  1. Minnesota recalls Vladimir Geraev and Robert Eriksson.
  2. Lol wtf is this thread right now? FFS, do we need to bring in Bill Peters and Bruce Cassidy to explain that Nordstrom is a winger?
  3. I didn't really say that. I said, or meant to say, the option was there for them to take if they felt they were in a cap crunch as they could probably get one of those guys to "go" to Seattle (by including additional assets).
  4. Sure. Is the yeet replaced with "cancel" for this game?
  5. NHL.com as a source I took a quick look at the Canucks roster using that website and it lists J.T. Miller and Tyler Motte as centers and Schmidt as a LD. I can only imagine what other nonsense inaccuracies they have under the positions for players on other teams.
  6. Giordano isn't going to be a dump lol. Also, I'm not sure what expectations you think Seattle has where Giordano having a poor year will be seen as detrimental for them lolol. Funny guy you are.
  7. I am not employed by Seattle but if I were to speculate, I would say that Seattle isn't going to pass up on adding an additional prospect/pick (if they require it) to select a former Norris winner, no matter how old or how washed he is. This is especially true since he has just the 1 year remaining.
  8. Giordano to Seattle wouldn't be much different than Garrison moving to VGK was (beyond the obvious gap in quality between the two players). I suppose Lucic is an outlier in comparison to the other contracts you named that were dumped on VGK. Then again, having bottom-six players make multiple millions on multi-year contracts, I'm told, is not a bad thing because of all the "character" and "leadership" they provide.
  9. Lol. Did it feel good to write an essay and miss the point? My original point is that getting Giordano/Lucic to move is not impossible if you're willing to bite the price of the sweetener it will take, be it high picks/good prospects.
  10. Just because Jim Benning is unable to do something doesn't mean that other GMs are unable to as well. David Clarkson, Jason Garrison, Mikhail Grabovski, Clayton Stoner, and even Marc-Andre Fleury were all "dead" cap that got moved. If you're willing to bite the bullet on throwing in a 1st, good prospects, or multiple picks, something can be arranged.
  11. I didn't say they would be a winning team. I said they would be a team without cap or structural problems. The truth is the Flames aren't winning anything with bums like Gaudreau and Monahan at the helm.
  12. Yeah, life with Chris Gear in the mix isn't entirely grim, at least in terms of internal negotiations.
  13. They have about 3M+ left in space as of right now with just Kylington to sign and another forward/defenceman to round out the roster. In terms of re-signings next year, they'll only have Dube, Valimaki, and Bennett, and only the former two are guys I'd imagine they'd be eager to bring back. Ryan will leave, Riitch will as well, and there's a good chance 107 year old Giordano or Milan Lucic will probably "go" to Seattle, which will open up even more cap-space at the cost of an asset or two. Term may bite them, especially on Tanev, but neither contract will be immovable if they run into some sort of cap crisis.
  14. Flames signing an elite bottom-six player for league minimum while we toil around with PIMs-central Roussel? Makes you wonder.. Treliving well-clear at the top...
  15. Yeah, Master Mind nailed it. It may make sense from a Canucks POV but it's kind of pointless for Winnipeg to do. If reports are to be believed, they're actively looking to move Laine and have entertained offers for Ehlers, so I don't think bringing in a winger is a big priority for them.
  16. Qwags and naslund.is.king made really good plays as town to switch over. Sometimes, you have to reward that to reinforce good town behaviour. Thanks for the host!
  17. Pretty good deal. He's gotten better every year and should improve. It's too bad we have cap problems, it would have been neat to lock him up for multiple seasons in light of having to negotiate with Pettersson/Hughes/Demko next year.
  18. Lol I love you but you're wrong. I already admitted to be the last guy...the game is done hehe.
  19. Lol yeah, I'm the last guy. Town actually put on their thinking caps for once. Good job! Thanks for the host, luckylager!
  20. You just said I was the last mafia and now you're saying "I dun think townie do this" You're setting this up to play dumb when I flip town. Bold tactic...from a lecherous fellow...like yourself...
