They need to do it to coincide with the end of the rebuild. I think it could easily be accomplished if they set their collective minds to it. Ted, we know you stalk the forums, give this some serious though, okay?

Thank you. I much prefer this type of explanation rather than "virtually no chance" despite the obviousness of the reply.

RIP Monty, I liked you and your Kermit the Frog voice. Way too young.

Seconded, to the very last Orc.

It's straight from the horse's mouth, the same kind of crap we're dealing with here. They spent more time on Hodgson's issues than any other player. Then, when they decided to dump him, THEY PADDED HIS STATS by giving him easy starts - how else do you "(build) him into something (they) could move"? A spade is a spade; a Hodgson is a Hodgson.

Something like that... Ex-Canuck Cody Hodgson a complainer, ‘didn’t want to be here,’ says GM Mike Gillis

Agreed. I'm not anywhere near the level of obsessive-compulsive lots of folks are here, but it's been clear that McDavid is the 1 and Eichel is the two. The only real debate is how far apart they actually are.

Uhhmmmm...he was on Vancouver with a far better talent base? And, to the point that they had too many centers: that's true to an extent. If he was worth keeping what with his production, they would have kept him. He's a passenger who feeds off the talent around him. Without someone clearing a path for him he's nothing.

...or whomever is in second. And for every CHL loss, that number goes down by two, meaning the RPTC goes down by two. Adding the one to the second place team's MPP ensures the clinch. This makes total sense. That post before you answered mine made all of it clear.

Is 124 an arbitrary number? Do I have to re-read several pages of this thread to find out?

Vancouver traded Hodgson because he was a slacker. I don't understand why this reflects on Nolan and why it's worth more than a line in an interwebz post.

You're just doing them on your own. :bag:

This is ridiculous. With all due respect. If they were "in lock step" then they would absolutely make it appear like the tank is intentional and there would be no plausible deniability. There is no way, right now, Nolan and Murray can be seen as "being on the same page". It has to look like an internal cluster-f*#k for this to work.

Dude. Duuuuude. If you're the marrying type, this becomes important...

The only issue will be physical maturity.

Every time Phil Kessel is mentioned I think of cheeseburgers.

It's okay, we understand you had your McEichelgoggles on at the time.

There's a whole bunch of other games, I go back to the Atari 800xl days, but felt compelled to stay somewhat recent. These days it takes me a while to get through a game. I'm still playing Skyrim and Far Cry 3. It didn't take long to go through Dishonored, though, and I'm an every-nook-and-cranny guy. At least this way the games I want to play next are always cheap on Steam, unlike the games my kids like to play.

I didn't know much about Bogosian until this evening. I think I like what this guy is all about and am eager to see him play. Bogsie has a nice ring to it. Maybe the Bogy Bag? Bogostrano? The Bogs?

Oh God, where to begin. It's embarrassing, really. PC for me, except where noted. 1. Postal 2 2. Skyrim 3. Bioshock 4. Call of Duty 5. I actually liked GTA IV 6. Mafia 7. Batman Arkham Asylum 8. Crysis 9. Half-Life 10. WII Bowling (any version)

It ensures the tank. An offer sheet is pretty much the only thing Murray has yet to do, that and a three-way trade. At this point, now that he's dealt one of the first round picks and Enroth, I really don't care what happens any more - go BIG and CRAZY! I want to see an offer sheet tendered.

I like you guys. You make me feel warm and fuzzy, even though you're probably upset what's his named stepped down from his CC show.

Hodgson for a fifth? LET'S GO! Murray has to be giggling himself to death in his office right now.

I found the Sabres' goalie for next season:
