  1. we haven't heard from terrible.dee yet.....
  2. what makes you think he's not going to have a ceiling like Nylander? His numbers so far are nearly identical at the same age, except Pettersson has 2-3 inches Nylander and has played against better competition at a younger age. Not sure what you're complaining about here.
  3. EP has Nylander upside. Hopefully he won't jump put of the way of pucks too ;-)

  4. If Kris Russel is getting $4 mil per year now, how can Tanev not be worth a 1st rounder?

      @StealthNuck i know. I'm just glad we're not paying Russel that :lol: Its in Sbisa territory.

  5. The expansion process was a lot like a trip to Vegas, exciting at first, goes on too long, more expensive than you planned and you feel a little sick and ready leave by the end.

      Plus what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas.

      I'm a little bummed about losing Sbisa, i think he really got a lot of unjustified abuse from a lot of people here.

      Yeah, he was CDC's whipping boy for a couple of years. He had Megna and Erikkson to take the heat off him last season.

  6. So now that expansion is done can all the other teams being trading with each other again?

      @48MPHSlapShotMaybe it was a roster freeze, not a trade freeze?  It would make sense.  Exchanging draft picks wouldn't impact the expansion draft at all as that only involves players.

      @48MPHSlapShot Jets and Jackets did not make a trade with each other - they each made a trade with Vegas.  Trades with or through Vegas are allowed during the freeze.  

  7. If Button is right about Skille then we'd better pick Makar

      Button would be a genius/oracle. But now he just looks silly. 

  8. as long as Loui isn't on a checking line like Willie had him doing.
  9.  

    Bye Luca, I actually liked you. Good luck in Vegas.

      @Alflives i dunno... now 1040 is saying it is Sbisa. 

       

      If it is Sbisa leaving I hope Jim takes a good run at Alzner, he'd be a good partner for Stecher or Guddy.

      @RRypien37 i know... i carry shame now... 

  10. its also that when Loui was with Richards in Dallas it was a pretty special line. Not saying Bo is ready to fill those shoes, but Bo can be a lot more physical than Henrik and maybe that style will bring back some of that magic Loui had going in Dallas. Its a long shot yah, but really what other options do we have for next year? I like Sutter but he's not much of a playmaker.
  11. If he's paired with Bo he will do a lot better imo. Sutter is a horrible choice and the Sedin's are just too slow for that combo to work.
  12. its a pretty big departure from the norm thats for sure.
  13. Me+Crepe on Seymour and Pender has some awesome Chinese crepes.... still drooling over one I has this morning.

      I had the bbq rib one and some of my wife's peking duck version, both were damn good. Cheap too. 

  14. No big name D moved pre-expansion... makes a Dallas deal for Tanev even more likely imo.

      thats true joe, but we can pick up a solid veteran D in free agency to help with that. If Dallas wants Tanev as much as rumoured then the Canucks being able to pick 3rd and 5th this year is a huge step in the rebuild, much more than keeping Tanev and finishing say 25th instead of 28th in the standings.

      If Tanev gets us #3 JB will do that.  I'm wondering if there are other teams bidding for Tanev's service?  At what point does is the return not enough?  Would we take 8 from Buffalo?

    4. JM_

      there could be @Alflives but Dallas needs him the most. 

  15. no surprise, Gaunce won't be protected

      Benning should have offered up the CBJ 2nb in exchange for Vegas taking Megna.

  16. More like High Plains Drifter meets Father of the Bride but with a lot more killing.
  17. actually in this movie he's a gristly aging dude searching for some kind of meaning..... you might like it its really good, its done in the style of a 70s western and there's almost no "superhero stuff" in terms of big splashy special effects, etc., it just a really good story. Well worth the rental.
  18. Apocalypse Now is such a crazy version of that, particularly when you know that Martin Sheen was having an actual heart attack in some scenes. Just re-watched Logan, best "superhero" movie ever imo. 10/10
  19. its nice to have real hockey news again vs. arguing about politics :lol:

  20. anxiety sucks. I had no idea until our daughter started experiencing it, how hard it is to work through. Sometimes she even starts getting anxious about knowing she's going to get anxious about something, and that anticipation seems worse than the actual event.
  21. sorry to hear that. My daughter has the same thing, and I'm sure you've heard all the techniques, etc. before, but what helps her a lot is actually going early to the airport a couple of hours earlier than she has to, then having something to eat, shopping, etc. I think it has something to do with not being rushed through the process that helps her.

    ANA should have traded him to us... I still think they beat NSH if they had Miller.
