  1. "Yar har fidlee dee dee, we are Krak heads and Krak hoes!"
  2. Zibanejad was on the shelf for about a month (which would certainly take him out of contention), but when he was in the lineup he was an absolute horse. He's a premier player in the league and will eventually wear the C for the Rangers - no questions asked. I took him around pick 80 in my pool this year, and immediately after the pick I told my buddies that I just got the steal of the entire draft.
  3. Why does Nashville do this? The Predators are going to be in cap hell with the flat cap, so after letting Mikael Granlund walk in free agency (and quite possibly Craig Smith too), Virtanen is a cheaper option that would slot very well into their top-6. He also adds more speed to a Nashville lineup that doesn't seem to be getting any quicker either. Why does Vancouver do this? If I remember correctly, the Canucks had Trenin very high on their draft list back in 2015. Nashville has been slow cooking him ever since, and he's on the cusp of becoming a very solid NHL'er who can play both centre and left wing. We wouldn't have to protect him in the expansion draft, and given that he'd be a much cheaper option than Virtanen, that saved money could be used to help the Canucks re-up Toffoli. Also, the MacAttack should be in the NHL full-time now. I could go on all day about why I think it's best for Vancouver to send Virtanen packing, but that's a whole other discussion in itself... Let me know your thoughts below.
  4. MacEwan re-signed, Virtanen traded to recoup a draft pick, and re-sign Toffoli with some of the money saved from trading Virt. Boom!
  5. Virtanen's a goof, sorry not sorry.
  6. Well I know Jake personally and know many others who do as well, and most of them (and myself included) don't really have too many positive things to say about him. I for one am one of those who would be completely okay if we moved on from him.
  7. If DiPietro has another solid season in Utica as their starter, do Benning and co. give him serious consideration to be the team's backup in two seasons from now (or is that too soon)?
  8. I'm just here for all the friendly birthday messages.
  9. Really hoping for Hughes (and trust me, I know how valuable he is to this team) but I still think it's Makar's to lose.
  10.  

    Just a reminder of what a class act Boeser is. Shame on you, Sekeras...

  11. Yeah I like to think that it's Colorado that more or less started this trend. And to think that Byram is on the way too.....
  12. Given the Isles system and how they play, I think he'll do very well there. I know who my darkhorse goalie pickup will be in my pool next year.
  13. Even Krug played nearly a full season in the A - and his coming out party was in the 2013 playoffs, so imagine Rathbone taking a similar route! I think Rathbone also has a good chance of making the team out of camp next season, however.
