Does everyone think that Chicago has won 3 Cups in 6 years without thinking about what players they had coming up to take over for ones they had to get rid of? You can't just look at making a 1-3 year run at the Cup or you won't be looking for another decade or more.

I think McCabe gets forgotten somewhat. He has more upside than Ruwedel. Does McCabe or Ruwedel crack into the top 6 with the other as 7 or do they battle each other for the 7 spot? That will be a be something to watch at training camp depending on what GMTM might still do.

Maybe not specifically with just this trade but I do fear there is not a plan beyond say 4 years from now. In 8 years I can see Eichel being traded to start the whole process again since the future depth has been stripped clean.

Ruwedel is more of a 7. Pysyk slides into the top 4. Still need a better top 6 player at the least.

Need to get a dman in FA and another to develop

"All he wanted to be was a pro hockey play-a" Quote from Jack's dad.

4th liner but he did score 19 goals, 19 assists 2 years ago. Had back surgery last year but was still on pace for mid teen amount of goals before that.

I'll let that Lehner trade slide a little bit for today.

is there is a draft going on tonight or something?

If real trades are going to be discussed in this thread can someone change the name from 'ideas and speculation'

Sounds like the Bruins will be getting the Kings #13. So the Bruins very soon could have the 13th, 14th & 15th picks.

Calgary got the better deal there. Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 9m9 minutes ago CGY gives up 1st round pick (15th) and two second-round picks for Dougie Hamilton. #TSN

GMTM gives away draft picks like Oprah gave away cars. You get a draft pick and you get a draft pick and you get a draft pick!

Now I expect that Lehner will get another concussion in his first preseason game with the Sabres and be out for the season. Horrible, horrible trade.

Even Darcy will be laughing at this trade if it turns out to be what is currently reported.

Ottawa should be giving the Sabres their first for taking Legwand,

They do know he is 29? That deal has to be making Drew Stafford smile.

Can we get back to the more important part of your post - the tour of a whiskey production facility? I still don't see a post in the whiskey thread.

Boston is the armpit of the beast.

Benromach 10 year is a pretty good Speyside variety. An interesting Islay variety I had once was Bunnahabhain 12 year - way less peat. But it is sherried.

120 proof. That's a sippin' whiskey.

Now that the league knows the Leafs are planning to tank; expect them to scrap that lottery format.

Ouch - Shanny with a dig towards Sabres process? He didn't subscribe to hiring the worst coach for a few years to begin rebuild.

'Pain' is probably a nicer word than 'suffering'.

Sounded like they are ready for a full tank process to get the draft picks they need to get top level talent into the organization.
