Hongbit Posted January 2 Posted January 2 The Rangers are having an abysmal season and two of their leaders have made this team. I don’t understand Miller and Trocheck. Honestly I don’t mind Brock Nelson as much but I really hope that his family history didn’t play a role but I think it probably did. USA hockey always loves a good story. Robertson, Caufield, and DeBrincat are all needed pieces on this team. I am also confused on Noah Hanifin over Fox or Hutson. Quote
Hongbit Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Umm. Are they seriously not taking Edvinsson? That’s the biggest snub I’ve seen on any roster. Quote
lordstanley Posted January 2 Author Posted January 2 But they do take OEL. Talk about a career with twists and turns. Quote

slothfacekilla Posted January 2 Posted January 2 No way Hutson should be anywhere near the USA roster. JT Miller, Trochek and Nelson are certainly choices over Robertson and Caufield.... 1 Quote

Tkachuk's "I'm suddenly looking away from you and not engaging" act was honestly super bizarre, I feel like he was baiting the punch then got super mad when Stanley obliged 😂 Edited January 5 by slothfacekilla Quote

They'll be fortunate to end this season "middle of the pack". Because so far, they're 8th out of 8 in the Atlantic, 15th out of 16 in the Eastern Conference, and 23rd out of 32 overall.

buddha Posted Saturday at 05:05 AM Posted Saturday at 05:05 AM vegas puts up 6 on toronto. marner with a quiet night, not on the scoresheet. it was a big game for toronto so leafs fans should have expected that. 1 Quote
lordstanley Posted Saturday at 09:18 PM Author Posted Saturday at 09:18 PM With today's 5-0 shutout win over NYI, the Sabres are now tied with Montreal in points for 3rd in the Atlantic, actually ahead of them in standings on the tiebreaker. https://www.nhl.com/standings/2026-01-24/division Quote
lordstanley Posted Saturday at 09:50 PM Author Posted Saturday at 09:50 PM By points percentage ranking, Atlantic division teams are #2 (Tampa), #5 (Detroit), #8 (Buffalo), #9 (Montreal), #11 (Boston), #14 (Florida) and #16 (Toronto). So 4 of the top 10, 5 of the top 11, and 7 of the NHL top half. Quote
buddha Posted Saturday at 10:29 PM Posted Saturday at 10:29 PM I'm more worried about buffalo than montreal. Quote
buddha Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago rumor for what it would cost for elias petersson for montreal: kapanen, a first rounder, and reinbacher. i dont know if montreal gives that up. theyre more desperate for a second line center than detroit is. if i'm detroit, i dont match that. no way for petersson, not even with a 25% cap retention. the more i listen, the more it seems like any depth defenseman is going to cost a first. including justin faulk. its not yzerman's MO to trade high picks for marginal additions, but maybe this year they do it considering the playoffs are in sight.

gehringer_2 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago (edited) 5 minutes ago, buddha said: 1) dont count your chickens 2) they definitely need another defenseman. cant go into big games with asp on the second pair and hamonic on the ice. probably true, but I still think if Yzerman was going to deal he would have been able to make a better one if he had already pulled the trigger. Costs will only go up toward the deadline. Of course, the thing with Yzerman is that the current absolute silence might be the indication is he working something.....😉 The only other thing that bears - IMO, is that at least early in his tenure, Yzerman would always talk about wanting to build a team that can win a cup, not just get to the playoff. If he still believes that, I don't see him giving much of anything up to make this team marginally better when it still is too far away from actually being able to win a cup. Of course the flip side is that the pressure to at least make the playoffs only grows each season they miss. Edited 2 hours ago by gehringer_2 Quote

Of course the flip side is that the pressure to at least make the playoffs only grows each season they miss. i think he'd give up non-first round picks and potentially some depth prospects for a guy like faulk. but i also think other teams will beat that offer and start throwing first round picks out there. yzerman is probably the most secure gm in the league. the owner isnt going to fire him and if he wanted to leave, he's got plenty of cash. he's got little pressure to do something stupid like giving up first rounders. (i say that and watch him deal a first for some depth defenseman...) Quote
