  1. That's exactly what worries me, we may wind up developing a fourth line center/defensive specialist. Also, the Canadian market fishbowl environment is something I'd like to shield our kids from until they're ready to make an actual contribution.
  2. Willie has to try to win at the NHL level. It's a business, and the business isn't player development.
  3. Also, what is it about the Hodgson/Kassian trade the would compel a new GM to play Kassian any more than the Schneider/Horvat trade would compel him to play Horvat, even if we accept that the 'circumstances' of a particular trade would have any bearing on ice time. What exactly are these unique circumstances anyway?
  4. Question changed-answer withdrawn, lol.
  5. I don't follow you. Horvat, or the pick used to acquire him a matter of hours later, came to us in a similar high profile trade.
  6. Just watching NHL rfewind now I realized I'd forgotten just how cool Craig MacTavish used to look skating around without a helmet. It was almost like he was the star of his on crazy ice show; maybe his own shampoo commercial or something. It was very interesting look.

      Played 1000 games without a helmet and didn't get a head injury.. Now you can't go two days without someone getting a concussion

  7. It's good to see Virtanen's hockey development is far head of his Movember mustache development.
  8. As I've been saying, I think he belongs in London this year, but if we are determined to force feed him NHL minutes this year, it's nice to see him handling it as well as he has.
  9. First chance for me to see Virtanen this year. And yes, that hit was scary.
  10. Kassian's lost his helmet!

      Who does he think he is, Bertuzzi? Strap it up tight.

  11. Yeah, Aldo/Mendes was one of the best title fights to go down in a while. Well worth streaming last night.
  12. That's the Manny Malhotra formula. I'd rather see him have a big offensive year in the OHL than waste the year doing what we're doing with him at this point. And I'm a big Bo booster; it's just that I personally don't like handing roster spots to self-entitled teenagers on the basis of draft position no matter who we're talking about. It's a men's league.
