Did I hear that the Man Baby (11) is requesting a trade? 

But who'd pick up that contract? Given age especially.
I'd imagine we'd have to pay a fair % of his salary.
11 + 24 for a good C 

[Hockey-78]

Naturally limp wrister starting on the PP...

[lynxrattle]

Bjugstad and Suter in PP1. I'm not too impressed about the personnel choices...

[Hockey-78]

LOL. Anyone else love it when Lapanta says "Suter SHOOTS" with a high pitch, like the shot would've had much power in it.

Pay 90%.  Just get RID of him.  He is barely a call-up level AHL at this point.  His skating is sub-par, and he is knocked off he puck with ease.  His hands have slowed down to the point that he gets no shots off unless he is wide open.  What a BRUTAL contract at this point.  Suter is a believe average D to boot.  We have FOUR MORE YEARS to find a way to offload these two boat anchors

[Hockey-78]

How's that a penalty...

Yep.  He is a threat with the change-up (sarc), when there are 3 alternatives with very solid slappers.   Clearly, a call was made by Suter on the RED phone to CL.   SMH

[ClusterChuck]

Just switch the D for the PP1...Having Suter makes it easy to know we're going to aim for Kaprizov.
Brodin and even Dumba will keep things moving and hard to keep track of Kaprizov.

[lynxrattle]

Yotes' PP is not too good either. But better than ours, anyway.

How about; "Suter with a Blast..."  I know, it is a bi-annual statement, but it makes me turn to see this rare event

Rask!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Atta boy, Rask

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Holy Crap... A Rask sighting!

[lynxrattle]

Rask Zuccy Kaprizov again!

[ClusterChuck]

Nice job by all !!

[bbgarnett]

Cleaning up the garbage out front

[lynxrattle]

Crash the net, indeed. You can't get closer than that!

[EmptyShelf]

Rask has TWICE as many goals as the Man Baby.  I have to laugh.  Rask was in the stands a few times last year.  Now, Parise has taken a seat in the stands.  11; I see more opportunities to get a view of the game above in your future - some 'cornerstone of the franchise' he is

[EmptyShelf]

Of course, Nino has TWICE as many goals as Rask....No hiding from that abominable trade still

[lynxrattle]

Kaprizov with a point again. It feels so odd that we have a player who gets points every game

He would have 2-3 if everyone would keep their sticks on the ice.....

He should play more with Fiala. They might be able to start lighting the lamp.

[ClusterChuck]

The ONLY good thing about not having Foligno is he's getting some needed rest.
Other than 97, He puts the most effort all game, Every game.
Hopefully out briefly.

Also a chance of somebody else showing some leadership.

They tried that for awhile and Fiala just neutralizes Kap, because he overstickhandles and takes too many low percentage shots.  I like the Zucc and Rask pairing, due to the fact that they SHARE the puck and both of Kaps sidekicks are willing to let Kap drive and create the play.  Fiala likes to be the ALPHA too much.  Hartman is a good sidekick for Fiala.  Kaps too valuable to be second-fiddle to Fiala
