Anyone besides me think TDA might be trade bait?

He's playing once a week (maybe) and last night he had a grand total of 3:53 TOI and I didn't see him at all after the first Caps goal. Harbs pointed out his unwillingness to get into a board battle, and almost immediately resulted in the opening goal by Dowd. Again, Harbs saw it live and I watched the re-air of the game this morning and saw just how lazy he got and didn't even make an honest effort to clear the puck. I'm sure RBA parked his butt after that.

It’s tough to say, cause late season if we get a defenseman banged up, it’s nice to know we have a replacement guy already. But I think more and more you are right and they are trying to trade him(though the fact nobody wanted him off waivers), might make me wonder how much we’d actually get for him even at his current contract level.

Yeah, there is pretty much no point in trading him because nobody wants him. I agree - might as well keep him in case one of our defensemen get injured

Rags lost in a shootout as well, so no gained ground there.

We are still only 5 behind though, rags get Vancouver in town tomorrow so do the isles the next day. So we will be only 1GP ahead of most teams after this little break(two GP ahead of Washington still). Hopefully Vancouver can do us a solid vs. both NY teams.

Aho, Burns, Slavin and Necas all MIA from practice. Maybe maintenance day or some kind promo/commercial shoot day for the first three.  Fasty is on the ice but in a no contact. 
 

Wouldn’t be surprised if we aren’t doing some rolling maintenance days.

I suggest we keep him as a backup. I am not in favor of giving him away for nothing.

Dunno if they were split into teams or if all these were on Pyotr. But that’s pretty oof. 

Suffice to say this team has no business getting into shootouts. If they get possession of the OT faceoff, there's no reason a Canes 3 on 3 shouldn't be able to win it in short order. 

Maybe instead of shootout attempts they should be working on winning faceoffs, which has taken a major step back this season.

Faceoffs have been getting a lot better, saw a stat yesterday Staal is 71% in the faceoff circle in OT. I don’t know why we have sucked 3v3. I think probably we just try and get too fancy rather than cycling properly.

Everyone but Necas

Who skated solo before practice, I like these line combos. I think Noesen on 2 might just be what the doctor orders to get KK right. 

I'd love to know how that second line looked in practice. That may be the most sandpaper RBA has ever put on the ice. None of those 3 are afraid to mix it up.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
