  1. NHL Fighting Major Leaders for the 2017-2018 regular season - hockeyfights.com Erik Gudbranson - hockeyfights.com I realize fighting is in decline but Guddy really is not a full time tough guy. Over the last five seasons he has 12 majors total, I don't think that is active enough to be a deterrent to other team. If you judge him on playing ability only I see him as a #5 D. If his trade value is higher than a #5 I say trade him. It depends on the ask for his new contract I guess...firmly planted in the sitting on the fence faction...
  2. An example of being patient with a big forward like Jake being worthwhile :Anders Lee - Eliteprospects.com
  3. The Hockey News I think his knee trouble led to his release but that's speculation on my part.
  4. If Etem had not developed knee trouble I think the Canucks would have tried to keep him as as a project/bottom six fill in winger.
  5. If they were really tanking neither Vanek or Gagner would not have been signed. All the younger skilled players would have been allowed to take those spots with good training camps. Keeping 4 or 5 young players rotating in those spots and Utica would create fiercer competition for playing time and weed out veteran complacency. Sure they would make mistakes but these vets aren't getting it done anyway. Colombus kept loading up on big young decent speed players for 3 or 4 years before their run last year and just let competition sort out the roster eventually.
