lol booth where are u lol

Miller - Pettersson - Boeser

Baerstchi - Horvat - Pearson

Leivo - Gaudette - Virtanen

Roussel - Beagle - Motte

We're getting there boys and girls.

forwards look decent but think we should give goldobin  svens spot and trade him for a d  also tanev and sutter  need to be traded for anything we can get 

in my opinion this team isn't getting anywhere in the playoffs if they do make it. We need a cup contender not a borderline playoff team. If that means making some trades then lets do that

I think it also depends on what the teams in front of them do. 

If they keep winning, then we’re not really making up ground. Vegas hasn’t played well, though, and Edmonton is well, Edmonton. I get the sense that it kind of feels like false hope. Is this team as bad as it is this season? Probably not. I think if they came back with the same roster, under Bruce, they’re a much better team. Only question is, how can the team fit all of the current players who’s contracts are expiring soon (Miler, Bo, Brock specifically). 

Yes.  Yes he does.

Yes. Need to stop making Pete Davidson a thing. 

He is pale and gangly and he tries to be unabashedly normal as much as possible and not act like a celebrity or rich famous guy.

I don't get it.. maybe he is just packing or is that great in the bedroom... 

Also Arian Grande like most celebrities very overrated looks wise she is tiny and cakes on too much makeup.

Looks like a 12 year old trying too hard to look and act all grown up.

isn't that mrs davidson's little boy?

Brock is certainly a charismatic(something Hogtown is SORELYYYY lacking) sniping winger; but I would strongly consider:

Brock & Bowey

Hogtown Humus: Kerfoot, Dermott. 2022 1st r pick(top-5 protection; switch to 2023 1st if they stumble into abyss)

BB's snail-like pace is often a glaring deficiency.

take away the 1st top 5 protection and maybe.

Leafs don't have much we would realistically want.  Boeser trade would need either a more physical top 6 coming back, or a solid defensive RHD.  Leafs have neither.

So hard not to appreciate what Vegas did, looking at Seattle. 
 

But realistically, it will be hard not to have a few “stars” develop out of who they have chosen given the amount of ice time and top line minutes they will receive in Seattle, one would think. 

GM's learned from the mistakes of getting burned by Vegas. 

The last expansion team hooked Seattle up after being nudged by the nhl to make Vegas work.   Seattle didn't get that luxury, Phoenix took everything this time.   And both Phoenix and Seattle are probably going for Bedard

Couple years down the line most likely.  Few more hard bumps and maybe a hip or leg injury on a slighter build like himself and I could see him become really injury prone and slower.   

It's going to be a long decade for the Sharks. Jones, Karlsson, Vlasic, and Evander Kane contracts are going to age POORLY. Jones contract is already ageing badly. Burns contract could go either way. 

I suspect Karlsson will be a compliancy buyout when that next happens. 

Thank god I'm not a Sharks fan - LOL.

wonder if they could still turn it around, might have a couple good years left?  

its like some sort of proportional law, the people least effected have the stupidest and angriest things to say. 

I never I thought about it like that.  I think you opened my eyes to a new way of thinking, jeez man.

@Robert Long That's one of the best comments I've seen in the past 48 hours.  I wish I could give hundreds of upvotes.  Gave you the Sedinery upvote for doing some 'social Sedinery'.  Thanks for your support from a black hockey fan.

@Jimmy McGill ole ole ole OLE OLE OLE  ole ole

FTR, the Maple Flea 2020 1st IS top-10 protected(shifts to 2021). Did it go to Rags in the Brady Skjei deal?

I’m hearing we are soon to replace Green with Babcock.  

How’s that for a beauty?

OK since we're doing this, how about Aquilini is taking over as GM? I bet if I put that on HFBoards it would trend. 

Listening to the rumours, and Aquilini is already the GM!  

well we all know every team needs to be represented

and the older players on the team do not warrant consideration

so we are left with high level rookies

says as much about our lack of elite veteran talent

but at least we have quality youngsters

bodes well for the future

Hoglander next all star game, and the Pods the year after.  That’s five in a row 

alf

hoglander has to beat out joulevi though

we have a competition for next season

No

Free booze at Alf's house!

It's never too late, and never too early!

If she switches to the Morning show on 650 and replaces Rick, I'm ok with that. 

She does not have a face for radio.

They call it Jay and Dan. But it's more like Jay and Hedger's Legs. 

