  1. If Hughes can outplay Stecher and Pouliot in preseason, the club will have no choice but let him stick around! One thing that works in his favour is that he's a true offensive D-man and we've been lacking a PP QB for so long!!
  2. So... he could be challenging Leipsic for a spot??
  3. OK... please don't let me down by declaring Hughes is gonna make the team and it doesn't happen!
  4. How did Hughes perform tonight??? Looks NHL ready?
  5. Any chance at all we can see an all Swedish line with Dahlen - Pettersson - Eriksson?? Looks pretty good to me!
  6. Guys... we have the coyotes to thank here.... they picked an unknown non-top10 kid instead of Zadina so Hughes could fall on our lap...
  7. Anyone got post-game rating of Dahlen and Lind's play tonight? Really curious to know which one is more NHL ready!!
  8. I've really liked the way Jussi fit in with the team!! Can't do wrong to sign a proven veteran for just $1M. To me, he offers more intangibles than Vanek... can play either wing and centre, grear at faceoffs and shootouts... he didn't seem that slow at all... always in the position to score goals!
  9. As it stands now before offseason moves, I see this as the forward depth chart: Baer Bo Boes Eriksson Sutter Gagner Leipsic Pettersson Granlund Gaunce Gaudette Virtanen Extras: Archie, Goldobin Goldobin is expendable as he just can't keep up with the 2-way play, often giving up the puck in defensive zone... We should only keep one of Baer and Granlund... Whoever costs less to re-sign? FA's to consider signing: Neal and Maroon... no need to blow $10M on a Tavares as our young core will take us to the next level!
  10. I think Gaudette should be given the 4C spot next season. I also see the team trading Baertschi and Granlund to clear space for one impact free agent forward signing and Elias Pettersson. We definitely should hold on to Leipsic and Archibald as they offer a lot of intangibles.
  11. You guys think Dahlen and/or Juolevi will be ready for NHL next season?? Would be awesome if he will coz we only have 23% of landing top 3 spots, no chance for #4-5.. and whoever we'll pick at #7-9 probably won't make impact for at least 2-3 years....
  12. This is truly an exciting time to build a great young team with Gaudette and Pettersson with Sedins giving way.
  13. About time to use #7 for someone who's expected to be an impact player since..... our very own Brendan Morrison!!
  14. Watch for his signing announcement tomorrow!! Can't wait to see him play the next few games with us!
  15. Can Motte make Dowd redundant?? But I really like Dowd's size and grit.
  16. Well... hopefully he's not Brandon Reid 2.0.... I can vaguely remember this town was so excited for that little guy when he was flying all over the ice!
  17. Sorry to disagree but open spots are already scarce for NHL ready forwards... gotta have 2 extra forwards to help rest guys or rotate the squad. Don't really care if Biega or Pedan gets claimed....
  18. Virtanen to take Dorsett's spot!!!
  19. You know... it ain't hard to speed up your weight gain to 180 in 2 weeks... do what I do best - KFC and donuts every single day!!
  20. What?? We didn't expect Elias to play next season with Dahlen?? So... no fast track to rebuild??
  21. Me too!! My boy Jake is gonna prove doubters wrong! I see him on the 3rd line with Sutter and Granlund, proving speed and grit!
  22. But I'm pretty sure he can jerk it off!!
  23. But in reality... we are super needy though.... no?? I'm pretty sure Ownership is desperate to fill the seats.... getting rid of WD would be the first task this offseason!
  24. I knew it... he's still not ready to commit obviously!! Don't get why ppl just pencil him into next season's line up! Or any seasons.... I feel that Dahlen will sign with us first!
