Oh man that PP looks deadly with Stastny

They are stylistically two completely different players. Morrow made it to the NHL based on his offensive abilities and was even getting power play time in Montreal. He's similar size to Morrissey and not overly physical. Chiarot is purely a stay-at-home, big, physical defenceman. They're really not the same at all. Morrow has bumped Poolman down the depth chart, IMO... if we were down to our 8th defenceman, you'd see Morrow in the lineup rather than Poolman.

If Chicago wants to go in the toilet ala Detroit, then yeah it probably would be a good move.

Kulikov-Buff Chiarot-Morrow versus Enstrom-Buff Chiarot-Kulikov Yeah I'll take option 2 all day.

It's not that bad... if you're beaten so badly that you don't think you have a play on the ball, then you're probably not going to be able to interfere with the player, either. It would be very difficult to consciously make that decision on the fly. I believe some high school conferences in the US allow refs to assess an extra 15 yards if the interference appears intentional. Same thing with TDs... it does add a little extra complexity but generally if you are going to tackle a guy in the endzone rather than letting him catch the ball, you're still giving them the ball at the one with four (or three) cracks at the endzone. There aren't many situations where that is a smart play. It actually works out fine most of the time and you don't get bogus 40 yard PI's.

Henoc left after 2013 and O'Shea was hired in 2014. So no overlap.

Maybe. Although he is one of the best coaches of all time while Hartman is just some 23 year old kid.

Apparently Hartman and Quenneville didn't get along too well

This doesn't make any sense...

I don't know how anyone could not like this move. Stastny is such a huge upgrade and the price was very reasonable. We are already loaded with young prospects... we can afford to start moving some assets.

Jets get Joe Morrow for a 4th

Seems like a high price for Tatar.

TB is going to be tough to beat

Enstrom injured in practice

3/4 of the way through the season.... if the playoffs were to start today, these would be the matchups

missed this one. but I heard it's going to be brock vs roman at WM34, as was foretold by prophecy

I honestly don't think that's such a great return. They are without a doubt a worse team now and aside from the late first rounder and a decent prospect in Gustavsson they haven't done too much for their future. Gaborik with 3 more years on a 4M+ contract isn't a great asset either.

Sure with the benefit of hindsight it looks really bad but let's not pretend anybody saw William Karlsson breaking out like this. He was a fourth line player last year.

Frankly its the offseason and as long as Muamba is here for day 1 of training camp I don't care how long he takes to sign.

In space, all warriors are cold warriors

The song is called St Louis Blues and so is the team

I'd go right back to Helle!