I dont think anyone's is arguing Hutty isn't a legit 5/6 d - just not worth 4.3 mil 

He wasn't getting 4 million via arbitration.

We also need a few D that can get a decent(heavy) point shot on goal. Feels like forever we've been needing that.

@Tre Mac brilliant  and yes we do. We cannot disappoint my wife or Deb on this one. I'm going to have a large supply of handkerchiefs for her on this one. She took the trade pretty hard. 

Does Burr fo full-Odjick & try to fight the team?

Great guy..will feel pretty weird for him lining up as a visitor.

sorry..*go* not fo

people freaking out over people freaking out.

I guess if you believed that you'd turn into a firefighter chick magnet with 20 year old models hanging off you if you used their razors, this commercial might come as a shock. 

I just expect a clean shave that doesn't turn my neck into flank steak.

Pretty sure VC works for the NHL transaction department.

VC is a treasure.

The GM's ask VC to okay their deals. HE plans Chuck Norris' training sched...

yes, ain’t she got no learnin? 

goldobin and pouliot would be great, but who wants them?

Is Tanev confirmed to be injured? I thought he returned to the game? Sutter being hurts def sucks. Not sure we'd have parted with Baer anyway considering how weak we are on the wing.

It's the dream, but like trading Edler and re-signing him, probably not realistic.

Reading your status made me scream into a pillow.

Great city. I was there 4 years ago. Crazy about their Longhorns

@Twilight Sparkle was walking there last night 

people here seem super laid back and very nice. Its like if Snoop Dog ran AB 

I went to Dallas once, man is that city a virtual ghost town at dusk (REALLY creepy when you think about it, not a single soul at night, not even any panhandlers).  No Starbucks (open or closed lol) downtown either.  NOBODY lives downtown (*ALL* business it seems other than the odd eating establishments that are closed at dusk as well - guess they only employ vampires....).

One other REALLY crazy thing.  I went to that stretch of road where JFK got shot.  They've got spots on the road marked off - but it is STILL a very busy road.  Yet you get dumb people going to the middle of the road to take selfies!  No kidding, it would be like walking & stopping in the middle of Marine Drive to take pictures!

Money buys a lot of good will. 

@Shift-4 yes and that's my go-to example for why it's a bad idea to give the analytics crew the final decision.

a well constructed system of play

suitable for the player talent on a team

is not assessed or addressed by analytics

the right system for the cast of players

helped them to shine and achieve better their potential

it is a bit of an art, and less a science, to be able to see

what best works for the group of players assembled as your team

analytics is more a reporting of performance

it does not assist in increasing or enhancing performance

and it not really a predictive tool

unless the same circumstances are present for the same player being assessed moving forward

There's probably a good reason people keep linking Karlsson to Tampa Bay. They're the team in the league that is most equipped to get Karlsson without ruining their prospect pool or making their current team less competitive.

There is literally nothing that we could reasonably offer.

I see Tampa before Edmonton.

Sorry for this but how do I status update. Every time I click "what's on my mind?" It goes to my profile. Thanks for the help

hey SB - when you go to your profile, there should be a text box at the top that says 'write a public message...." where you can type in your update 

I appreciate the help. This is what I am looking at.... Am I blind?

If they don't extend JB, as a fan of 35+ years I am done with this team until Aquaman sells it. He was brought into a mess, to rebuild a mess, had no prospect pool and was handcuffed the first few years by having to try and make the playoffs and rebuild, you can't and re builds take time. He's in year 3 of the real changes, everyone can see he's done a magnificient job drafting and re-stocking, and his bad moves have not handcuffed the team in any manner. He has a built a pipeline the strongest I have ever seen (at least in potential) in all my years as a fan, and should get the opportunity to finish the job and see this team come to fruition. if Aquaman is simply looking at points he clealry is not a good businessman because JB is setting this team up for a decade or more of runs at the cup. #re-signjb

@BoeserSnipe ahh don't do that. Just curse Aquilini every time Boeser or Gaudette scores. 

If jb isn't re-signed we riot

well, good that its all coming out and hopefully its all a future deterrent. 

one of my favourite actor, kevin spacey has been accused of sexual misconduct with a young boy. so many sick people out there.  

ZZ, only if there's injuries now. But I'd love to see him as first call up. Just like Stetcher last year. 

Goldy doesn't come as a shock. This was the most competitive camp in a while, and there will be more cuts that frustrate people I'm sure.

It's best for Goldobin to go to Utica and get better.
