We’re now more than a month into the 2019-20 regular season and the NHL has provided surprise and shock on a daily basis. Some of the most incredible goals of the last decade have been scored early on, including Andrei Svechnikov’s latest contribution to lacrosse lore. With teams starting to understand what they have to work with, trade talks will soon start to heat up with bigger and bigger names hearing their names floating around.
With that in mind, it’s time to run another edition of our mailbag. You can submit a question by using #PHRMailbag on Twitter or by leaving a comment down below. Make sure you get your questions in early and we’ll try to get through as many as possible when the mailbag runs on the weekend.
If you missed our last edition it was split into two parts which you can read here and here. In the first part, Brian gave Barry Trotz and the New York Islanders the benefit of the doubt and they have responded with a league-best nine-game win streak—you’re welcome, Islanders fans. The second part took a look at the Buffalo Sabres situation on defense and examined how the salary cap is determined.
Seems to me that the Rangers have a decision to make in regards to goaltending.What is your take on Lundqvist’s future .The 2 Russian kids have played great (Georgiev with NYR and Shesterkin with Hartford)I hope they don’t trade one of the kids.
Is there anything to suggest San Jose can turn it around before it becomes too late?
Its early but do you see the Islanders doing something at the deadline? Someone like Hoffman to help the offense would be nice
What’s the next move for the Rangers?
Over-under on games Landy misses?
Do you think Kovalchuk is tradable after his Dec 15 signing bonus is paid by LA.
the Bruins (lack of) secondary scoring seems to be rearing its ugly head again. the pace the perfection line is on is nice, but unsustainable. krejci coming back is a start, but do you think they have an internal candidate to plug/play and maybe alleviate some of thier woes or do they have to look outside the organization for help? I only ask because backes is on the IR for now and depending on his length of stay there they may need to explore getting actual help? thoughts?
thanks in advance.
What would a potential Kyle Turris trade look like?
Thoughts on Prokhorkin in LA? The team is floundering, and McLellan seems to refuse to put him in the lineup. When does his European assignment clause expire, and do you see him returning to the KHL before that happens?
How is it that JD gets two questions answered last time and likely will again this time too. It should be limited to 1 question per person answered. My statements keep getting taken down for zero reason. Inbox me directly if you have a problem with me. Cause this is some weak BS!
