was a total crapshoot and there was very little consensus on the prospects so at some point, the value of the picks definitely dipped a lot cuz the chances were that you could get a player that fulfilled your teams needs wherever you picked
@@acobb7961 yeah basically that’s how they valued the 7th. But these last 2-3 drafts being affected by covid and seasons shortened will leave lots of doors open for 2-3 round picks being way better than normal if it was harder to scout where they play
This podcast looks beautiful
That tongue kiss was unexpected and intense!! 😘 🤣
So pumped for this one! CJ show killed it yesterday
Early today arent we?
Special occasions tend to go that way.
@@VxJasonxV I can feel the smart ass In you from here
Had to so Steve could cover rounds 2 thru 7 of the draft
Jesse's laugh at 33:35 is a mood, although that scream was top-notch
Is the first round over yet!! Man that was painfully slow last night!!
Buffalo definitely doesn’t need Bedard although he’d obviously help. Their prospect pool is insane. Tage Thompson who’s huge, and a goal scorer, Dahlin, Power, now Matthew Savoie, JJ Peterka, and I’m sure there’s others I’m forgetting as well.
Elite title jessie
As a Habs fan I honestly thought they were gonna pick Wright, and I thought it would be the smarter pick, that doesn't mean I'm not happy to have Slafkovsky, he's (hopefully) going to develop into a great player and, ultimately, he's one of our own now. Gotta cheer for the guy and hope he turns out well for the sake of the team
Canucks need to trade for marcus pettersson for the chance of a goal by Pettersson, assisted by Pettersson and Pettersson
the show start with a bet reference, great. I should have bet my house on that pick.
I am a Red Wings fan and I congratulate Kyle Dubas on the Mrazek trade. Well done!
I can't wait for the Leafs tandem of Murray and Hutch!
Hutch is a ufa so unless he gets a contract and they trade for Murray nothing you said is true lol
@@Deenaziamazinjg14 Oilers are gonna sign Kuemper so you either trade for Murray or try to resign Campbell. Either way you're fucked
🤣
@@RG-lr4pk I'm sure they will
@@platapus112 Kuemper going to the Caps and Campbell staying in Toronto 😆
I think toronto is stepping back this year. They just don't have the quality spread out. Going to be tough.
We are missing the picture; Coyotes are playing on the same ice as Arizona State University, right? Right. 18 yr olds and older that were missed at the draft will be playing on ASUs (see players like Niedermeyer) ice surface, in front of Coyotes mgmt. USNT and USHL programs (both U17 and U18) play exhibition games 'cross country vs NCAA teams.
The only thing I can think of for Chicago's thought process is that they're gambling on Bedard and want to match their rebuild timeline to having the right pieces when he's in his prime. Dach and Debrinkat are 1 or 2 years ahead of that schedule and reduce their chances of getting in a good spot for that draft lottery
Dach was a shell of his firmer self after that gruesome wrist injury. I also think the old Hawks regime did him no favors by rushing him to hype up prospects which they were notorious for doing. Boqvist is that list too. They threw him to the wolves.
@@jasonprice9823
I think the Hawks rushed him back and lead to the reinjury; then should've let him readjust and condition in the AHL for at least the first part of 21/22.
Proper care and facilities and a little bulking up program over the summer, I think he should be able to compete for a roster spot and eventually find himself a 2 or 2.5 centre spot on the team.
@@iangurudata yes I can agree on that. People flame Bowman for the moves he made (rightly so) but one of the major problems with his time in Chicago was the complete lack of prospect development. They haven't developed a defenseman since Hjalmarsson and the forwards aren't much better. That really needs to change with the new FO.
No ad to start the pod?!?!? Amazing
I remember seeing an Avs vs Sens game years ago and some stooge had a Lafreniere Sens jersey months before the draft that year even took place...awk.
As a Habs fan, I was YELLING at the screen when Bettman announced the second trade also involved Habs. I thought they were trading for the 4th pick to get Wright as well. So for a second it was a let down, but then after it settled, I think it was a good set of trades. Dach will get better. I just hope we don't regret getting rid of Romanov.
Only the Habs and their fans believe Dach will get better. Chicago and the rest of the world are not so sure.
That was my thought as well but upon reflecting on that I don't know how smart it would be to grab Wright at #4 after picking Slaf over him. Unless everyones the nicest people ever there would be some tension there.
@@e-rod1596
The rest of the world doesn't share your opinion. You obviously didn't listen to the podcast...
@@e-rod1596 I’m a leafs fan who doesn’t like the habs but Dach has great potential if he can stay healthy. He’s still very young.
@@e-rod1596 E- rod: My source is just trust me, my opinion is everyone who isn’t a Montreal fan’s opinion.
All the podcast guys and other guys calling you out: No, just no.
Jesse’s reaction to the Husso trade 😂🤣😂🤣
I'm interested to see how many teams tank for Bedard.
Leafs trade first round pick to fix one of several bad Dubas contracts: "Ah its a good deal, doesn't cost a lot"
Red Wings trade a third round pick for the exclusive negotiation rights of a solid (at for long stretches last season, clear #1 option) goaltender: "Wow that's a lot to give up"
Makes sense.
Husso was a UFA, that's why it's considered a lot to give up. They could have just tried to get him in UFA for free.
@@EamonnJCF Hard disagree. If they waited until he was officially UFA (which would be on July 13th) Detroit would be competing against other teams' offers. By trading for his rights the Red Wings have exclusive negotiation rights until then.
Personally, I think trading a 3rd for nearly a week of exclusive negotiation rights is worth it, but if someone thinks otherwise I could see the argument for it.
I just think it's crazy to say that Detroit overpaid while at the same saying that that the Leafs trading out of the first round to get rid of a nearly $4million bad contract (a bad contract that Dubas himself signed) is not overpaying because "late first round picks aren't worth much".
@@meleekunis2196 It is about cap space. The Leafs are hard against the cap, keeping Mrazek would've probably cost the Leafs two good young players going into RFA. By trading that bad contract, they freed up all that cap space. It isn't a great trade, but the League isn't a charity. Teams aren't in a hurry to save another team from a bad contract for basically nothing. This is why a late first rounder to get rid of the two remaining years on the deal isn't too crazy. At the same time, trading for an exclusive negotiation window for a UFA is REALLY a gamble. It would be a different story if he was a RFA, where you have the right to match. If he had been determined to test the open market Detroit would have traded a 3rd to Carolina for absolutely nothing. That is why when the trade was made by Detroit it didn't make a ton of sense.
I'm not arguing that the Mrazek trade was bad; I'm actually in favor of it. The Mrazek contract was a bad deal, and they had to pay a fairly steep price to get rid of it in order to get back some cap space (late or not, a first is a first).
I also, personally, feel the Detroit spending a 3rd round pick to gamble on getting on getting a deal done with a pretty solid goaltender is also a good trade. I get that Husso is a UFA and not an RFA (i.e. more risk), but for me a 3rd round pick is reasonable to take that type of risk.
My issue was with them pretending like the Detroit deal was worse then the Leafs deal. The Leafs had to move a first; Detroit only moved a third. And Detroit made the trade to aquire someone, while the Leafs made a trade to get rid of someone because Dubas made a bad deal.
I could understand people saying both trades were good, or even both trades are bad, but saying that the Leafs won their trade while at the same time that Detroit overpaid is outrages.
@@meleekunis2196 As they pointed out, the trade wasn't just a 1st and Mrazek to dump salary. That would be a bad trade. The Leafs just moved down 13 draft spots and got rid of Mrazek. Statistically, the pick the Leafs traded and the pick they got are essentially the same in terms of value. When values of picks are factored in, they essentially traded Mrazek and a 7th for almost $4 million in cap relief with a cap strapped team. That is objectively a very low price to pay in order to get your team out of cap hell. The Detroit trade ended up being good because they were able to get a deal done. However, that trade could've gone VERY badly. Imagine a universe where Detroit makes the trade and is unable to sign him. Then the second the UFA period opens, he signs a free agent deal back with Carolina. In that situation, Carolina gets both the player and the pick. That was a very real possibility. At the time, I also felt Detroit overpaid a little. A week of exclusivity for negotiations on a UFA is worth a 4th, tops. We can't use the benefit of hindsight in evaluating if a trade was considered fair at the time of the trade. For instance, the Subban/Weber trade. At the time of the trade, literally the whole hockey world was convinced Nashville fleeced the Canadiens. With the benefit of hindsight, that opinion has flipped.
You should do a “trade” tree for the Scott Stevens Offersheet
So Ville Husso sign an extension after being traded to Detroit 4.5 for 3 yrs !
They are so hamstrung and stubbornly not willing to trade a roster player they have lost a affordable goalie . It Cost Detroit a 3rd round pick!
Steal and bargin
Kevin Weekes on ESPN was also pretty negative on the trade return for Debrincat. said "I feel like the left something on the table."
HOW DID YOU NOT TALK ABOUT THE CRAZY SLIP OF BRAD LAMBERT
Mr Wright develops in Seattle and competes with Beniers and Winterton (McTavish's Hamilton teammate).
