  1. If Bo gets sent down, There really isn't any guarantee his offense will improve more than if he spends his time in the NHL. He may get more time in the line up. OHL is slower paced and the coach plays him in top defensive match up as a shut down center. He is not being pushed by London knights to be a their main offensive threat.

  2. This new ruling hasn't started yet. I think it is expected to start in the Next Offseason. So we should be safe from that.

    From the article
    The Senators received a conditional draft pick as a result of that fracas and no club has been compensated similarly since. That can be expected to change, maybe beginning as soon as next offseason.

  3. RFA Question

    Example Johansen with CBJ.

    If they can not come to a contract agreement. What happens? Arbitration? and what ever the decision is Johansen is forced to sign? If NHL starts before an agreement is made does he have to sit out in the box until there is a contract?
    Has this ever happened before or in most cases is the RFA signed before the season starts?

  4. It would of been cool though If Benning knew already if Tallon was going to say no. Than we could of maybe done something like this. If value is good?

    Trade 6 for 7 and a 2nd or 3rd while having the team sign a contract saying they wont draft V,
    Than continue down. 7 for 8th+2/3 etc and go down to 10 or so. Than scoop up all the extra 2nds/3rds for the draft and cash in.

  5. Great pick! Guy's a monster. Linden said they're trying to get a visa to bring him over for development camp and young stars

    This kid is going to tower over all of the players at the Young Stars Tourney

    "I like to hop into a cold tub before every game," McCann said. "I don't like to get away from the things I do before the game. I'm pretty superstitious."

  7. according to a Blackhawks blog, Chicago fans seem to think Sharp and Leddy or Sharp and Versteeg would do the trick (for Kesler)...

    If Chicago would trade us Sharp or Seabrook and Versteeg for Kesler maybe we could flip our 6, Seabrooke/Sharp/Versteeg to Florida for 1st pick. A left winger or a Defense player with cup experience who could help lead Panthers is something you think they would want/need. Than its kind of like kesler and our 6th for 1st. Not sure if that is Over payment or not. Most would agree Kesler for the 1st alone would never happen. Not sure if 6+ Sharp/Versteeg would be enough for the Panthers

    Sharp has a limited NMC and Seabrook has a limited NTC. I think Versteeg doesn't have any.

    Sharp would look great one our line though as well. But not getting younger with that trade And I wouldn't mind getting Leddy in a trade. But we are backlogged in Defense as it is with our contract prices. So would have to get one of the other NTC to move or trade Tanev.
