  1. @Alflives You're Leafs not doing so well Alfie That 3rd goal was a bad one
  2. Huge game in east TML vs FLA tonight. Should be a good one.
  3. Lol. You are such a troll Alfie.
  4. We'll see what happens. Several bottom feeders like MIN OTT NJD have upto 3 firsts OTT definitely needs a top tier young goalie or prospect. There's talk they might take the Russian kid with one of their top 2 picks ( own or SJS). He'll go top 4th to 8th overall. OR they could give us the late NYI first from Pageau trade for Demko... OR another team that needs a goalie could trade down from top 15 to bottom 10. Pick up additional assets and give us that bottom 10 for Demko. So many variables. Should be an interesting and busy summe
  5. That's why he won't return a 1 to 15 first rounder. He's a sure fire starter in the league in a year. Someone will pay a 1st for a young, tall starter. I wouldn't be surprised. He won't get a top 10 pick like CS did but a bottom 10 I can see happening. It'll be an interesting summer
  6. All VGk in 2nd period. Ice seems tilted. With Yamo out Oilers 2nd line doesn't play nearly at same speed as when he's in. Yamo makes Drai and Nuge play in higher gear and much faster.
  7. Ya I hear you Alfie..that's the way to play, especially right now with Marky out for a month. Defensive hockey wins Cups. Canucks are going to need to tighten up here if they hope to win a round or two in playoffs.
  8. Ofcourse they are well coached. Tippet was brought in for that purpose. Hitch also put in some work last season to get them playing defensive. They play a very responsible game. Before this they used to play like the Leafs and it wasn't getting them much success. Going to be a tight out in the Pacific. Giving VGK all they can handle right now even though down 1-0 early in the 2nd period.
  9. Their 2nd line Yamo Nuge Draisaitl was dominating before Yamo got injured. Kassian will be back on McDavid's line soon after serving suspension. Neal and Kleffbom will also be back from injury soon. With additions of Ennis and AA they are a deeper team now. Their 3rd and 4th lines will be better with trickle down affect. They have a good team.
  10. Oilers in Vegas just started. Looking forward to watching this game all-day. Good divisional matchup. Lets how Oilers do vs VGK.
  11. zero points for Makar vs BUF. Game ended as I type.. Quinn still up 5 Pts on Makar for rookie scoring race. Was a pretty good game to watch. AVS are always entertaining team to watch.
  12. McDavid had been playing with 3rd liners. Oilers improved a lot with adding AA and Ennis. That speed will be very hard to handle for defenses. They'll be a tough opponent if we face them in first round.
  13. AA and Ennis both played well. 1g 1asst 2 pts +2 for both players They both played 16+ mins Nice debut, and that 1st line is so freaking fast. Scary speed with McDavid and AA on same line.
  14. I highly doubt a playoff bound team would want him at tdl. He's soft and head injuries history. Not playoff type player. We'll see I guess. Lets see what happens in summer. As long as JB can move him and get rid of cap hit it'll be good with me.
  15. JB might be able to move him in summer. His cap hit is $3.66 mill but actual salary is $2.4 mill next season. A cap floor team might take a chance. Maybe JB sends a 4th or 5th round pick as sweetener.
  16. With his concussions history, soft play and high cap hit I wouldn't take him either. It'll be a trade of bad contracts or he'll be bought out in summer.
  17. 27 yrs old with a long body. Exactly what Ian Clark likes in a goalie. Depending on how things unfold in summer this guy could be our backup next season. And he'll be cheap. 1 mill per for 2 yrs. After working with Clark for rest of this season, playoffs, summer and camp for next season LD can get his game back. Clark does wonders with goalies, Luongo, Bobs and Marky have all made huge gains under Clark's coaching. He completely re invented Marky and made him elite. LD was pretty good backup in TBL. It will be interesting to see what happens over the summer.
  18. This is part of the equation as well. Agents and players notice these things when a GM helps a player to get back in the show. JB did this with Biega by sending him to DET so he can play in NHL.
  19. A lot of ppl asking why NJD did us a solid. GMs have relations. JB will pay back in kind next time Tom Fitzgerald or NJD are in a bind.
  20. Good pickup for backup. He's got 138 NHL games under his belt. He's experienced and will contribute when he's called upon. Solid trade gave up nothing.
  21. 6mill per for 6 yrs for TT if he has a solid 20 games to finish regular season and team goes 2 rounds in playoffs with Tofu playing a key top 6 role.
