  1. Good. Cleaning the garbage up one piece at a time.
  2. I agree. With the current trend to get young guys into your lineup as quickly as they can handle it, a 24-year-old who hasn't cut it yet is pretty much a forgotten man. Patience in the NHL ain't what it used to be.
  3. Right...because those first 3 can't wait to waive their NTCs to go to the worst team in the league.
  4. Incredible. So 2 years worth of Ryan Kesler > many years worth of Sam Reinhart?
  5. Sure, but this team is no contender either way. A hole on the second line for a year or two for a team that won't win anyway is kinda irrelevant. If Reinhart is the prize, then get him first and worry about lesser things afterwards.
  6. I would think it would involve Kesler, but a 3-way deal would need to be worked-up.
  7. If Sam is what Jim really wants, I hope he finds a way to get it done.
  8. I'm really hoping the days of players here being "given" anything are now over.
  9. Gut feeling says he won't be back. He played well, but he isn't size and he isn't youth. Journeymen of his ilk are available all over the place.
  10. There's no reason to re-sign him at all. The only spot that makes sense for him is 3C and I have to believe that spot will be Horvat's to lose. Schroeder, unfortunately, is a drafting fail.
  11. The emergence of Desjardins here is kind of surprising. Rookie President, rookie GM, rookie head coach at 57 years old? All handling a very veteran team? Not your everyday formula for sure. I smell an old Medicine Hat connection.
  12. I often dream of trading Edler and it's always a warm, happy, childlike dream. And the strange thing is....it never matters who we get in return, the dream is always good.
  13. To clarify, the Aquilinis have given Trevor carte blanche and JB has Trevor's confidence. We're going to find out here pretty quick that making Trevor the point man for the new future was the pivotal move. And I'm fully convinced Benning is the correct hire. I think the choosing of the head coach will be a more divisive thing for Canuck fans.
  14. If Benning can move the puzzle that is Alexander Edler then he would be my hero.
  15. Yep, some of the forward groups Trotz has had to work with have been downright abysmal. I think he knows which way the wind blows.
  16. They didn't even line up for handshakes did they? I think the ref broke up the 0:00 mess and waved everybody to the rooms, right? I'm foggy on that. I would have thought J.D. Watt would be involved. Everytime something brainless was going on, Watt was involved.
  17. Why would he respect the leaders on our team? He seemingly can't respect the leaders on his own team. I'm sure a guy like Bergeron just shakes his head at the guy sometimes.
  18. People can opine all they want...bottom line is the guy's a helluva player.
  19. I agree, the Hawks are the most fun team in the league to watch. But then they've got half a dozen pretty special players to make it all go.
  20. Man, between the Islanders and Oilers, you woulda hated the '80's!
  21. What? There's been 9 different cup champs in the past 10 years.
