    I really want Sbisa to be able to show all the haters a ring :lol:

      I dunno, I'm really happy for Luca. He took so much unwarranted crap when he was here I'm just really glad he's experiencing a hell of a run.

      If Vegas wins the Cup, the only consolation I'll have is for the players who managed to pull it off, especially Sbisa.

      Does that mean he comes over to play, or could his first year of ELC be played in Europe?

      @Alflives He's coming over my friend :)

      Assuming he makes the team of course. Odds are he does IMO.

       

      Pettersson - Horvat - Boeser

      Baertschi - Sutter - Virtanen

       

      It's going to be a lot of fun to watch the Canucks next season.

      Great players for Raymond/Ballard and a 1st.....

  4. I guess Marchand is going to have to whip it out and do something super nasty before the league will do anything. Licking other players is disgusting.

      I don't know what's nastier: the idea of being licked by Marchand, or the idea of licking another person's sweaty face.

      Why would Arizona want to swap picks?

      depends on what other assets they could get from us and which D they have their eye on. We do have a bit of a F glut in the 6-9 range, just don't know if that would be enough to jump up 2 spots. 

  6. Don't be mad, be happy Dahlin won't be in orange and blue. 

  7. Benning draft strategy - BPA. 

     

    "“It has been my experience that if you go for position, you make mistakes,” said Benning. “You want to take the best available when you pick and that will be our strategy. Positional needs? We can find other ways to find those type of players.”

      I think he might be alluding to missing out on Pastrnak more than OJ/Tkachuk. Jim may have been thinking more about C depth and picked McCann by mistake vs the more skilled winger, and he had already selected a RW with Jake. 

       

      Anyway interesting to see the BPA statement flat out, no grey area there moving forward.

      Always do BPA.. trade for what you need later.

    4. Jaku

      Jaku

      Good strategy. I think it makes the most sense. If the Canucks do land the 2nd or 3rd overall pick I think it would be silly to pass on Svechnikov or Zadina to pick a Dman. 

  8. Toronto HF boards desperate for a trade for better D....

      "fire up the rumour mill, boys!"

      Oh and if they would want to move Gardiner I'd probably be down to buy low.

      Remember the good ol' days when we had the Hoff?  Jake's pretty much the same kind of asset already (50 point D-man, and those don't grow on trees but with the right sheltering he could flourish)

       

    4. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      Gardiner was really flashy in the offensive side but absolutely horrid in the defensive zone. He had so many giveaways in a crucial playoff game, YUCK.

  9. I think we should trade for Kesler if ANA gets bumped out in the 1st round

      They spent most of their day travelling on Saturday. MSP airport was closed due to the blizzard.  They were re-routed to Duluth and were stationed there for a while before they elected to return to Winnipeg for the night.  They only got in just after 10am on Sunday.

      I would buy some but not for more than $50. $425?! Maybe if they were autographed.

      i just checked - apparently they sold 

  15. I like the way the Sedins are ending things, two games for us  here at home, one on the road for them just with the team. Seems perfect for them.

      I like it too....we didn't have to wait to get the celebration started.  Home, to revel in their magnificence, then off on the road to seal the deal.

       

      I have the great pleasure of seeing BOTH of these final games and it's such a treat to be able to acknowledge them in person.  To be part of the roar that sends them off to a well deserved family life....

      thats great Deb :)  I had no idea when I got the tickets for last night that it would be special, I was just looking for a couple of cheapies for one more game ($31 bucks each if you can believe it two weeks ago).

       

      For two guys that actually want to play it out hard and try to win it just seems right to me, and also that they get to enjoy it for themselves for the last one. For all the undeserved crap they've taken I guess I like to see them get a little something too.

      Was awesome watching the entire Vegas Golden Knights team stay out and pay respect to Henrik and Daniel after the game.

      sedins-shake.gif?w=587&h=305

  16. Have to respect people going out on their own terms. Now that the shock is over this feels right. 

    1. I.Am.Ironman

      I.Am.Ironman

      Daniel has more in him I think but Henrik looks tired. Watching the press conference Daniel actually looks a yew years younger than Henrik. Daniel is going out on a 20+ goal season! They don't seem the type to pull a Mike Fisher but I wouldn't be opposed if the stars aligned.

  17. I'm sad and excited at the same time. Thank you Danny and Hank.

      If we have guys that are at all comfortable with even losing one friggin’ puck battle, GET RID IF THEIR LOSER ARSES.  These guys are supposed to be the best of the best, and hyper competitive.  They should want to win at everything they do.  Hell, look at the way Tanev wins the most fragile player award every year.  :lol:

      well i cannot recall who i had this debate with

      i was told by someone that guddy would play more games then tanev this season

      i said no

      but was assured that he'd have more games played then tanev before tanev returned from his injury

      all i can say about gud is that since he has joined this team he is unable to play even 1/2 the games

      that concerned me in his resigning discussions

      and unfortunately my fears have been realized again this season

      i guess there is always next year for gud to try again to stay healthy