I’m downloading this at my local Starbucks to listen at home cuz of the rogers outtage
The first round was so long, I had time to watch the Habs draft Slafkovsky, go play 9 holes of golf and be back for the 26th pick to see the habs draft Mesar lol
I watched the draft today and was shocked to see Bettman, his health looks like it's declining. He shakes and I immediately thought he has Parkinson's or in the early stage. As a Avs fan I was surprised Marek Hejduk wasn't drafted maybe next year.
I was thinking the same thing about Bettman, specifically the tremors.
@@roberthudgell6084 I agree...unfortunately I spent more time watching him today than him announcing trades and whatever. I saw him before I think in March it was bad but not like today.
He didn’t present the Conn Smythe or the Stanley Cup this year either. It was impossible to miss during the whole Kyle Beach saga last year, too. I actually thought he looked way worse then. Hope he’s going to be fine…
@@oschiott They did announce Bettman had Covid. I don't like Bettman but I don't want to see anyone with Parkinson or anything else. But I agree I hope he will be ok.
I think the Dach trade makes a lot of sense. Debrincat not so much.
Dach might become a decent 2nd liner but so could Nazar. Ultimately it came down to what kind of player the team wanted. Do you want potentially a creative, speedy center or a bigger and more defensive center?
Ultimately the Hawks wanted to get faster and have a higher compete level. Best of Luck to Dach!
I agree. Debriincat is elite and had 40+ goals last year as basically a point per game player. Dach on the other hand had 4th line type numbers. 9 goals in 70 games is not 2C material
The Debrincat trade was essentially done because they had no other options to get into the top ten. They're now a tank/rebuild team and that's hard to do with 1st round picks. Yes, he's absolutely a top talent but Hawks writer Scott Powers had a source tell him to expect about what Wild got for Fiala. Well Alex is better and the Hawks got more so this is a perfect example of the public not knowing what the value of players are.
I don’t think this could or SHOULD be accessible, but I always wish I knew which GM initiates the trade
Has anyone else noticed this podcast has only went from 63k subs to 67,... In 3 years??? Lol that's some crazy growth guys.
Chicago is driving hard toward the Connor Bedard sweepstake.
oh snap we got double dividers in the title
Really want to hear all the guys' opinions on Kentucky as a native Kentuckian
As a Finn, that horrible, screeching, gut wrenching voice from Jesse after he heard about The Ville Husso trade, strangely warms my heart and also makes me feel sad for him.
So mixed feelings
"Who is Raphael Diaz? " lol
“Do you want to hear my in-depth opinion on Kentucky?”
me, a guy from kentucky. “actually, yes. Yes I do!”
whoever has that Wright jersey should mail it to him in Seattle.
If you have to have ads to pay for the bills, well at least you make them fun!
With the addition of DeBrincat and Sanderson, and the potential trade for a top 4 Dman, the Sens are my sleeper pick as the next team to knock out the Leafs in the first round.... . Poor Steve
Glenn Heally called him Cameron Diaz.
Letang was 6th in d man points but this cap hit will only rank 57th, barring serious injury this'll be a good contract for 3-4 years, and by the time it's not a good deal the pens won't be competitive and the cap will go up. So as a bias pens fan I'm not too upset about the deal
Bold move to wear the Jersey? Not in Montreal. We're hockey fans above all else, Montreal fans will cheer for a kid getting drafted to any team, it's a kid realizing his dreams of being drafted in the best hockey league on the planet, a league we love to watch every year. We don't care where he's from or who he's gonna play for, we're proud of the kid. That's Montreal!
Lmao my dad asked is that the guy who you used to watch at the old house, mind you there was no such thing call The Steve Dangle Podcast back then lol it was just LFR’s back in the day
Bettman is the NHL version of Goodell.
39:00 They changed the lottery rules. The farthest you can drip to is 3rd. And Adam Fantilli is definitely worth a tank.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO"
- Jesse Blake, 2022
As a Hawks fan - need to provide some context. Bowman spent a boatload of capital last year (including the Hawks 2022 1st which ended up being 6th overall) to get Seth Jones and try to make the team competitive. That failed miserably, and the the new GM decided that whatever else he had to do something drastic to jumpstart the rebuild. My thought is that the Hawks know they're going to be terrible which would impact their ability to resign Debrincat, so they decided to move him, and then got taken to the cleaners in that deal. Dach had really struggled after breaking his wrist at the WJC, so IMO they were just trying to reset the clock. One issue with the podcast - can you provide an example of moving up 13 spots from the 2nd into the first only costing a 7th round DP? I know that was the guys post on Twitter, but IMO there is NO way that can be accurate. Would love any sort of example to back that up.
