  1. Judging by their screen doors I guess TrueBlue and D4rk have something to offer in that department...

     

     

     

    But otherwise I think the first two names they ask for are Bogosian and Ristolainen. I can't see that happening and would be highly disappointed if it did. I don't think it will.

    Outside of them we've got Zadorov, Gorges, Pysyk, McCabe and Weber to offer in a deal. Zadorov is the popular name, and I would expect that he would be a key piece to the deal if Colorado believes that he can play in the NHL right now (which could be why Murray/Bylsma put out to the media that they believe he can). The most popular offer is some variation of Zadorov, Grigorenko, 21 and maybe another piece. I could see Colorado pushing for something like Zadorov and one of the other dmen I just mentioned excluding Bogo/Risto, 21 and a prospect (Grigorenko, Larsson, Compher, Hurley).

     

    If the deal is Zadorov, Weber/Gorges, Grigorenko and 21 then I think it's a definite yes. If Weber/Gorges has to be one of Pysyk/McCabe then I don't give them the extra prospect and might want a lesser defensive prospect coming back our way.

    That's way too much to give up. IMO

  2. He's 31 and a left hand shot, and will command too much money.

     

    If we are going to spend that kinda doe we need a young rising right hand shot. 

    Vanek is right handed all day and everyday.

  3. 1) those are definitely Bob's old friends.

    2) I really think he was bitten in the basement.

    3) what did the priest do?!?!

     

    I think the priest was a human supplier for Terminus. People would feel safe at his church then he would turn them over to Gareth and his crew for food. That's why that phrase was etched on the churchs outside.

     

    And yeah I too think bob was scratched or bitten on the leg.

  4. Nailed it!

     

    I think it's still possible that Miller resigns in St Louis, but it'd be a quite unlikely and curious move. Keep in mind that Brian Elliott hasn't ever played a truly "full" (>55 game) season. Does a wannabe contender go all in on Elliott and developing goalie Jake Allen? Or do they bring in a veteran, have him split time with the guy that's been splitting time, and let Jake Allen take time to develop in the A? That'd be a lot of goalie insurance, but a defense-first team may be looking for that- because if one of those guys goes down or, in Elliott's case, they can't handle the workload, their goaltending situation becomes an enormous question mark.

     

    Nope, not going to happen, and I don't think Ryan is going to have too many other options starting July 1.

  5. Wow — now Miller has reached the end of the line? Back-up or retirement is the best he can look forward to?

    Are we talking the same Ryan Miller who stood on his head for most of the season before he got traded?

    His performance in San Jose last fall alone should earn him an offer from the Sharks.

     

    Given his makeup I see him taking a two-year offer from a contender (San Jose, Pittsburgh, maybe Anaheim) where he can probably be number one, over more money from a lesser team where he would be an obvious upgrade — Islanders, Caps, Canucks, Oilers, Jets, Flames, or even the Hurricanes (if the Ward rumours are true) or the Sabres.

     

    Dallas, Detroit, Minnesota, Philly will probably kick his tires.

     

    Is he going to get a five-year, $35 million offer? I doubt it at least not from a place where he wants to go.

    But he will be playing in the NHL next year somewhere, and almost certainly as a number one.

     

    While I concur he may be a #1, I don't see him being a #1 on a contending team. I do not think a cup contender GM is willing to put his job on the line for Miller after his most recent Blues performance.

  6. Terminus = cannibals is my guess.

     

    Did you see all the skulls,spines,rib cages bones inside that caged area when Rick, Machone, Daryl, Carl were running around being shot at.

  7. I didn't compare them at all. Please manufacture your outrage for someone else. My point was that I didn't like it that even one of MLB's all-time great players (Rivera) wore a number that was honored, retired, reserved and associated with one of the most important players in the history of the game. I don't see Rivera as disrespectful, but I think it cheapens the gesture of retiring that number. If the Sabres team and the players around it don't think it's a bit soon to re-use the number of the departed 2nd best goaltender in franchise history, no big deal. I am entitled to my own opinion and if I were in the locker room I might ask Neuvirth to hold up.

     

    Mo wore 42 before MLB retired it in 1997. Anybody already wearing it was allowed to keep wearing it. Mo was the last one, and no one will ever wear 42 in MLB again.

  8. Murray obviously went over PLF's head to get the Ott/Miller deal done. In effect, PLF did his job too well; he hired a pittbull of a GM.

     

    PLF didn't like the move, decides to quit after learning Pegula is an unrepentant meddler.

     

    During the Leafs/Habs 1st int. tonight Don Cherry eluded to the bolded also. Said something to the effect of TM going over/around/under PLF to the owner about the trade, and that was why PLF left.

  9. On a flight from Detroit to Orlando in 1998 or 1999 my seat was among the Orlando Solar Bears hockey team of the IHL. I made small hockey talk with some of them but most of them were napping or had head phones on. When I found out who they were, i couldn't believe it, as they were just young looking teenage kids. They were all cool and that was a good flight.
