In itself, those were not dumb trades. Bad timing no doubt.
Had the season gone like a normal one, we might have seen different results for them.
I do think he makes mistake, but sometimes you get different messages from the coach.
Seeing how poorly WPG is playing and NAS struggle, you have to wonder.
For every loss we get, I want to see one win for each of the teams below us.
If Tanev is out against SJS, I don't hold much hope for a win.
The Vegas game had to be the weirdest finish I have seen before.
Inside 3 minutes we pull the goalie with the 4th line on the ice.
Toffoli comes on as the extra man.
Unit plays almost a minute.
I can't explain it.
The prudent thing was to not throw away picks/prospects for a rental.
Any longer term contracts would have a big impact on next year.
BT knew we weren't going to come close.
Knows excatly what's going on with the team.
Huberdeau $5.9M 14g 35a 49 points
Mangiapane $5.8M 14g 21a 35 points
Backlund $5.350M 17g 32a 49 points
Lucic $5.250M 6g 11a 17 points
Coleman $4.9M 17g 18a 35 points
This year there were a lot of worst contract on our team.
The important part is what he is like next year. Same for the others.
We can't afford to pay near $5M or more for players that have 35 points.
This is Backlund's 2nd best year's and he's still just 49 points.
Quick comes on with no real warmup.
4th line already out for a shift.
We keep them out.
Lose the O-zone, then they create some chances in our zone.
4th line caught out.
Am I missing why you make these decisions?
4th line is the power line to maintian momentum.
Well, I guess they are even overall.
One for a goal for and one against.
I guess the plan was to injure the goalie?
