  1. Jack Eichel CANNOT re-enter the draft. Let's throw out that idea right away. That is a scenario that is not possible for an NCAA player.
  2. Right, but when the teams above them trade their pick, it isn't one which will have a small percentage shot at McDavid, which I thought was the purpose of the current discussion. Maybe I'm over-reading on that one though.
  3. Fortunately things have tightened up a bit. A week or two ago, it looked like there would be no race whatsoever for the last few spots. Now Boston's gone cold and Florida (also gone cold) and Philly at least belong in the conversation. Minnesota and LA are in play out west. So maybe one of those 4-6 teams consider the move, but I don't think anyone else outside the window would.
  4. But will the bubble teams risk it? So far every moved pick is a playoff team. The Isles and maybe the Rags were the only teams that took some risk at the time of moving theirs. The rest (yes, even St. Louis) knew they were playoff teams at the time of the trade. This will be interesting to watch. I don't think those bubble teams will trade their pick.
  5. BU. Your post is the equivalent of saying Jim Kelly was the best Dolphins QB of all time.
  6. You don't lose your heritage and blood line simply by being born somewhere else.
  7. The CBA mandates that all ELC contracts are two-way.
  8. Was it a punch to the face that busted his lip or a stick? I'd complain over that.
  9. Whatever you say, Webster.
  10. The thread itself is great. That specific conversation itself was the December CHL losing streak.
  11. It would be interesting to see where Jagr's numbers would be if he had never left for the KHL. how close to the top would he have been?
  12. Wait, Cherry actually likes a French canadian?
  13. Can the sabres keep anymore salary? I know there's a limit and I haven't seen the exact number on Stafford.
  14. Screw it. I say use the whole clock. Then read off a card while up there and pause at the name like you forget who you are picking.
  15. Why on earth does the draft status of any of these players matter? It's awfully convenient to bring that up for who the sabres gave up but then ignore that Bogosian and Kane went third and fourth overall.
  16. I'm skeptical with a lot of these reports that come out of lesser known guys covering junior hockey or the agents. There's typically a lot of bias there and they're trying to push an agenda. It's particularly bad with the Q (Lemieux is OHL though).
  17. This discussion is as entertaining as a sabre game.
  18. I wonder how different their radio/play by play is from the main station's credibility level. It's amazing how little comes up when you google this guy. It obviously doesn't matter at this point since Lemieux is gone, but I still have a hard time believing this one. 20 months before it would even be relevant, the threat makes no sense right now. But I'll leave it alone now, I don't need to fixate on one single point. PA, I'm always going to call out something where it looks like stealing someone else's work. I've seen it happen to friends and it sucks. Fortunately it looks like we have a new poster who can string together his/her thoughts in a clear manner. We need more of those.
  19. Just because they're committed to it doesn't mean they've achieved it yet. Baby steps.
  20. I like the LA bit. They said no way on including Toffoli or Pearson for Myers yet some people thought they would move one of them in order to get someone to take Mike Richards. Kind of kills that idea, don't you think?
  21. Which is why he wants to wait a year and see if his production continues to grow again next year.
  22. Yeah, but is it "not willing to sign today" or "not willing to sign with Buffalo"? Those are two very different statements but for whatever reason, only the second is what people are running with. The comment I heard from Murray was more of the former.
  23. Well then we've got an actual writer in our midst because the language and style is far more professional than most of us bozos around here. Anyway, I do want to see that "Lemieux wouldn't sign" rumor go away though (speaking of which, Jakubec is not TSN). That one is absurd on so many levels.
  24. So where is this cut and pasted from?
