  1. Best chance for another 1st is with very cap crunched teams - Pits, Edmonton, Washington, Tampa. One of Sutter or Tanev + a 2nd round pick should be enough to get another pick without the extras of Madden or Lockwood.
  2. capfriendly lists it as a "modified NTC, NMC" so wouldn't that give him the say in who's on his 15 team list? god, its hard to follow all the crappy decisions Edmonton has made.
  3. i think thats a good way to look at it. For me, Arya's story arc is one of the best for a female character that I can remember, maybe ever, for this kind of genre. We're all so spoiled with entertainment these days I think we're missing out a bit on just enjoying that a bit more.
  4. damn. thanks for the catch, for some reason I thought he was was a right side d. And I forgot about his NMC so yeah he would need protection, so hard pass on Russel. Did I get into your scotch last night?
  5. I dunno - he's got lots of history and family in AB. He might be fine with it. I prefer them getting the guys we don't want here but Russel would be a bottom 6 rhd upgrade so thats fine too and that Manning cap dump also fits the bill.
  6. that would be a great deal for both. Despite Sutter being criminally under-rated here and in our media, he would allow EDM to make some much needed line changes. And there isn't a free agent shut down C that even comes close to his ability at just over 2 mil per.
  7. should be job 1, and probably is. We need a defensive group where Luke Schenn isn't the one of the most exciting things. I like what he did but we need to aim a lot higher.
  8. Binnie's got 4 1/2 seasons in the AHL under his belt. I get that he's technically an NHL rookie but come on. The guys 25 and has been a pro for years.
  9. what, like multiple episodes of 1000s of dead guys wasn't quite enough Man the budget decisions on this show must have been something... do we spend $1 million more on dead dudes, or on dragon scenes?
  10. I'm starting to think he's just there to make major mistakes that leads to opportunities for others.
  11. its getting interesting, there are claims new and old now to the throne all over the place, and her fighting and Sansa hiding may play into it for sure. That could be the "truth" she was talking about facing. They need to give Arya a scene strutting through Winterfell to Stayin Alive by the bee gee's.
  12. I took it as she was nearly tapped out and her job nearly done. so kind of combined I guess. Luongo's tweet about her necklace was hilarious.
  13. Any word on who the new agent is? I wonder if this is a move to get an agent with more connections to help get a trade done?
  14. I think it was alluding to what happens to her later on. Nothing left.
  15. not sure how else it could have gone. The whole white walker dead army thing is a simple brute force attack, there wasn't any subtlety possible from that end. I guess they could have put a bit more mystery into laying the trap for the NK but I think thats a part where previous storylines, etc. kind of paints them into a corner. The only thing that had a chance of working was doing something that a brute force attack wouldn't notice, a smallish girl/young woman sneaking up on them.
  16. man a lot of salty in some of the reviews I liked it. These shows can get stifled by the weight of so many characters and story lines that have to be tied off, I think they did a great job of it tbh. Daenerys loses almost everything too to get the job done, that part hasn't been discussed much. Whats she left with? Also, why is Jon Snow so useless? guy seems to never know how to pick his spots. I get people weren't completely satisfied with the NK stuff, but its not Game of Night Kings. Yes it was an important story line but it wasn't the entire point of the show.
  17. not really, i mean she spent all that time learning how to be sneaky for a reason. Plus they were arrogant, they thought they'd won and were focused on Bran.
  18. I don't know if Baer is so much prone to them as he's been handed direct head shots...... but Zucker does seem to be a durable player. If you're talking about replacing Baer with Zucker thats one thing but I don't see how there's room for both on this team.
  19. thats my concern with Tryamkin..... what kind of player will we be getting back if he does come back? according to the regular KHL watchers on CDC he looks improved so maybe he can be an exception. Dunno.
  20. oh for sure, but its also just for next season, after that they have a fair bit more room. Thats why I think Marleau is the ideal target for us, just 1 year, can probably still pot 15 goals with middle-6 time or very sheltered top 6, maybe some 2nd unit PP time too. With Marleau gone and not re-signing Gardiner, thats 10 mil right there for Marner. Then they have 8 mil + whatever the cap goes up by for the rest of the team. So yeah they have to lose one of Kapanen or Johnsson, but if they can move Marleau I think they can squeeze it out to keep one of those guys. Jim and Dubas seem to have a good working relationship so I could see something getting done if the pro scouting is still viewing Marleau as useful. And who knows, maybe it can be a 3rd and not a 2nd as the asset thrown in to get it done. Hutty and a 3rd would be a great deal for Kapanen and taking Marleau.
  21. outside of 2017/18 tho he's pretty much Baertschi production-wise, and they're the same size and toughness level. Not sure its worth losing assets to get Zucker when the upgrade difference will be so small, if at all.
