We overvalue our own. It's universal across all fanbases. Just look at the difference between what Chicago fans thought they could get for Jokiharju and what they actually got. The kid may very well have an NHL future, but it will be a near miracle if he steps up in a big way this year. My main concern with him is the NHL or bust status he's got. If you're going to commit to the NHL team, commit yourself fully to their system (granted there may be contractual obligations). That type of setup really makes me wonder whether or not the guy truly wants to be here.

Isn't it a bit redundant to have both the club and then also this thread? I'm not trying to be a Richard here, but I'm not really sure what is the real goal of having all the clubs. I like the idea of having a stand alone source for all of this, but isn't it supposed to do just that, stand alone?

Given what Labanc signed for, it does make you wonder how far the Sharks were willing to go. Teams could have easily tripled that offer without it even approaching bank breaking status. I'm the biggest preacher of how the player has to actually want to sign an offer sheet, but you'd have to think he'd at least listen if that much more was offered to him.

I saw where you were going. But then again, I have two different t-shirts about sarcasm.

I walk by the VA hospital out here occasionally. They always have some sort of truck/trailer parked on the side for the “Durham VA Department of Emergency Response”. They do in fact use the abbreviation D VADER @DarthEbriate

Were you talking to the mirror again?

Are you asking if he thinks Kim Pegula made the trade?

I just want random tv interviews where he shows up in the background.

Synonym wasn't the right word since rip and torn are more of a cause and effect. Awesome gif aside, Shooter McGavin does not fit what I was going for. And since I said actor, Christopher and McDonald don't fit either.?

I want more actors with synonym names.

What would they be looking to move? i feel like if he was going to be spun to Florida it would have happened already. Those type of deals always seem to happen within an hour of each other.

There’s a first for everything. But seriously, it’s completely ok for people to disagree with you. It would be boring as hell if everyone thought the same way. Disagreement is not an attack. I married the only other person I know who takes criticism so poorly. So you may want to keep your distance from me.

Thanks for the Finland info. I'm too lazy to dig too deeply into google so I didn't see why he had so few games played last year after starting the year in Chicago.

I might be going way out into the deep end here, but part of me wonders if they could add a goalie. I'm not so crazy about what they currently have.

Do the conditions of the Hunwick trade about not being able to waive/trade him carry over to this year? It's pretty clear that he's not an NHL guy at this point, but that could still get in the way if they do carry over.

So his game log has him sent down to the minors after January last year. Was it demotion, injury, or for the AHL playoffs?

Clearly something more is in the works. with all those D.

I accidentally clicked on that last week. I haven't tried it again since.

Be sure to check in the mirror for any sharpie shenanigans.

Might I add that when half of your posts state that you're leaving and never coming back, it tends to grate on people.

Wait, we're not talking about Spiderman's wife?

That's my immediate thought to all of this. I don't care much about what the other teams are thinking. I want to know what the player is thinking.

Sweet, the fan in Carolina can continue to get worked up by the comments of someone he's never heard of.

I cringe at the nicknames in general. The only one I would accept is if we sign Dzingel and people decide to call him berry.
