I'm glad we walked, it seems there's certain prospects Benning absolutely won't part with. Did Madden not make that cut?

F: Hoglander Podkolzin Lind D: Rafferty Rathbone Juolevi G: DiPietro Simple as that. Gadj and Woo took a step back this year, McDonough probably has 2 more years of college and however many pro. Focht and Jasek are wild cards. Teves lost his spot in Utica to 20 y/o Eliot. Lockwood might have a real shot. Benning in the Toffoli trade interview mentioned that he expects MacEwen to be on the team full time next year. I figure MacEwen is already factored in.

I've warmed up to the idea of Domingue getting some games. I think Clark has shown he can improve just about anyone. Why did NJ do us this favor? McIntyre lost his starting job in Utica to a rookie... he's no where close.

7 in BC, 11 in Canada: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-press-newsalert-seventh-case-of-covid-19-diagnosed-in-b-c We were the 2nd worst hit behind China during the SARS outbreak. I highly doubt we've done anything to lessen that this time around. 6 flights from Taipei in the last day: https://www.yvr.ca/en/passengers/flights/arriving-flights It took me 3 stores to get an n95 mask, so i'm not the only crazy person out there.

Our D is definitely a weak point.. in our own zone. Offensively, we've actually exceeded our point totals of last season on the backend in 22 fewer games. That seems to be the cost of our run and gun style. Score a bunch and hope Markstrom stands on his head. Can Demko fill that void?

No, unfortunately we're screwed. 7 reported cases in BC, inbound flights from China still going. Italy, Autrria, Spain all closing rails. Our response? A sign at the airport.

I'm cracking up watching the TSN panel try to spin this as positive. Anthanasiou is -45......... he's producing at a third of his best year and the Oilers are excited about this?!? Brutal.

It's not confirmed yet. In theory how much would you add to send Eriksson to MIN for Suter? Same concept.

Juolevi, Stecher, Baertschi (cap dump) conditional 3rd 2021 (on re-signing) for Barrie

I think we're actively shopping Juolevi. He's been mentioned in both the Barrie and Simmonds talks, though he should yield more than either. Wouldn't surprise me if he was moved tomorrow, and hopefully for a haul.

Ya, there's a reason he tags his stuff with 'insiderrrr' to mimic all the fake accounts that add a letter to seem like a real insider. To Commodore's credit he did call Bogosian to TB 10 minutes before everyone else.

If we can add a contract that extends into next year ( Sutter, Baertschi, Benn) I would be ecstatic.

I'm guessing it's 2 guys we can't keep for one guy we can't keep. I, like others don't see the fit.

Wish we had the balls to waive him. The Calgary game two weeks back sealed his fate. Physical affair and he doesn't show up at all. 4th line wing, the best you could do for your team is take a guy off with you. MacEwen or Bailey could have filled his spot adequately.

This is a bit much. We've won 2 of the last 8 (playoff % declined 96% to %70), need to correct our course before we can even consider playoffs nonetheless conference finals.

From the 'insiderr' himself:

Haha, funny how this turned into a Loui thread. Kase was really the only bright spot on the Ducks, and the Bruins of all teams get him.

I've spent too much time hating Toronto to view any of their roster as valuable. Who do we want if Stecher is rumored to go there? They say it's centered around Barrie, but that sounds more like a cap dump.

Well, hearing that Boeser could return sooner thus means less cap for Simmonds is fantastic news on both fronts! I'm ok with getting the guy but I'm well of the opinion he's a 3rd liner at best. Fingers crossed for a mid-March Boeser return.

Boston is going to be tough. Have to sweep the road trip after that game to get back in this.

won 2 of the last 8. we have to correct this course before any of this playoff discussion takes place.

He baits Canucks fans with an English Instagram account. It features him wearing Canucks gear and commenting on recent Canucks social media posts. Many have speculated that due to following the Canucks he would like to come back. As for anything substantive, there is not.

This probably why:
