I don't think we'll need to do much if that unlikely scenario happens.

This place will self destruct.

I honestly don't see how Pat.


If anything, most fans would agree the guy should start the playoffs in the stands.

I mean, he's got the experience you want and could be a good calming presence for some of the younger kids... Plus, he's not the worst player for a 4th line guy..

His game stayed in Minnesota

He's probably the worst forward on the team since he joined.

You can only read “Doughty’s da best” so many times.

I do miss him.

- PatC80

I have a lot of respect for the player even though he was part of a dirty dirty dirty bunch of jerks in Carolina when they took out Koivu's eye but he does not seem to have much left in the tank.

Remember a few days (weeks?) ago how I mentioned that every move Bergevin did last summer turned out great?

Well every deadline move he made turned out bad.

Staal, Gustafsson and Merrill are all looking horrible.

I noticed that yesterday. I was running a query that was taking way too long, and just grabbed some stats from the bigger trades of the deadline because I was curious (I noticed on Sportsnet that someone wrote an article today . . .they're spying on me):

BAD

Montreal acquires Staal (20GP, 2G, 1A, -10) for a 3rd & 5th


Islanders acquire Palmieri (16GP, 2G, 2A, -2) & Zajac (13GP, 1G, 1A, -1) for 1st, 4th, and 2 AHL players

Avs acquire Dubnyk (3-2, .886, 3.26GAA) for Greg Pateryn and a 5th

Tampa acquires David Savard (13GP, 0-0, -8) for a 1st and a 3rd

Canadiens acquire Jon Merrill (11GP 0-0, -9) for a 5th and Hayden Verbeek

Leafs acquire Rittich (3GS, 1-1-1, .888, 2.72GAA) for a 3rd

Vegas acquires Janmark (13GP, 1-3, +3) for a 2nd & 3rd

Washington acquires Mantha (13GP, 4-4, +0) for Vrana (11GP, 8-3, +1), Panik (12GP, 1-3, +0), 1st & 2nd

OK

Leafs acquire Foligno (5GP, 0-4, +5) for a 1st & 4th

GOOD

Bruins acquire Reilly (14GP, 0-7. +7) for a 3rd

Bruins acquire Hall (15GP, 6-6, +14) and Lazar (15GP, 1-2, -2) from Buffalo for Bjork & 2nd

Pens acquire Carter (14GP, 9-2, +9) for a 3rd & 4th (both conditional, could become 2nd & 3rd)

Florida acquires Bennett (10GP, 6-9, +12) for a 2nd

That's the thing though.

He's probably the worst forward on the team since he joined.
- Scabeh

Merrill is -12 in his last ten games, and Staal is -10 as a Hab,

I guess every one of these could change depending on how it turns out it the playoffs.

What?

Hyman - Matthews - Marner
Foligno - Tavares - Mikheyev
Galchenyuk - Nylander - Thornton
Engvall - Nash - Spezza

Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Holl
Sandin - Liljegren

Would be my preferred starting lineup

Nylander would score a 100 goals in playoffs
- MaximusAurelius

You know who won't be scoring 100 goals this playoff? Roope Hintz of the Dallas-they-will-absolutely-make-the-playoffs Stars.

Why is Foligno graded "OK"? Pretty much a point per game player since joining the team and team is 4W 1OTL with him in the lineup. That OTL loss? He played only 9 mins before getting injured.

Unless the injury is the reason why the trade has been downgraded?

Edit: I'd also grade the Mantha trade as okay. Caps didn't get worse and they landed a guy with term. You could argue they could have re-signed Vrana for less, but I dunno...

Not terrible but maybe a wash for Wash?

Btw have you guys heard from fakepartofme?
- MaximusAurelius

Not looking great. Hopefully it's just a concussion and he can't deal with screens.

I guess every one of these could change depending on how it turns out it the playoffs.
- Scabeh

Exactly. Look I don't like Thornton and I don't like Simmonds. If they show up when it counts in the playoffs, then it's shut-your-stupid-piehole-Monkeypunk time. That's my wife's favourite time, for what it's worth.

I think Staal is washed up, but maybe he has it in him for another playoff run. I guess we'll see.

He's OK because the 5 games isn't enough. I liked what I saw, as I'm sure we all did, but it's a really small sample size because of the quarantine and the injury, so at this point it looks like a successful trade, but they did give up a 1st and a 4th, which is a hefty price. Just trying to be objective.

Foligno had 4 assists playing with 2 players in the top 10 in scoring in the NHL. And he just played 5 games.

He cost a first round pick.

Until we see what he brings to the table in the playoffs, "OK" sounds about right to me.
