@HerrDrFunk Was that you that asked them on facebook? 

@thejazz97 Nah, I did it through Twitter 

If you want something accurate give Stetcher High top 6 potential and make him 79 overall. Demko a high starter or Med elite. Around 73-76 overall.

non-keeper btw

I wouldn't. Gut response? That's garbage for you. Parise is the worst player in the deal and OEL and/or Parise aren't good enough to outweigh losing Tavares + Voracek.

^ Unless one of them is injured that I don't know about

Which is also another reason why I wanted to get a better cooler because it's been at 100 for who knows how long (literally probably a year or two) running at 100c (i never dusted it out right so idk how long it was at that temp for lol). I figured if I got a legit ass cooler then it might help it a little bit after being so hot for so long.

This is the cooler i'm buying as well: https://www.amazon.ca/Noctua-NH-U12-Sockets-Heatpipe-Cooling/dp/B00C9EYVGY

yeah thanks for all the help, imma test it in a few hours and hopefully it's good!!

Ah yes, Noctua. Ugly but super effective. Luckily you can replace the brown fans with aftermarket fans if color is important to you (it is to me). 

Quite frankly your chip has probably already experienced some degradation if it was at 100 degrees for any length of time - particularly if it had been like that for a few months. With that said, your performance graph still isn't that bad so I don't see why you couldn't get another year or two out of it so long as you baby it a bit more.

And creating everyone takes soooooooo long...

Yeah, they actually have to play a real (not preseason) game before they get added. Eichel didn't get added to NHL 16 until the Sabres first game last year.

Dont forget tim horton

if juolevi can put on 10-15 pounds of muscle  by next  training camp he be nhl ready  195 pounds is decent size  seeing nhl is wussy these days less harsh hits and smurfs like gaudreau  playing in league  its def nhl lite these days compared to scott steven yrs he would kill johnny canuck with a hit 

Juikevi could get by in the East if he was on a good team. He is just as good as Maata if not better. Only concern is the west because there are some heavy forwards and teams but with his elite hockey iq and excellent skating ability he could avoid hits like smaller d men do. 

I graduated high school at 6'3 205 and thought I wouldn't grow anymore, but 7 years later I'm 6'5 240ish and in better shape now. Muscles will fill out the frame eventually. I wouldn't be worried about it yet.

I'm not worthy

thank you

@Wilbur

From Babcock's latest comments that someone pointed to on HF, it might be possible that the Leafs don't plan on pros pursuing Stamkos at all. It could just be him trying to tone down the speculation but I think Toronto maybe in a similar position as Tampa soon when they will have their young stars to give out big contracts to and the Stamkos contract could end up being a burden.

Certainly don't see him getting the 'Cody Franson treatment', but I'd set a limit at 8.5 mill, if I were a GM.

Team-harmony/cohesiveness is more important than splashing out on hired guns.

I'd say just make him the highest paid player in the league and I'm sure he'd at least consider it. Even if it's only 100K-500K more then Kane and Toews. 

also...how, if any, will his latest medical issue(blood clot) affect his playing ability and long term career decisions?

Yeah, lots of red flags. Ideally, I would offer him 1 year at max $$, tell him to prove himself next year, then re-sign him to whatever he shows. Obviously that wouldn't be 100% safest considering he could just leave, but that wouldnt really matter anyways because we got him for free in the first place.

He would never be ok with that obviously (someone will give him a max contract right away July 1st probably), but that would be ideal. 

We always assume SOME GM will come along, & ante up.

Wondering if this might be the case where that doesn't occur?

Likely SS is kicking himself now, for not taking Yzer's offer(or negotiating with greater commitment)?

Good thing you're not an English prof. But Hamonic is a legitimate top pairing D-man. Edler is a Number 3 on a good team, and McCann is an unproven 19 year old who could be an Elite 2nd liner like Kesler. Also, the Islanders are a desirable team. On the East Coast, less travel, close to Manhattan, a team with a lot of potential. However, I am not Edler and I don't know what teams he will be willing to move too. 

There was a report by Botch a few months ago (might have been in the Provies after a game) but he said the chances of Edler ever waiving his no-trade clause is practically 0. 

If they asked him for a list, chances are he'd give a list of teams that literally can't acquire him, for example. He doesn't want to leave.

edler has said in past he wont waive ntc  its not happening  vancouver is his home now  it doesnt matter if your proposing a trade with him because its not on radar for benning to do.  as soon as edler was injured  our season was over  we lost almost 10 games in a row without him    tryamkin and edler would be a fun pairing to watch 

edler tryamkin  

hutton tanev

sbisa juolevi    much better d corp

Quotes are remembered now, like if you close a thread mid response type thing. If you erase the one you don't want by CTRL + left clicking the little box that appears on the top left of the box when you scroll over it, you can add the quote you actually wanted.

Why is that so confusing.. That makes sense. I used to just back out when i decided to scrap a reply, but now it stays and its super annoying D:

Sorry, meant to say CTRL + right click

Except we did. There were gm's who came forward and said they didn't even know Hodgson was on the market. Hodgson signed a huge contract after he was traded showing he was worth much more than Kassian. Just because Hodgson ended up sucking doesn't mean we shouldn't have gotten much more for him in the trade.

I'll second this. Anyone going to game should bring an over-sized face sign of Auston Matthews.

you sound like a leaf fan...not a canuck fan...

Nope. In fact I think we'd be extremely lucky to get one or the other of those.

Vrbata and a 2nd for Bowey maybe a start.. but I still doubt it.

not happening  but hopefully pens or wings or bruin give us their 1st for

vrbata we need to draft our dcorp not trade because the prices for d are way to high

Notice me

lol, "lose with respect", there is no such thing in the NHL, if you aren't goin' out swinging, you're viewed as a team that can be taken advantage of physically. Besides, FLA had no Ekblad, could have been a different game with that kid in the line-up - Yes, he is that good.

It's mostly Shawn Thornton.

^ Takes one to know one eh??
