Foligno.

Did Peterson refuse to sign a contract the year he was drafted?

Not happy.

No.

You may not be old enough to remember but they were a finalist during a previous round of expansion.

Here's my team. Feel free to tear it apart... http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/assemble-the-knights/user-pick?UserName=VHYXVBWQ

This is pretty damn hard.

I think Fluery is a better fit short term, not long term. There are young quality goalies to choose from, that's what I would want.

No.

If I'm Vegas I'm taking Mrazek, Grubauer and Pickard.

Of course a 2nd team could work in Toronto. So what. It doesn't matter. You could add a team in Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, Hamilton and Saskatoon. All would be successful. It don't matter. The long term goal of the league is to grow the game in America. Like it or not, it's an American league that happens to have Canadian teams, no different than MLB or the NBA. The long term goal is a more lucrative TV deal in America. You don't get that by adding teams in Montreal and Toronto.

That doesn't grow the game in America, which is the big picture.

I don't think it's realistic that we don't get another expansion team. I like how the new divisions ensure Canada never goes through the embarrassment of not having a team qualify for the playoffs again.

Kane and #8 for Brodin and Niederreiter? Anyone?

I just don't believe Kane puts us in position to contend. I don't our D can be upgraded enough, I don't think our wings are good enough, especially if adding Patty means losing Evander, I don't think our bottom two centers will be good enough. I think we'd be a much better team if we rolled Jack-Sam-ROR at 17-18 minutes per line much like we did Drury,Briere, Roy. Fill in the wingers around that spine and I think we compete for 6-8 years.

No way in hell I trade Reinhart and #8 for Kane. I think Sam could be a special player as a second line center, I don't understand why he's so undervalued by many on this board. I don't trade Sam's future for two to three decent years of Kane straight up. Kane is not the missing piece to winning a cup. By the time this team is ready to compete for a cup Kane will be declining. It just doesn't make sense to me.

No, no he would not have been.

Good.

Ellis out. Irwin moved up with Josi. Bitetto playing with Weber. Am I worried? no! I like Bitetto, and Matt Irwin's about to play the game of his life! Pittsburgh! Crosby! Go Smashville! WE WANT THE CUP!! WE WANT THE CUP!! WE WANT THE CUP!!

I would be shocked if him winning the cup or not winning the cup with Nashville had any effect on him as the Sabres coach at all. I think the prior has no impact on the latter, and if it does I don't want him as the Sabres coach.

Preach brother!!

Did you watch it? PK looked like an MMA fighter going for a take down before, during, and after Crosby whacked him in the head. If PKs not holding Crosby, Crosby doesn't hit him.

BOOM!! Good one. I got nothing. In my defense though it was a tire iron, no firearms were involved.

Who is that?

I like lehner. I'd give him five x five.
