  1. sweet to hear and he wants to be here which means lots!!!!
  2. Plans are simple,send McCann down next year to become better and get a younger player that has a two way game that can play.We have a solid Center 5 some ,now we need better D which is coming along, and last better forwards which free agency is always more full of.Plan is working just not coming together yet which will take a couple more years and we will see what we have!
  3. Grannlund is a good two way guy and will be helping this team more then HS could have.Time will tell but so far we win this trade and next year will prove that!
  4. From what I have seen he does have decent speed,has a good stick,could be a bit more physical and looks out of position at times, other then that will take him time but will be a great d man in the future and is worth keeping on the big club!
  5. so far havn't heard anything negative at all about him but ice size might take time to get used to!
  6. I do not see him going to the AHL for long if he does,only to get used to the ice size and how we want him to play so he will be ready when he steps in the lineup!
  7. Moving forward we have many young players and time to let them play as I see Gaunce playing for us next year!Additions will be made at the draft and off season,but I don't see us making anything to big,or the other way and owners see he makes no money and gets JB to go after a type of player like a Staal and then trading a young C for druoin or other winger so we then have three good lines and a 4th that will work hard!
  8. I hope gaunce can put it all together and make the team next year!
  9. always takes players 10 plus games to get used to different leagues,so time will tell but so far he looks capable of playing long minutes!
  10. yes agreed but with his size if he comes this summer works out right he will be an asset that will make the team next year!All depends how serious he is about making and playing in the NHL!
  11. exactly that "who knows" with hunter as Granlund we know is playing for us now!We took a step forward for now,Calgary might next year with this deal but for now we are ahead!
  12. I just do not think Benning has really done anything so bad.hunter would be on the team if they thought he should be there or proved he should.AHL is not the NHL and Hunter was given a shot to make the team and he didn't and probably wouldn't have made this team next year.We got a player that in the minors had stats the same if not a bit better and has made the NHL which in my books makes this trade so far better for us.Changes had to happen and we all knew this,but if trades are not what people like I can only say thats life not all is what we want!
  13. That I highly doubt.JB is cleaning up what MG did to this team and making us younger.He drafted us players that are playing in the NHL unlike MG!I just think a couple moves were questionable but altogether he has done a great job and is doing what he said he would!
  14. depends on his offseason if he makes it to Utica or not
  15. Nice to see as Lou is a great goaltender and will end up near the top!
  16. why has my post count gone from 2500 to 1100????

      well was around the time the site was updated and I lost 1400 to 1500 posts and just want to know why!!!

  17. Jake should play for team canada and play well.Doing so will boost his confidence and then be reinserted into the lineup and show why he should stay,other wise he will be sent down,but given one more shot before that!
  18. well looking that onlu three were interested means not very relevant!I saw when you started this and even then thought to myself Why??
  19. I just want to know why you start so many posts that are not very relavant???
  20. I liked all the picks so far that we have,just hope we manage them right to get the most out of our young guns!!
  21. Get rid of Friesen who will be an AHL lifer and replace with vey and that should be our team,only other change would be Horvat and Sutter which will come mid season!
  22. I think Boeser will stay down a bit longer unless way more trades are done and by the sounds of it people here on the boards hate when anyone is trade for anything less then 3 1st's LOL!
  23. I think if Jake makes the team Benning will know prior to start of the season and we would trade one/two players and might get a D upgrade!I just can't see him making the first line,3rd/2nd at best which would give us three great lines and a 4th thats hard to play against!
  24. Hope he gets on a better team and in three to four years comes up!Good pick by us!
  25. I think our forwards depending onSven abd Sutter,but if they play as expected we should be a better team at forward then last year!
