  1. Gonna be back to 9th with the Nashville win.
  2. Just thought everybody should know as this game is going, we are currently 6th in the draft lottery order and will stay there if we lose. Making the next two spots the only other possible ones we could jump to by losing are Calgary and NYI. They have 73 points each, we have 79.
  3. Brent Sutter for instance? Probably wishing he invited him to the WJ 's
  4. I was thinking about this as well. Those 3 games, while being out of the playoffs could really drop the team back down.
  5. I am kinda hoping we land one more pick in the top 10. Not to move up. If we manage to win the lottery, then great, if not, well that's no loss. Getting Ottawa's pick and Etem from Anaheim for Kes, among other things should be a main focus. I kinda think Kes would be traded to Pittsburgh first though. Dealing within the division is a dangerous game. Pairing Etem with Shinkaruk again though is extremely attractive!!!
  6. Kass is just starting to scratch the surface of his potential. That goal he scored tonight which Garry Valk had to replay again and again just to show how much Kass has matured and is using his size and strength as a power forward. I mean, people talk about Jensen, but Kass has 5 points in two games, lol. As much as Jensen has had in his entire career thus far.
  7. I thought we sent 3rd as well. Either way, you answered my question. Thanks.
  8. Was that the pick we sent to SJ along with Rahimi and White for Ehrhoff and Lukowich?
  9. Yikes!!! People really underrate Gaunce on here. He is going to be a good player in this league. He does have top end skill.
  10. It's funny how one draft and the Nhl success of a prospect really changes the outlook of everything. I still stand by my thoughts that Horvat, Gaunce, Shinkaruk, and Cassels will all be sure fire NHLers in the next 3-5 years.
  11. If we can't get into the top 10 in the draft, then we gotta give'r on the playoffs. I am not sold on this team being a playoff team...yet. They are beating who they should beat, but still can't beat the next tier. Next week should be telling.... On a lighter note, damn Jensen is white hot right now!!! If we sneak into the playoffs, then it's likely we play STL, who has no wins vs us this season.
  12. Aww jeeze. You guys. I guess this means he's pretty good defensively eh?
  13. But you see the point. Next year most likely, we will be having one or two centers playing wing. Whomever can't or won't, will probably be sent packing or off to the AHL. That's alot of center depth though, hey?!
  14. With the type of game Bo plays, I think he can jump onto the 3rd line. Not expecting a ton of points out of him. 20-30 would be good. Any more than that is a bonus. His defensive game is what we need. And also, I am in full agreement with Matthias being moved to left wing. So if Bo is good enough, how does this shake out for our bottom 6? Matthias-Horvat-Kassian...I don't know about that line. It may skate really well, but lacks experience. These aren't 1st overall picks after all. Higgins-Horvat-Kassian Matthias-Richardson-Sestito...that seems pretty good for bottom 6.
  15. Matthias and Horvat should be on the same line next year, without a doubt (or Chris Higgins.) Center depth is a great thing to have. Hank Kes Shreds Matthias Richardson Dalpe Horvat Gaunce Cassels Oh and I almost forgot Dane Fox plays some center too! Umm, just guessing, but someone is going to have to learn how to play wing if they wanna play on this team next season.
  16. Teravinen is 165 lbs soaking wet.... He has the skill, but not the heft to play in the league. Hope he has his head on a swivel!
  17. The team is so depressing right now that I find this section of the forum to be the only solace. Also, we need a D prospect real badly. If we get 1st overall, gotta draft Ekblad. If Kes is off to the Penguins and we get Pouliot out of the deal (and don't draft 1st overall) I am hoping for Dalle Colle.
  18. If we draft a small player, he has to be a winger, built like a brick s#!+ house, very fast, and determined. All I have to say about that! I think we will tank down to about 5. If we are picking and Dalle Colle is still there, best believe he is going to be drafted by us. The chemistry between him and Cassels is undeniable.
  19. That's if Torts is here next season. The fact that this team is failing like this is a sign of Torts losing the room already. Long contract, but if they keep losing like this, he will lose more than 8 mil from that contract!!!
  20. We seriously need a more skill player drafted in this one. I even wouldn't be against drafting another center if he is in the sort of mold of Teravinen. Defense first though.
  21. Did anybody honestly think Eddie would be this good? It's so Rollie helping everyone realize their potential! Cory, Lu, and now Lack are all Nhl starters. That's 3 of 30. And though Lu was already established before, how many clubs can say 3 of their goalie are now full out Nhl starters? Rollie will turn Jacob into something pretty great!
  22. Yeah, I know that. They will be in a cup run though. If this is something revisited come July 1st, then okay. I can live with it and it would be AWESOME!!!! Right now though, it's not realistic.
  23. Seriously guys.... No one is waiving their NTC to go from a team primed for a cup run to a team that is not making the playoffs!
