edit: Whoops, sorry, someone pointed this out already.

Hm? I don't follow; sorry.

Italy quite the exciting season this coming year. President, GM, coach — they are all really talented, Sweden humble guys. Hopefully the players follow suit.

Holy mixed metaphors, batman! But I liked it very much. :D

Let me sure I'm understanding you: You don't like the article.

According to Josh W on Canucks army: "On QoC/QoT for Ehlers vs. Drouin. Ehlers faces tougher competition (12.51) vs Drouin (12.37). Ehlers also had weaker teammates (14.26) vs Drouin (14.69). Those QoC/QoT measurements are based on average ES TOI for all opposing skaters."

"Can't stay healthy"? His injuries were his fault, then? The knee-on-knee collision? Being blind-sided? He should have managed to stay healthier.

Surprised at the vitriol aimed at Booth here because he's unashamedly religious. Fundamental beliefs aren't like hats that you can take on and off; they inform your very being. I don't agree with Booth on everything, but some tolerance would be nice. Were I to single out and demean another particular demographic the way folks do for Christians, there would be an outrage. On topic: mixed feelings, since I can't imagine that we're going to win the cup this coming season. Would have rather let Booth have a chance to prove himself when healthy; at worst, we continue to suck for another year to convince management that a major shakeup is needed, and at best, Booth starts performing well and we could have maybe traded him for some picks at the deadline. Cap space is nice, I guess.

I feel like we really could benefit from trading up to #1. What kind of offer would it take for Florida to accept? I've heard 6th+Horvat. Would a good defensive prospect like Tanev, 6th, and a 3rd or 2nd round pick do it? Or a solid defensive forward like Hansen?

MDC really does rub me the wrong way. I get the sense that he feels "above" the interviews or whatever. Of course this is just my own subjective interpretation of what I'm seeing; maybe in fact he's thinking of unicorns and how he can feed the poor as well as feeding passes to his linemates to help their numbers. ... but I doubt it.

My goodness, how did we go from this: to 2013-14 Edler? I think he's worth another chance with a coach that helps his game. He's only just turned 28; as a defenseman, he could still have at least another 5 good years, well within chance for our rebuilt/re-tooled cup run. What he needs is confidence, and I think that's something we can help with as fans.

Martinez??

I see what you did there. Shaw for Hawks, Kopitar for Kings.

I'm just curious; what makes you think that Kesler waives NTC to go to the worst team in the NHL?

I do that in a heartbeat. Edler has a NTC, though; will he really waive for Florida? I mean, I like Luongo, too, but...
