Might be late, but Stars defenseman Patrick Nemeth out for season after getting cut by RJ Umberger's skate Saturday night. That looked scary, but I didn't expect him to be out that long. Hopefully he can recover fully and it won't impact him over the long haul

Scary injury for sure. It's a big opportunity for Jamie Oleksiak. If he can't grab a job and run with it, the Stars already questionable blueline is in big trouble. I like Jyrki Jokipakka (whom they called up today) but they really need some size and physicality back there.

Too much Carle talk. Let's talk about Lenny.

Dykstra?

What's the word on Dupuis? I saw him go off on a stretcher last week. Looked scary. How long is he out?

May be my favorite new name.

...in Buffalo. They've been a train wreck for a few seasons. Hard to improve in Love Canal.

So it's a total crapshoot of how he'd be here. Like Bogo, lots of "potential" with little to no return yet.

We may have a solution for them...

awful break on freak play

fun to say, for sure.

Then they must be interested in trading for Grossmann. He has size and physicality, and they're familiar with how good he is.

somehow, he seems pretty fine.

caught a major break there.

Wow. I thought he was in bad shape. That's good. I never want to see any player injured.

Can we send Grossmann back?

We'll even throw in the extra N.

Back at practice the next day

still need to wrangle another winger somehow

DENTAL PLAN.

- PLindbergh31

Lenny Leonard?

- jmatchett383

Yep. Bogo is more injury prone than Grossmann though.

Shiny, fancy, delicious RJ Umberger for dirty, old, disgusting Evgeni Malkin

Point is, you're trading a promising young player and picks/prospects for a guy who had his game plummet year after year (and I'm not just talking stats, I'm talking his on-ice play overall).

for shame! i expect at least a little more thought/wit if we are going to be nonsensical.

Fine
RJ Umberger and a stickered-encusted flat-brimmed hat from the hit TV show Perfect Strangers for Malkin.

Jim Jackson/Steve Coates, for Steigy and Errey. I wonder who gets the short end of the stick in such a deal.

I totally read that in stanleys voice.

hmm. Coates is literally painful.

Jackson I actually enjoy as an announcer, except for his ridiculous homerism.

Steigy and Errey, they also suffer from blatant homerism, and also from the fact that they just arent very good.

So, tough call.
