  1. I really like Gaunce too. The team asked him to move to wing to play more in straight lines and he did. Then he went back to centre on the big club, and was far more involved. I see other teams really wanting him, so JB might include him to sweeten a Hansen type deal. Maybe?
  2. Math wise, what you propose makes really good statistical sense. I cannot refute those numbers, but IMHAO, it's more than numbers. It's opportunity at drafting elite D in rounds two and three wasted for average, fringe NHL, place holders that could have been signed through UFAs. Examples: Santorelli, Matthias, Richardson, and a big tough D man. In the new Cap era these come for rea lively cheap. I think we basically gave away chances for elite D, albeit low odds, on players on players we didn't need.
  3. Your math is impressive. All I'm saying is IMHAO it's better to have a chance (even if it's only a small one) at getting a top player drafting than trading for someone who has had their chance in hopes that guy improves.
  4. What's up with this picture? I can't stop staring at the damned thing!
  5. I'm listening to all the juicy conversations that Google records! .
  6. Vey, Baer, Pedan? Ligitimate players on a Cup team? Seriously? These guys are, at best, place holders.
  7. This group traded Kassian and added a fifth just to dump the guy. Then TL said, in response to criticism for not getting a better return, said something like: "you realize who we're trading, right?". There is not much compassion here. Vey will not get a qualifying offer.
  8. That's exactly why rebuilding teams accumulate picks in the first three rounds. They give themselves more chances at getting elite players from the later picks. As the odds decrease those teams keep their odds almost like having first round picks. It's the smart way.
  9. Love that move! "The two yutes." Joe Pecci is too funny in that one.
  10. Is he now worth more in trade than the second JB gave up for him, or less? Maybe that's how to classify Baer's improvement?
  11. Who knows what's in the minds of GMs, or Hansen? We can generate lists, but do they really mean anything?
  12. Considering it is Burr's final year, then why not trade Hansen (collecting assets) and let Burr play out the string? Heck, if he plays well enough, we might be able to move him at the TDL?
  13. That's a very good question. Is this the final year of his contract?
  14. Kowakian monkey-lizard is close enough to cat for me. Come on over and I'll serve you up.
  15. Considering I'm a puppet, I'm kind of getting a liking for your little avatar. Is it part cat? Wanna come for dinner?
  16. Bo is a top six forward, and so are virtanen and Boeser. Baer, on a good team, is not on the team. So we really only have three current top six forwards in our system. We need a center, with that I agree. If we sign Stamkos (not a chance) he would be one more. Lucic (more likely) is one, but only for a couple to three seasons. We really need to hit a home run with this draft, and come out with an elite number one center - Logan Brown and Bo Horvat would be a nice one two punch.
  17. Or the Bonino role in Pitsburgh? But Bo won't have Kessel and Haglund on his wings.
  18. I'm happy with a good team too, but not at the expense of a proper rebuild. The players contributing need to be the younger guys, and not old free agents. Look at the Sharks. Will they even be in the playoffs next season?
  19. Yup, this year was the perfect year to tank. Those other loser teams were just too good for us:(
  20. With our D and goalies, that's a playoff team you just posted. You realize that means no high pick next season?
  21. Who will his wingers be? Etam and Vey?
  22. Bye Bye Burr. It's been nice having you on our team.
  23. You're very cute, for sure. These acronyms are killing me. I come up with my own expansions, but I know it they can't be right.