I will start growing my playoff beard at the start of the season and keep growing it until they win the Stanley Cup
Seattle is set at center for the next 15 years Wright and Beniers are a monster 1-2 punch.
Any reason these Friday podcasts often don’t go up on The Athletic at the same time as they go up on TH-cam? Sometimes it takes the whole weekend
I'm a hawks fan... I'm not sure how to recover from this 😫🤦♂️
I'm a Sens fan... Thank you
I'm a fan of both. So I'm good 👍
On the bright side
Things can only improve from this point. Speaking from experience
Change your calendar date to 2015 xD
Same here buddy, I’m with you
1:12:19 a Nazgul has entered the chat.
Jesse's comment "Toews and Kane have won 0 cups since their 10.5 mil/year contracts" angered me. Firstly, they won 3 cups so they have earned that money. Secondly, why Oilers pay McDavid 12.5 mil/year he hasn't won any cups as well. Looking at the 2022 salary hit list top 10 have 3 cup winners (Kane, Toews, Doughty) so does that mean the rest are bad? So teams need/should pay players once a year, if they won a cup they get paid, and if not then they don't get paid?
Also, Chicago could sign Cat back in free agency and Sens would have given up all those draft picks for a few years of Cat. Sure if they win a cup during that time then they might say it was worth it. It was just like the Panarin-Saad trade. Chicago knew that they couldn't afford Panarin when his deal was up, so they traded him to Columbus to get back Saad, and then Panarin walked away to NYR leaving Columbus with nothing.
"You could still pick 4th"
.... Aaaaaand get Cale Makar!
Let’s go Yotes!
I wonder if Romanov, Calgary’s first and Florida’s first would have been enough for #4? Or is that too much?
Man that's some nice green screening
I, for one, long for the SDPN to take over production of the draft so Adam can force the rounds to be 30 minutes long.
I think the main difference between the Leafs and Oilers trades was that Mrazek is still a useful goalie whereas Kassian isn't able to fight anymore, therefore making him not a useful player at all anymore.
Mrazek was anything but useful last season. He was absolutely God awful
@@ericchilton6863 It's pretty likely that it was an outlier year for him, mostly due to injuries. He's been better all his career up to then.
@@Marixa1979 The truth is that he's an NHL goaltender. Teams are paying for those and Mrazek has a contract. That being said I was pissed when Dubas signed him. I mean all teams sign bad contracts but what got me was that everyone forgets that during the whole, lost to a zamboni driver thing the reason a zamboni driver was in was because Mrazek went way out of his net in a needless play that got him injured when there was nobody on the bench. Every team signs bad contracts and as far as getting out of one goes Dubas did well. Mrazek is always going to be hurt because he does it to himself. He's injury prone.
Great podcast guys. I have commented before and am happy to hear we are on the same page as far as Stan Bowman. Here in Chicago, he got away scot-free. No radio show will mention he was a terrible GM. I tossed my phone at the wall when he drafted Lucas Reichl over Dawson Mercer and again when he traded for Seth Jones and signed him to that insane contract. To get some new viewpoints on the organization I wish the Blackhawks would have hired Mathieu Darche as the GM. However, Davidson got the job because the higher-ups ( Rocky and Danny Wirtz ) wanted to save money and wanted a familiar face. But they will get what they deserve now. My question to you and the comment section is: Which team makes the playoffs first and which team makes the playoff last? Please put are year you think they will make the playoffs. Arizona, Chicago, Seattle.
I can see Seattle making the playoffs in 24, Arizona 25 or 26, Chicago, damn who knows. When Kane starts to decline, which has to be sooner rather than later, they will be BURNED.
@@philtorrez4198 I agree Seattle 24 Arizona 26 Hawks 29. If Seattle gets a top 3 pick next draft they will be set. Hawks have terrible organization . Hope they get what they deserve
I agree with Adam, make the NHL draft more like the NFL draft
A friend of mine got a picture with Shane and a made a Shane wright jersey for the habs and got it signed because my friend is a huge habs fan
Jesse sitting on the left is hurting my brain.
Currently watching at a timmies , because Rogers and there issues .
Luckily I have Telus to watch this😁
Can we talk about the fact that when gare bear announced the Leafs Hawks trade he called Mrazek “Mzarek”
Can you guys clip Jesse’s scream and put it on a 10 hour loop
The Dach Thornton comparison is a bit silly given how much younger the NHL has gotten since 1997. Thornton had 60 points in his third season to Dach's 26. Also this show has gotten so catty it's amazing how much time you guys spend calling like a third of the people in the league morons.
