  1. I have to say I like Ryan Graves and he is a UFA I wonder how big a deal he will get this summer
  2. Much rather slap an A on Schenn but he doesn’t have the long term commitment like OEL and Miller lol
  3. Was that severson really upset with the handslash from dries?
  4. I’ve just started watching. -2 our top line, were the goals on the forwards?
  5. I’m really curious where the Russian dman will go Simashev. As some scouts seem to be super high on Him and his potential projection.
  6. I will be looking at him now! Sneaky indeed
  7. i have a feeling ASP will be very high on our scouts lists. He could even be ranked 7. So that could be a reality. But I’m really hoping we get a top 6 pick and secure a star forward, hopefully a C. although michkov would certainly be interesting. imagine coming out this draft with: 1 of Bedard/Fantili/Carlsson and 1 of ASP/Reinbacher/Dragicevac Think we would all be on cloud 9.
  8. Couldn’t imagine that couple thriving in our market from the media / fanbase
  9. I keep thinking LA Kings are going to trade for Gavrikov but it’s not happppening. I dont really wanna trade for him because I think he’s going to chase his biggest pay day this summer and get overpaid.
  10. I don’t want dumba at all Severson will probably get over paid this summer ya we could improve somewhat from a better forward mix and commitment to team defense with a better system but I don’t see how our defense personnel will improve completely next season even if we got out Of OEL , Myers
  11. Lots of speculation from our fantastic hyper insiders on Tocchet liking him. And a management considering resigning him. And his wife is pregnant so the trade would have to be soon
  12. Sounds like we are going to resign him. so my question is.. if we resign Luke. Which I’m okay with since he gives great depth on the right side an led a safety net partner for Hughes. while adding physicality, and championship habits that we need around the room. so IF we do and they resign Bear. How does our RHD improve?
  13. I feel like petey is more fiery on the ice than all of them. I like holding off a little while here but he definitely has leader written all over him by how he overcame adversity last year, didn’t blame the injury recovery, and how he prepared and came into camp this year.
  14. ahh I’m not a fan of Calum in the top 15. i like lots of C over him and I don’t think he will go top 16 where we could have two picks. At least right now if the draft was today. how high do you like him? but just like Yager he could change my mind down the stretch here if he hits another gear or continues to progress
  15. I think so too on paper right now. very excited for who we draft with that pick and to watch Raty develop. i also think AB gonna fit in our group really nice and be a solid complimentary top 9 piece for now.
  16. Ya and by then it was too late. Especially after singing JT to the big money. They started talks with JT and priotized him in their future plans more than they did Bo. we could be drafting a super star C top of this years draft and we have Raty now too so it could all workout for the best in the long run. But still tough
  17. Well in my opinion. Both JT and Bo had 1 year remaining. Bo wanted to sign in the summer. He had talked about giving a small discount to to stay long term. But they prioritized Miller and gave the big money deal to JT than offered Bo a contract with total money well under his. Perhaps Bo felt: - he’s younger - a better leader - better at faceoffs - better at scoring goals - believed he still has higher heights - gives more to the community - is the captain - handles the media better - handles pressure better - elevated in the playoffs better - plays a premium position better Malkin almost didn’t sign in Pitsburg last summer because he didn’t feel prioritized. This isn’t uncommon. He felt undervalued and not prioritized like JT was. His camp wanted a Sean Couturier comp 7.5 million, I’m sure 6.75-7.5 would have gotten Bo signed if we had traded Miller in the summer or not signed him to a bigger money deal before offering Bo his contract. Bo wanted the deal done in the summer and don’t want the distraction but he felt so undervalued that he bet on himself and saw the writing was on the wall. i could be wrong but this is my feeling.
  18. It’s not too crazy to think he could score 35-40 goals regularly here in his prime with barzal flanking him. i don’t think it’ll be anything like a Gomez situation. Still frustrating we probably could have signed Bo to 6.75 x 8 or something if we didn’t sign JT first
  19. Well let’s hope he and EP hit that would be tremendous
