If there's anything I hate more than power rankings, it's power rankings months before the start of training camp. I guess they give people something to talk about this year, but once things get started, the only power ranking that matters is the one where the Bills finish 7-9 each year.

5 games

Don't take this as a defense, but I can't help but laugh at the logic in that writers take on the drafting of Hodgson. Using the tenth pick to take the worst guy in the top ten. Isn't that how it's supposed to work? He couldn't have drafted those better earlier guys because they were already gone.

I wouldn't go that far. He had the chance to work on the defense but he instead focused more on the offense. Whether or not that's worthy of a firing is another story all together. To say that if given the chance, he would have succeeded is a bit of a stretch. I think it's perfectly reasonable to question his evaluation of the position given that the guys he has actually added to the position haven't worked out so well. He may have been able to fix it, but personally I'm doubtful on that. But at this point, we'll never know.

No, the only thing other GMs are going to do in that situation is to immediately call Joe Sakic.

And they're both BU, so clearly it's a done deal

Ten days ago I had to replace an 8 month old tire because of a nail. This morning? Nail in the same tire.

I have to say, that much money locked up in a pair of wings scares me a bit. It's one thing when you've got good young guys on their ELCs, but those are about to end. Edmonton is the only team that immediately came to mind with that much locked up on wings (Eberle, Lucic), but we'll see what happens there once McDavid maxes out (and Draisaitl's raise). Is there anyone else, Minnesota maybe?

We get it, you recently learned how to use the ignore feature. He sounds like a canadian to me.

That's less than he makes now. He'll laugh at that kind of proposal.

I think I'd take that over the current version where I can never find anything anymore.

This has to be the worst post-draft topic I have ever read.

Post the link. You're going to bring on some trouble if you keep cut and pasting stuff like that.

Well I did beat up Kublai Khan a while back. True story.

You should probably link to the article because I have a hard time trying to figure out exactly what kind of logic leads to those changes.

I know that when I encounter one of life's crazy circumstances, the first thought that comes to mind is what Mike Rowe (or any other "celebrity") would think. It's gotten me through many tough spots.

Am I the only one who reads one of our poster's name as "Gay Sabre Fan"? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I finished Final Fantasy XV last night and I still have absolutely no clue what was going on during the entire game.

I want him just so that we can have three different prospects at the same time (no matter how briefly) with the same name each with a different spelling.

Random media folks for some unknown reason (ie. Laziness) have thrown out the thought of a BU takeover with Drury and Quinn. Theyve been looking the the wrongs BU guy the whole time.

But then you can't pretend to be an insider.

And on top of that, it's a depth chart that is very thin on the blue line

Does anyone know why the guy who played OC in Miracle is currently the #1 search on hockeydb? edit: Googled it, apparent suicide

I'm too lazy to look up his age, but if he's getting an entry level contract, it's automatically two way.

Just like pretty much every other goalie on the face of the earth, Petersen is going to need a few years in the AHL before he's ready. No team is going to give him a shot with the big club right away. I'm sure someone can throw out a name or two of recent guys who made it right away, but it's a very short list.
