The Wild are thinking they can develop Jiricek (6'4" and called a little gangly still but growing at 20) into a top 4 RD not on Faber's line for when Spurgeon's contract is up (2026-27). Jiricek has a ton of talent offensively (just a bomb shot and great vision) but is pretty raw overall and lacks skating ability. He can get up and down the ice but will not wow you with speed. He and his agent basically wore out their welcome with Columbus as they claimed he was a top-4 D now. He's not. So the Wild get a super talented offensive D project that doesn't have it today.Talk to me about this Jiricek trade the Wild made.
that was crazy. feel sorry for sabre fans.Thank God for the Bills because after tonight I've given up hope that the Sabres can be fixed.
The entire Biz/Rat interaction on TNT last night was fun. That crew is enjoyable to watch.![]()

Trouba to Ducks for Vaakananen and 4th
11.5MM Average Annual.igor signed 8/92
Trouba was really not the problem with the Rangers of late, but he was definitely not playing up to what he is getting paid. I'm probably one of the few Rangers fans that didn't really want to see him go, but I understand why they did it.
Lindgren really is not deserving of a roster spot. If you want to keep him as a #6 defender fine, but he's not good.
Been a lot of chatter about the Rangers moving Kreider as well. He probably has quite a bit of trade value, but 40 goal scorers don't grow on trees and at 6.5M/year that's a very reasonable contract.
Mika can be awesome at times, but sometimes his confidence is just crap.
With Chytil and Kreider in the lineup, Rangers were an elite offensive team. They just don't have center depth and another sniper at the ready.
And Kakko is probably not going to be a Ranger next year either, but this guy has legit star potential, he's a great two way player, very underrated.
he has a ltd no trade that was converted from a full no move this summer and his wife is doctor on residency in NY. his no move coincided with his wife’s residency……until covid came and pushed her back a year. so his no move expired and the nyr wanted to deal him this summer, but his wife has a year left in residency. it seems that he kind of asked not to be moved while she was still tied to ny and the nyr seemed to be in a bind, not wanting to uproot his family, especially since there is also a new born involved. but the nyr finally couldn’t deal with his suck level at 8mm per. it was a crap deal from the beginning and it only got worse. reading between the lines here, he is the captain and kind of held a grudge about the summer goings on and his level of commitment waned.Trouba was really not the problem with the Rangers of late, but he was definitely not playing up to what he is getting paid.

Can you explain what happened with his family or something over the off-season that led to the bad blood?

Tom Wilson takes a puck to the face, returns to the game looking like he was hiding a bocce ball in his cheek, and scores two goals in the third to lead the comeback against the Habs. Best part was the boys in the room calling him Quagmire while Carbery was addressing them after the game.
I think Team Canada is going to regret not naming him to the team for the 4 Nations tourney.

At least you've got your goalie locked up on the cheap. And you have to admit they're trying something new. Usually, it's "you can't fire the whole team" so they get rid of the coach. It's a fresh approach.Rangers are a disaster right now. I understand the Trouba move even though not a fan of it but it’s done. Absolutely do not understand the Kakko move. That guy is a tremendous two way player on a cheap contract. He had more points 5v5 then jack hughes. 23 years old wtf move him for nothing? Rangers have been **** the past 15 games and kakko was not the issue.
That blue line is terrible. Miller is hurt. Lindgren I terrible. The offense without panarin is pathetic. I love Mika and Kreider but they are not good enough and getting older. Last year was the year. This year is making me sad.
it’s all on the players. drury is doing what he needs to do and it seems in a business world, all these guys are now butt sore. them quitting is absolutely pathetic. i heard the rangers have a kakko tribute video ready to go when he returns….it runsRangers are a disaster right now.

Not that I totally disagree, but again, the Kakko trade makes no sense. You essentially give him away for nothing mid-season. You could have gotten the same 3rd round pick if he was offer sheeted in the off-season.it’s all on the players. drury is doing what he needs to do and it seems in a business world, all these guys are now butt sore. them quitting is absolutely pathetic. i heard the rangers have a kakko tribute video ready to go when he returns….it runsRangers are a disaster right now.

Sucks donkey dicks.Doesn't matter how big Rempe is. He needs to be in control of his body and not hit guys in the head. There's no agenda against him. He's just a moron who wants to hurt people , and apparently isn't a fast learner.
Good. He's hot garbage.He now has an in person meet with nhl and likely will be suspended at least 5 games.
8 gamesSucks donkey dicks.Doesn't matter how big Rempe is. He needs to be in control of his body and not hit guys in the head. There's no agenda against him. He's just a moron who wants to hurt people , and apparently isn't a fast learner.

My bad…guess they needed today off as well. They are back tomorrow.Hockey is back tonight. If NFL and NBA can play on Christmas then why not the NHL?
Dec 26th = first day of the World Juniors tournament.My bad…guess they needed today off as well. They are back tomorrow.Hockey is back tonight. If NFL and NBA can play on Christmas then why not the NHL?
Or this.Dec 26th =first day of the World Juniors tournament.Boxing Day, which is celebrated in Canada
Now 4 goals in 5 games since he has been back. Amazing.After four games back from a leg fracture, Ovechkin has added three more goals. 23 to tie and 24 to pass Gretzky with 44 games remaining.
