Re: World Cup of Hockey
From: (Anonymous)Yes! Our PK was excellent this year and I especially loved those two and their propensity for breakaways on top of their defensive play. I don't get off work until after a lot of games start, so I listened to a lot of first periods on the way home this year, which is how I caught Otter when he was on the radio broadcast. I can't remember which games, though--it was some point, possibly after the ASG, when Kelly Chase was out of town. I do know I enjoyed him a lot more than Chase, haha. I think it was also around the same time they had him up in the booth with JK during the TV broadcast/when he was doing all the Zero to Sixties? I'll look around and see if I can get a better idea if you don't manage to find them.
I hope you're right, even if I dread them giving him a terrible contract. It does seem like term really was a sticking point with the previous offer, so hopefully they can work something out that won't be too painful a few years down the road.
His chip commercial and his dry sense of humor are sources of immense joy for me, haha. I agree that that's probably the source of a lot of the flak. He was also a bit up and down this season, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up having a much better season next year. I totally agree that they'll probably be shopping for a 1C this off-season, with Jori and Stas being 2C/3C next season. My guess is that they might try to go for one of the Edmonton guys using Shatty as a trading piece. If they don't try to trade up for Edmonton's first round pick, which I think is also a distinct possibility. I'd be kind of excited to see them transition Robby back to C at some point, but he's been so great on the wing, too. I need to work on the whole not letting myself get too attached to everyone thing, as it is a source of constant pain, haha.
Re: World Cup of Hockey
From: (Anonymous)I rewatched the commercial again! It's still so weird and endearing.
Shatty trade is pretty hard to prognosticate for me. Not sure what the value of 4OA is. Top 10 picks always seem so overpriced to me. I feel like Edmonton aren't going to let go of Draisaitl even if we manage to put together a fair value deal with Shatty as the centerpiece. McDavid is obviously out of the question. RNH is more acquirable, but I'm not sure he's what the Blues need in a #1C. Quite a few other potential trading partners too. I've seen speculation on all of Boston, New York, Buffalo, Detroit, and Panthers after the Gudbranson trade.
It's going to be an interesting off-season for trades for D. Not a lot of good UFAs out there. Demers might already be the best of them.
In a tangent actually related to the thread we're in, I was a bit sad Bergy didn't make the Swedish roster. He had a good playoffs, but I totally understand the reasoning behind everyone picked. Don't know if Bergy was even in consideration. He loves playing for Sweden though.
