  1. Can not remember a guy with so many prime scoring chances and no finish, his shooting % is awful, especially for an offensive player. Just looked at his stats he's shooting at 7% this season, last season he shot at 16%! Smallish sample size in games as he only played 38 games last season but still pretty drastic.

    he turns 20 in november, he was 2 months shy of being eligible in the 2016 draft. So technically he was an older draft eligible player?

    You are correct, I was wrong, I heard what I wrote in an interview, but just looking, realized the cut off is September 15 for NHL draft eligible players. Still though, the hype is real. ::D

  3. Tank on purpose/rebuilding from scratch is media and fan BS, so many people are use to having a contender here they think making the playoffs is a waste unless you are rolling in with the prez trophy. People talk about the west as if it's impossible to penetrate yet the Wild took the Hawks to the brink last season in the 2nd round. Favorites of course not, but sh#t happens, injuries, upsets, hot streaks, you don't waste seasons in the bottom the league because you think a couple picks are going to guarantee you a cup because they don't you win by making it to the dance as many times as possible.

  4. Edler has always been inconsistent, one week he'll look good then he's a deer in the headlight for 3 weeks, at 28 years old it's hard to believe that is going to change much. He's probably already told Linden he's not waiving his NTC, last year Murph talked to him about it and Elder's quote was something along the lines of "You don't just sign a 5 year NTC contract just to waive it the first year."

  5. I think he gets traded, and it's the best move for the team if he does. People need to stop holding on here, if they don't bring in some younger guys they'll be bottom feeders for a long time. Even without Kesler they still have a chance at grabbing some wildcards over the next couple years before youth movement starts to kick in and if not missing the playoffs for a season or two isn't the worse thing that could happen anyway.

  6. Like the whole issue with Lui and schneider I think it goes way back to Lui's contract offer. Why would MG contradict himself regarding his feeling on these long contracts when he shot down the one the twin's agent put forward that had them in at 4.5mil cap hit over 10 years I believe, only to okay a even longer contract a few months later to a older player that plays goal. Which you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know is a way more risky position to have that kind of term and money locked in on, you would think a player agent of his caliber would know this.

  7. "Sedins can't take a paycut"

    Then they are going to be gone. They dropped off production last year and that has continued this year. Everyone keeps talking about everyone else, but the problem is really simple.

    Henrik and Daniel Sedin can no longer get it done. If Gillis could move Luongo, he can move the Twins. He should start shopping them now so he can move up in the draft.

    Take a look at all the top point players stats, every single one on this team has drastically dropped off this season.
