That's fair. We also do not know for sure, how many deals were in place or fell apart? I may have been ready to happen last week?

I have 16 guys on my fantasy hockey team:

Chickenrun
Luke shenn
Pk88

Tough navigating the waters lately. Hits count...

It seems like the framework was set up a few times but teams like LA said no we're not adding so and so also and Billy told Rob to frig off.

Of course if chickrun was injured like say, ef bear, in the past week or so... what's his value then?

Again, the Arizona Coyotes are smarter then a hockeybuzz poster.

- Boss34


Are they?

Didn't they hire a crook? and got some picks taken away?

Arent they still run by the league? Do they not play in a college arena?

A hockeybuzz poster couldn't run that franchise any worse.

Maybe our system goalie coach can click his heels together 3 times and go back to wherever he came from.

The goaltending is an issue but imo it's not THE issue. Yes, an elite goalie would be awesome and would be better than any of the 3 we have and it would be incredible to have that. But we don't have that and most teams don't. The defense, and not just the bottom half, has been not great. Team defense is not great.

It's very easy to look at the goalie and say "he's the issue, get rid of him and bring in goalie x and we'll be better" but then you get goalie x and surprise, he's not all that better. Teams like Boston go and get Linus Ullmark and play defense in front of him and all of a sudden he's a Vezina candidate.

If there's a chance to upgrade in goal they should absolutely do it. But I'm not going to rip the goalies especially in games where the entire team sucks, a la Toronto, Carolina.

- Zschalberg


I believe your post is 100% correct if you have an average NHL goalie or better.

UPL and Comrie save % are terrible. Most NHL teams backups put up better stats than our goalies.

Both goalies are bad. Really bad. UPL consistently gives up some very soft goals that are 100% on him and not on the team in front of him.

It happens every single game for upl. The 2nd goal yesterday was horrible rebound control. The 1st goal was also soft because watch the replay. He sucked at getting over in time to gave it.

Yep, sure are. Funny how I don't answer any of your post for the most part. I might make fun of Girgensons a bit. But You always seem to have something right away on one or any of my Posts!! If you don't like what I have to say, skip my Posts. Really have No problem not talking to you Boss.

Why cant I respond to a foolish post? Regardless of the poster?

I'm here to enjoy an intellectual conversation. Would it hurt to keep up with some of the other posters?

Also, it's been give or take with us. Mostly you giving and me taking. Tough for some people to have the tables flipped. Good fun, then somebody gets upset. (You)

I came in here today, without purposely trying to troll anyone. Give me a break

Isnt this kinda similar to the eichel trade.

One day one team is in on the trade, next day another team is in the lead.

I imagine this trade is way more difficult, probably have half the teams wanting chickrun.

The longer they wait, the more injuries pile up, the more the price goes up.

There holding a very valuable commodity.

They'll get a huge return.

I trust what KA does this deadline, but please god trade for at least one player so we all dont have to read the complaining after Friday while playing good and fighting to make the playoffs.

Just won 3 huge games. It being reported KA still talking to arizona. Top 5GM i is doing his job.

I have my doubts. His cap hit declines every day. If their internal deadline is TDL, the league played the Yotes' bluff perfectly.

I can assure you that they won't get a "huge" return if he goes to the Sabres.

I have confidence he makes a hockey move (or two)

Putting my flag on Nick Jensen if they think they can re-sign him or Ekholm.

And UPL is essentially a rookie. A rookie on a team with bad team defense that does not insulate him. That is not to say there are no flaws in his game, but bringing in a guy like Talbot is going to do minimal imo. A guy like Saros is going to cost an arm and a leg but that would move the needle. So it's either stand pat with what you have or give up a ton. I know what I expect from KA.

Why jumping back in on Chychrun is a bad post because they screwed up sitting him ? Back and Forth really!! Boss you basically attack every post I make. You say foolish post, why cause You think that. Pretty sure alot of people here would say that about You. Conversation, your conversation is going right after Me, Lunaion, lon, homie, 24, and a few others about Posts they make that might not agree about VIBES!! Should look in the Mirror about Flipping Tables.

He's well worth the cost. With the game the Sabres like to play, they need a guy who can make a few more great saves. If you can find a place for Comrie, even better.

WHO CARES................Waive him or trade him for a couple used pucks and some tape.
