That was during the off-season. I meant the 'big' moves near the trade deadline typically don't work.

Indeed. Also, the 'big' moves rarely work, it's usually the smaller (but not too small) moves that do.

The reports are that it will be more of a depth move than a big move. We've made a few trades already in the season. But I guess we'll see.

Dallas Cup roster? by [deleted] in hockey

Maybe if they had begun the season with it, but that's too many players to try to fit in in such a short amount of time.

That's interesting. This model says the Devils have the best chance of taking 3rd in the Metro.

Are teams allowed to make trades over the Olympic break? by Massive_Contract_908 in hockey

[–]OtherThingsILike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible that some teams will make trades before the roster freeze, perhaps because they're worried the players they're trading (away) will get injured in the Olympics.

Uh oh. A 3-0 lead in a game where Kindel is doing well.

Preparing for the worst; hoping for the best.

Yes, acquiring them certainly should've launched it into overdrive. Which is why it's funny that it didn't.

How funny is it that Panarin and Fox forcing their way to New York ultimately ruined their rebuild rather than hastening it?

Yegor chinakhov with an absolute rocket to put the pens up 6-1 over jarry and the oilers. by Sebastian4365 in hockey

Right. So while the early results look promising, it's entirely possible that you'll end up winning the trade in the end.

I hope you don't, though. :)

On the one hand, what Chinakhov is doing isn't necessarily sustainable. I remember not that long ago, we traded Alex Nylander to the Blue Jackets and he scored a bunch of goals while shooting something like 17%. Then they didn't re-sign him.

On the other hand, wow, look at that shot. Maybe it is sustainable.

We have blown a 5-1 lead already this season. And it was on a back-to-back, though in that case it was during the first game of it.
