mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Personally, I think there'll be a market for Duhaime, perhaps even a bidding war. Bidding wars are not fleecings, but they sure do bring in resources like a fleecing! So, over the past couple of days we've heard of TBL asking about Duhaime, and now Vancouver. I'd have to believe that a couple of other teams are interested, even if it were to block Duhaime from going somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Reading through the rumor mill, I saw a ranking of Blues trade options. Under the "any takers" subtitle was Marco Scandella. I haven't seen his game lately, but a large bodied defender like that could be rather useful in the playoffs. I also saw Joel Edmundson as a target off of Washington. Both players are large bodies who've had some injury problems. Both players could be good playoff defenders. What do you guys think, and has anyone watched their game recently?

mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Nashville is on a 5 game winning streak and is currently 4 points ahead of us. We have one game in hand. They play Ottawa tonight, and Ottawa's been winning. I think we need this one tonight! I'll be blacked out since I'm in Canes Country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little confused why you would be blacked out when you are in the region that the opposing team plays in. I'd think that would make it easier to watch, not harder.

If you use ESPN+ to watch, they stupidly black out the local market teams. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how good he is these days... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one Marco is enough for a team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same people who want Scandella back in his mid 30's want Dumba back mid 30's. #doesnotcompute 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think that would make it easier to watch, not harder. I use a VPN, live in MN. and ESPN will block me if my location is Chicago and closer. Another terrible decision by Bettman and the boys. He' being blocked because he's in Canes country ESPN assumes he's a Canes fan. If the Canes play the Wild in MN. he gets blocked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy the poor boy Verified Member Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Looks like Shaw's out again and Freddie is moving to a line with NoJo and the Liz. The Deweys are with Hartman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imyourhuckleberry Verified Member Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Big week for the Wild if they plan to contend for playoffs. Home against Carolina Tuesday. Carolina favored tonight. at Nashville Thursday, so I'd assume Nashville favored in that one. at St. Louis Saturday, so I'd assume Blue favored there. Home against San Jose, back to back, on Sunday. Wild probably favored there. They'll face Nashville and St. Louis again the week leading up to St. Patrick's Day, but it would really help their playoff hopes if they can grab those roadies this week, and not squander the home game against the Sharks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 7th or future considerations is a price in that category. Let me put it a little differently, it is probably a little less than a price for Goligoski or Merrill. Likely that's due to his contract.

Same people who want Scandella back in his mid 30's want Dumba back mid 30's. I was thinking from a size standpoint. He always had a big shot. I never thought his speed was bad, but, he has had some injuries so he may be slower. I wasn't thinking of resigning him either, just a pure rental. He's got to be faster than Goligoski and Merrill.

My son in Alpharetta used to get blocked as it was deemed Canes territory, but that changed this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With last night's loss, I'm thinking we have back 2 back must win games coming up this week. Nashville being most important. I just searched the Preds schedule. It looks like they have a tough stretch in the last part of March, first part of April. I still maintain, though, that we need to beat them in the head 2 heads if we're getting there, and I think we have a better roster to do it. Who gets the net?

Who gets the net? I suspect the Wild will go with Fleury in the game tomorrow night, but not certain. With Josi, McDonagh, and Juuse Saros, I'd give the Predators the edge in defense and goaltending, and give the Wild the edge in forwards. Really wish the Wild had the money to keep Nyquist(49 points in 60 games) rather than Johansson(27 in 59) when looking at these games. O'Reilly has been a major pain for the Wild in the past. Hopefully our guys bring their best game to Nashville! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we send them Freddie, NoJo, Merrill and Gologosky for Marco?? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
