  1. According to one of my friends Ovi took Svechnikov down with a choke slam. I didn’t see that. At all.
  2. Connolly is an easy one imo. And since Washington won’t be able to re-sign him I’d say we’ll be near the top of his preferred destinations. He’d be a good fit on the 2nd line.
  3. The Winter Olympics host stat was my personal favourite. I actually thought that confirmed we were going to win
  4. Could you imagine if Pettersson puts four months of hard work in and comes into camp between 185-190lbs? His skill and speed, at 6’2” 190 would be absolutely incredible. For comparison, Bure did what he did at 187lbs, and Pettersson is four inches taller than him.
  5. Columbus is gonna be bonkers tonight

  6. What’s amazing is leafs fans will still somehow defend this. Get this piece of human trash out of the league.
  7. Get Kadri out of this league already. 

    1. Where's Wellwood

      Let him kill Marchand first

      Burke thinks he should get 5 games.

    3. coastal.view

      he has 3 more years on his contract still

      i bet tml would be willing to do a kadri for gaudette trade

      frees up cap space for them

      and gives them a quality replacement who just needs a bit more seasoning

      and canucks get grit and someone to relief bo of some of the defensive load he has been carrying

       

  8. I will never understand why people have already written Virtanen off, but want to give 25 year old Brendan Gaunce and his 15 points in 117 games a chance.

      Expectations.....fair or not, when you’re a 6th overall pick vs 26th overall pick.

      Except Hockey players don't follow a linear path. 

      Some take longer to develop than others. Every player is different.

      @Ghostsof1915  As well as positions they play.  Not hard set rules but it logically often takes a center, D, or goalie longer to develop than a winger (who doesn’t have nearly the same responsibilities as those other positions).  But as you said, there are no set time periods.

  9. There was head contact and he came from the other side of the ice. It was the right call.
  10. We’ll have the cap space for both Gardiner and Karlsson, and with how Benning talked about changing the defense, why not both?
  11. Yea that would be reasonable as well. But how keen are we on giving up Virtanen?
  12. I think Ristolainen would be perfect. Yes he was -40 this year, but just a couple years ago Bo Horvat was near the bottom of the league in +/- and look at him now. Gaudette, Madden, and a pick should get it done.
  13. If he wants to stay here which I assume he does then that would allow us to not immediately re-sign him and be able to protect Demko.
  14. We could sign him to a one year contract so we can protect Demko for the draft, and then re-sign him after if DiPietro still needs some seasoning in the AHL.
