MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think it's too late to tank for a top 2 pick, which is either Vancouver Boy Rienhart, and Ekblad, but we can still go for a top 5 pick, which is Dal Cole, Bennet, or that German kid, who are actually equal to Reinhart. I think it's time to tank this season, more or less (take a year off) I think San Jose Kinda did that twice in the past 10 years, were their team totally blew the season, (03 and 09).

Dragonfruits Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Lol. I bet you think Booth, Higgins and Santorelli are second liners too. didn't say they were Higgins like others have said is a high end 3rd liner currently 32 points 16g 16a 2.5 million Pacioretty 26g 11a 37 points 4.5 million not saying Higgins is better than Pacioretty he is only 25 just hitting his prime but 37 points for that kind of money is pretty sad but so is the Canadiens offense and like i said before Price must be stealing a lot of games when their leading point scorer is Subban at 39 points on defense then Pacioretty with 37 points on forwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thats hot. No chance at Reinhart though? For sure we do. Actually all non-playoff teams have a shot at #1 now (it used to be only the bottom 5). The odds are as follows: 30th team - 25.0% 29th - 18.8% 28th - 14.2% 27th - 10.7% 26th - 8.1% 25th - 6.2% 24th - 4.7% 23rd - 3.6% 22nd - 2.7% 21st - 2.1% 20th - 1.5% 19th - 1.1% 18th - 0.8% 17th - 0.5% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Now this !@#$% excites me. And with the new draft lottery format, our chances of getting the #1 overall pick jump to 6.2%. Still, at this pace we'll quickly be in Bennett, Virtanen, and Ritchie territory. This is something that we should all get behind. If we get a pick between 6-10th (say 7th), and draft Draisaitl, if I were GM I'd do everything in my power to get one or two more picks and grab Virtanen and Fleury. Draisaitl Virtanen Horvat Kassian Shinkaruk Gaunce Fleury Tanev Now that is some hot **** to get excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfruits Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 LOL he says its sad they pay that kind of money, has more goals than both Sedins ya he does except he has less points also for people ripping the Sedins yes this will go down as their worst season offensively since they were 1st liners but here is a little line from TSN Henrik Sedin is 3rd in points since 2010 Olympics and people are expecting Gillis not to re-sign a player like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Fire Gillis I wasn't really impressed with his interview today on 1040. Is that how he always sounds? Didn't seem to give any direct answers, and seemed to think Price was trying to pull a fast one on him or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ṣpiderman Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 lol @ people wondering why Gillis hasn't made a move yet. Trades take time, they don't just happen. You need to think. Team is a joke, we won't win the cup even if we make playoffs. Good enough to squeak in but do nothing. Flames style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team is a joke, we won't win the cup even if we make playoffs. Good enough to squeak in but do nothing. Flames style. I know. It sucks to admit this but I think it's just better to tank now anyway for the better pick. But still try to make trades in the process of making this team younger and better.

Draisaitl Virtanen Horvat Kassian Shinkaruk Gaunce Fleury Tanev Now that is some hot **** to get excited about. My thought exactly. Gillis needs to sell, sell, sell to get one or two additional high picks. He needs to package guys if he has to in order to make it work. Quality over quantity is a must. We can always pick up spare parts to round out the team in the summer. In the meantime, I'll be thinking about how each loss brings us one step closer to one of those prospects and doing this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't say much, can't tell if he's being caustic or if he's being dry. Just another Gillis interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
