Also funny how some ppl were freaking out about the rest days instead of practice. 

Nice that Green got rewarded with a solid effort from his players. 

 

i find it funny that teams who had it easy for this first part of the season, now are somewhat panicked  their schedule is going to become grueling, like ours has been, but nobody seemed to mention it  until Green finally did!

Tough call for the net tonight. But I will say it would be good for Holtby to get the start. He knows if he doesn’t have a good game he probably won’t see the net for awhile...

@SNuck: I think a new thread is needed for tonight’s game.

I would say that trading Edler assuming he waives his NTC would be more beneficial to our team this year since he has good value and can fetch some high pick or good prospect. I see things differently than you. You value hanging on to older vet guys until you think they are not able to be competitive players. While I see things in another way where we trade older vets and bring in more youth to improve the team for the future. I dont mind Edler if he signs for 700K and we dont sign Benn. But I just dont see why we never have good asset management. This off season was brutal, when we let half the team walk for nothing. We let the Sedins walk for nothing but they retired at the right time so I didnt mind that. We were suppose to be competing with the Leafs for 1st not competing for 1st overall after 7 years of rebuild. I just compare Avs D to ours and wonder what we did wrong. 

Edler has a NMC not a NTC.  He asked for an NMC because he does not want to play for any other team.  Stating that Alex should sign a contract for 700k is ridiculous and indicates you are either trolling, or you know very little about fair contracts in the NHL.

 

Furthermore, The Leafs (15yr rebuild) and Avs (8yr rebuild) appear to be finally looking like they might make some noise in the P/Os.  The Leafs have yet to make it past the 1st round in the playoffs and the Avs just made it to the 2nd last year.  Speaking of the Avs, did you know that they have had 7 top 10 picks; 5 of them #4 or less?
