Does one of the trade destinations for Nazem Kadri logical?
Mick Kern: “Let me ask me this, Jim, we were just over Playoff teams. How do you sow the Metropolitan Division, which I considered the weakest of the four, not like the weak, weak, weak, that we put together the team, and we can make a case better in the top three.
Jim Biringer: “You have to say that I think Carolina One and then New Jersey Two. Washington is going to take a step back. I don’t see them win the division. I mean, they came out of nothing last year to win the division. I had them as a playoff team.
Kern: “Well, Jonathan Davis says they win the cup.”
Jonathan Davis: “I didn’t say that.”
Kern: “He said, just said they win the east. Yes, so are you shocked by that JD buy, buy, buy in the Rangers? And I don’t mean farewell, such as with purchase, purchase, purchase.”
NHL rumors: do goalkeepers have less value on the NHL trading market?
Biringer: “I am not sold to the Rangers who win the east. I think there are teams that are better than they are in the east, including the team that has just won the cup in Back-to-back year in Florida. I think they are a better team. I mean, it also all depends on the matchup, also in the first round.
I think if New Jersey and the Rangers play in the first round, I saw the Rangers finish third in the division. I think New Jersey is a better team. I think they cause the Rangers problems and New Jersey could eliminate them. And yes, I think the Rangers can bounce back and finish third in the division.
But I think the islanders are a better team. Columbus is a better team. I can’t sleep on Washington. I can still see Washington as a play-off team, but I don’t know if they are a top three team in that metro division. “
Nhlrumors.com comment: As mentioned on TSN 690 Radio in Montreal Last week one of the teams is to keep an eye on the Columbus Blue Jackets. GM Don Waddell has held Ivan Provorov and Dante Fabbro. There is talent there with Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson, Kirill Marchenko, Zach Werenski, Jet Greaves and others. Remember that they have been traded for Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood. The Blue Jackets will be a more difficult team to play by next season.
NHL -Rumors: A Connor McDavid contract update from Edmonton Oilers GM Stan Bowman
Remember that last season they almost caught the New Jersey Devils for third place in the NHL Metro Division. This will be a nice team to watch. But the New York Islanders are a better team. Again, the unknown is the New York Rangers because the schedule took a step back this season. The Pittsburgh penguins are in a rebuilding, so they will not really be a factor this year. Philadelphia has improved, but again, are they a playoff team?
The Metro Division is interesting to view this season.
