  1. Pretty sure Vintage said it would reveal itself on October 1st.

      @6of1_halfdozenofother lol, are you serious?

      that's so not cool then, if you make a promise, keep a promise :lol:

  2. Why are we not in the market for a goalie? Running it back with Delia/Martin backing up seems like asking for the same result. Silovs needs games in Abby.

      Hopefully there was input from the Goalie Whisperer.

  3. Why did we let Juho Lammiko go? He seemed like a great fit. Lammiko Aman Joshua would be a fantastic 4th line in todays NHL.

      @Drakrami Hughes, Pettersson, and Demko are from the old regime too. Might as well trade them away to "make a statement".

      @Dazzle You should think more before you react. Read it. They need more room to make a statement. 

      Moving Hughes, Pettersson, and Demko? Not unless they want to get fired. So the room they had left was to refit people from down below, which meant 4th liners like Lammiko.

      @Drakrami I was being sarcastic. Moving players because they were from the old regime is stupid decision making and I just highlighted the reason why.

  4. Thought of the day. I remember the Sedins were a big reason we got Loui. I wonder if they also had a hand in the OEL trade? 

  5. JR/PA are lame ducks. Imagine the backlash if JB had this deadline. 

  6. Speculated TO VAN blockbuster..

    Miller for Marner 50% retained. 

    would you?

      Hell no.

      I don't want anyone from the Leafs.

      No, I don't want a floater who got his coach fired because he tried to get him to stop playing like the lazy piece of trash that he is.  You don't want the young players thinking his refusal to backcheck or go to the dirty areas is acceptable.

      Van neeeds Marner like a fish needs a bicycle

  7. Miller to Det for Veleno + 1st Who says no?

      Yzerman. Not the type of trade he would make, at least not at this point in their build. Not enough certainty in Miller (UFA after next season) for them to risk these assets on.

      if we move miller, i want to see a top 4 d man and a pick or strong center prospect, preferabley a rh center. good on face offs and a good penalty killer.

      jt is the heart and soul of this team. you don't give that up easily.

      @smithers joe Veleno is a fantastic 3C prospect. He's a 50+% faceoff guy who was thinking the game at an elite level at such a young age he was granted exceptional status. He is going to be one of the premier defensive C's in the league. Their 1st likely 16 to 20 range there are 2 very good RHD in that range Chesely and Luneau. 

  8. Can we please see.

    Garland Bo Boeser

    Miller Pete Hoglander  

    For a game or 2 please. 

  9. I wonder if the best option to plug the hole on the right side D is looking overseas. Would Nick Ebert be an option? https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/45972/nick-ebert

    24 YO RHD American born good offensive output in the SHL speed and good shot. ticks alot of boxes.

      I like Schenn as the option for 6/7/8D. He and Biega would both be really good in that role.

      Soderstrom is in this draft and has a total of 7pts in 44 games I would say he is a really really long shot if drafted to make the Canucks next year. I don't mind the prospect but there isn't much indication that his cieling is above 2nd pairing utility D he sort of does a lot of things well but no one thing tremendously. I would hope that waiting 3 years for a guy like that to develop into a  player isn't JB's first solution. Also in that range of pick I'm more interested in Sieder, Kaliev, Suzuki, Newhook, Caufield, if all off the table then Soderstrom. Just my $.02

      Not sure Zadina would slip into an NHL line-up right away, but if he did, I don't think he unseats Pettersson for the first line. 

  11. So if we beat MTL tomorrow are we back in the playoff hunt?

      Sharks in round 1? Series over in 3 games due to the Sedins retiring and Miller fleeing the country.

      We would probably play Minny assuming we get the final WC spot. A chance at redemption for 03 perhaps?

      I'd say we need more than one more win to really be competitive for a spot. Maybe two or three more consecutive wins and we'd be in the thick of it.

  12. Heyitsp my other login is pooched. This new CDC barfs on my comp I can only login through Facebook. I made hammertime a couple years ago and its the only way I can log in now bud. Most of the funks hardly work on my Pos tablet with the new cdc. Glad to see you made the injury tracker this year.

      Yeah it was weird, when they re-booted the site it worked fine for me. But the entire place was like a ghost town for a couple weeks, then gradually people started to pop up posting again. Not 2 Legit.
