  1. I think JB is showing he's able to find elite talent outside of the top picks: Boeser for one. Maybe Gaudette too and Lind too:)
  2. So are you implying for us to become as successful as the recent Hawks and Pens we need to be so bad that our team might relocate? That sounds like a tanker philosophy, no?
  3. Super excited to see Pettersson over here. I wonder if he can play for us, like Boeser did last season and Tryamkin the season before, the last 10 or so games this spring?
  4. You're right on both accounts.
  5. At first, Phaneuf didn't want to waive his NTC too.
  6. TG plays the Twins together. Jake is over thinking the game. Clearly he's not a high IQ player. He's a physical beast though, who should be encouraged to just "go out a play". I would like him with Loui. Loui could think defense, letting Jake just play. Right now, with the Twins, Jake is playing an overly defensive role, covering for the Twins.
  7. I totally agree, but (maybe?) the pick we get in return can become that superstar dman we so badly need. Or maybe a trade like Guddy + JV to Ottawa for Chabot? We only do that though, if Jonah is the real deal, of course. It's like trading from a postilion of strength to fill a spot of weakness.
  8. Addition by subtraction. The Leafs were able to move the "PYLON" Phaneuf, and not retain salary. We should be able to do the same with Edler.
  9. That's my point. We need to relax about where a player was drafted. Maybe Jonah is the PF we need, and (if he is) then Jake could be considered redundant, no?
  10. Uh oh! That's a lot of dough for him. Maybe signing Gagner wasn't such a good idea, considering Baer is coming up? That 3 million we could have allotted to Baer. Now, maybe the best move is to trade Baer to a contender before the coming TDL?
  11. When is his current deal up?
  12. Have a beer, and chill out. Jake could bring a really good return, like a first round pick.
  13. I really like Dak. He's right up there with Newton for me as fun players to watch. Hate the Cowboys though.
  14. Too bad we couldn't get this kid on to a CHL team, where he could really develop.
  15. If he's making ignorant tweets, which could be seen as racist, that's completely wrong. He's in a very influential position with youth who look up to him, and he's certainly smart enough to realize the harm he could do. Do his actions/ words make him a racist, or ignorant though? I'm still surprised a Stanford grad, and a guy living in Seattle, would believe white people don't accept people of colour.
  16. I agree. I'm excited about, and hopeful for a better future. We have some good looking prospects on the horizon.
  17. I still don't see racism here. Sure, Sherman could be an ignorant racist, who believes all white people are not to be trusted, but I don't see him like that. Maybe he believes there is a racial bias amongst some NFL coaches against black Quarterbacks? I don't believe that's racism though.
  18. We have a lot of vets -AJ-. My point is if JB would have focussed on keeping our picks, and adding too, we would have twice the number (or more) prospects we currently have. You said we'd be doing well if our current group produced two top six forwards. Having twice as many would give us four. That's awesome!
  19. So, how do we get more prospects to increase the chances of finding more top six guys? Could it be by keeping our own picks, while also trading away vets to get even more picks? This is the same old argument, just going around and around.
  20. I said before 2018 season's end. That's when our younger guys will push Baer out anyway. Why not get something for Baer? I like Baer too, but a team that's close to a Cup (that has a top six injury) might give us a lot at one of the two coming TDLs for him.
  21. Is his home here or Quebec? Maybe as a scout for the QHL?
  22. We need to see what we have with these younger players. We know what we have with Baer. If JB could get back the second he gave up for Baer, it's a trade he should make. Then bring Goldy up.
  23. I missed Virtanen. Jake is a far more effective player on left wing. Hopefully our organization realizes this, and puts up with Bo and Boeser ( as per your suggestion). That makes Baer an extra. Gadjovic is a left wing too. Dahlen, Jake, Gadjovic. No room for Baer or Goldobin. Hmmm. Interesting.
