  1. Have to wonder how Loui feels about this. It's clear the team doesn't want him and is trying to move on from him but they just can't.
  2. Can anyone help out the Holtby's? Braden is currently stuck at the border due to a tortois export permit issue:
  3. It can also be a tough living playing in the ECHL or lower. I had some coworkers who were former pros and they were just scraping by in lower leagues (ie. SPHL) and it took them awhile to give up their dream of hockey in the big leagues. Especially with the high risk of injury and time commitment, playing minor hockey professionally is just not for everybody.
  4. He's got one of the most lethal shots in the NHL. Would it be nice to sign him but I don't see how we can afford him without a trade to move out some of the bad contracts.
  5. LE needs to somehow develop an allergy to his equipment.
  6. This is exactly like the Ehrhoff trade back in 2010. Sharks were cap strapped at the time and we got a smooth skating, offensive top 4 dman at a discount.
  7. It's the price we're paying with those anchor contracts of LE, Sutter, Beagle, Ferland, Roussel, etc..
  8. The Flames could offer term that Vancouver couldn't. Makes sense given all the uncertainty these days.
  9. Tanev is a warrior, but I shudder to think what he'd be like at 34 or 35 years old. He's already fought through a ton of injuries. If he really wanted that term, the Flames can have him.
  10. Agreed. OEL (or his agent) set the timeline, nobody else did. A deal can still happen
  11. Meh, not a big deal imo. It's not like we had a huge hole at LD and nobody knew OEL was going to be available coming into the offseason anyways.
  12. This is now his 4th team in the last 3 years. Anaheim (who have no RD other than Manson) gave him up for a 5th rounder. Good for the guy to secure a $4M contract though.
  13. Defensemen who are that big and can skate that well dominate today's NHL. Just look at Tampa (Hedman, Sergachev). Great pick.
  14. He had a stellar junior career, was a stud at WJC and was a top 10 pick. He looked like the next great Canadian dman. He really did fall off and I'm not entirely sure what happened.
  15. Sweet, Loui Erikson for Jack Eichel. I think Buffalo is going to have to add though. Get it done JB.
