haha ok...I mean, from what's available to them right now, he gives best chance to win over the other options they could go with...

With Jank and Crosby out you’re at 11 forwards and POJ is the only waiver exempt D.

Question: what’s the deal with Konecny on the 4th line for the Flyers? I always liked his game and wouldn’t be against a trade for him in a “hockey trade” (a la Recchi for Tocchet).

Interesting names that I would try to acquire on a hockey trade:
Mantha, Bertuzzi, Keller, Palmieri, E.Staal...

This is TK's first game back since going on the Covid Protocol, they're probably limiting his minutes tonight.

You don’t have the assets for Mantha or Bertuzzi

Looks like 4 RD is more like it unless Riiki was activated?

- 668710

Yeah.. no, its hard to imagine a scenario where he's going anywhere anytime soon. Furthermore, if he DID get a change of scenery trade, I would rather he not be playing in the division, thank you very much. On your team, he's a loveable rogue and you enjoy seeing him get under people's skins. On another team, he'd be a complete D-bag and someone would need to run his ass, ASAP.

Oh poop I forgot about Ruhwedal. Rikki might not be active.

I think I remember reading that JR was either trying to trade for Konecny or was thinking of offer-sheeting him.

Yea that's why I like him, pain in the ass to play against and good. Hate playing against him though lol

While, I'm here I want to say how freaking jealous I am of the hockey coverage you guys get of the Pens on The Athletic.

The Flyers get Charlie O'Connor, who while solid in his coverage is merely one guy who doesnt write every day.

You guys have Rob Rossi, Josh Yohe, and Sean Gentille. The first one is absolutely top notch and the other two are merely very good at what they do, and there's coverage literally every day.





edit: and anymore, none of the local papers are worth the money.

....so....he's not playing this eve?...or is it another paper move (Tojo would know haha)
- MattStrat

Feds covered it, but you make those paper moves on non game days.

I'm not sure how all the rules work with the Covid list, but they're pretty jammed up against the cap and roster limit if they wanted a 13th forward. And POJ is the only one who clears waivers. Guess he's not staying when Riikola gets activated.

I think I'd have gone with 12 forwards over playing a RD on his off-side over POJ, but they might have someone else they're worried about being healthy enough to play. Or they're the Pens and are anticipating someone getting hurt in warm-ups.

LOL, most of us can't stand Rossi. Yohe is considered one of the top beat guys in Pittsburgh. And you missed the analytics guy Jesse Marshall who is really good.

I agree, O'Connor is pretty good. I have no idea how the Pens coverage got so many guys.

The athletic is mostly arrogant douchenozzles imo

He's in lol

Friedman on his off-side. Guess we'll see if he can play there, I certainly have no idea. O'Connor doesn't even dress.

At least you get to see Guentzel-Malkin-Rust
