There was an article on EPSN (?) that mentioned the Lidstrom never won it. It suggested reassigning the Hart to be "Awarded to the best center (and sometimes goalie) in the NHL".
Right?
And they always make a big deal when a player picks up ALL THREE of The Hart, Art Ross, and Lindsay. It's impressive, but might as well combine the Art Ross and Hart as it seemingly always goes to the same player. Hart generally = most points.

It's pronounced Brah.

but you can't possibly like that hat, it has silver piping on the logo.
/sarcasm
Haha. I'll get a royal blue one sans grey when they eventually switch.
Maybe I'll try to take a blue or yellow Mr. Sketch marker and colour the grey on this one :lol:
-
They always play in Winnipeg on a back to back. Damn you, Winnipeg.
-
What if they are the ones playing spoiler against us?!
This GIF needs to be used more.

Here it is homies:

Our first Leafs game is...March 5th? WTF?
There are 15 back-to-backs.
Makes no sense. All the Leafs games condensed into 4 weeks.
It will break my heart if we are doing nothing but attempting to play "spoiler" for them again, at this point.

I don't get it
He said there's people advocating for trading ROR, when that hasn't really been the case, so I tried to make a joke wherein your adjusted post (my edits) was what he might see when reading it. #JokefailbyThorny
-
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that Chiarelli is kinda bad at his job, but it won't matter because McDavid is good enough to compensate.
Glaringly evident.
-
With Antipov, Beaulieu and Liljegren we are going to give Rob Ray an aneurysm next year trying to pronounce our defense. :w00t:
The love child of Nik Antropov and Vik Antipin?
-
Use the word "people", I one person advocating for ROR to be traded.
In the summer, in a "post your defensemen trade proposals here" thread.
Adjusted post for what will actually be inferred.
-
ROR is a team Canada, Selke-level centre. I think we probably should.....NOT trade him.
-
I kinda like that hat. Not as much as my current Sabres cap, so I'm not buying one, but I like it.
I too prefer my current hat, flat-brim.
-
Lol
My point being wingers aren't as valuable as defenders but centers are. Johansson for Jones comes to mind.
And that's my point. Defenders right now seem to equal Centers. We can't group all forwards together.
Which makes pigeonholing Reinhart as a wing even more baffling.
-
Johansen for Jones. I don't think we see more of these deals because there are rarely teams with excess centers and excess defensemen to trade.
Good one, forgot this deal.
-
What established center has been traded for an established defender?
O'Reilly for Zadorov? ;)
-
No worries
Per Corey Pronman the Devils maybe leaning towards picking Cale Makar First Overall
Serious question: After the draft concludes, which selected player has the highest value league wide?
It's gotta be Makar, right? Take him first overall, it's a good play.
-
Good wingers don't = good defenders.
Centers certainly equal defenders
But that's not really bearing itself out in the current market.
-
It's poor value for Edmonton, but such is life with Chiarelli as GM.
Also, they were never going to get Hamonic for Eberle. Good forwards don't have near as much value as good defencemen, currently. Being shown time and time again.
You want a good Dman? Draft him.
You want a good forward? Draft a Dman.
-
Smart teamA horrifying proposition
Not high on Tippett either? Or was that sarcasm haha.
I want a defender at 8, but if a guy like Glass falls, sign me up.
-
if you think about it he protected Lowry or Perreault, not Enstrom or Dano.
Or Copp.
It's not a horrible deal by any means, but I'd have preferred they stayed at 13 for a shot at Valimaki who I am high on.
-
Per Brendan Klak it's Eberle for Ryan Strome
Haha. Eberle is better.
-
Hall gone, Yakopov, Eberle...wow. That about clears out the stench of failure there, eh?It's like an annual rite of early summer: EDM trades a highly-pedigreed forward for a good d-man.
They probably keep Nuge, right?
Must be nice to win the lottery a million times...
-
I think Tippett is going to be our pick, for whatever reason. Just a guess from what I've read. I've advocated for not drafting him, so I'll have to come around on him, I suppose.
-
We are a better team today, because of expansion, than we would have been today, without. That's a solid win for me.

The more I think about it, the more this is BS. We seem to be right at the top for back-to-backs every year. Why??
For reference, my local team, the Jets, has 8 all season. We have 16. So realistically that's going to be several extra losses.
These things can be the difference between playoffs or no playoffs.
39% of Sabres games are in a back to back situation. Behind the 8-ball from the start.
