  1. & JB ran away with another draft! :^)
  2. Fans can see clearly now(2020),

    Buildin' pain is gone

    We can see all obstacles in our way

    Gone are the HFtrolls, all ragin' blind

    Gonna' be a bright, towels-of-white, Stanley Cup day

      Our man Pettersson's an Al-All Star

      And our D Quinn could be on the way,

      Bo Brock and J.T. are a solid core,

      Things lookin' bright, bright, with Marky saving the day

  3. Holy Jumpin' eh? I'll save the big speech for Jan 1st 2030, after we win it all 7 times :^)
  4. Don't do twitter, but have been on board since day 1. Called them for 97 pts(making PO's). They might even exceed this by a smidge. It's lookin' good, from Jan 1st pov
  5. Yeah, would count that as most unlikely too. Bet it's a higher % chance OTT sends a beautiful(youth & picks) pkg to Flamers, & creates a terrible-tandem of both Tkachuks in the nation's capital. Imagine the Snarks pick IS a top-7 OA. Then add Batherson & another young piece(maybe Docker?). Holy tempting for Flamers.
  6. Maybe Jimbo's finally getting smart/cagey enough to use media as a diversion(not implying he wasn't..perhaps he's always been too damned honest?!) So, say you want some D-depth. Make it incidental within deals, using lackey media to keep the dogs off the scent? Pretending you're targeting something diff. ***************There's a bigger question, for which I've sought opinions***************** Is JB willing to part with some excellent prospect/youth, in order to send out costly, ineffective contracts(by attaching both)? Either in-season, or at the draft, I strongly feel this is a (somewhat sh*tty) option they'll HAVE to entertain, in order to re-sign all our key components.
  7. Always seems like the heavier, D-oriented teams are better suited to a 2nd half surge. Also ones with stellar goaltending. So I almost completely agree w/ your evaluation. We're getting real close to being a balanced, top-level beast, that'll be very hard to knock out. Just too much % of cap wasted on some mediocre depth/penalties.
  8. Woo-Hoo, it's the Comets pullin' through! Only the 2nd time they've got twenty W's before the New Yr.. Well done Comets!
  9. But if you Love the team, ez to keep a clear conscience, eh?
  10. You want FOR THE DECADE, GREATEST!!!(stories?)..I hate lists..but this little 2015 Broongoon draft tidbit, sure warms my heart! Absolutely EPIC!
  11. Nice work. I'd give you a tree & a beer(if TPTB allowed extravagance) for spontaneous bartering. edit: btw, was watching that yesterday..OUCH! I knew that would be a bad hit for the Pens lineup..this one really hurts 'em
  12. Happy New Yr from the land of the Risin' Sun

     

    It's a 2020 vison people, & feelin' like one of the first to enjoy

     

    Would love a yr of peace, harmony & (for Van of course), Lord Stanley. Best of luck to all U CDC'ers

  13. At the end of the day, OV prob has it right. Best for all our guys to rest up, twiddlin' thumbs at home in the EZchair.
  14. That's what I'd like to hear(more & more). They've ignored our talent-stash too often.
  15. Pretty much this. 2.5 yrs on, & all the contractual flotsam/jetsam will be tossed. At that pt, hopefully our young, key core will all accept 10-20% below market. They seem to be building a nice tight crew.
  16. Well, here's an example deal: Van: Baertschi, Sutter, (prospect: Lind or Jet Woo) Det: Trevor Daley, Erne or Perlini **If necc, would consider we add a 2020 2nd & they give us a 2020 3rd** The young add would be shipped to Utica(Perlini or Erne)..more just balancing contracts. Next season this would importantly drop about 7.7 million of cap from our roster. Daley contract expires at this season's end. Would a team like the Wings spend 7,700,000$ next season on two iffy fwds, to add another piece to their early-stage rebuild? It's the obvious question here. Might we have to additionally retain 1-1.5 mill on 1 of the contracts? It's another possible tweak/variable, that would expire in spring 2021. They have about 21,000,000 $ coming off the books in a few months, expiring UFA deals. Maybe they'd consider such a pitch.
  17. Watch'em send Makar. It'll help them(exposure/sensation) justifying gifting him the Calder, if it's a dogfight with our guy.
  18. As a general comment..these days are all colour comm's yappin' too much during play? It's unlikely to find their tidbits more interesting than what's actually goin on...
  19. Actually, glad you bumped this! I'll confess now..it was a reverse-jinx thread(worked lika' gem:^)!!!
  20. HolyGawd..that w*nch squawking constantly as pbp man is havin' a Ball? Sounds like a ****ing 20 min infomercial selling tupperware!
  21. Whoa.. 40 gp & 46 pts! Beauty. 2nd half with a neg split would put them within the 100 pt-range. Boys are rollin'!
  22. ahh gosh..gotta leave soon. Have to go pound rice(at the outlaws' abode), to make rice cakes, for NY's festivities/tradition. Missus' fam are farmers, so this stuff is important. Hopefully our boys pound on the Flamers, like I do the mochi-rice!(not a sentence you'll see every day!:^) GCG!
  23. That's a great RANT..strange, feel I've heard this tune somewheres? :^) edit: Btw, Torts gestures/mood represents my feelings on in-game gambling, in the lackey, wh*ring #riggeddeckleague. If I were filthy rich, Torts..would prob pay yer coming fine. You go bro!lol
  24. Carey Price has allowed TEN goals in less than 26 hrs(about 50 shots)!

     

    Y'get 15,000,000 $macker$! for that kinda'handiwork! Not bad eh?

     

    Whole fanbase should give Markstrom a backbreaking, hearty(collective) HUG!

     

    Pls sign 5x5 buddy.
