Mustache of God

I suppose the question is, "is that good enough for winnipeg to make that trade?"

What do you think gets a deal done to swap Risto (3 years left) & Ehlers (6 years left)? Considering the term we'd have to throw in more to sweeten it up? Lottery protected 2020 pick + nylander?

I can't wait to get a Vesey jersey.

Because you graduated from the Tim Murray school of Asset Management with honors?

Wouldn't Randy Sexton be orchestrating these rochester signings?

lol. Vesey will probably have more impact than a 3rd round pick but...we need to start moving out underachievers and not draft picks.

This was an awesome write-up. Cheers!

Is Montour some sort of fn joke to you? We have too many D. Jbot isn't done yet.

Is it safe to say JBOT is waiting for FA to shakeout before making any trades? If we bring in a player or two in FA we're going to have too many roster players on the team and will need to jettison some of them, right? Oloffson replaces Pommers and other than that there's no turn-over. I guess you could easily waive Elie, Sobotka, and Wilson. I suppose patience is required. We know JBOT needs and wants to make changes to the roster. I just hate being patient and there's been a lot of activity across the league and I don't like feeling we're getting left behind in the dust.

As the roster stands now he's a shoe in.

I agree, kinda came off as a young Matt Foley before his career derailed and he ended up living in a van down by the river.

If memory serves correct he was a waiver wire pick-up when Wilson broke his ankle during training camp, correct? I'd imagine he'd be Rochester bound and would only come up for injuries? Still scratching my head a bit with how this off-season is going. We haven't gotten rid of anybody (except maybe Pomminstein who I'm replacing with Oloffson?). I have faith he'll add in FA but we're going to have to get rid of a player or two, right? Or do we just waive the dead weight?

They could be first in the league into November and it can still be a safe assumption we're in for a crappy year.

This is exactly what happened.

Ugh, I'm playing in a hockey tournament this weekend and my first game is at 8:10 pm today, so I'm going to miss most of the first round and hopefully turn my phone on to see an avalanche of trades. Fingers crossed JBOT does something.

I have very little knowledge about any of the draft prospects, why doesn't Spencer Knight make sense? Is he way off the board? Does that indicate a trade down scenario? Edit: A quick google tells me he's the 16th ranked skater and is a goalie. Part of me now wants us to take him at 7 to watch this board implode :)

I was confused by this before I realized there was a second line. An 8 figure contract for a goalie is a sound idea.

I am whelmed by this news. I do t think this team will ever be good with both of these two on the roster. They're infected with "tank stink" and need a change of scenery. Hopefully they're part of a package in a trade.

I think my 1 year trial is coming to an end on the special rate, I'm gonna think long/hard about using that to create a new account.

Bogo for Peterson, straight up hockey trade.

Over/under on how many of these games will be broadcast in some matter? My jimmies always get so rustled that time of year, after the long off-season, starved for any hockey and they don't televise half the games.

If he has another year left there is 0% chance that he will sign with a team who hasn't sniffed the playoffs in 9 seasons.

San Jose signs Karlsson 8X11+. He'll be 37 when the deal expires.

Probably his Stanley cup rings?
