NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

#1C by toi?
#1C by line?
#1C by 'best player'?

All potentially accurate and defendable positions

[CAM]

Lol Paul, no wonder you get some guidance. Hes 0.64 ppg for last 5 years in an extremely defensive system. If you have ever watched him play, i dont know how you can not say he is a 1c. He is the Bruins 1c.

2C

[The BBKL Insider]

I wouldnt argue with paul. He'll make u look retarded when he pulls out his analytics

[LeanMachine]

The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired forward Jeremy Morin from the Chicago Blackhawks for defenseman Tim Erixon.

[Shoalzie]

Not a surprised but Crosby does have mumps.

[Bruyns]

Eakins finally canned and I feel bad for what he was given for his first NHL coaching gig.

[The BBKL Insider]

Eakins has almost ruined Yak

never liked eakins and all my buddies hate him

[Fraser]

In before Walrus to Edmonton

[Handsome&FairMike]

Dude had too many finess 1 way forwards, shit defencemen and terrible goaltending. Unless you're ted nolan or jaques lemaire you're not gonna get far with that...

[Mike]

At least he gets to leave Edmonton, in December. I'd call that a win.

[kimmer]

There shudnt be more than one post regarding this guy getting fired. Guy was A poser nhl coach. It's not even interesting or worth joking around about let alone analyze on why...

[Shep]

He interviewed for the associate coach job and it went so well they just fired Kruger and gave Eakins the job. MacTavish is a tool and now he's back behind the bench? He's been involved with this team for what, 10 years now? They've been shit the whole time. Get him out of there.

[kimmer]

Peoria got him the job to begin with. He begged to ridicule that city in a commercial with permission so that he can get nhl job

[Matthew]

MacT definitely should have been the first to get let go. Maybe Eakins too, but definitely MacT.

[Handsome&FairMike]

The one guy who always seems to escape this but has been pulling the strings from day 1 is kevin fucking lowe - most overrated hockey personnel individual in the game. No idea how this guy still has a job. And he was called out on it then through a hissy fit.

[thom54]

I despise Kevin FUCKING Lowe

[Matthew]

So we are all agreed. Edmonton should just toss their entire management team and start from scratch. I don't think any new management team could do worse. It's almost not possible.

[CAM]

Gut the entire management. Give new guys keys to the farm and say have at er. Nothing can be worse that where we are now.
