  1. Pretty cool Canadian kid.

    Yes we develop the best hockey players in the world, but we have some of the brightest minds too. Young people like this are our why our future is bright! 

  2. If so that’s a huge overpay for a guy who can’t skate. Definitely a guy we DO NOT WANT!
  3. Bedard looks like a tree stump. Is he kind of built like Crosby: huge lower body?
  4. If Benning could plan beyond “day to day” he would have opened the cap space to sign both Petey and Quinn to 8.5 x 8 contracts.
  5. @mll will know. Do clubs have to tender qualifying offers to injured players?
  6. Sold on the move isn’t exactly right. It’s more like Benning had to be told to pick Petey. The story reported includes Linden needing to step in and support the voices of the scouts for Petey over Glass. Benning seems a nice enough guy. But when it came to his belief in his own scouting ability he grossly overrated himself. So much so it was a serious flaw. He was GM and no longer had the time to scout properly. He should have accepted that fact.
  7. Sounds like we just won't qualify Bear if he's injured like this.
  8. Peeke was -41 this past season. IMHAO he's not what we need.
  9. You are wrong. Demko, Hughes, Petey, Hronek, and Miller are all elite.
  10. Yup. The Jackets are all in right now. Their key guys are getting older and it's go time. Miller + 11 for 3 + Guddy
  11. Miller + 11OA for 3OA + Gudbranson? Read that here before. Hughes carries Guddy's 5 on 5 minutes.
  12. So the guy they get at 3OA (likely Carlsson) will be their number one centre and taking those super important minutes? Carlsson is going to be really good. But he’s most likely 3-5 years away from making the needed impact to help them win as a 1C. They have a group of older players who play key roles. They brought in Babcock. They need a number one centre who can help them now and for the next 3-5 years. Miller + 11OA for 3OA + is something they would very much desire.
  13. We are the best at hockey and the Yankees can suck pucks.
  14. We will be better than all teams next season that don’t get to our 105 points. Demko, Hughes, Hronek, Petey, Miller. That’s an elite core.
  15. Gudbranson is better than Myers. Love to see him here and praying with Hughes. Hughes would make Guddy look like an all star.
  16. We win but they still have Peter’s burgers.
  17. Bettman directs the refs to “manage” games and series. It’s so obvious it’s sad. Great clubs who win cups overcome the corruption in the league. And then there are the z Leafs who get every benefit from Burma and still are losers. The z Habs who Bettman wants to win too are just terrible too. Bad drafting and horrid contracts mske them losers.
  18. And how good are those guys for the 85% of the game they don’t have the puck do have to think defensively? Give me Oetey without the puck over those other guys. Especially McWiner baby. He’s the worst without the puck.
