  1. He might, but not for 4 years which is the minimum Miller will want with a full NTC.
  2. The sabres being my 2nd team and all, going with no on this one. Miller is a great goalie, but when you just traded a dick should your next move be adding a bigger one? If you guys thought kesler was bad..
  3. With one siging you fix Edler, fix the powerplay, and can trade Tanev to fill a huge hole on the 2nd line. He is absolutely going to think about it, and think very hard. He'd be an absolute boob if he didn't.
  4. Sbisa who rode the pine in the playoffs top 4? I'm not going to say he can't be one, but he's our 7th D until he proves otherwise.
  5. I'd love to get him back, i'd trade anyone except Hamhuis to make room for him on the back end but he's going to get a boat load of money. However, this makes 3 offensive D options on the market so I like our chances to get one.
  6. 5'11 170, the same size and skillset as patrick kane. Yeah, that would have been terrible...
  7. There's a big difference between hitting people and skating through people with the puck. Lucic can do it, Torres can't. Virtanen's size isn't bad, but he plays like he's as big as Lucic and he's just not big enough to play that way. He's going to need to expand his game or Torres might be his ceiling. Torres was after all a 5th overalll pick.
  8. He won't be skating right through men in the NHL at his size, so hopefully he develops some other skills like passing soon.
  9. This is somewhat how I feel, but the best thing I can say about the pick is it wasn't nick ritchie. I would have barfed.
  10. This guy used to write for hockeybuzz and made Ian Esplen look credible, hogwash.
  11. I lke the hire, but curious to see what the terms are. No reason to give a rookie coach (in a league where only 4 coaches have held their current tenure more than 4 years) more than a 3 year deal. This will tell us our first piece of info on how capable our management is, or whether we're still overpaying people to come here and paying them long after they've gone. There's a reason ticket prices are so ridiculous in Vancouver, they aren't getting any cheaper after last season but it would be nice if they did in the not too distant future.
  12. If it's Garrison, Hunter and our 6th for Ekblad, absolutely done in a heartbeat. To get that pick and take Reinhart? No thanks.
  13. I think it would be a mistake not to move the 2nd and someone like Hansen to get back into the first round, target Honka, Barbashev or someone like Tuch if they fall.
  14. I really can't get past Crow claiming he had absolutely nothing to do with the Bertuzzi incident, everyone knows he played his part. I don't want him anywhere near this team again.
  15. He has a great stache so he must be a good coach right? I'm glad it's not Johnston, but hope it's not more than a 3 year deal.
  16. It was either this or play him on the 4th line, he never fit anywhere else..
  17. Florida Centers: Barkov, Bjugstad, Pirri, Shore, Trochek, Grimaldi, Rau Buffalo Centers: Hodgson, Girgensons, Grigorenko, Compher, Larsson and half a dozen others that might be good players. Both Bjugstad and Girgensons are also comparible to Horvat, I love when stupid people try to create rumors. I smell edmonton behind this one, i'm sure they'd love Horvat.
  18. A couple things, Edmonton's got good 2nd and 3rd pairing defenders coming. They need a number 1 and 2 D, people don't give those up often and this is likely their only chance. They've been trying to trade gagner for a couple years now but he's not worth what they think he is. And if Florida makes their pick they take Ekblad, they need RW's which is why they want to trade the pick but are loaded at C so they aren't taking one....This is why they want to trade the pick. Obviously Florida would have to send something decent back in a trade for Yakupov, but it's not exactly a secret that Yak and the Oilers isn't working out for both parties. Oilers can get a quality Center back in the deal as well as finally getting their top pairing D, Florida gets the elite winger type Tallon covets and can still trade the 3rd pick and address other areas.
  19. Which absolutely takes us out of the bidding.
  20. I continue to believe Edmonton will offer Yakupov and more, the Isles have a lot to offer. I'm sure Burke will be in the mix as well, he usually is, the price to move into the top 3 will be a lot more than people think and we can't afford to pay it. If this were next years draft I might be down with selling our youth, but for Reinhart? No thanks..
  21. I get what you're trying to say, every time there is a rumor of a possible trade upcoming all of a sudden there are stories about how there's a rift between someone and so and so.. In this case it is probably true though. I don't agree that we should blindly support the team, if we don't agree with something we need to make it known. it would just be nice if we didn't have some of the dumbest fans on earth shouting about how they can count to potato.
