2018 NHL Thread: Cappy is happy while the rest of us pray to the ping pong gods for Tuesday night (1 Viewer)

I guess I'm just worried that Holmgren is looking for somebody he knows and somebody who will try to make playoffs this year. Homer is already busy shipping out Hextall guys. (Asst GM and assistant coach)

A couple of the other GM names are up and coming guys. I'd rather they swung for the fences and try to take long range approach.

For both game there will be a huge number of opposing fans.  Buffalo fans are the worst, but Pens and Bruins are up there and I am from the Pittsburgh area, most my family is still there.  

Sitting on the glass or close is cool but it does obstruct your view of the entire ice.  

I will definitely meet up with you guys.  Either just to give you all the Canes stuff and maybe take you to dinner before the game and possibly go to the game too.  

The Pit has great Carolina BBQ and is near the Marriott.  I ton of other options too.  X you game?

How big is your ride?  There is a lot of stuff.   I can bring it all or just have you pick through it at my house when you are here.  There is much stuff that wouldn't ship well so glad we can avoid that.  

Anyway I will do my best to help you guys and ensure you have a great time and things go smooth.  If I go to the game, I will pick you guys up and drive you.

OK, my son finally got his schedule and he was able to get the time off so we are set.

Need to get the tickets for 12/23 and a hotel for 12/22.  I know you guys recommended the Marriott downtown.

I will need to drive to the arena and park nearby on 12/23 as we have to drive back to DC that night after the game.

@IC FBGCav, I'll contact you as the time gets closer.  Can't wait, my son is going to have a blast.

@Chemical X, thanks for the tickets for 12/22, let me know when you get them.

 
@Aaron Rudnicki

On the Canes board, the majority didn't want Skinner to go.  Now the haters are saying no way you guys can sign him.  I don't get in those discussions.  But if I know Buffalo, I think he get a contract there.

 
Who had November 30th in the Tom Wilson pool?

@SWhyno: Brett Seney is down after hit from behind from Tom Wilson. Wilson given a match penalty for illegal check to head.

 
unreal.  guy has 13 points and 7 goals in the 8.5 games he’s played and he just can’t help himself.  this one wasn’t even boarderline either.  totally unnecessary head shot from the back well after the puck was gone.  about as blatant as it gets.  better hope he gets another good arbitrator.

 
NHLN has the Caps feed and they're arguing head wasn't principal point of contact.

And this is where I'm at

@SWhyno: Even if Wilson did not hit Seney in head - it's questionable - there was no reason to make that hit. Wilson saw Seney's numbers the entire time and it was late.

add on to that he knows he’s a marked man.  it’s so pointless to make that play.  he can’t control it.

anyone that argues for this clown is ####### clueless.

 
Stupid, unnecessary and cheap hit. Also not contact to the head. Ejection was a reputation call, which Wilson has earned. Don’t think it’s a suspension though - hard to make that case without a shot to the head 

Caps are 8-1 since his return. He’s far too valuable a player at this point to be putting his team at risk with suspensions

It was a match penalty so 1 game suspension unless league overturns it. You think the league is going to do that for a guy who an arbitrator reduced the length of a previous suspension?

A match penalty technically results in an indefinite suspension "until the Commissioner has ruled on the issue."

It can be 0 games, 1 game, or whatever the league decides. It’s also supposed to be for a deliberate attempt to injure. Seney didn’t miss a shift. Hard to believe that would have been the case if Wilson had deliberately attempted to injure him there. Again, absent head contact, I think it’s hard to suspend a guy. But if anyone deserves it, it’s Wilson 

 
LOL at the Av’s broadcast. Scoffing into a commercial break because Rantanen was down hurt and just assumed Pietrangelo had thrown a cheap shot. Turned out it was a penalty on Rantanen. 

Then Johnson throws a late hit headshot on Steen and instead it was Steens fault for taking a shot and being lower to the ice. 

Its too bad the Blues are going to blow this game.

I think they’ll probably sign him but it’s going to be expensive. Maybe $8.5MM/year or so is my guess.

He wants more.

With the year he’s having, he can ask for more but he won’t get $10MM in Buffalo most likely since that’s where Eichel is. 

It’s more a question of term than anything to me.

To be clear, the hit occurred at 17:39 of the second and Seney returned at start of third. He might not have missed a shift but there was 15 - 20 minutes time between shifts and i don't know if he was in the quiet room.

 
I’m torn on the Wilson hit but agree that (a) late hit, (b) super dumb by him, (c) reputation is why he was kicked out of the game. No clue how the league will punish him for it.

feels high.  $7MM seems more reasonable.  plus he’s bound to cool off somewhat.  they’ll get him signed and it should be a decent signing.  like you said, the rub will be term

Before the year started, most would have been happy with 7x7 but he’s got 20 goals in 27 games. Going to be at least 8 and maybe 9 at this point unless he goes ice cold and finishes with 30 or something.

considering he’s a volume shooter 2.3x above his career percentage its bound to even some.  and if it doesn’t correct much it’s not like he has the leverage for the Eichel-effect he’s getting. I think they should be able to get it done below 8 if people are rational

I haven’t looked at too many comps but I think that Draisaitl deal makes things tougher unless Yzerman is doing the deal in a no-tax state.

I’m not looking at comps either just shooting from the hip, but that Draisaitl deal does seem to been an issue for lots of GMs so maybe you’re right.  classic Chiarelli wrecking everything he touches