Dach cant get out of the way of hits, his awareness is low.
He skates good for a big man, and can dangle a little bit.
He learned to play defense and back check so those are his strengths.
Skating, defense, and backchecking.
That is not what he was drafted for.
Dach is more like Artem Anisimov imo. Big bodied C who cannot win a faceoff and cant avoid hits. At least that was Anisimov early in his career and 1st year with the Hawks.
Then Anisimov got better at the dot and defense came a long.
I dunno what to make of Dach other than he needs a change in scenery. We did a poor job developing him.
I heard Wright was told wednesday that he would not be the pick from the Habs, so he knew what was going on.
Herein lies the problem with people being able to bet on the draft.
It’s tough being a ‘Hawks fan at the moment, but following them closely, I get what they’re doing. Kyle Davidson has said that the only guys that are untouchables are the ones with no-trade clauses. These guys have earned their statuses, he has stated numerous times. The most crushing thing to me, personally, is the fact that they’ve mistreated Kyle Beach so badly. Hockey’s just a game, it’s NEVER more important than any human being. In my mind, there’s a huge asterisk next to their 2010 cup win, and I’d be happy if they flush out all of the remnants of the team that Stan Bowman built and/or managed. Not because I think he did that part of his job poorly, or that I don’t like the players. I’ve been devestated every time they’ve lost players I like, but to be honest with you, I like the fact that they’re decimating Stan Bowman’s old team. As you said, there’s very few pieces of that team left, and though Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane are players I love and adore, I think the management team is making a necessary and important statement by moving away from that extremely successful, yet more importantly, grim and dark time in the franchise’s history. I wanted to stop following the team when the news hit, but I’ve found out I can’t. To me the logo on the front of the jersey is much more important than the names on the back. Yes, I too feel they got kind of hosed regarding DeBrincat, but I actually like both the Dach and the Mrazek deals. If you sum up what the ‘Hawks lost that day and what they gained, considering their obvious wish of cleaning away Stan Bowman’s stuff, I think the value they got is pretty good. Yes, it won’t yield immediate success, but I’m old enough to know that it’s worth the wait, if this will make them great in five years time. Go ‘Hawks!
You know, who played for Vityaz Chekhov during that "mobster" season? It was PANARIN'S rookie season!
As a Hawks fan since 1985 I don't understand any of this... All I can say is that I saw my home team have a fantastic decade be a consistent contender year in and year out and win 3 Cups in 5 years.... Look, Stan Bowman would have NEVER, NEVER made these trades - Dach & DeBrincat were untouchable under Bowman... Man, the Seth Jones trade was a mistake and these 2 trades are going to be a mistake.... I'm 42 and I'm SIGNIFICANTLY more qualified to GM the Blackhawks over Davidson - I mean I've been a hockey nut since before Davidson was born.... Unbelievable - YOU DONT TRADE DeBRINCAT, YOU DONT TRADE DACH.......... NO, Columbus got the 6th overall pick in this past draft from the Hawks - Columbus got Boqvist and the 6th overall pick in yesterdays draft for Seth Jones AT 8.5 million per none the less......
But like I said - I saw the Hawks have a decade of success and it was only a matter of time before the Hawks had to rebuild - I just wish the Hawks would have managed their assets a little more wisely...smh
They are clearly tanking for Bedard.
Dach and Debrindcat interferes with that agenda
I would expect a 42 year hockey fan veteran, one that self claims to be knowledgeable enough to be an NHL executive, to be able to clearly realize this, and that Dach and Debrindcat aren’t game changing players, they’re good complimentary players.
I understand what you mean. But maybe the new GM wants to establish his mark. Hawks now look bad on the Seth Jones trade. On the flipside, the last Hawks rebuild took some time. So I trust their work.
Shane Wright is from Burlington. He is probably happy not to go to Montreal. Most likely he is thankful as hell not to go there LMAO
You forgot to mention how the Blackhawks said they got their guy with Korchinski at number 7, then Korchinski immediately said in his interview that he never even met them and was shocked to be picked that high.
Arizonas season is gonna be the 13 game road trip from November to December they have a great chance at last place if they lose all 13 games
43:50 Wow no double digit player ever won the cup that’s crazy to think about.
As a hawks fan… idk what they’re doing either…
The difference between Kassian and Mrazek is that Kassian can play for your team every night, even if his contribution doesn't match his salary. Playing Mrazek means giving a player better than him the night off.
Exactly. You can hide a bruiser player and shelter his minutes but the goalie is either going to play well, lose, or get pulled. I feel kassian can play more consistently at a lower game impact just based on the positions they play alone.
