A 1st for Vermette

Do me a favor guys, go to the website called YouTube.com and type in CONNOR MCDAVID.

As far as the Murray Fired comments, not serious at all. He is the guy we want, keen eye for young talent.

Yup, at least we can watch the trade deadline with some enthusiasm now. Funny how 2 franchise players will make you want to lose, and not really care if you get robbed in trades. I can't wait for this gongshow to be over so we can all remember what hockey is all about.

The race should not have been anywhere near this close, and that is my problem. I'm confident in our ability to everything up, but does that mean we will up finishing last too?

Was that on Twitter?

I want to see Murray fired if we don't finish last. He better have something up his sleeve, and he better be ready to make it happen in the next 22 hours. Good job people of Buffalo, couldn't yandle(haha) all the suffering, had to have darcys head. ARE YOU ALL HAPPY NOW???

It has been confirmed that both picks are for the upcoming 2015 draft.

Stewart to Boston(half salary retained) and a 4th for a 1st. Mezaros will go for a prospect(expect to retain salary or acquire a salary dump player) the other ufas can go for future considerations for all I care. Look at the points McDavid is putting up compared to mackinnon or any other 1st overall selection. I would ship guys with expiring contracts for virtually nothing to get a better chance at him.

How valuable is an NHL draft pick? http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/707825 (via http://thesco.re/theScore_app ) Already posted this in the Vancouver GdT. Figured I'd post it here too I really hope so, words can't express the disappointment of not finishing last this year. I was cursing yesterday when I finished hockey and seen we won 6-3.

Yeah, he's currently ranked 10th in the iss rankings. Like you said the way he played recently is most likely what fueled the article. I agree it's unlikely, however it's good to see guys closing the gap. My guess is whichever defenseman Edmonton prefers is likely to be the defenseman called.

I read an article that said a few scouts believe Provorov would be the first Defenseman selected.

I'm kind of surprised someone was willing to take in that contract. Good for Toronto opens up a lot of space for them. Actually yah, makes sense for both parties. A win win if you will

No clue where topost this, but I found it very interesting so I'm posting it here.How valuable is an NHL draft pick? http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/707825 (via http://thesco.re/theScore_app )

Never heard one person call him a thug. As I stated, Bufuglien is black. That is 100% not the case. The problem with Kane was he put himself before the team, and didn't act like a professional. Can you provide me with any proof of any Winnipeg fan calling Kane a thug? Or anything remotely racist? I sure as he'll can't and I know thousands of jets fans.

Yeah BU my bad. Don't hate me for saying this but I don't pay any attention to the NFL so I don't know how to take that comment. Didn't say he was going to, didn't even imply it actually. I was just saying that if he was going to go back there for another year he would do so before signing(like my post said). You said there's a 0% chance of it happening so I'd throw $1 at 1000000-1 odds if your interested? Great post, although I wouldn't say "without compensation" he would have a education to fall back on. I'm aware that wouldn't be the same amount of money, or anywhere near it, but there is something to gain.

What exactly?

Beautiful day here today. -15C without the windchill, don't even have to put a jacket on to go for a smoke.

If Eichel decided he wanted to play another year at BC he would have to do so before signing an ELC. Once he signs he can't chose to go back know any reason. If he wanted to he could finish school and not sign with us at all. Once he graduates he could sign anywhere as a UFA for any amount. -----—------------------ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I really don't see McDavid or Eichel playing the season opener on the 1st line. To me they should be playing a little more sheltered minutes with more offensive zone starts. I'm not saying all season but I think they shouldn't just be thrown into the fire, playing against top competition

Byfuglien is black too and he's the fan favorite so I don't think it had much to do with Kane.

[qu=sizzlemeister" post="651813" timestamp="1423724956]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? In Winnipeg we called him Bogo

Schneider was traded for a 1st round pick, which became Bo Horvat. I'd say he had more value then Fucale and Subban. I'd be pumped if we traded our other low 1st for a goalie of Schneider's caliber. I'm not too sure an opportunity like that will present itself but I wouldn't want to pay more then a 2nd or a mediocre prospect and a later Rd pick. Edit: for Fucale or Subban or any other goaltending prospect.
