In that case you didn't add a big name forward which I'm fine with. But would you run that over:

Guentzel-Crosby-Rust
Top 6 trade-Geno-Kap
ZAR-Blueger-Tanev
?-McCann-?

Still hoping for a smaller trade like you did with Glendening to add a wing or two. Just for offense not Glendening.
- Tojo.

I do wonder what the lines will be. I am kind of wondering if Gaudreau has played himself into a 4th Center role.

I could see the lines being

Guentzel-Crosby-Rust
Zucker/McCann or a trade - Geno-Kap
ZAR-Blueger-Tanev
Trade or McCann - Gaudreau - ERod/Angello

I think Sceviour and Jankowski need to be healthy scratched/taxi squad players.

Ekblad and Rackell hurt now. Gonna be an interesting deadline.

Why?

I like Glendenning and think he's a logical fit but he is going to bring zero offensive threat. Reminds me of bringing in guys like Goc and Lapierre, good defensively, good on face offseason but will never pose any threat to score.

If he is all they can get and can be had for a 6th, great. I'd just have a huge preference for someone more in the mold of Cullen or someone who can be a 3C level guy like Getzlaf or Carter.
- MacPatty

Burke probably loves Getzlaf, so I can see that happening. Which I'm good with as well.

Two minutes. If I were Tanev I'd be livid. That is a season ending suspension IMO.

That reminds me of Bertuzzi on Brashear years ago.

Like this is what gets me about NHL officiating. If its going to be a neanderthal league, then just say so and stop ejecting guys for kinda late hits.

I know they aren’t gonna shot talk jank but every comment for months has been overly positive about him. They never bench him whereas they move everyone else around. I hope gadreau takes his spot but they seem to like him.

Yea Gaudreau so far is better.

Well unfortunately there is an instigator rule otherwise this dude would get the poop kicked out of him 5 times per game against the Jets.

Easy for a little wienerhead to crosscheck a guy in the face when someone can't take him out without getting suspended.

Agreed. It can be hard though with all the different personalities of refs we have.

Devils gave us a gift tonight. Let's send them a thank you card.

Wow haha

Ekblad and Rackell hurt now. Gonna be an interesting deadline.
- Feds91Stammer

I feel terrible for Ekblad. He was having a really good season.

I dont know how these two being injured really changes things much. Rackell was kinda maybe available and Florida is still going to comfortably make the playoffs. I dont think they are going to go all in on a RD acquisition because of this.

Wow haha
- 668710

Yeah. Pens beating the Isles and the B's losing to NJ is almost like a double win.

I could see Florida go after Savard and Rakell was highly sought after because of his contract. Not saying these injuries have a major impact but they definitely shake things up.
