It’s a good deal for us providing we move Nylander immediately for a younger centre. 

@Alflives I’m surprised you’d say that. Nylander would garner similar money. He fits the nux timeline better. He might play better in the western conference. Neither player are favs of mine but I wouldn’t hate the move. Watching pettersons interview talking about miller it left me questioning if he even liked miller. Of the 2 , stork boy might be the better fit 

For that contract plus modified NTC, 3rd and 4th round picks are not enough. Maybe if we are playing fantasy hockey.

Considering that's not an option, no, I never thought of that.

There’s no need to provide the opposition any more incentive to break the fastest multi goal PP 

LMFAO - "this forum hated Tanev".  Exaggerate much?  He may have been under appreciated, but there was no universal hate for Tanev.  Quite the opposite...every time I wrote something remotely uncomplimentary about Tanev, I heard it from Tanev's army.  I miss Tanev.  I wish he was a Canuck still.

Was always a fan of his...most here were and didn't want him to walk away. Sure, there were concerns about his age and injury history but he was solid and most here knew what we were losing. Especially in relation to playing with Quinn.

Warrior for sure but it also highlights why we let him go. It sounds great and fans love to hear how much these guys fight through, but clearly a player that hurt is playing around 50%...

Love Tanev but he is oft injured for some reason and you want players in the lineup who are healthy because that gives you the best chance to win. 

I've had 2 of those injuries at the same time (Labrum and separated shoulder). I was a good athlete in my day. There's no way you can be effective with such injuries even at a junior level, let alone pro.

Could've used more games to gain momentum with Pod and Garland, but it's what it is.

Hope he recovers quickly.

Aw, sounds like you're going to have some good quality "family time".  Enjoy every second of it!

Nice - what position does your grandson play?

He is a d-man. 16 yrs old and 6"2" and 182 lbs. His D partner is 6"5:...

They beat Fraser Valley Aces 8-3 tonight....now 5-0 for their season.

He's verrrrry good! From the 1st listen, knew this guy was the real deal.

Now for the love of all that's Holee..let's find him an entertaining(Larscheid, Harry Neale-type) side-man; for excellence in broadcasting.

I like him, but I can't hear that name without feeling for Burkie.

No more of this.......at least from Peel.

This would have been poetic justice if it was a Vancouver player shooting...........

Should also be firing Sutherland for not coming forward.

Media people saying Dim Jim wasn't shopping him anyways. 

We are in a playoff race, Not unloading players lmao. Wishful thinking listening to mainstream

What race, we are miles behind lmao

yup Gaz  thats what i was hoping for. 

Man tho if you're Loui E it sure looks like there's no spot barring injuries. Even Schaller has picked it up. 

I don’t hate Sutter or Dislike him as a hockey player. But I would rather try and trade him before his next injury. He looks good but with that contract is it worth the risk given the past couple years? Maybe I guess.

Could deal him & another depth fwd for 2 mid picks. The 2021 pick ranges  #2-4 round, pending on their games played. Such a deal is not so complicated, & fair to both sides.

Just need a Suitor(pardon pun) beset by a spate of injuries.

lol Rieder just got his second of the night. 

Wasn't Rieder the guy that couldn't get any goals last season?

Yup, zero goals and Chiarelli singled him out as the reason Oilers didn't make the playoffs. Really threw him under the bus.

He played great.  And Ovi proved he’s a punk with zero class.  I wish he never won a Cup cause it looks like it went right to his head...

Should've gotten suspended for almost taking out the eye of Saku (still ended up removing the heart & soul of the Habs lettting the Canes win that series and later on the playoff run, their Cup).

He's still great in the regular season too. Will end up with some really impressive career numbers if he can keep up this level in his twilight years.

pssh only half? how does he meet the nutritive demands of being a professional hockey player eating no name?

I'd take him over MacDavid at the same salary.  I don't know how it's possible for someone with the success he's had to be underrated, but he is.

The last of a dying breed? Torts teams get a surge upwards, then it appears a long decline. It likely reminds hockey followers of the Keenan-curve.

As the players gain more cash & clout, & youth is increasingly required, not sure we'll see these types of coaches in the bigs, much longer.

I find it hilarious. 

Especially how agitated Torts is about it hahahaha.

I'm kinda rooting for em but I'll laugh if they miss out

"captain"

God, that team's a mess.  They need to quit with the drama and antics and just lay low for  awhile.

I'm skeptical of anything coming from Ottawa or TSN tbh. Not a good look for any of the parties involved though.

It was the home town hockey feature and they were doing it from Dieppe, New Brunswick. Nice tributes from Burr and Letang.

Going to try to find it, thank you!

Deb, I actually think it was just a replay of this one for the most part.
