  1. I am happy Stanton is ready, but it is unfortunate for Weber as he has been playing rather well. No reason he should be taken out of lineup. Going to be an interesting few games before the Olympics. I feel a trade coming before the break, most insiders speculating a busy week before Sochi.
  2. Don't want Ott, want my homeboy Lappy back, dude was fricken awesome and best-most hated grin in the league.
  3. If he is healthy and sitting I think Mg should go redden/Gomez route and buyout during season with agreement from league. Don't have to waste roster spot, clears some of his 4.25m for remainder of season, no risk of injury, and David can sign somewhere he thinks he would fit in. I'll take a little cap effect this season knowing 4.25 is gone next season.
  4. So who gets called up? Smart money is on Corrado I'd think..
  5. I think the break will be good for the twins and we will see a 3pt night from each of them. I predict a fantastic sedinary January.
  6. How often do you see a 2-on-1 featuring Bieksa and Santorelli against a forward? Only the oilers...
  7. I think Lu will be getting b2b games due to him being off for 4 days, What team is better to shake the rust off with than the Oilers? They will more than likely test him with lots of shots getting him in game shape for a huge test the next night. I think this is actually a pretty good idea. Lu is one of the few goalies I trust playing 70 games a year, he wont this year but the occasional b2b is okay with me. Canucks 5-2
  8. This is my thought on next years roster: Sedin - Sedin - Burrows (I whole heartedly believe Burr is and will continue to be the best fit here.) ? - Kesler/? - Kesler/? Higgins-Santorelli-Hansen Archie - Richie - Weise Garrison - Bieksa Hamhuis - Tanev Stanton - Corrado Some obvious omissions. - I believe Booth will be bought out if his play remains low, I also believe he will be traded if his play returns MG wont risk keeping him around if he can be traded, too many red flags and that 4.25M is very valuable. - I look at Kassian, Hansen, and Weise and honestly believe the latter 2 will remain on the team, Hansen isn't having a great season but his play in past seasons shows he is a proven workhorse and should be given some time. Weise has played really well as a PKer and energy role, has looked better every season here. Kassian should be traded while he still has value, yes he may become a formidable pwr fwd but with an aging core we don't have the time to wait and see. - Edler, who has been the hottest player in the Armchair boards should be moved, because honestly our D have played better with him out of the lineup and bringing Corrado up should be a priority for this team. Edler is more valuable to use as a trade piece than as a player. His "offense" may be missed a bit but if I am not mistaken our other 5 D have same/more points than him. - Sestito is omitted due to his terrible possession stats but will still be around as a 13th forward, same with Welsh. - Schroeder has no place on this team now or in the future, great young player but is slowly becoming a player made of glass. Players like Callahan, Stastny, Camalleri, Moulsen, Vanek, Steen, Grabo, Legwand, Michalek, Steen, these are the players we should be targeting at the deadline and FA. Everyone who thinks all our F prospects NEED to be on the team should remember that a lot of our players are getting older and we are still in a position to make a run or two. There is no harm done in keeping prospects in the Minors, not until they are ready. I personally want Gaunce to get at least one year in Utica, And Bo Hunter both have a full year of CHL they can benefit from plus time in Utica. Injuries will happen, they will get their chance. So my answer is yes. Santorelli is a great player, can play anywhere, is a great stopgap for the time between now and when our prospects are READY to be called up, and is one of the players I do NOT want to move to make way for UFA's. Santorelli should be signed to a reasonable third liner contract. Kassian, Edler, Schroeder, and Booth should be moved to bring in, via trade or signing, two 2nd line players.
  9. The biggest optimism that can be offered is how well we have played Colorado in the past, just dominating. 14-0-1 in previous 3 seasons. Lets go! Big game from twins.
  10. If you told most CDCs this at the beginning of the season, no one would believe you.
  11. agreed, and in all honesty should never have been sent down in the first place.. How long does it take to waive the worst Corsi play in the league.
  12. I'd take the chance because we can debate that Booth has more upside, but one of the two players is in the press box and it isn't Erat.
  13. my parents came home in a drunken stupop 10 seconds before 1-1, we can share the blame.
  14. I think a roster move needs to be made once Hansen/Weise return. Sedin-Sedin-Kesler should not be broken up as they are the hottest line in hockey right now. Higgins-Santorelli-Burrows were absolutely dominant possession-wise so points should start coming for them soon. Archibald-Richardson-Kassian I think could become a great 4th line that has energy and can play 10 minutes a game This leaves us with a 3rd line that needs restructuring. Hansen is obviously a lock but after that it gets sort of iffy. Most of us want Booth gone, and Richardson is best utilized on the 4th line and PK. So what we really need is a 3rd line center and replacing booth on the 3rd with a cheaper and better option. I like Weise in the lineup but we have a clog of RWers with Kesler on wing so he will probably be the #13 guy moving forward. Dalpe and Sestito can be waived/sent down and I wouldn't bat an eyelash. Welsh can remain the #14 guy to slot in with center injuries. So the question is how do we get Booth off the roster and acquire two serviceable 3rd liners?
  15. They would have been much better off packaging one of their many prospects with those picks instead. Vanek-Tavares-Moulson would have been a pretty sick first line..
  16. https://twitter.com/alsamUraie/status/392436762204581889/photo/1 Strombone1 is actually James Duthie? LOL!
  17. Cederholm and Subban impressing early. We've been having some serious luck with defensemen lately.
  18. Sort of makes you wish each individual player could have a custom helmet. Would create pages of content for CDC and other forums.
  19. Likely, If each player is either getting 2 or 3 games (3 for a lot of the hyped guys) I see them splitting Shinkaruk and Horvat up for the last two games. Gaunce will more than likely get both games and I could see him getting Shinkaruk for a game and Jensen for another.
