So.....Eager left the ice after the Kassian fight and is now questionable for the home opener due to swelling around his eye and nose.....But ya oilers fans, he undoubtedly won that fight eh?

#Isles Nino Niederreiter's camp is seeking a trade from the Islanders, a source tells ESPNNY. Unhappy with current situation

I don't think he lost it becasue of one lucky shot to the face. As soon as that happened he took over the fight and Kassian was spinning keeping his back to Eager.

Wow.
They're building something competitive which he could be a major player in...I mean, even if they were to relocate it's still a team somewhat on the rise

You pick up 4 or 5 guys up off of waivers during TC and you are a (frank)ing gongshow.

lol ya - just realized that. I don't get it they have so many nice pieces.

Anyway - I hate that Eager is out tonight. We need his toughness against the Great Whites.

Lame.

They have nice pieces, but their owner is (frank)ed in the head.

Kinda shocked Hordi isn't in. I mean he's good for 4 minutes is he not?

Good point.

Perhaps Kreuger will clarify with the local media but I guess he still wants a little more skill out there 'cause if there is a game for Hordi to draw you'd think tonight is as good as any.

Hartsi better play big tonight.

One went to the hospital and is now injured, one is suiting up against the Flames tomorrow.

It was meant more for those momo's Heartz and Iggybuffs, who for some reason fail to comprehend the rational.

What is the rational? He got a shot to the eye. It is swollen. Eager v2 didn;t get a shot back because he was spinning away from Eager v1 who was pissed at said shot to the eye.

There will be a rematch.

Who cares... one team is going for win #2 and the other team will be searching for loss #3

Kassian got worked

Kassian got worked
- RichardHertz

Eager got the first shot in, Kassian popped him in the eye with the left. Its prob good Kassian was more interested in dancing after that because if Eager got hit again in the same spot, it may have been as bad as the Nucks fans claim... neither got worked and I look forward to the rematch...

That sentence should be reserved for something a little more pedantic.

Kassian's a fukking geek. There's a rationale.

From a Flames fan yet.

Eager-Kassian was a pretty bad fight to be honest. Kassian got the better shot in but Eager got more shots in while Kassian tried to squirrel away. Whoever "won" shouldn't be proud of such a low-key showing. Maybe round 2 will show us more...

Too lazy to read if anyone wrote this but niño niedereiter has requested a trade. Tambo get on the phone and make something happen. What would you guys offer up?

We could use ninos size in the top six. Hartikainen and a 2013 Second? Too much or not enough? Consider snow doesn't have to deal him and but the request could also lower the trade value

I'd try Prv straight up. Two guys that underachieved. The real issue here is there are a shortage of guys like Nino out there. Could get expensive.

either way you have to make the call.

I think we'd have to give up more just because of their offensive upsides but I do like the starting point with paajarvi. I'd do paajarvi and a 2nd (anaheims pick).

Sharks dont seem to be dressing a goon so i doubt there's much "need" to play Hordi.

edit: nvm they have mclaren in, but still if we matching up 4th lines, I'd rather have PRV out there as a pseudo-scoring threat to take advantage.
