  1. Great offensively. Defensively? eh, not remotely as good. Hughes has a the legitimate excuse as he's young & still learning. Rathbone is a rookie. There's a reason why Schmidt had all those tough defensive assignments even though he's primarily a solid two-way defenseman vs shutdown specialist.
  2. Even better. Hire his wife on put her on the Canucks payroll.
  3. Dead Wings have 11 picks in this years draft. 5 of them also in the first three rounds (where two of the 5 are first round picks).
  4. Yeah I was only referring to the civil case. It's still a risk I don't think another team would want.
  5. Just hire a Russian "companion" to buddy with Podz. Zero cap/asset ramifications.
  6. Nobody will touch Jake with a ten foot pole with that lawsuit hanging in the air.
  7. Slick Willy doesn't discriminate on age. He'll make moves on anything that has a pulse..
  8. This isn't the season to be doing much because of that. No big deal. Our core are years away from turning 30. Wait a season when the deadweight contracts expire.
  9. Milford had to deal with an era when there was no cap (and owners, however well intentioned, didn't have the deep pockets and.or the willingness to spend such money like our current owners).
  10. Was the Laffs GM when they finally made the playoffs after like a decade of golfing early I think.
  11. Burke's main issue was his inability to draft or trade for a goalie. The only Cup he won as a GM.....he inherited that legit starting goalie from previous managenemt. Even Dave Nonis was able to get a goalie (Luongo).
  12. Gillis was GM for six years (granted the one Torts year felt like 10 years lol). edit: how the **** did Kevin Connauton manage 320 games at the NHL level or better yet, why the **** did Gillis trade that prospect (then) for Roy (actually even trade for that stiff)?
  13. Yotes can't spend money (there's a reason why they took on those LTIR contracts.......to hit the cap floor without paying for those salaries [insurance covers that] & the reason why Ferland has negative value as his contract isn't insured).
  14. He's probably ready for 3rd pairing duty but shouldn't be anywhere near the top four. At least not without a legit #1 carrying that pairing.
  15. No, you gotta pump the tires of guys that we don't want. Loui E, the king of the empty net goals to 'ice the victory' for the Kraken in close games!
  16. Irony is, Daigneault ended up playing just under 900 NHL games in his career (winning one Cup as a player). Not a great player but had a failry decent NHL career. Maybe we should draft more guys on crutches.
  17. I"m surprised I never saw this old Downfall parody before:
