  1. Hopefully cuddles and a Canucks win helps your cat bounce back to good health =)
  2. Doesnt the AHL have a cap of 5-6 veteran players on the roster. I don't see why anyone would sign him on. Sure it would have been better if he joined the SHL, but take the money and run. A lot of us would take 5x our salary if put in the same situation.
  3. 13 points in 35 AHL games, I can't see there being many suitors. Probably taking one last big paycheck to set himself up for life.
  4. Guance Virtanen Vey Did we ever live through interesting times
  5. You may have to hand out my resume for me. Affordable living, always warm and I think the panthers season tickets are still under $2k for ice level
  6. Lol now we're talking. I'll have to bring you a carepackage next time I'm in Nuckstown for a game. I'll need your milkshake request too
  7. Lol the Dome smell is just the horse craperolla that they use to heat the building I've gotten use to it after 3 years . I agree he's a bit overrated and at this point in his career a 3rd liner on a good team. But a top 6 of Mangepane, Pelletier, Dube, Garland would even make Montreal seem like giants
  8. Don't see Calgary being interested at all in Garland who we couldn't even flip for a 7th. I think they will either flip him for a 1st at the deadline if they are out of the playoffs or give him the captaincy along with his extension.
  9. I think it would be sufficient to go for a mid line skate that you find comfortable to be honest. They may only be a few grams heavier but save $200-300. They are also not as stiff which can be a preference. I may have bought Toffoli's skates from a certain rival team's s locker room sale. The only difference that I found is that they feel lighter than my skates from 10 years ago and I can lean into the skate much more during games.
  10. Went with Pod, just because you know what you are getting. At the very least he will be a career grinder type player but the potential of being a top 6. Hogs, I feel like he is our most boom or bust prospect. The games I watched in the AHL, he is normally the best player on the ice. He has Marchand-like antics which can throw off the other teams but he has also cost a few games due to ultimately penalties. Needs to learn to traverse the grey areas better Bains sadly i haven't paid much attention to but a feel good story of a player earning every minute he gets
  11. I think the narrative was that he wouldn't learn that much playing a powerforward game pushing around 16 year olds. *edit I forgot about the Hitmen handling him improperly too* I never liked the pick since I was hoping for Ehlers and he looked unmotivated when I saw him play twice against the Ice Caps. I had my fair share of brown bags thrown at me when people defended him "put him on with the Sedins, his value is in the playoffs, powerforwards take longer to develop" I feel optics definitely played a part. McCann played great during the preseason and deserved staying up for 10-20 games. But how do you send down a player drafted 6th before the player drafted 24th in the same draft?
  12. The unfortunate thing about Virtanen and McCann is that it was either NHL or CHL during their rookie year. A year or two finding their feet playing top 6 minutes in the AHL would have done wonders for them.
  13. Should be a fun game to watch in the background. Will the new kids on the block win their first Calder or the oldest team in the AHL add to their record? Also pretty salty that we lost Lind, he looks like he already belongs in the NHL
  14. I feel like this could get exploited easily by the deep pocket teams (New York/Toronto) Example if Kane thinks he only has 3 years left, New York could offer $7 million x5 years with the under the table agreement he will be bought out at 3. Vs a small market team offering $10 million by 3 No cap penalty and $14 million would be a rounding error to some of these owners. Especially if it brings home a championship
