  1. OK... I sure hope JB is leaving enough $ for Petey, Hughes and maybe one decent guy for our bottom 6!
  2. I think he had better luck with his health and conditioning last season as opposed to prior ones... $1M is a huge bargain for his experience, leadership, face-offs, PK.... if he can play 80%+ of next season, we'll be blessed!
  3. what?? you didn't know??? players' agents have been talking to teams for days unofficially to get a headstart to agree stuff... the 9am is just to officially announce deals!!
  4. Agreed mate!! Sutter is not even that old... in early 30's still and got lots of gas in the tank if healthy... he needs to bulk up more for the love of God!!!!
  5. Highmore was listed as a centre in a lot of sites.... just wish he could do a decent job at C so he could offer us even more options... but I like him as our extra forward!! I don't think Schenn at this stage is good enough to be our full-time D-man though... more like rotating with Hunt as extras??
  6. Wouldn't it be funny if Sutter suddenly breaks out and outperforms Dickinson and reclaim the 3C spot?? ^^ not saying I want that to happen but..... ya never know!
  7. OK I'm happy with this one year cheap deal to see if he can stay strong and contribute!! I like it!! Good on Brandon to overlook $ and try to do more for this team!! Respect!!!
  8. Edmonton won this trade.... no disrespect to Bear who I'm sure is a decent D-man but Foegele is a very solid 3rd line guy!!! I'd take him over Pearson!
  9. Why just one year deal? and the $1.5M will count towards our cap right? why not offer him 2 years, $1.5M per? we don't know if DiPietro is gonna be ready next season... I am not that optimistic.... but with Halak, that's quality backup in limited games!!
  10. Ya we already had that type of players... Hawryluk and Boyd both could play centre and wing!! They'd be happy return for $800k!!
  11. Knowing JB, he's gonna offer him $2.5M x 3 and calls Sutter an integral part this time!!
  12. Well Z-Mac is signed for next season too but I was very disappointed he couldn't elevate his game last season. If Khaira can do a passable job at centre, would be nice to bring home a local boy for 4C. But now that Beagle is gone, who's gonna be our faceoff specialist in PK??
  13. I'm so torn between Hunt and Schenn... Hunt is a bit too small but got some offensive upside... Schenn can't really skate but is so tough!! But looks like they are both here to fill out the D. Guess we can't afford to bring back Hamonic or anyone better with a tight cap space!!
  14. So... we now know what Nate is really like.... when he first joined, he was all smiles and fun... after one tough season, he just wanna get the hell out before his value sinks further after the current deal.... well, he could have sucked it up and vowed to push harder for the team!! Now that's the difference between a loser and a real team player like Captain Bo.... Oh well... can't wait to see him gone!
  15. Stupid NHLPA.... they must be the ones that came up with NTC!!! If you hated Winnipeg that much, just ask them to release you after the trade.. or trade you again.... we need your cap space, Nate!! Don't you understand you have to accept the trade IF you didn't wanna be here? FFS!
  16. any minute now my friend... be patient!!! just hang in there for a little bit longer.....
  17. We'll drive them to the airport and claim expense from Brian Burke!! One is never healthy/consistent enough to do much... and the other is moping because he can't put up points for fun anymore...
  18. I confirm... it is true... any minute AS WE SPEAK... don't go away as our Schmidt trade thread refreshes every minute... word in the streets is that we will very likely get a pick or two back!! 3-4 teams have been circling back in the last hour or so...
  19. woooo... this is fun!! OK realistically, I'd wanna see: Miller - Petey - Boeser Hoglander - Horvat - Garland Pearson - Dickinson - Motte Gusev - Anisimov - Podkolzin Hughes - Myers Ekman-Larsson - Montour Rathbone - Hamonic Demko Halak Extra: Juolevi, Boyd, Highmore Call me crazy but I do feel like seeing an all-Russian line!! Now, Let's Goooooooooooooo!!!
  20. Just $900k for a proven offensive D-man??? And JB couldn't outbid with an extra $500k?? Oh right.. We already got Hughes and Rathbone on the left side...
  21. Let's hope so!! We've been waiting for a punching bag for a long long time in the division!!
