Very impressive! Do you know who holds the current record?

Thanks. Not a bad option either at .939 and 1.94

What happens if lack or Miller get hurt and he gets called up? Does someone have to pass through waivers again or is there some sort of emergency call up clause?

Lol. No kidding

Good point. I'd be real cautious about considering moving him for those reasons alone.

Kind of hard to give him up though. Especially at his age. I'd rather see Lack have a few good starts to increase his value in a package or something.

Any idea on how he did on the dot?

? It's a conditioning stint, meant to get players into game shape after being injured.

LOL somewhere choking on his own junk

1 goal and 1 assist for Guance! Hunter also with an assist!

First pro goal for Gaunce http://www.uticacomets.com/

Every time I see that someone has posted in this thread I am hopeful that it is some sort of an update on Bo Horvat Maybe you guys can continue this discussion through PM's

??? Seems like an odd hypothetical scenario to be concerned about at this time in his career. Hypothetically, he could also lose his tongue in a flossing accident. Then what do we do!?!

I like how that sounds

Wow, referencing your own obscene post count to infer superiority over another. This is one of the biggest d-bag comments I have ever heard. You should actually take some time and think about what you are bragging about here. Such experience, such talent - What a Joke!

Sorry but I can't seem to post the link but the link and article are in the "Kesler trade to Chi/Pits" thread in CT pg 41 post # 1226 Not much to it really, at all. Don't see how it justified a title change to the thread, but whatever.

Did you read the article? Cause it seemed like baseless speculation coming out of Chicago to me.

Then maybe you should move on. If you see them as perpetual losers who will always be perpetual losers then why trouble your self? Any reasonable person would remove themselves from a situation that caused them so much grief. Seriously, is their anything that you like about this team? If not then do your self a favour. This is just ridiculous and irrational.

Fair enough.

I'm not too sure what you mean by this first statement. Weren't you trying to establish that the cause for success in the NHL is size. And the flip side to this is that if a larger player does not have the skill he will not be able to implement the benefits of his size anywhere near the NHL ice surface. It is not as simple just as narrowing it down to one quality or another. Of course size is important and sure smaller players can be very risky but the players that may be available at 6th (Ehlers, Nylander) are not even close to Petan. I do not see the relevance of this comparison.

I have not seen anyone state that focusing on smaller players is a sound primary strategy for drafting; rather, I believe the primary strategy in these situations is drafting skill. The same could be said for focusing on players just because they are big - not a good strategy. I would like to see this data which describes the correlation between size and production; however, I would bet that it pales in comparison to the strong positive correlation between SKILL and point production. Correlation does not always equal causation. Success in the NHL is dependent on many more variables than just size or skill.

What doesn't make sense is people on this board talking about trading a pick that does not even belong to the canucks.

And the start of the 201st page!

See!
