  1. I don't think some people appreciate just how bad of a contract he has. 9 mil for 1 assist. For 6 years beyond now. It makes Loui look like a steal. The only way Skinner gets out of Buffalo is if he either A ) Drastically improves his play to the point where he could actually be moved with a significant sweetener from Buffalo B ) Is included in the inevitable Eichel trade, in which some significant cap shenanigans would have to take place and would massively decrease Buffalo's return. Not interested.
  2. In fairness I don't really watch US games that often in the regular season under normal circumstances.Outside the Canucks I really only tune in for marquee matchups. Its not that I don't love hockey, I do. But I only have so much time in the day and watching other people play a game when I don't feel particularly invested in the outcome often feels like wasting it. I'd rather go down to a local rink and watch a couple of junior B teams play live than sit on my couch and watch Nashville and Carolina play thousands of kms away.
  3. I'd trade anyone for the right price, but nobody is going to be ponying up what I want for Hughes.
  4. Rutherford's record over the past few years have been extremely questionable. Yes he won 2 cups. Chiarelli won a cup in Boston too before he started going off the wall. I'd consider him as an AGM because he certainly has vision and a direct approach, but he's not the guy I'd want ultimately with his finger on the button.
  5. Everything I've seen from Devils fans says that while he might not be an elite point producer, he has future Selke potential, so this makes sense.
  6. After the Sedins I think this market is always going to be a bit prepossessed with having a pair of brothers on the same team.
  7. I was firmly on the keep Green bandwagon, until this year. I'm not switching sides and saying he needs to be fired immediately, but its pretty obvious theres going to be some change on the horizon and now I'm in the "let the chips fall where they may" camp. I have no idea whats going on behind the scenes in that locker room but its clear somethings wrong in the state of Denmark.
  8. Realized I was indirectly contradicting my own post, so ignore this.
  9. As a human being I wish Marky nothing but the best, but now that he's a flame I gotta say I really enjoy watching him get chased from the net.
  10. The NHL is a gate driven league. There's no way the owners would be in favour of losing 10+ games of revenue.
  11. Say what you want about Kes, he was an absolute warrior for us. This exemplifies it even further. Sad that there some out there who still boo him.
  12. The problems run a lot deeper than truculence, though that seems to be the flextape solution to every teams problems in some people's eyes.
  13. I genuinely don't understand why the anthem was played in the first place. At international sporting events, sure. Between club teams? Seems strange.
  14. Nuh-uh. Hughes is a bust now because he's a minus. Schmidt was overrated playing for a good team. Edler is a boomer. Myers is the worst defenseman in the league because he's paid too much and since Benning signed him he's therefore bad. JuoLeVi cOuLd hAvE bEEn TkAcHUk. Benn is only signed because he's a local boy. Hamonic is not Tanev. Worst defense in the league, possibly ever.
  15. I don't think "good leadership" is going to fix the attitude of a serial $&!# disturber like DeAngelo. It's going to take a lot more than that.
  16. You're kidding right? People get their lives ruined over completely innocuous behaviour these days. If anything it's gone the complete opposite direction. That's not to say DeAngelo didn't deserve to be waived.
  17. One of the primary genes that causes hairloss comes from the mother's side, but its not the only one. If everyone on your mom's side has an immaculate head of hair and your dad's side are all cue balls you have a very good chance of going bald.
  18. Konecny is a good player but I definitely think people are overvaluing the fact that he's Bo's second cousin.
  19. This guy has had constant speculation of character issues since before he was drafted. Hard pass.
