Elimination game choke


Like father, like son

Andy Zilch of Krock radio does a great job calling Comets games. Just luv his passion & quality & the fact Utica fans are the best. We are looking good with our farm team there and lets hope it continues for many years. Grats to Comets on a good season.

or Lucic and the 10th for Tanev +
lots of options if willing to blow money on crap contracts

No chance its Tanev plus.. no one is taking that contract plus giving up a good player

Lucic + 10oa is not enough for Tanev by himself. let alone we add

the plus could be a 4th or 5th pick , just saying that your not gonna get the 10th and Lucic without adding , Tanev is not that valuable , if they would throw in Khaira then maybe up the pick to a second. Khaira in this community would sell seats because the indo-canadian community does come out and back players, i would bet theywould probably sell 2000 more season or multiple game packs by adding a player like him.

wow i watch almost every game and IMO Tanev is not that great , steady yes, but in no way a game changer .
he is so overrated it blows my mind

We don’t want to help the Oilers cap woes that badly.
Tanev is for the 10oa minimum. We are not in a fire sale situation & we get good value for a shutdown D or don’t even bother moving him.

Its what the market says & thats all that matters.
Larson for a star 1oa set the bar.
Hamonic enforces that once again.

Lucic is still a decent player , brings leadership and has a good reputation as a dedicated pro , and much needed toughness to a very young team we will have in the next few years.

It’s going to get a little weird after the top 3 picks.

so your saying erat for forsberg set a level too? so we should trade older players on the downswing for young up and coming stars because somebody else did? not how it works , there is such a thing as market correction , and there is no way Tanev is worth a Taylor Hall type just because Edmonton did it

Yes.

Maybe so but...

Lousy & long contract
Slower than molasses
Lost his scoring touch
Why help a divisional rival on their cap?
In a few years he’s lucky to be a 3rd liner

It’s going to get a little weird after the top 3 picks.

i think Zadina might drop a spot or two , which could change alot of teams lists

and with the success of LV this year maybe mobil offensive D have more value then in years past so guys like Boquist and Hughes might jump into the top 5 dropping good forwards down

I never said a Hall for Tanev it was an example only.
A 10oa is far from a Hall
2-1sts & a 2nd for Hamonic says Tanev is worth more than some believe.
If no takers then no probs keeping him.

I’m figuring teams pick dual purpose after the top 2 as in need/bpa at that position.
That said a D run will happen but who wants Wahlstrom will change that.
Tkachuk will fall through it all in my estimation.

Wow good job by WPG scoring 2 that fast 29 seconds

do you think they would do that trade for Hamonic again? i think not , and using other deals can be also looked at as a guage to what not to do. And in my mind Hamonic is a better D then Tanev

Buffalo no brainer Dahlin
Carolina need scoring Svechnikov
Montreal need a C & scoring maybe Wahlstrom
Ottawa need D or a C Boqvist
Arizona need D Hughes
Detroit need D Dobson
Vancouver BPA or D ??? Zadina Tkachuk Bouchard

Thats my scenario but open to changes

i thinking along the same lines

- onesmallleap

No not again & yes Hamonic is better.
Still it leaves a lot of room to extract the most for Tanev & my target is NYI

Lottery for picks 1-5 and only for teams 1-5 all with equal chances. picks 6-15 being set based off of standings.
- Retinalz

yes, perfect

this business of going 11 to 2 this year and 13-2 last year is ridiculous ....totally (frank)ed

It's a nice thought, but Zadina will 100% be gone when we pick.
