  1. Id love to see us look at weaponizing cap space & getting a younger player/asset. We dont have alot of assets, but one asset weve had is cap space. And this regime has refused to weaponize it. Instead we just sign our own bad contracts.
  2. Neals a guy ive wondered about. Not sure if Calgary would want to take on Eriksson given there wanna be contender status but I wonder if they would sweeten the pot for us to take Neal. They have a few good young defenseman.
  3. Is Seider a difference maker like those guys tho?
  4. With his play at the U18 i think newhook has vaulted himself into the 9 - 15 group/area. Id be surprised if hes still on the board much longer than 15.
  5. Newhook isnt just a north / south player. I dont see the Virtanen comparison at all. Jake used his strength / speed advantage to pile goals in jr. Newhook is a rounded offensive player & he doesnt have Virtanens strength.
  6. My top 10 would be 1. Hughes 2. Kakko 3. Byram 4. Dach 5. Turcotte 6. Boldy 7. Podkolzin 8. Cozens 9. Caufield 10. Newhook
  7. Tryamkin still has another year left on his KHL deal. Plus hes no guarantee, and Hughes/Juolevi are rookies, they arent either. Myers is at best on par with Edler (more likely a downgrade). Plus youll have to give him a worse contract than Edler is asking for.
  8. Cant imagine this defense improving if they cant bring Edler back
  9. At that point that Raptors were in good position they just had to guard the perimeter & not let Steph/Klay get a good look. Which they then allowed both too. I think not calling the timeout on the last play was worse honestly. Mightve got a better shot. Though in fairness credit to Green, it looked like Lowry might get a clean shot off.
  10. It was a bad moment that quickly turned around. Doubt anyone in that building is actually happy he's hurt or anything like that. Can tell GS feels like crap, alot of pressure for him to play & he clearly wasn't ready.
  11. Probably was not ready to play tonight. Guy hadn't joined a full practice till yesterday right? I don't doubt he wanted to play, but it was an irresponsible decision to let him play in hindsight.
  12. They know what they did wrong. Just need to regroup & come back better.
  13. Yeah KD gave the Warriors a shot in the arm they haven't had all series. Just f***ing sucks. Couldn't let either guy get a 3 & both did. Really felt like we had it, but the game was really lost at the 3 point line. When you look back, terrible on turnovers early, not hitting shots mid way, then poor timeouts late (the 1 when were up & not calling it at the end) & it still came down to the last play. 2 days till the next game correct? Gives the guys a chance to regroup. The Raptors have been the better team in the series, just gotta play there game & it'll happen.
  14. Yeah lots of good signs. Shoot slightly better from 3, & we win. Without KD, we win. Call the timeout & get a better possession, maybe we win. Lots of reason to feel confident. Perhaps the boys will feel less pressure at Oracle, knowing KD can't play, and away from a city that's ready to explode. I'm definitely confident.
  15. Tough man, I was ready to celebrate. Really felt like they had this when they took the lead. Can definitely get this done at Oracle.
  16. Yeah Toronto is definitely the better team. GS needs Toronto to have a bad shooting game or they can't win. GS can't beat Toronto at there best.
  17. Couldn't let Klay or Curry get a 3 & both happened. Time to regroup.
