    So... no news at all since before free agency?

    Pumped that we got this guy. He doesn't seem to be a shrinking violet one bit. First impressions are about as good as can be for me.
  8. Western Red
    exactly. Schenn is still my #1.

    Great topic Kenny God I can't believe Ian Cole has been linked to Van today..

    If I recall, he and his wife went to Whistler during covid lockdown and ended up getting the team sick. Guys like Sutter, Edler etc.

    Disagree. It's been almost unanimous from the people I've read or listened to (whom I respect) that Nylander has had the best playoff performance of the core 4 in Toronto. I also acknowledge that this isn't saying much haha.

    I feel for the mods today FOR SURE.
  13. Western Red
    Your point?

    Kassian. High on Coke. In a Limo. Making it rain game tickets... It happened folks. IT HAPPENED.

    He's definitely a laughing stock, but he does provide entertainment. I like his antics. Poor mans Belfour.

    Enjoy your pot, he was on my radar and I remember being pissed at you because he has my last name.

    Cool, we signed a shooter. Don't really need a shooter, Is he a hard nosed type? Probably not. It's a nothingburger. No need for all these pages children.

    Do yourself a favor today and watch the Kuzmenko media presser from today. The guy is truly beautiful.

      The guy's been a Godsend, when you think about it. Showing his banana while sitting on the bench was likely the season turning point!

    Definitely fair to say.

    You've really been a dick your whole life hey?

    If Livingstone were signing with us, yes totally.. If his QO is 2.2m, someone will pay him at least 2 because it means we didn't. I stick by my 3yx2.67m
  22. Western Red
    Ok then. I'd see it as necessary depth. You do you.
  23. Western Red
    This implies that you lowball Ethan and then play chicken.. His QO is 2.2 Someone else will snap him up for 2 mil.

    Bear has a little bit more utility than Stech, but I do see them as equals. Really wish we all had an inkling towards what Myers and OEL ultimate fates are... Until then we'll be sucking the hind teet, wishing we knew. I'd like Ethan Bear : 3 years / 8.01m for 2.67aav Who says no?

    I hated the Hronek trade at first, then I flipped to looking for a silver lining.. For mental health reasons, we should all at least try to do this. Thanks.

      Hughes and Petey might've wanted out if the team was torn down to just kids up front and the awful group on the back end (Demko helps with the defense but alone he's not enough when Tank Commanders Myers and OEL are here).  Hronek fits the timeline of making this rock bottom before starting to be good again (with him and Hughes hopefully stabilizing the blueline, plus the influx of kids and hopefully a new C in place of Miller) to revamp the group behind 40 and 43.

      There is the possibility he's the new Nate Schmidt but I'll choose to be a bit more positive and see him as a contributor to future success... until proven otherwise.

      Nate Schmidt cost us only a 3rd round pick.  We received a 3rd round pick from the Laffs for Luke Schenn.  Not really a comparable imho.  And we essentially recovered that pick when we dealt Schmidt later.

      Pick value aside, at the time of the trade the expectation was for him to move to the right side and possibly become Hughes' partner.  He was an all-rounder when he was in WSH and VGK (topped off at around 35 points, which is slightly higher at this point than Hronek) and Filip was also that with DET this season (he took over as the #1 RHD ahead of Seider).  My point is hopefully he doesn't relapse statistically, as I do agree that it cost a lot more to get him than Schmidt, whereas we've paid through the nose to get Hronek after a possible anomaly of a season.
