Carolina is 1 point behind the Penguins for 8th in the East right now, both teams are at 55 games. Buffalo is 2 points behind with a game in hand. And Pittsburgh is 3-7-1 in their last 11 games.

After getting spanked by Philly, Anaheim has relieved Randy Carlyle of his coaching duties.

I checked out Anaheim on cap-friendly. With all due respect to Burkie, THAT is cap hell.

This is a lame duck confit.

 

[WAYNEINIONA]

He lasted a week longer than I expected.

So Dylan Strome has been point a game player since joining the Hawks. Perhaps the problem wasn't Strome but Arizona?

Might be. They have a pretty spotty record when it comes to developing young players in recent years. A couple bright spots/guys who have looked promising and may still have room to grow, but a lot of misses with some guys who seemed like potentially higher end pieces.

Max Domi has turned into a nice little player too with the Habs.

God I hate the Coyotes franchise with a passion.

Evgeni Malkin might be in some trouble...

I certainly hope so... can't have a hissy fit like that go unpunished. 'I know it's dirty, but I missed'

Welp, there go my Fantasy Pool chances...

That is surprisingly candid and specific.

i.e. what is the real story here?

Nah, I'm sure it's just that simple.

I always wonder if Dubas looked into acquiring Strome.
Same situation as Puljuj?rvi in Edmonton.
Change of scenery might do him good.
High drafts players with tons of talent but they going to be boom or bust?
Would liked to have seem Strome reunited with Marner.
Probably meant Kadri being shipped.
Strome + for Kadri what everyone think?

Where were Strome and Marner together in the past?

I think the world juniors and if memory serves, they weren't all that great together, meaning didn't dominate.

Have you ever watched Strome play?  I have watched him in AZ and his effort level was nothing. When you draft a big center with a top 5 pick I don't think you expect to need wingers to carry him. I don't think he will ever be as good as Kadri. Bad skating is hard to overcome in today's NHL.

He's doing just fine in Chicago, so, maybe the problem wasn't him, his effort level, or his skating. He's looking very much like a top 5 pick for the Hawks. Looking more and more like the problem was the Coyotes' development system, coaching staff, and/or the team itself.
