Catch all thread for discussing other NHL teams/news.

 

Up first:  Pittsburgh Penguins, my secondary team to cheer for.

 

I guess their worst start since Sid's rookie year could be because of their lousy defense.  Or bad coaching.  Or Kessel.

 

But in reality its because I took Fleury in my pool every year for 10 years until last year when I was fed up, he has his best year ever and then I took him this year and now he sucks. 

 

But really, whats the deal?  They might be the first to can their coach.

Well at least they should be well rested for the stretch drive with the all star break and then a mandatory 1 week off in February.

Nobody mention the Jets signing hutch to a 2 year 1 way deal?

Go back a page.

True enough. Just noticed. 

 

Interesting.  Pretty obvious that this is the beginning of the end for Pavelec in Winnipeg.  

No way jets risk losing hutch on waivers.  Not a chance. Wouldn't be surprised to see pavelec traded or bought out now. Perhaps Calgary and we take back a crappy contract like Wideman 

Lawless suggested the jets might waive Pavs to the moose to see if someone would snag him. 

I bet it's helle on the moose though if Pavs isn't traded

Just wait till Friday , then rookie camp ,regular camp, the season and god forbid the playoffs. The better the Leafs get the more unbearable it will get.

I already hate the Jays... they're absolutely unbearable thanks to Sportsnet. It's easy to hate the Leafs because of shows like this. May they have many more losing seasons befall them.

I'll bet pavelec is traded or waived. I think they are done with him. He serves no purpose and isn't very good. He's traded or waived to moose... refuses to report and is then suspended and sent home 

A lot of average goalies on the market...  maybe Chevy can retain $$ in a Pav trade

Maybe we can get a LHD making big money with 1 year left for pavelec 

My concern with Pavs is he has been known to sulk which doesn't bode well for waiving him to the moose to support Comrie.

I think the coaches can work around that.  Comrie gets most of the starts.  Pavelec is the backup in that case.

I know it would not be the ideal situation, but that would be a poor reason to keep Pavelec up with the Jets if that was the reason they were hesitant to send him down.

One could argue the Jets sent Helle down last season when he arguably deserved to stay up.  And one could argue they did it because he was the "easiest" to send down out of the three.  That is still the case this year barring a trade of Pavs.  It wouldnt surprise me if Helle starts with the Moose.

Least surprising Jets news IMO.

Pretty clear succession plan in the works for Helle and Comrie. Pavs as a backup this season or traded, and Hutch gets exposed on expansion draft.

Only real question is where Hutch plays if Pavs isn't dealt.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Helle goes down and is exposed as for the expansion draft.

Helle exposed?  Not a chance.

Hutch signed 2 years so he's gonna be exposed.  Helle will be protected. Comrie is exempt.  Pav is ufa so doesn't qualify

I like to argue with you.... but I would have absolutely nothing to counter this with.....   

It was the right decision to make since the club was clearly having a down year... hopefully they get at least a decent draft pick out of losing Pavs.

I'd take a 6th rounder if it means "losing" Pavs. He has no value. Overpaid and not good 

I'd be calling the Flames and trying to interfere with their pursuit of Bishop and see what it would take to have them take Pavs off our hands.  Jets will have to retain salary for sure.  Or maybe Carolina or Arizona depending on their situations.  Arizona has nearly $20m to spend just to get to the salary floor.  Since Pavs is UFA after this coming season, it might just as well be the Jets say f it and keep him.

My prediction is Helle starts with the Moose with Pavs and Hutch on the Jets.  If Pavs really struggles and Hutch is the usual Hutch (decent but not great) then the Jets have an issue because its not just calling up Helle, it's dealing with the politics of Pavs and what to do with him.

oops meant Hutch.

Hutch will be sent down after TC and the first call up in case of injury and then he is exposed for the expansion draft where we will lose a forward.

Be lucky to get a 6th.....would probably have to give a 3rd rounder or so.

The Jets will not be able to move him and he will be here for one more year.

If a team needs a vet backup at the TD, we might be able to rid ourselves of him.
