  1. Peeke was a MINUS 6 tonight. Why in God’s name would we want this piece of craperolla? This guy is the ayatollah of Craperolla.
  2. Hronek is a fabulous player. We are so blessed to have a good GM again who can identify great D (like Gillis did with Errhoff and Hamhuis) and bring in these great players. Hronek was a steal.
  3. Just thinking we are so fortunate to have management smart enough to avoid the Horvat anchor contract. We dodged that bullet and turned it into a super win: Hronek, new Beau, and Raty.

    Thank you JR!

      I agree but...I'd like to see how Miller's contract ages in 4-5 years time??

  4. In Woo’s goal celebration Raty comes into the group. I didn’t really understand how big Raty is. He’s huge! I can see why Allvin wanted him included in the Bo trade.
  5. The good thing about Kravtsov is he is a good defensive player. He can play a fourth line role. He’s big and has skill too. Plus he was free.
  6. The jersey, as stated by the league and previously posted in other threads, represents inclusion. It’s about welcoming people who have been marginalized and treated badly by society and by hockey too. How is that not a good thing?
  7. And what does this have to do with wearing a jersey that represents the inclusion of gay people into our hockey culture?
  8. Not even Bo doing the “little things” is helping the Islanders tonight. Pens lose and Florida winning big. Looks like Florida moves back into a playoff spot. Habs fans be crying.
  9. Totally agree. Hronek’s current trade value has nothing to do with his draft position. A guy’s draft position will impact his trade value for a couple years post draft. At 25 a guy’s value is in how good he is. And Hronek is very good.
  10. For sure it would be great if OEL could still be a useful player. But it’s an “if”. A buyout is a “for sure”. No risk. We clear 7 million for next year. We don’t need risks.
  11. What? Hronek just turned 25 not 20. Steal of a deal by our GM. Kind of like a Gillis move. Very smart.
  12. Actually we would have to pay more, or (more likely) Hronek isn’t even available. Yzerman found out how valuable Hronek was to their club since gone. Add that to the Islanders’ pick being of lesser value now, at the cost to pry Hronek out of Detroit would be more than we could afford. Thank goodness Allvin made the deal when he did.
  13. This makes no sense. Yzerman made a huge error trading their best D man to us for a later first and a mid second. The Wings have gone in the dumpster since Hronek has been out of their lineup. SLO Mo is showing he’s not able to play the hard minutes. Allvin with the steal of the TDL. Brilliantly done too. Turn our Elephant into a 25 year old, elite RS #2 D, a 24 year old top six forward, and a great 20 year old centre prospect. And some Canuck fans think that’s a bad deal? ROTFALMAAO
  14. Hronek is 25, and an elite RSD. The Wings went into the toilet when he went out of their lineup. We see how, even not at 100%, how much he helps us. That was a steal of a deal!
  15. IMHAO Brock is the most loved of our guys. He’s just not liked as a player so much by many.
  16. Not buying out OEL scores ____ out of 10 on the smart-o-meter.
  17. I’m hoping our owner will approve the OEL buyout. It’s beyond stupid to allocate 8 mil from our cap to a bottom pairing D role. (OEL 7.25 in the press box and his replacement, who is a better player, earning league minimum) We buyout OEL and then allocate 4-5 mil to a top 4 D, like Gravikov. Even in years 3/4 of the boy out cost that’s right about what would be allocated for a much lesser player. kind of obvious which direction is the stupid one. Don’t ya think?
  18. It’s easy to solve. Buyout OEL. That clears 7 million off the cap.
