Butters Stoch

I feel like he can still be a good addition if used properly. Problem in Buffalo is they completely overplay him. Remember how atrocious Edler's +/- and play was under Willie Desjardins?

I'd obviously take Motte over Eriksson if we're taking their contracts into account but Motte is not a better player for LE at the moment.

I'm proud of the fact that this is such a fun team to follow despite the lack of cups. We get ragged on a LOT by fans of other teams for having no cups but I feel like the majority of crap talking fans of the other teams weren't even alive to enjoy their last cup win and have just been watching their own teams be mediocre for the past decade. I couldn't give less of a crap about a team's history before I became a fan in 2003. We've had some absolutely dominant seasons and teams that were just a blast to watch that have left me with some awesome memories despite not winning a cup. I wouldn't trade those memories for cheering for a team with a "rich history" that hasn't had anything to be excited about for decades.

Bold. I'm sure he'll have a solid rookie season but, like Heiskanen, way too many other flashier rookies will be ahead of him for the Calder if he even plays this season. Hughes, Makar, Kakko just to name a few.

Sounds like our beloved Troy Stecher to me. We traded him away for nothing though so I guess we have to say something to make ourselves feel better.

Man that 2011 defence was stackkked. No franchise guys but just about everyone there was a top pairing dman.

Also can't pronounce Boeser. Doesn't seem like the brightest guy but at least he's a good hockey player.

Liked him but he might be one concussion away from retiring. And like the other poster mentioned, he's pretty much exactly like Baerstchi.

Paul George just made OKC trade him to the Clippers because of Kawhi's decision. I hate the NBA sometimes and how their superstars always just decide to build their own super teams when they feel like it.

I'm excited to see Juolevi in the NHL too but he will not be gifted a spot on opening night, especially not after out upgrades on D. Can see him slotting in with the inevitable injuries though.

I don't think this deal is that bad for the Avs as everyone else seems to think. Kadri is on an amazing contract at only 4.5mil for the next 3 years while Barrie is likely leaving to get PAID as a UFA next year.Sucks that they gave up Kerfoot but that pretty much makes the deal closer to even.

Wouldn't mind giving him a year or two here. He's still a good defenceman, just has injury problems.

I'm excited about him too but lets keep our expectations tempered. I remember people getting all hyped up on Kole Lind just because he was a late 1st rounder in some mock drafts and put up similar numbers to Cody Glass... and of course Benning's famous line at the draft.

Leafs suck blablah yeah I get it we all hate the Leafs and all too but they're a good team now whether you like them or not. The Oilers over the past 10-15yrs is one of the biggest failures in all of pro sports teams. They need to invent a word for the complete opposite of a dynasty because that's what the Oilers are.

I don't see Jake becoming much more than a good 3rd liner and I'm actually fine with that. Goldy still has potential but it's getting harder and harder to see him reaching that potential but we can afford to give him one more year to see what he's got.
