Especially with Virtanen, Stecher, Carcone, Demko all possibly heading there. 

Carcone is fun to watch. Very fast and explosive.

Carcone also dished out a couple of hits throughout too which showed his rugged side

Bo had like a 32 game scoreless drought. Imagine he didn't have that plus he wasn't play with Vrbata? 

I keep saying this. 50-55 points wouldn't have been out of the reach.

Oh I don't doubt that either. If we can get him a proven scorer for the right side including his chemistry with Baertschi I could see 60+ this year. 

Selke nominee.  The kids a beauty.

There used to be a mock "break in case of insecurity" picture about the Flames and their 1989 win. Like those fire hose cases you get in hotels for example. Someone should draw one up for the Oilers..

When up a man, we SHOULD play with power

Yet that last yr, resembled jenga-tower

When pullin' a brick

Point man - broken stick!

Things must get sweeter, having long been so sour

Edler-Larson PP1

Hutton-Guddy PP2

But but then we will miss out on all the Sign Tavares threads! 

He'd look good on a line with Nylander and Marner

I think he should wait a little, just to toy with leafs fans hopes.

Won't be watching given the ads on jerseys/BS format.  Absolutely sickening to see trash like Marchand representing this country.  Hopefully he gets hospitalized in camp and can't go.

Like Kesler says F Team Canada but Team USA and Team Europe or any other of the teams can @#$& off too.

Only team I am cheering for is the under 23 guys to prove Hockey is a young man's game now.

I could care less what players are on Team Canada or USA this is a preseason tournament and won't have the intensity of the Olympics where players are in mid season form.

I hear ya Pears, this is the tester for sure. At least Couture doesn't have the embarrassment factor of Marchant.

I've been able to cheer for players I don't like because they wear the red and white in the past, but ratface is one I just can't swallow.

Being a diver and whiner is one thing (Perry, Couture, Cr... etc) but just imagine if Marchant gets up to his ratty bs whilst representing Canada.

I agree. A few bucks on North America would make it interesting.

I'd have no problem putting $20 down on them. 

A $400 payout for $20 ain't bad.

Yes

Yep, he'll still be under 26 by the time the season starts.

I bet Laine gets rookie of the year. 

If the asking price is high its prob like 

Blue chip prospect + roster player + pick (prob a 2nd rounder) 

I would never do this tho. 

We'd be taking a gamble on Kane so that's why I'd rather go for Landeskog instead. 

I can see a crazy asking price of Landeskog 

Boeser/Horvat + Tanev + 2nd 

Link?

What if Stamkos agreed to a trade first?

Tavares: I would not count on that. I think I've shown my commitment, my appreciation and my desire to play on Long Island. I would love for that to continue for the long haul. I think that you look at some of the greatest players in the game have been able to spend their entire careers somewhere. I hope I'm in that same position.

Being from Toronto, people are going to make those connections and it is what it is. That's nothing I can control. I just want to go out and be the best player and person i can be for the Islanders day in and day out and I'm just going to focus on tomorrow and the upcoming season.

lmao : D

Add the 2nd to Florida, & one more pick in the Bones deal(+ Forsling, Clendenning?)

But yeah, if Kane could get his act together, one starts dreaming of a lotto-windfall...

Pecan Pie(Golden Smog) is a fine lil' ditty

A $7.8 million cap hit we don't need. And he wouldn't play here anyways. 

The Sphinx says:

'when you doubt your powers' you give power to your doubts'.

I would say one more season, and go all in for the Sedins last year.

Can't remember but we were up 3-2 and Game 6 was at home

Spoiler alert: 

Funny, last night also hadda' vivid dream, I was sensuously kissing this shapely lass, & she done polymorphed into the Stanley Cup!

Was almost anticlimactic..

That's fine with me. 

Good but I'd switch Virt and Etem's sides.

not going to happen

He ain't leaving Seguin

out of the two, i'd go for helm

According to Moj, who is close to Lucic, we are not getting him.  It's looking like Erikson and Ladd. IMHAO

Connoly/Boedker/Brouwer and Helm or Sceviour no to Vanek or Fiddler.

Only if he's staying in TB, then it would be hilarious.  If it's TO, definitely not.

Any UFA can be approached and spoken to, negotiated with etc. From June 25th to July 1st, teams can approach UFAs. It's called the "negotiation period". The only thing they cannot do is put pen to paper on a SPC (standard player contract).

Other than that, everything is fair game. Benning only got his hands slapped a little because he jumped the gun by about 8 hours.

@shadowgoon Ooops, you are correct. Forgot about that.

Lombardi in LA did what he did to absolve any GM out there of tampering charges pre draft in the event they let slip that they would be interested in Looch
